Hi All, As you know, from time to time we change staff around on the site. Some people will be there for longer than others, some step down, some gain other interests, and some simply do not have the time. For us, this is a site that we own, but we do understand that it isn't for someone who has been asked to be staff and there will always come a time when these people simply either do not, or can not do it anymore. You will now notice that the following people are now site sponsors Bluewolf Husky-Gunner Storm Val (Zebedee) As always, I would like to thank each of you for the help you have given us over the years in building the site. Your time as staff has been very …

Site Changes

Have been working on some site changes and fixes to try and get this place back up to scratch. Still a way to go but hopefully going in the right direction. Skin changed to a fixed width rather than fluid. I will however, once I have finished all amendments on the skin add both versions so that people can choose whichever one suits them the best. Removed background image. Dunno why, it just somehow looks cleaner Reduced the shadowing on forums as it was interupting layout Upgraded to latest version to ensure that we have the latest bug fixes Run optimisation on database tables to speed up the reload of some areas on the site that were running quite slow Changed setti…

Just another quick re-addition to the site. If you take look at the top of any topic on the right, there is a new button which you can click which will tell you who viewed the topic.

Hi All, You will now notice that there is a new page on the site called home (look at the links at the top). Also when you visit www.husky-owners.com this is where you will be directed first of all. I have added this to give the site a central hub where you can gain information about what is going on. You will find on there updates of all sorts, along with a streaming live feed of anything that happens on the site at the top (no refresh needed for that area, it updates itself). Hopefully you will find this a little easier to find out whats new on the site. As always, any feedback, please shout up.

Site speed

Please bare with me on the speed of the site. The previous software had been worked on for 2 years to get it tuned and havent yet started this one. If you experience an "Error 500" at any point, please just ignore and refresh as its likely to be me restarting the database server. I cannot do a lot of tuning at present however until the background processes have complete, which I am hoping will have completed before the end of today.

Hi All, Welcome back to husky owners . Please bare in mind that there is a hell of a lot left for me to do, so you will find bits missing, bits of skinning issues etc etc. I will be getting around to things. Items to note at present. The topic feed at the top of the site does not automatically update, it only updates now on site refresh. It will be staying that way for the time being, however will, in time, be replaced with a new version of this.

Hi All, You have seen things regarding the update from me for a while now. I will be upgrading the forum this weekend to the newest version of the software. Please bare in mind the following things: This is not a small upgrade and will take me a good few hours to process through before I can put the site back online When the site comes back online, there will be bits of issues here and there which I will still be addressing There will be items which will not return instantly on the site. They will return eventually but some of these are still being written. When you do come back online, you will need to log in with your display name or email address. If y…

Hi All, Some of you will already know about this if you are site sponsors, but time to let everyone else in on it now There will soon be a site upgrade coming along to the site. There has been little updating on the site for a good while now, the site has become somewhat quieter of late, but all of this is about to change. No idea what you are talking about. What is it? At present we are using the 3.4 series of invisions IP.Board along with other applications. Earlier this year there was a new version released of this software which is a large upgrade (in fact it is a complete rewrite from the ground up). I will be upgrading us to this version which will give…

Hi Guys, Seen a few messages floating around to members of staff and been asked a few myself regarding site sponsors, what its all about, what they get and so on. So thought it would be a good time to post about the site sponsors status and how you can get it if you wish to do so. SITE SPONSORS First of all what is a site sponsor? A site sponsor is a member who contributes toward the cost of the forum on a monthly basis at a value of £5, £10, £15, or £20. The reason we give special status and access in return for this is that these are what keeps the forum running. The forum costs a lot of money each and every month to keep running, some of which is actual…

Lee - Husky Gunner 1 2 3

Hi everyone, Have been asked to post up a message from Lee, husky-gunner as to why he is not around and is not likely to be around for a good while. For people who don't know, Lee works as a security guard for a supermarket. Obviously this job has its risks whilst dealing with idiots etc, however Lee has unfortunately hit one of those risks full on. So that people know everything I have been asked if I can post everything on here so he's not getting asked too many questions as people are texting him etc and he is in a lot of pain and struggling to do things at the moment. Over the weekend there was an idiot in the supermarket messing about on one of the aisle.…

Hi peeps, You will have noticed there has been some significant lag when you are posting on the forums and I have been looking around to try and resolve this. It seems that it may well be because of tapatalk notifications direct to mobile, so these have been completely disabled for the time being.

Hi Guys, Just a quick message to say please can you ensure that you email address on the site is up to date. At some point there will be information I will need to send out regarding login information when the site is upgraded as this has "slightly" changed on the newer version of the software. Nothing massive, but things people need to know in any case.

Hi all, Just a quick message to let people know that Linda has now stepped down as moderator on the forum. Linda has clearly been an excellent member of staff on this site and has been on staff since very very early days, however it has come to the point when she simply hasn't got the time anymore to do it. She's gone through camps with us, meets, shows, and many many other things that we have done over the years so I would personally like to say thank you for that and you have made a massive difference to this forum as a whole over the years. Time moves on for people. Something we all learn on here and has happened to a fair few others who have been staff at …

Hi All, Just letting you all know that I will be closing down the facebook group for posting later on tonight. The group was originally to bring people onto the forum, and as its not monitored quite as much as what the forum is it can end up harboring conversation in a way which we would not like to be associated with our forum. As such its better to be used purely as a source to let people know we are here. I will promote things that are going on within the forums every now and then on there, however it will not be a place for conversation, that can be done on the forum if people wanna chat

Hi all, Just to let you know that as the forum is reaching a million posts we have got to the point where its a good idea to start thinking about archiving. This is essentially a process of moving posts to another archive table in the database to free up the more recent and relevant stuff to be accessed more quickly. The topics themselves will still be accessable but you wont be able to reply to them. Dont worry its not something brutal, these are topics which have not been replied to for 3 years that will be picked up by the archiver and will make search, and just general accessing of the forum much faster. You will not see the speed increase overnight guys. …
