Title: Posting in our new home
Post by: DeadBishop on May 07, 2008, 09:54:14 AM
I will be working on arranging this new forum when I have the time, so that we have a bit more organization.  For the time, I would like everyone to post under "General Discussion" until I can make more categories.  The "Life Raft" area will be for site specific updates and news.

Update;

I've added a few new areas to keep things from getting mixed up and lost.  I will continue to expand the specific areas as time allows.

I think this forum hates me, I tried to post and it says my last post was more than 60 seconds ago and to try again so I do and it says it's already posted and then it doesn't show up.

I had a post but I eated it   :-X

Interesting....I'm going to have to keep an eye on things like this.  Being a new environment, I have no idea what could possibly go wrong in this new forum.  From my understanding it's supposed to be pretty stable, but there ya go...

Same thing happened to me when I tried to post in the sewing forum. When I tried to repost, it said I had already posted. When I looked, my post wasn't there.  ???

I get the error regardign the last post was 60 secs ago IF the forums don't allow a post, like when I first signed up, before I activated the link, and it seems if I try to post from home. It seems my ID is linked to my work IP and I can only post, reply or work with my PM's from here. If I try to post at home, the system will log me in, let me see all my stuff but not allow me to post at all.

Hope this helps.

That can be related to a cookie error. You may want to toss your cookies :D and get fresh ones!

That's just a guess but it can't hurt.

There is a posting restriction to keep people from spamming the site.  You can only post every 60 seconds.

This is normal in most forums and I totally support it. I know our group probably would not be jerks but its so nice to have something to prevent these problems.

So DB with John's post I am guessing this is no longer a the life raft, shes our new ship. I was just bringing this up because its not really our temporary home anymore. I know thats already been posted.

True.  I'll modify the header so it's more up to date.

I've had the same thing happen several times, usually on my first post of the day!

WOW I'm gone for several months and the whole place changes. My account wasn't here, no more stars, and no more cool title. It's weird but kinda cool.

Thanks guys

Sorry to bump this, how old was the other forum?  Just trying to learn the history here.

The original site came about in 2002, and went through several facelifts over the last couple years.  It existed in it's previous form for six years before being completely destroyed by hackers.  This new site became active at the end of April this year when it looked like there was no way to save the old site.

I'm sorry to hear that.  At least its back up.  I do hope this forum is more stable, and more secure.

We can hope, but only time will tell.
