    So Sorry to hear of his passing :(

    We did meet up with him and his wife in September 2015, when he drove down to Orlando to meet us.

    A lovely couple, and I know he will be greatly missed on here.

    RIP Mudgie

    Straight change of server, is done by the gaining host, no problem once the address propagates to all DNS servers.

    Its changing the language that is the problem.

    Joomla is just one language of many.

    You should be able to get into the Server admin panel, re Joomla and others

    So sorry to hear of Ashley's passing. Very sad.

    I met him a couple of times, I think, the last time was at Bab's do at The White Hart.

    Ashley lived at RoT, and used The Manvers.

    Now reunited with his wife Asabelle

  11. Photobucket.

    All images should be left on Photobucket but they can be backed up locally for each account holder.

    This will effect thousands of websites, not just ours. 

     

    Nothing yet on Invisionpower support forums, that will change.

     

    It need a script writing to check every post for a photobucket image link.

    Direct download a copy and upload to new hosting location. Then rewrite the post with new image URL.

     

    It wont be an easy problem to solve, if it can be done.

    Well, perhaps the membership ought to know whether or not the offending member has been banned or not. 

    No names required, and just lets hope that justice and common sense has prevailed. 

     

    This particular member will not be returning to this forum. We have probably lost a much more valuable member.

  20. DUPLICATE ACCOUNTS!

    in Questions about use of Forums?

    Posted

    This post was made as a result of a Nottstalgia staff member receiving a direct threat via their Facebook account.

    There is no need to name the person, they will know who they are, as will those who it does not apply to.

    Moderators here are volunteers and should not expect to receive threats.

    I therefore checked that members account and found other duplicate accounts,

     

    What is most concerning is that the threat was made via the Moderators facebook account so that person had gone to the trouble of finding out the mods name. I note that the moderator is no longer with us, and I cant really blame them

     

    We had this problem before with multiple disruptive accounts, it wont happen again.

    Staff here have spent hours sorting out problems with petty squabbles, who can blame them for getting pissed off and throwing in the towel.

     

    Nottstalgia is a discussion board to discuss Notts History, posts to that effect are welcome.

    There are now less moderators here to ensure that this is the case.

     

     

  22. DUPLICATE ACCOUNTS!

    in Questions about use of Forums?

    Posted

    I am aware that duplicate accounts have been created by one member.

    This breaches the conditions of this board.

     

    There are members who have difficulty with registration but from what I see this is not always the case.

    Where duplicate accounts are found, I will be deleting ALL accounts irrespective of postcount.

     

    If you think you may have more than one account please contact a staff member to remove or merge accounts.
