Apologies for the downtime this afternoon people. Everything should now be back up and running. It seems the datacentre that hosts our server and in fact all of our hosts servers suffered a power falure and therefore literally switched everything off including the support desk at our host.

Gallery is here OK Guys, The gallery you have all been waiting for is now here and you will see the new forum under the General area of the board. There is still a fair amount of work I wish to do on it, however it is of a state where it can be released to you all and used. The zip functionality I am having issues with, however you can now select 20 photos at a time to upload which should make the uploading of images a lot better. SIZE The size of images allowed will remain the same at 1024 x 768 which to give you an idea is around the same size as some desktop wallpapers. They will still need to be resized to this be…

Well as you all know Ive been working on our new Sibecare application.......Unfortunatly Ive been pretty lazy as of late (no comment Sarah lol) so havent got as far as I wanted to have done by now, but wanted to let you know the current status of it. So here goes, so far we can: Add a husky to your profile Add an owner to your profile Add a Vet to your profile These can all be interlinked with each husky as needed. Huskies are now editable via right click menu and can also be deleted if needbe. Deleting a husky is not a perm action and can be undone from the "Oops" menu Main setup screen is almost complete …

Server upgrade Hi All, Just a quickie to let you know that the issues we have been experiencing over the past couple of days are due to us killing the memory on the server with usage LOL .... I have now had the memory increased again so we should see the site run a lot quicker. On this note, I'm gonna have to keep an eye on the memory usage in order to ensure we dont incur any further cost for a while, therefore you may see some things that aut update such as the stats at the top of the forum and the shoutbox dont update quite as often. The times on the stats have now been set to only update once every 2 mins rather than every 20 seconds a…

Hi all, I've been wondering for a few weeks now on whether to bring this discussion to the forum, and since it will affect us all on here then I thought I would do so. The forum is currently built upon a piece of internet software called vbulletin. From time to time we have been closed for 10-15 mins or so whilst I upgrade the version of this software and we have move from 3.7 to 3.71, 3.72 etc etc up to the current version of 3.8.1 (soon to be 3.8.2). I know this doesnt mean a right lot to the majority of you, however keep reading as change coming up in the near future will interest you. All the versions we have been on so far …

Section revived Back by popular demand, I've introduced a "Food and Diet" section under the Husky Discussions section on the main page. Some of you may recall that we had this some time ago but as it was never used, we merged it in with the Health and Training Section. I have moved over threads that i've found to start the ball rolling. Please feel free to use

PM Censoring Due to unfortunate circumstances I have had in the past in other forums had problems with members abusing each other via the private messaging systems. Due to this there is a censoring filter on the PM system. This system flags and logs any private messages that are found to contain words such as c*nt,b*stard, a*sehole, f*ck *ff etc etc etc. This was put in place for the protection of our members, as I will not have people on any of my forums being the subject of abuse from another member and also aids in the removal of pornographic and illegal pornographic material. Unfortunatly I have today been emailed by the system with a…

Marcronix SibeCare - First Glimpse Well, I have just been playin around putting together the main page of the new SibeCare application, so I thought I would post up a pic as a bit of a teaser. Bare in mind it is subject to (and will) change as there are currently no graphics on there (the Marcronix Sibecare text will be a logo for example) and everything needs smoothing out, but hopefully you should get the general idea.

Gallery Donations - We need a better one Yeah yeah its the money thing .... Not posted this up for a good while regarding donations for no other reason than I dont like doing so. The site is a free site for everyone who owns a husky to use and enjoy as many of you do. However the galleries are getting a bit of a mess and struggle to manage when people want to upload a large amount of photos, and there is a solution. Only problem being is the solution costs money. Photopost is an addition that I can add to the forum that costs around 90 for a licence. Purchasing this would mean that the galleries within our profiles would be switched off and replaced …

Hi All, Due to interest from Becky (Austinville) on how the site is doing, I thought I would get a few stats together to show you all on how the site has progressed from day one. We have now been running since the end of october which is only nearly 200 days. It's sometimes hard to grasp this single fact simply due to the activity on here, but we are still a very very new site with a lot of growing room. We are fast on our way to becoming one of the bigger forces in husky forums on the internet, and to illustrate the fact think on the following. I will use FORUM1 and FORUM2 as an example. I'm not going to mention forum names although I'm sure if…

(Now Back Online) Site will be offline!! Hi Guys, Tomorrow (06/05/09) we will be offline at some point for up to a couple of hours. This is because the site is being moved by our host to another server where we will have more dedicated resources for our site as we are currently getting close to our limits on space and bandwidth usage. All being well we will be back up and running with no issues to the forum whatsoever. The guys who are moving us are very experienced with the forum software and one of them has been temporaryly set up as an administrator for the move to ensure everything goes smoothly, so dont worry if you see s…

Site Statistics As your all probably aware, us admin can see quite a few stats about the site from areas which you cannot see. SO, I thought it would be nice if you could see some of the statistics on the forums for yourself. If you have a look under the quicklinks menu, you will now find that there is a 'Site statistics' link ... From there you will eb able to find out various information about the site and its members including where people are from, what browsers they use, which forums are the most active etc etc ..... Simply click the link, and change what you want to look at from one of the options you can see at the bottom of the page.. …
