Hi Guys, The newsletter has now been visible for our site sponsors for a sneak preview for the past couple of week, however I have now made it visible for all members. You can find the newsletter in the navigation bar above (if your not logged in you wont be able to see it). Unlike the older style of emailing newsletters out we now have a brand new (and evolving lol) format for you guys. You can now comment on any of the articles and its more of a magazine than a newsletter Thankyou to all the husky owners media group for putting this together.

Hi Guys, Just to let you know there will be some downtime later this afternoon whilst I upgrade the software to the newly released "Release Candidate" of xenforo 1.1. Release Candidate basically means they have gone through all the test versions of the software and as far as they are concerned, worked out all the bugs. The RC version is simply to ensure that is the case and that there is nothing showstopping that remains. If that is the case then it will become the finalised version. NOW UPDATED

Hi All, Had a request from Val to add some way of sorting the camping sections out a little better as it seems to be getting a little difficult to sort through them and see what is what. So in order to make them a little more organised I have done the following. Sections renamed First of all I have renamed the sections so you will now find they are a lot more generic. Seems a strange thing to do when we are trying to organise, but keep reading as all will become clear. Annual Husky Camps 2011/2012 (2 forums) - Only the major annual camps topics are placed in here. Camping - Other - Any smaller camps can be posted here, …

Hi Guys, I wanna publically wanna invite someone to our UK April camp who is a member of our site, but someone who a lot of people on other sites would think is unusual to invite. WHY? I wanna invite the owner of another husky forum. So, I wanna personally invite Nigel the owner of Sibespace to our UK husky camp. I hope he doesnt mind me sayin, but the guy has had an absolutly shite year this year, and something that could have resulted in sibespace being closed down for good. Now I know I would be absolutly devistated if I had to close this place which shows the amount of stress he has been under.# Now Nigel is thinkin about it ......... Has a …

This time 12 months ago, I was playing with my fur ball Kimba, trying to teach him new tricks Marc was engrossed in some forum on the computer as always, and I was fed up of talking to the back of his head lol. So I asked if he could build me a forum for husky owners, the seed was planted and husky-owners was born. We went live on 28th October 2008 and have grown so much in such a short space of time. We wanted a place where members could meet up every once in a while and share our experiences of our beloved Sibes, but now, I sit back and think, we have so much more we have helped to re home huskies and given help and advice to countless members on a wide range o…

Ok guys have a look at this picture It has been kindly donated to us by @sutsibe to put money towards the cost of flying a member from oversea's to next years big camp in April. shipping would be rather expensive so going to start the bid at £30 if anyone would like to make an offer? The picture shows 90 years of Siberian Husky history, with some of the most famous dogs and people in the earlier history of the breed in the US... it comes with a cheat sheet showing who each one is as well along with the frame. @Sutsibe feel free to add any extra info on here Right guys - start bidding!

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE ON THE FORUM. WELCOME TO THE 500,000th POST We have now hit a massive milestone of half a million (500,000) posts on the forum to date, and just before our 3rd birthday on the forum. For those of you who are not aware, this makes our forum officially a Big Board.. Not just in our genre, but for bulletin boards in general. So, I thought for the event I would post up a bit of a timeline of bits that have gone on throughout the forums short history on the internet. 28/10/2008 - Husky Owners was first switched online. 12/12/2008 - The forum was integrated with facebook via an application, which is wh…

Ever asked yourself that very question? Now you will never have to do that again. I have added a bookmark system to the forum which will allow you to bookmark a post in your profile by using the button in the bottom right of a post. By clicking on your username in the top right, you will notice a new bookmarks menu item, which will then take you to your bookmarks. as in the image below If you click on the edit button you can add your own notes to it which will make it even easier to find within your bookmarks, and also you can make then public by clicking on the button provided which will then show that bookmark wit…

I recieved a conversation message today from @riot chaos demon anarchy (Pete) regarding the possibility of setting up a new forum for other smaller camps that may be happening throughout the year, a couple of which happened over this year already. Now personally, I thought this was a good idea so I have done so ....... Ish LOL I have set up a new "Other Camps" forum however I have also set up a completely new category on the forum dedicated to camping so that the main husky owner camps are both more visible on the main forum, as to newer members they can be at times difficult for them to find. Please note I may still be playing about with that sectio…

Hi Guys, As you already know the 250+ postcount to see the rehome section does occasionally cause a problem. That problem being that if you have not posted over 250 and need to rehome your husky then you would not be able to post in there unless we give you access to the section manually, or someone else posts it for you. This problem has now been fixed. From now on, the users who have posted over 500 will be able to see the whole section as always. However people who have not yet reached this level will be able to create new topics in there and see their own topics, but will not be able to see anyone elses. Anyone who had previously been …

Hi Guys, We added the rehome section on to the forum so that members who are struggling and have to rehome their husky for whatever reason have a place to do so. However please bare in mind that we are not a rehome center or an advertising board, and therefore sibes being posted in other places we do not want posting on here. Todays example was from preloved, but I think preloved have more than enough advertising space of their own. Remember what this place is here for. Its for people who love their sibes to get to know others who also love their sibes. Nothing more. This is what the place stands for and what even the name of the place represents. …

Hi Guys, Just a quick note to let you know of some issues that I am aware of on the forum. Membermap is not available 24hr posters not available Tapatalk not available Having some serious issues with the above at the moment. The membermap I am hoping to get back fairly soon, the tapatalk I am awaiting an update for it so unfortunatly there isnt much I can do with that until it comes out. The 24 Hour posters is what has been killing the forum a few times today, so that has gone for the forseable until I have time to completely rewrite it myself. Something Ive been meaning to do for a while tbh.

Hi Guys, I know there are a fair few of you that use tapatalk constantly. When I activated it on the forum there was a choice between tapatalk and another called forumrunner. Now since tapatalk is inactive for the time being I have also installed forumrunner which you will be able to find in your app store/marketplace etc. I will keep both tapatalk and forumrunner up to the latest versions, so if you decide to go for forumrunner dont worry it dont dissapear once tapatalk is working again. The only thing I have found not to be working on forumrunner on beta3 is the photo uploading, however they do seem to have a much more active development…

Hi Guys, Sorry for the downtime we have had today. Seemed to be a problem with the database which has now hopefully been resolved. There have been a lot of updates applied to the server itself, and the forum has now been updated to xenforo beta 3 which contains a lot of bug fixes from the previous. Hopefully things should be running smoothly again for a while Enjoy

No doubt some of you will have already noticed some of the feature additions and changes by now, however I am going to run through them here so you all know. Im guessing that a lot of you will have already noticed that there are alerts that are occasionally popping up in the bottom right similar to the below These will pop up when you have an alert and you have interacted with a forum function that refreshes part of a page (or for you fellow geeks, any ajax function). So if you reply to a topic, click like, update your status etc etc and you get an alert then you will see this alert box. Various places on the forum you will see…

Hi Guys, Just a quick post to let you all know that the forum will be offline for a while shortly due to an upgrade to the base forum software. Dont worry, no massive changes or anything like that. However you will notice a few additions to the feature set which I will be doing some posts on after the upgrade. WARNING The version I am updating the forum to is still in beta (testing) stage, so if you find any bugs please report them as normal and I will address them with the xenforo team as soon as possible and get them sorted. I am updating at this stage as it would seem looking at the open issues there is very little to stop us from doing so, a…
