It's the little sign on the left hand side that says "Welcome back, Grannyg". Took me forever to realize what they were talking about. LOL

OMG--I saw my name (before I read any of these comments) and just about had a heart attack!

The site was down for awhile just now, right? Wasn't just me, was it?

i've noticed that whenever i go into a member's folder that the headings at the top of the page all scrunch up on the right side. it does it on my home computer and my computer at work. so, i'm thinking it is a page format error. but, i don't know about such things. therefore, i'm just letting you know in case there is something that can be done to fix it.

Someone in the NOC (Network Operations Center) switched a router by mistake causing the board to be inaccessible for a short time this afternoon.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.


Cndeariso: Your comment is the first time I've heard of anything like this happening anywhere on the board. There are no differences in any of the 'member-only' areas of the board, including A Caring Place & Animal Farm, so you should see the same symptoms in those areas also. If that's the case, first please try holding the shift-key and click 'reload' when you see it happen. If that doesn't correct it or you continue to have problems, please let us know with specific details.

Attention!! On Saturday morning, November 5, 2005, the software that runs TVCH will be receiving an upgrade. This is a minor version upgrade and should not present any problems. The upgrade has been tested as much as possible without any problems so we don't anticipate any on the live board. The upgrade will only take a few minutes, but will not be installed until immediately after a full backup has been created just as a precaution.

A notice will be posted here once the upgrade is complete. In the unlikely event that there are any problems that are caused by upgrade, the only feasible recovery will be a full restore of the board from the backup made prior to the upgrade. In that event, anything posted afterward will be lost completely.

We recommend you either not post anything of significance for a few hours after the upgrade, or at least save a copy of the post on your computer so that you may repost it if we have to resort to the backup.

Please let us know either by posting here or an e-mail to moderator@tvclubhouse.com if you think you find any problems on the board.

As of this time, the upgrade process is complete. A full backup was taken prior to this process in case we find any problems with the new version. If anyone thinks there are any problems, please let us know either through posting here or sending us an e-mail to moderator@tvclubhouse.com with as much detail of the problem as you can.

Thank you.

A T T E N T I O N
PM USERS


At this time, and for the past week or so, we are experiencing configuration issues with the server which is preventing Private Messages from getting through to AOL users. If you are using an @aol.com e-mail for your account, you may not receive any Private Messages sent from the TVCH board.

If you have recently sent a Private Message to another member and not received any response or other acknowledgement, you might inquire in their member folder if they are using an AOL account. If so, you should have them contact you directly with their e-mail address for you to correspond with them.

We are working to resolve the issue, however, the 'fix' doesn't look like it is going to be in place anytime soon. If you would like to setup an e-mail at one of the other many online services and change your address, please CLICK HERE TO PM US or contact us at moderator@tvclubhouse.com and request to have your account changed.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Another reminder to everyone that we are still not able to send private messages to anyone using an AOL.COM e-mail address. The messages are being rejected by AOL and returned in an error message to the moderator e-mail account.

If you have recently sent a PM and suspect it was not received, please drop a note to the recipient in their member folder to inquire if they have received your message.

Again, we apologize for this inconvenience and are hoping to have the problem resolved finally very soon.

Thank you to our Mods.

There's some conflict going on among posters on a Susan G. Komen breast cancer message board. It never would have happened here! Our mods would have nipped it in the bud real quick.

That's why I hang around here at TVCH. You know you don't have to put up with nasty nonsense.

We need your help with the size and the amount of graphics that are being posted. While we thoroughly enjoy the pics of your children, pets, and travels, we are being inundated with extreme numbers of large graphics that while they are amusing they tend to make our daily backup of the system quite large. As many of you have seen in the past, these backups are extremely important if our server crashes so that we can recreate the board without losing most of the posts. So we’d like to ask that you limit your graphics to “family” pictures, and birthday, holiday and welcome type greetings as much as possible so that we can continue to insure that the board continues to run smoothly.

Another thing we can do to help is make sure that the images that we post are small and compressed. Take a minute before posting an image to make a copy of the image, crop in on the main subject and then reduce the size of the image and save it under a new name as a medium quality jpg. You can really save a lot of space that way and the image will still look nice and people can still enjoy it.

If anyone needs advice on how to do this, you can post a question and someone will be sure to help out (maybe even me ).

Every image I post, whether it is my image or one I've obtained from the internet - I resize the image to make it a smaller file size. If a file is 40 or 50k, I can usually get it under 30k and many times under 20k by reducing the quality of the image and/or reducing the dimensions of the image. I am a hyper-vigilant uploader.

Bonza, it ain't the size of individual pics so much as it is the sheer volume, ie, the number of pics. Hope that helps. :-)

I started posting in the Fact or Crap thread but the only time I can find it is when it is under "recent active discussions." Where does it go in the meantime? Thank you
