I don't want to move too far east. Interesting idea but I hope not. Symbolism is good. lol

What is the reason for the change?

Couple or three things. Most important, someone else has appropriated the old name for a project of their own. Since we didn't have anything to show ownershiup except 4 plus years of use, the best idea was to move on, since we had never really intended JT as a permanent name anyway. Next, there's long been a problem attracting new members who, too often, mistake us for a ladies' sewing site. Also, we are a busy, active forum and JT created the impression of a gentle, passive community. So, we kicked around a few names and really like Gates of Babylon ... a symbolic center of interaction and communication. We definitely hope it won't cause a problem.

I think that after a little time to get used to it, this new name will be every bit as good as Jen's Tapestry. I am already discovering very nice new themes and backgrounds. Have chosen cJ's Tarot for the time being. It is attractive looking and I like to play around with the card spreads.

Have fun with it, Jessie. I'm glad you like it.
I'm having some real problems but have decided it must be just me because nobody else has mentioned it.
I can't log out ... the site will not release me. Well, that's not exactly true because I'm free to come and go, but my name stays down on "main street" in the Info section. No matter what I've tried so far, it's still there whether I've logged off or not.
Years ago, I remember people having a similar problem occasionally on the commercial sites and it was called ghosting. I can't remember what caused it or what we did to correct it. Must be something similar here. Fingers crossed I can get this figured out.
Remember, just because you see my name in "members on line" does not mean I'm actually here.
arrrrrrrrrrgh

Thanks, Sugi. We're waiting for PB to correct a setting that affects our email. I have a PM in for Ricky and hope he gets around to it, soon. Tried to do it my self but our host provider said it is a PB function.
Leaving now for a couple of hours but my name will show up as being here. Sorry about that. I am on Support attempting to get some help from Patrick about this one. lol
