Common courtesy 1 2
by Marc- 44 replies
- 2.4k views
Hi peeps, It has come to my attention today that people have been asked for other members telephone numbers on the forum and have been given them without a second thought. Please can I ask that people have the common courtesy of not giving another member someones number without the permission of the person who's number it is. I have personally given my own number to people on the forum and I'm sure some of you find it handy for me to be contactable when I am needed, however if I see this has happened again my own number will be changing and I will only be contactable via the forum.

Hi all, You will notice that there is a new fund raising section of the forum. Please ensure that all fund raising events are posted within this area from now on. This section has been set up as with the forums current size, and the fact that we are still growing, we feel that it is best for us to moderate the fund raing events that we allow to be associated with the website and its name. As you will all know there are many events that are going on within the forum at present and we need to ensure that the sites best interests are kept at forefront for its members. Please do not be too upset if your post is not accepted into this section. At the…

Hi All, Have just been reading through the shoutbox and have to admit it has left me a little downbeat about the forum as a whole. I have in no uncertain terms absolutly worked my arse off to get this place to the state that it is now, and as it stands at the moment all I am hearing is that people cant do this, people cant do that, people are missing this, people are getting this and that messages. I specifically set up a new section for this reason, and posted up an announcement to say that the section is there. If you do not post in that section and dont know what is going on, then you have nobody to blame but yourself if you either a) Dont get them fixe…

Hi Guys, I have just put live a VERY EARLY version of the new member map we will be using. Please bare in mind that it will take a while before it is up to scratch and things will be changing on it on a regular basis at the moment. To add yourself to the member map if you are not already on it, you need to add your location into your user profile. IF YOU WERE ALREADY ON THE OLD ONE, YOU ARE ALREADY THERE. To ensure your added to the membermap correctly, here are a few examples of what you should enter into the location field within "YourNameAtTopRight>Personal Details": Norden,Rochdale,UK Weston,FL,USA You can of c…

The following have changed since moving over to the new forum software: Usernames You can no longer comment on someone's status The Custom profile fields eg number of huskies etc have now gone - they will come back in the future but Marc has to specifically write this in. Any other items you see are missing will be coming back however the above won't be changed. With regards to your username - i'm going to do a separate topic on this now.

OK guys, so I promised you some good features and here is the first one. Unfortunatly I dont have time to do a video at the moment however I will be doing one later on today. But for now here is a few screenshots as a taster. Permissions to access the system will be sorted shortly. EVENTS SYSTEM So first of all you will see a calender view like below. You will notice that there is also a weekly view and a view of upcoming events amoungst others. Please disregard the bit about streams as this will be getting removed. So clicking on the post new event will give you a screen similar to the post new thread screen, but with a few mo…

So for those of you who havent been on the forum since its beginning, I think you will fine this interesting. For those who have, you'll probably fine it scary how much you forget LOL HUSKY OWNER - VERSION 1 Didnt stay like this for very long before I decided we needed our own identity, so started writing a new skin for vbulletin. This lasted a while, however as the forum grew I decided that it needed something more professional. At the time this wasnt something that I could do myself, and so opted to purchase a designed skin and then give it a colourset that we would stick to. Vbulletin softw…

Signatures
by Marc- 0 replies
- 476 views
Hi All, Something you will notice shortly on the forum is that signatures are occasionally not appearing. This behaviour is intentional. What I have done is to ensure that a signature only appears once within a given page for a given user. SO for example I post in this topic and my signature would appear, however the next time I posted in this topic again and it appears on the same page it would not and all subsiquent times. This has been done so as to improve the browsing experience for people who are using dongles and mobile devices on the forum, as it will greatly improve the load time due to reducing the images needed to be downloaded onto t…

BIG FORUM MOVE 1 2 3
by Marc- 62 replies

Hi Peeps, Some of you will have seen that I have been dropping the occasional hint around the forums that there something big coming to www.husky-owners.com . So here is the announcement that will tell you everything you need to know. Obviously most of you will have seen by now the results of the poll regarding the gallery. Now this post went up because of the possibility of moving to a very new forum software however one that has not as of yet got a gallery available for it. THE MASSIVE bonus however is that the posting of images into topics themselves are done in a way that is extremely simple and shows in exactly the way we want them to show up. To me and man…

Hi People, Just a quick message as I noticed people are still uploading images to the gallery. Please bare in mind that all links to the gallery will be severed and the gallery will not exist after Friday of this week. I would suggest that instead of uploading them in the gallery, you add them as an attachment in the pictures forum as this will be the way to do it in the future (albeit a lot easier in the new software). Also just to point out I have made it so that we can keep the images banner across the top of the forum, and they will be taken from "attached" pictures within that section of the forum as shown below.

Member Map updates 1 2
by Marc- 27 replies
- 1.4k views
Just to let people know I have now updated the member map. Icons are now grouped when shown at a higher level with a number indicating how many markers are placed within that group. Should make it a lot easier to see how many people are in which areas. I have also just added St Helens Dog Park and Burrs Park to the member map, alone with the postcodes to each. If there are any others you would like adding so that people know where they are, please PM me the details. Bare in mind I will need the postcode if in the uk. If in the US please give me the street name and State Abbreviation and I should be able to locate on the map from this. Cheers.

Following on from the thread no doubt you have all read with some sadness, I just want to clarify a few things. Now I don't often post things like this, so please appreciate what i am putting below is not being bossy or whatever, it's coming from my heart. When I set this forum up in 2008, my sole intention was to have it as an extension of me. I wanted somewhere that would reflect how i feel about the breed and also how i am as a person. I think people that have joined here as a whole have taken that extension to themselves, 99.9% of the time people are polite, courteous and really helpful. The 0.01% of the time that something out of the ordinary happens and e…

As you know over the past few week we had some issues with the server being to handle us This resulted in quite a large upgrade for us and resulted in us having to move to a dedicated server for husky owners. Due to this we have had to put quite a bit of advertising around the site and there will be more to come. So here comes the announcement. As from now there will be a new part to husky owners that is done on many sites, however we have not yet touched. This is the ability to subscribe to the site in return for some added benefits that you may enjoy. FORUM SPONSORS You will shortly notice that a few of our members become forum sponsor…
