HAVE YOU TRIED BOARDS 3 YET?

On Valentine's Day, the VIN Wizards/Geeks released new message boards on WWW.vin.com. On March 28, a second release was launched based upon feedback from VINners. Last Tuesday, a third release was launched based upon additional feedback.

 

The major visible changes in this last release impact the POST NEW and REPLY functions. As much as possible, while keeping them mobile friendly, the VIN Wizards returned the layout and function to be more like the prior boards.

 

Boards 3 will soon be ready for the final step of moving them to WWW.vin.com and retiring the current message boards permanently.

 

Try Boards 3 now and share your feedback in this thread or email Feedback@vin.com.

YOU'RE ONLY HUMAN

When Cases Go Wrong

If this is the worse thing you have ever done and if it is the worst thing that happens, count your blessings. Many of us can top this, I certainly can. As others have said, realize that the past cannot be undone, all you can do is learn from it. Forgive yourself in due time, move on, and change the things you can change.
