Testers welcome

Oooh - that's a terrible pun. I'm hoping that Ellie will have some photos that can replace those "placeholders" at some point.

Hi Aidan,

What will
Happen to all the forum posts from the old website? As there were some ongoing discussions on there.

Thanks

Sam

All gone - the forums on the old site and new site are in completely different formats. It would take more time that I'm willing to spend on it to copy forward the old posts so it was agreed when we were discussing the new website that old posts would be lost.

However, I can guess the particular old site forum post you are interested in so I've copied that one forward to this new site manually.

I can do this for a few other old forum posts if requested but please keep the requests to a minimum as it is manual so somewhat time consuming.

Cheers

Aidan

Very nice job Aidan - like it!

Thanks John - appreciated.

At the time of writing I can see that 57 people have managed to successfully logon to the new site recently which is good news given that it has only been "live" for a couple of days. Shows that it seems to be basically working...

If anyone is having problems please do get in contact via www.starcrossyc.org.uk/contacts/25-syc-o...rs/41-aidan-whiteley

Hi Aidan,

Many thanks for the new website. I am however a bit worried for the newsgroup, as not many are using them anymore.... Here a few suggestions.

1) The main entry point to the newsgroups is the page at www.starcrossyc.org.uk/syc-forum , from where one can at a glance see where the latest posts in each NG are, and navigate to the different newsgroups, and choose on which one to post. This address is not clearly linked from the SYC home and SYC members pages (I think that actually the different headlines from the last messages can be confusing, because it becomes nearly impossible to navigate one's own way through the NGs).

2) With the old NGs I had subscribed to a very nice weekly digest, I would receive all new messages in my mailbox and would only log on to reply if I felt a need for it. It was really useful and ensured I wouldn't miss any news. It would be useful if such a service could be reinstated.

3) Is it just me, or the new NGs are very very slow?

Many thanks.

Best regards,

Franco
