This is the Movie Night discussion thread for
Rawhide. We'll meet here up to an hour before we start rolling the film on Sunday July 17, 2011. (or in Australia, Monday, July 18.)
If possible, please check in at least ten minutes before the start time, so we'll know everyone is here who wanted to be. For anyone who'd like to join us ... have your
Rawhide DVD (or video) ready to play. We'll start the film at 20:00 UTC, Board Time.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.htmlWe'll be starting at the second crack of the whip on the soundtrack. This is at 0:00:04 on the R-4 DVD. Set up your DVD here, and pause. We'll all be hitting "Start" at exactly the top of the hour.
We'll be taking three breaks during the 2 episodes. (Usually around 10 minutes)
The first break is at the end of Chapter 4 on the R-4 DVD of the
Incident at Alabaster Plain episode. This is at 0:28:35. When the screen fades to black for a commercial break we'll take a break.
The second break will be at the end of the first episode. After the final credits end, we'll take a break.
The final break is at the end of Chapter 4 on the R-4 DVD of the
Incident With An Executioner episode. This is at 0:27:04. When the screen fades to black for a commercial break we'll take a break.
I hope to see as many members here as possible.
(I'm starting this thread early so I could add the event to the calendar--all events must have a thread to link to.)
Just a couple of reminders:
1) By default, this board gives you a warning message when someone else has posted while you're writing a post. That can get very frustrating in the heat of things in these threads ... but now the feature can be turned off, temporarily (or permanently if you prefer).
To turn it off, click the link on the brown bar near the top of the page to your profile: 
You'll go to your profile page. On the left-hand side, there's a list of stuff you can do here including "Modify profile." Under that heading, click the link to "Look and Layout Preferences." Now you'll see some choices with little white checkboxes next to them. One of them is "Don't warn on new replies made while posting." Click in that box so there's a check mark there. Then, in the lower right hand corner, click "Change profile" and you're all set.
I find it also helps to use the keyboard shortcut when posting: alt+s. (Or in the latest version of Firefox, alt+shift+s.)
2) You can also use the "Quick Reply" feature: At the bottom of each thread is a brown bar with "Quick Reply" on the left hand corner. If you don't have it enabled, that's all you'll see and there will be a plus sign to the left of "Quick Reply." Click the plus sign, and a reply box will open beneath the brown bar and will stay there until you click the sign (now a minus) next to "Quick Reply" again. You can type your post right in this box and don't have to wait for a "Reply" page to open. It's a little harder to use smilies, though, unless you remember all the shortcuts!
