Thank You.

Conditional popups in Drupal
I want to create popups that invite visitors to sign up for an email list when they click on a specific type of link (node type). I need it to stop appearing once they have signed up. I do not know how to do this in Drupal.
I am using the Open Outreach distribution, which includes RedHen CRM. I found a module to create popups (Popup), but am not sure how to get it to interact with my CRM.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Read moreUnable to change author name on comment
In moving a website to Drupal &, we hired someone to copy & paste comments into the new site. Unfortunately, all names were left off, resulting in all comments being authored by "anonymous". When I try to edit the name, I get the error message, "You have to specify a valid author."
Is there a way to circumvent this restriction temporarily? I have over 700 comments to correct.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

TCDrupal Quarterly Coordinating Committee
Our quarterly coordinating committee was scheduled for tomorrow night. However, given the following circumstances, I'd like to propose we postpone this meeting until January.
1) I completely fell down on the job and failed to provide adequate notification/reminders of this meeting.
2) I know that neither Drew Gorton or Barry Madore will be able to attend, both of whom have an interest in our primary agenda item - I'm unsure of who else will be able or unable to attend.
Created/edited nodes no longer save content to fields
After a recent failed attempt to update Drupal core & Open Outreach, I took my site back to a backup version with the help of tech support folks at my hosting service. The rollback would not work, and the tech assisting me said that there were a lot of permissions that needed fixing. So he tried to fix them.

I may have accidentally started a rumor that the next TC Drupal Coordinating Committee would be prior to the July happy hour (this Thursday). In reviewing my notes, I now see that it would normally be scheduled for the first Thursday in August. HOWEVER, the first Thursday in August is opening night of TC Drupal Camp - so, I can be pretty sure that it will not happen then.
Prior TC Drupal Coordinating Committee meetings happened in: November, February, and May.

I am building a new site for an existing web radio program. The old site is homemade, and each episode has a unique identifier in the URL, for example:
http://northernspiritradio.org/index.asp?command=showinfo&showid=628645279260
The "showid" at the end is the unique identifier. Though I have not done so yet, I can add this to each corresponding episode.
When we re-point the domain name to the new site, people will keep getting 404 error messages unless I can get Drupal to find the correct episode.

Getting more involved with Drupal
I’m really excited about the global sprint weekend for Drupal this weekend, so I wanted to share how I started to get more involved with Drupal, as well as some great resources that I’ve found helpful.
I started working with Drupal over five years ago now. At the time, I preferred to hand-code HTML and CSS for sites that I built, although I wrote some custom backend code with PHP and, yes, ColdFusion. I’m a team of one in my organization, so front end, back end, UX, information architecture, content strategy, those are all on my plate.
