Desert Midwinter Pistol Championships

Tell me about the DMW site features

The original Desert Midwinter Site could post notices about the annual Desert Midwinter Championship matches, has a nice photo gallery and could display results reasonably well.  So why change?

Well, there was no way we could interact with shooters on the old site.   You could look around, and wait for some Bullseye-L posting saying there's something new to see.

And I had no means to collect email addresses from folks interested in hearing about the DMW events.   From that humble consideration came the new Desert Midwinter site.

The new site has some cool features.  ANYONE can:

• Browse the Forum
• Read the site News
• Follow our Links
• Peruse the Event Calendar (Phoenix area pistol events)

If you LOG IN, more features appear.   But before you log in, you must REGISTER.  It's a simple process.  Tell us your name, your requested User Name, email and password.

In a few minutes (please be patient), check your email.  When it arrives, select the Activation Link.  Then you can log in using your User Name and Password.   If something goes wrong here, just send me an email.  I can usually fix the problem.

Extra Features after you log in include:

• Posting in the forum
• Additional News items (Articles and Quotables) appear
• Send Private Messages to other members
• Subscribe to Newsletters
• Be notified by Email when articles are posted (News Notifications)
• Add Comments to articles

I'll add "Getting Started" sections for each of the site features.  Check out the Site FAQs page, or follow a link below:

• Getting Started with the Forum
• Getting Started with the Event Calendar
• Getting Started with Private Messaging
• Getting Started with Newsletters and News Notifications
• Getting Started with Comments
• Getting Started with My Profile

Forum Hints

Read the Getting Started with the Forum FAQ if you're new to bulletin board style discussion groups.

Here's a handy link you can make into a bookmark in your browser if you want to go straight to the DMW Forum instead of the site's front page.

If you select "Remember Me" at Login time, you'll save some time logging in to the site.

Once you're on the Forum's main page, select Show Recent Posts to see what's been added since your last visit. Oh, don't forget the Forum Rules.

At the top of the Forum Page, there's a bar that looks something like this:
