RW Forum Change?
If you've been in the RW Forums, you may have read NotMark's post about the forum change, scheduled for Monday, December 29.
The new platform is Pluck's SiteLife and while it appears easy to use, does not appear as robust as Eve (RWOL current platform).
What does this mean for the 2009in2009 Club? I don't know just yet. But I will say that I spent many hours developing new code to retrieve mileage posts and write forum-post scripts (e.g., weekly awards/results) which all may be for naught.
I think I can quickly write code that will generate true HTML pages, in which case the Weekly Results - well, ALL results - would be found here. However, I'm not sure yet how I'll get your mileage posts. Update: I tested my data retrieval macro on a sample SiteLife Forum site and it worked fine. The fact that the forum change will happen the week before club start makes this all very precarious.
I'll keep y'all updated as soon as I hear anything.

I hope it winds up being much easier than it sounds. Thank you so much for your continued efforts. You're tha bomb!
Glenn - thank you for running this. I hope that this glitch in the forums turns out to just be a minor change.
