error message reply to Yuhe

Ya, I posted twice too. I apparently can only post here, on the FAQ and General info forum, because the last three times I attempted to post elsewhere, when I clicked on Submit, it erased everything, and said "error, debug mode". I have tried to email the webmaster, and sent a pm as well.

Too bad, I was hoping to participate, and this seems like a worthwhile website for my interests. Perhaps someone can explain why I always get an error message. :?:

Right now the site is having technical problems. The adim already knows about it and is working on it.

Greetings, all. Total n00b, here. Have learned a lot of theory from the site already, but the paper clip isn't getting me very far in the application realm. (I'm lucking into opening an Ace Hardware deadbolt with only two pins in it, but not "feeling" much). Commercial set on the way.

[Sorry if this double posts... I suppose the server is still suffering from the problems that I've been reading about.]

Hey, my name is Mike. I just finished a correspondence course from PCDI. Now that I have finished it I find that I know a lot less than I did before I began. Despite the cheesy course I haven't lost the desire to improve my skills as a budding locksmith. So, if anyone out there is from southern california and wants an apprentice to teach and/or humor for the weekends and maybe an evening or two let me know.

Hello!

Postby TopKey » 24 Sep 2007 22:26

Hi!

This website is such a fabulous resource!

So far I can only pick one ancient, no-name brand padlock, but I am thrilled at the discovery of this forum and the prospect of learning more about picking locks.

Cheerio!
