Was this forum on DU2?

Lord have mercy, I could have saved myself a lot of headaches had I known about you all.

I bought an unfinished 1867 carriage house that was in process of being converted to residential and "finished" it (mostly via handymen) myself. This would have been an invaluable resource during that process! I learned more than I ever knew I could during that time and can only imagine what a vault of knowledge must be lurking here.

Skinner is right - the groups are going to be the shizzle once this is off the ground.

Looking forward to your participation and hope you will share some of your own hard earned knowledge.

I sure hope all the old threads are still available, though I'm not sure how to 'see' or access them yet.
A veritable treasure trove of DIY advice.

The old DU2 still exists. You have to go over there to see your old posts, PMs, bookmarks and your journal. I suppose you could copy and paste information over as needed. I'm still learning how to use DU3. For instance, avatars, sig lines etc all have to bs set up here.
