Hi Guys, Forum will be going offline for a while tonight (probably in a couple of hours time) whilst I update the software to the latest version (no not the big one LOL). This fixes a few small bugs on the forum and provides some security updates which is always a good thing. Shouldnt take too long to do, I would guess around 1/2 hour at absolute maximum but in reality probably about 10-15

Hi Guys, I know some of you will have seen the text that appears at the top of the forum already over the past month or so regarding site sponsorship, however wanted to post up an announcement to emphasise the importance of what this means for the forum. At present the forum costs a lot of money to run, not only because of the day to day running costs but also because of the amount of features we continue to try and provide for our users and the shear size of the site itself at near a million posts. The reality is that at present the forum is extremely underfunded to the extent that near half of the money required to run the forum comes directly from myself and Sa…

Hey Everyone I have asked if I can stand down from my moderator post as I'm not pulling my weight, my activity on the forum has not been what is needed of a moderator for some time and I can't see that changing for a while unfortunatley. I have enjoyed my time moderating and hopefully I'll be able to give it another go some time in the future. I'm going to make sure I don't go missing off of the forum and will still try my best to get on as much as possible... I love this place and I have been missing the forum and all of you crazy cats. Anyway, short and sweet but a massive thanks to Marc, Sarah, Dunc & the other staff for having me aboard.

Hi Guys, Another poll for you. No commenting on which you have chosen and why please. I would like these are impartial as possible so as to get the right design ideas together. NOTE: This is concept only... Essentially linear or grid is what the question is. Also please note that the information contained in the sections is irrelevant (ie. forum descripts on one and not the other etc) as the content of each would be completely redesigned in any case Example images GRID LAYOUT LINEAR LAYOUT

OK guys, I would like your inspiration and help with something. As you know the site will be upgrading to the latest version of the software at some point over the coming months. This is a major upgrade of the software and a complete rewrite, therefore the skin we currently have will need to be rewritten from scratch also. This clearly gives us, as a site, a chance to improve upon the visual aspects of the forum and ensure that its as nice a place to visit as it can possibly be. So I would like you input on this. Our design rules The currently logo must fit the new design The current colour scheme must be used. This is because we dont want the new site to look …

Hi Guys, Just to let people know, you may well see forums moving about and find yourself looking for bits over the next few hours. This is because I will be moving sections around to try and make the place a little more user friendly and straight forward to know where to post. At present we have a situation where there are forums that can be at times ambiguous, so Im trying to remove that and make it obvious where to post anything.

HI Guys, Gonna be doing a few of these over the coming months as we come up to the point of upgrading to the new version of IPS products for our forum. These are simple polls that sometimes you may not understand why I am asking the question, however they are always asked for good reason and will ensure that the forum becomes more and more useable going into the future. Please dont make any assumptions on the polls such as "Oh no, I cant do without that feature if he's getting rid" etc etc, purely as the chances of you being correct in your assumption is likely to be zero. These asre more about ethe organisation of features rather than the removal of.

Hi All, Just a quick announcement to let you guys know that Elyse is no longer a moderator on the forum due to other commitments.

Elyse you have been a great Mod on the forum for the time you have been one as I have said to you already

Hi All, First of all appologies for the extended downtime over today and on thursday. You will have noticed that there have been quite a lot of errors around the forum lately. The reason for this is that an update to the database server and other componants along with conversion of the database collation (structure for those who are not technical) needed to be done in order to ensure we are ready for some quite large updates to come to the forum over the coming months. The problem was that one of these updates failed at a critical point and basically deleted all databases from all sites on the server completely. To put in context the problem that we had, husky ow…

Hi Guys, Server will be going down shortly for essential maintenance. Last time the server was down because I was sorting out the server ready for a new release, however in the process there were some extremely big issues on the server, hence the occasional error that has been experienced over the past few days. Some of these issues unfortunatly I cannot fix whilst the forum is online so I will have to shut down in order to sort. This will likely be in around 30 mins time.

Hi All, Just a quick note to let you know that the server will be down for essential maintenance at around 19:00 UK time. This is to ensure that we have the relevant prerequisites for a site upgrade that will be coming at some point in the next few months. If you are a sponsor you will no doubt already know about this due to the posts I have been making periodically over a few months now, however for those of you who do not know there is a new major revision of the site core software that will be relased over the coming months which we will eventually upgrade to. This upgrade features many improvements over the current form, making things easier to use, adding m…

Hi All Please be aware a member is contacting anyone they can wanting to advertise the sale of a husky. This then turns to selling husky puppies and then that they are free. They claim to be from Scotland and have extremely bad broken English. Under no circumstances would i recommend you engaging in conversation with this person. If you have any issues please message me The member has been banned and unfortunately can still use the chat feature - Marc is looking into this as I type. I have checked their IP - as they claim they are in Scotland - they are however in Cameroon! Please please do not send money / talk to / interact in anyway with thi…

Hi Guys, As the award thing on the sidebar was not generally as successful as what it used to be it was suggested that we changed it for something completely new on the forum. After some discussion Sarah had an idea for something she would like to see on there as she wanted to know at a glimpse how many posts and topics the top people on the forum were doing. So, you will now see that there is a new section on the sidebar which shows the winners from last month in topic count and post count. Along with this months current top 5 in each. Currently this is including staff, however staff will at some point in the next few days be excluded from the list so just th…

Hi All As you will all know, we have just had Husky Camp 2014. Whilst I was there I was considering a new staff member as we have a few on hand however we all have our own lives and family away from this place and so we don't expect staff to be on here 24/7 so we need a good mix and balance. With the above in mind, I had a chat with a certain member, now I had my own views on this person and how they saw the forum after seeing how they posted and interacted with everyone on here and was overwhelmed with how much this person not only loved, but respected the forum, the way it's run and how it is moving forward. So without further delay, I'd like to welcome …

Hi Guys, Apologies for the downtime we have had over the past 3 hours. Dont know what the problem was, but seems it was a serious one at the datacenter in which the server is located. Not as of yet had any official confirmation that its back online, but everything seems to be working by the looks of it. Thats not to say that its likely to go down as I never had any notification to say they had problems either lol
