Thought I would do a reposting of this as so much has happened since we opened husky owners originally and so many people have joined that will not know how we started. Something that I found out earlier when someone asked me. STORY OF HUSKY OWNERS In late 2008 me and my wife Sarah decided that we would have a husky (more my wife than me lol) as an addition to our family home. Because of this Sarah started joining groups on the popular website facebook and spoken to quite a few other owners around the country. This then sparked off an idea. I have been running websites, and more so forums for quite a few years and do so as a hobby. I ha…

Hi all A further addition has been added to the forum! (We like keeping you on your toes ) All Site Sponsors can now request a subsection within the Site Sponsors Diary Forum, one each per site sponsor. Subforum's can be used for anything you like (but must still adhere to forum rules) so you could use it for: Posting your Pictures so you can easily find them Timeline Dog Diary / Blog Only the Site Sponsor can create a thread in their section. However......members can reply to this thread much like a normal thread. So, why create a new section then if it's just like a thread? …

Hi guys, Just to let you know I am doing a lot of server optimisation lately as there have been a few lockups here and there usually leading to double posts and the likes. I have applied a lot of them in the past few hours so hopefully you should see a difference. However will let you know that if you see a white screen when you refresh, or get a server timeout, a 500 server error etc etc etc and you know that I am online, it if likely that it is me whilst I am optimising tables. Reality is I either do it that way or I take the server offline whilst I do it. This said however the server will be offline for about an hour tomorrow. This is whil…

OK guys, Dave messaged me and Jos earlier regarding whether we would be able to do group tagging on the forum. Now we have been asked this a few times and not really looked into it. However Jos came up with an idea earlier tonight and I have just coded it in (Cheers Jos, excellent idea of how to go about it). So you can now tag the words Staff, Tech, and Media for Staff, Tech (me and Jos) and the media group. Staff Tech Media

When typing the @ symbol and a few characters from the user you want to tag, you will be given a suggestion list which will appear just underneith the post window.

Hi Guys, Appologies for the downtime today, however I did warn it was coming LOL. The domain has now been moved to its perminant host, and I have also now moved the site to a new server where I hope it will be a lot faster for our users. However if there are any problems please let me know. This has been an extremely large move with the size of forum we are now running so would not be supprised at all if Ive missed anything. Enjoy.

Hi guys, You will have seen my previous email stating there may be some downtime whilst there is work being done on the domain. Well, just to let you know there is a high possibility of this being today, and if not it will almost certainly be tomorrow. Just a bit more info for you guys who do know about domains. Our domain is being transferred and therefore the nameservers are being reset. Currently the domain is also the name server so that name server will require changing. So basically the downtime is going to be highly dependant on how long it takes for me to get the domain pointing back to our site on the server here.

Hi Guys, We all know the situation regarding fundraising and what happened with Leah (shadowpups) on the forum. Well today it has ended up with Husky Owners being slated around the net on other forums due to the actions of what she has done. Leah has now been banned from the forum perminantly. I should not have to defend our forum due to the actions of another that were completely wrong in the first place.

First off a bit of background on today. I work 8.30-5.00 - i get a call this afternoon whilst at work advising of a very heated topic on here which I log on and remove. I message all the staff to advise them I was taking this personally and would deal with it once I got home. I got home at 6pm, I left home at 6.15 to drive for nearly an hour to pick up a rescue dog to transport it to a new foster home. After this I drive to another home and do a home check for someone who would like to foster for a rescue. I've had no tea, i get home at 10.30 tonight and all hell has broken loose on here! To say i'm tired, angry and upset is an un…

Hi all I would like to apologize for the forum downtime today. I was at work and was notified of bitching cross posted between here and facebook, wires were crossed etc etc. I couldn't get on to deal with it or read it, so I closed the forum down as I can't do anything about FB although if they made me an admin .... mwahaha Things have been resolved and i'm now off to bed as I feel like death warmed up This has caused arguments between myself and Marc and other staff. Please think about what you post before clicking reply it's not just the OP you can upset. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and has a …

Hi Guys, You will be happy to know that I have been doing a rewrite of the modification on the forum we had to previously remove, which showed the top posters in the last 24 hours. This is now back online and should no longer kill the forum as it was doing before. Enjoy

Hi Guys, UPDATE NOW DONE Quick message to let you all know that the forum will be down for around an hour at some point tomorrow night. After what have been very successful beta versions that we have run on the forum of xenforo 1.1 the final release has now been announced and will be applied to the forum. Many of you will have seen almost an update a week over the past few months. This should begin to calm down a little now this has been released.
