I am absolutely rubbish at keeping secrets and waiting to see what people think of something, so here goes.

I spent the last week working on incorporating a messageboard into the website

www.ouchtoo.org

and it has turned out even better than I expected because it allows for so many more things to be done than we are able to here on Aimoo.

The list includes:

Members are able to report posts to moderators in the same way they were on the old BBC site.

Smilies are labelled with words describing what they are and not just numbers.

Pictures are uploaded as attachments and show as thumbnails until you click on them to make the image bigger. This means faster loading thread and less need to reduce the size of the image before you add it to a post.

I have been able to put this messageboard in place so it is directly accessible on the www.OuchToo.org link and this means it is more easliy found,stands alone and not under the main head head of Aimoo.

Here we are using Go Daddy hosting which is based in the USA. This means we have more storage space and unlimited bandwith so the messageboard should run more smoothly without almost grinding to a halt the way Aimoo does.

We have better moderating tools including a warning system that can be set to automatically put a member on premoderation after they have recieved a set amount of warnings.

See the message board itself for further information.

Kizzy, Hossy (when she has more free time) and I are still getting a handle on things. In order to learn more I need people from here to join the new site so we can check how things work and that the site can handle the load okay.

Please smiley90

I am not going to close this site but I do need to make a decision on whether or not to buy a years worth of unlimited hosting for OuchToo.org. It should be about £120 and so it is cheaper than running Ouch Too Aimoo and it is ours in a way I dont think this Aimoo site can be.

So please come over an join click here and spend some time seeing how things can be done.

Once I know that people are going to be on Ouch Too. org I will start copying thread over from here to there.

I am a bit scared you wont like it or people are going to be upset but if I dont try I will never know.

(btw the font appears smaller but can be enlarged using the control and - or + keys)

night.

~happy dance ~ the restore worked. There was no reason it wouldn't but it was the first time I have used that part of the software.

Now to back up the rest and I can put a big tick in my done list.

Talking of things to do there are still some people who have not joined the new site.

I hope it is on your to do list if you have not done it yet.

Could you try something like 'wheelydad1' or 'wheelydad2011'? We wouldn't want to lose you (or any other member) due to username difficulties!

Did it flash up a reason at you for not accepting your username?

Wheelydad,

I am sorry that you were not able to join the new board yet.

I checked and the name is available - please see the screenshot there is a tick to the right of the name.

Could you please try again and if it still does not work I could try myself. Just confirm it is okay for me to do that and tell me which email address to use. You can change the password once you are in.

Hmm I cant get the screen shot to show here so I put it elsewhere here is the link.

I still can't get in to the new site. Thank you all for your advice and help, but it's late now and I'm tired, and going to bed. I may try again soon.

Good night

Can I just ask - on this site that you have developed, sunshine, will we be able to see, or get to, posts that we have made in the past. That is one thing that I miss on here that was good on the BBC site.

There you could go back to discussions you were having a few days/weeks ago really easily. On here you have to search all the posts. So threads have been much shorter, and also I have wanted to add something to a thread that has suddenly popped into my brain, but have no idea what the title of the thread is. In 'my profile' the list of threads is far too short.

Thank you.

Sunshine, is there any way that you can set it so that users get an e-mail when their registration request is approved? I had no idea mine had been until I tried to log in today. I generally like confirmation e-mails when I register for new message boards anyway and I didn't get any from the new board. For me it's a matter of knowing what boards I'm registered with and gives me a heads up if someone else uses my e-mail address for something! (Which happens frighteningly often)

Hi,
Morning,
There is an option to accept and send the new member an email, and that is what we have been doing. Unfortunately a few members have not recieved their acceptance email and I can't be sure why this is. However if you have a Junk Mail or Spam Folder it is most likely in there.

I've just joined, as AndMac, I thought about going back to And, the name I use on many other fora, but I was worried that it might have confused some.

I am glad you used AndMac because just And might have confused me.

I hope you enjoy the new board.

Trying to register, but I am told re SirCumference "The username does not exist".

Am I being ethnically cleansed?

What shall I do?

SirCumference,

It is good to read you are making your way across :-)

It sounds like that is a message that would come up when you are trying to Log in without an account not when you are registering.

There are screenshots on this thread just click the thumbnails to get bigger pictures.

If you get stuck give me a shout and I will help out.

I don't know why but I've registered. Thank God there will be no more PMs. The perverts who have been harassing me here were too much. Every time I came online I was swamped by adoring fans, dropouts, etc.

I shall have to lie down now, probably a good idea as itis almost midnight.

Goodnight, all.
