If you are having issues browsing the forum and you are using internet explorer, please ensure that your browser is up to date. Internet explorer 7 has had many issues with websites and CSS (which this forum uses a lot of) and the problems were addressed with windows update when it updated people in IE8 ... You need to ensure you are using the latest browser. There are 2 options to ensure you have the latest version. Option 1. Run your windows updates as this will update your internet explorer anyway. To be honest you should do this anyways as you can open yourself up to security problems on your PC if you are not doing so. Option 2. Down…

Forum - final move OK the time has come for the big move of the forum. First of all I was considering giving it a little more time and waiting maybe to mid next week, however I feel we are only postponing the enevitable and the quicker we move over, the quicker we can sort any issues we hit and since its a weekend I will have the time to spend on sorting them. Moving forum software will be a big change for many (obviously unless you are a member of a site with the same software). I ask you to bare with me and I will address any problems you might have. Most of these are likely to simply be a case of pointing people in the right direction, …

OK Guys, I have done a test conversion on the forum so you will find in the development forums that it is all up to date as of around 5pm tonight. You can log in with your usual username and password. Bare in mind any posts you make over there will be removed once the final conversion is done, as I will be again replicating the current forums data. However I encourage you to log in, do some posts, have a play around. Not saying everything will be perfect at present. Some permissions etc may be a little out of wack, however its pretty much there and I'm looking at making this a perminant move very soon (possibly even as soon as tomorrow). www.hus…

Forum upgrade - Sneak Preview OK guys n Gals. I thought I would be nice and give you a sneak preview of the new forum. Before I give you the link to this please bare in mind THE NEW FORUM IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT meaning that although it is starting to take shape slowly, you will see a lot of areas that do not quite look right and need a lot of work. I'm guessing on roughly 2 weeks before we will be able to make the final move over, maybe a little more. All the users, posts etc have not yet been moved over to the new forum so you will not have an account over their at present. This said however, you can register and have a play with it sh…

Opinions needed - Big forum change Hi All, I need our members help as I find myself in a bit of a dilemma and Im not sure what to do about it. Please read this whole post before making your reply as your opinions are important as at the end of the day, its your forum it will effect. BASIC OVERVIEW Earlier this year I posted to let you guys know that there would be eventually a very big change to the forum software. We currently run a piece of software called VBulletin which is the basis behind what the forum is built. Up until now there has never really been a product that can complete with VBulletin, however now there is.…

Donation reward Hi All, Have been thinking on this donation stuff. There are a lot of people who have donated on the forum over the past year and I would like to give something back to you all. So, although the forum style I would like to keep to the customised design we have currently for the main theme, I will be showing all the donated users a list of new styles that can be added to the forum. Each donated user will be allowed to choose one of these that he/she will be able to select to view the forum as once we have switched over to the new forums. Regards, Marc - Your techy forum administrator

banned user A member has been banned today due to use of obscene language, abusing another member and arguing with admin. Can I remind everyone that whilst swearing is allowed in moderation, it is not tollerated when it is blatantly abusing another member on here. This is and will stay a friendly forum where people can ask any questions they wish. This thread is not open for discussion hence why it is closed, i just wanted to make you all aware and make the above points perfectly clear. Regards Sarah

Donation Link Hi All, Linda mentioned earlier tonight that she could not see the donation link, which is something that people have mentioned before. Now as the sidebar is somewhat hidden on smaller monitors I put it down to this, however on looking at it earlier tonight it would seem it was completely invisible to some users lol ... Anyways, this has now been fixed and is now in the right hand sidebar...

Live at Camp Husky OK, I have had abit of a test of something people were chatting about in the chatroom. I have now setup a video feed from Sarah's laptop webcam to the site. You can find this link on the portal under "husky Cam" in the links, or alternativly it is on this link http://www.husky-owners.com/index.php?pageid=featured2 . Now bare in mind, we have no idea wether we will have a fast enough connection, whether we can keep the laptops power on, or in fact whether the link will work on any other net connection as I have had very little time to set it up, but its there, so keep your eye out, especially at night when we having a drink. …

Spam user prevention In a bid to prevent problems from further spamming users and ensure that we can pick up on them even faster than we can do so already I've now added the following automated rules to the forum. When a member registers, he/she is put in the registered members usergroup. Users of this group are promoted to registered users+ automatically (within 10 mins of posting) once they have done a single post. All permissions for this group are as they are at the moment for everyone. The registered users group (anyone with no posts) will have no access to the members listing, people profiles, and will only be able to store a maxi…

Memorial Garden Hi all, I had a new idea the other week with the passing of Mya. I am going to introduce a new page on the site called the Memorial Garden. Memorial Garden This will be a place where all huskies who have passed can be placed in one picture, probably a garden (hence the name). I will be cutting the pictures and placing them onto a background similar to how I have done so in the banner above the forum currently. What do I need? All I will need is a photo of the husky who has passed away and their name. Please note that the best photos for cutting are those that are quite set out from the background…

It has been pointed out that members who post to a thread are automatically subscribed to it and many of you may have recieved ALOT of emails just recently notifying you about new posts, on that particular thread.

Re-arranged Look Hi Peeps, As some of you may have noticed I have done some re-arranging of the main site. Some of the forums which were once merged now warrent being split up again such as the help, and suggestions sections and we have some brand new areas on the forum. Although we are not strictly for working and showing, I have added a section for discussion of these as I'm aware there are a fair few of you that will be attending the rallies coming up later this year. I have added a discussion area for TV and Movies, a place to discuss your photos, and generally moved bits about, renamed things and the likes. Anyways, I hope you like the chan…
