Sorry Doug,
I tried your instruction on how to get there but after finding
the THP page I saw no "change server" in the top right or any where
on the page.  Perhaps a direct link would help or maybe I need to
join THP to see it.  I'm a member of FB bit not THP.  I'd be glad to check it out with my 64 bit Karmic, Jaunty or whatever if I could find the change server thingy.
