IrmaJean Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yes, the owner (malign) pays the hosting company. There is no money being made.I personally will be very sad if there is any data loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I agree w Klingsor that a "contribute here" button that takes you to an address to mail a check or punch in a paypal would be fair and plausible as would tasteful advertising (no male enhancement please) such as counseling services or online courses etc. But like anything I am sure there are reasons why things are the way they are.

Resolute Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I wouldn't. A catastrophic data loss of all my shit would suit me just fine. I wonder what would happen to me if my digital self were "derezzed"?there isn't much of your "digital self" left online to begin with (your own - digital self- deleting is impressively catastrophic also lol).

IrmaJean Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I can't speak for malign, but the site is here to hopefully help. I already know our community has made a positive difference for some members. There can't be a price placed on that. Priceless. We all "contribute here" when we support one another.

Victimorthecrime Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yes it has helped. Reading things, even views I didn't share, got me thinking and thinking is usually beneficial to either taking action or coming to peace w things.

LaLa Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 It seems like these problems with the website had also a positive consequence: This sharing of our feelings about the help we've received . Thank you, everyone!This site has been very helpful and insightful to me as well and I'm very thankful for all the people I "met" here, especially those who've become my friends for a longer time . I know I don't share much about my problems here "lately" and I was often "off" , but... that doesn't decrease my appreciation of this community.

Resolute Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 a word of advice to those having problems signing in: don't sign off (manually). the system will automatically sign you off after 15 minutes of inactivity, and you'll be automatically signed in as soon as you're active again (provided you check the "remember me" box).

IrmaJean Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I am wondering if anyone has better luck with specific browsers or methods to sign in? Right now I have to go back and forth between 2 browsers to sign in and I am still not able to use many site functions. I am trying to do some necessary tasks that will hopefully enable us to get the site fixed, but these same tech issues are holding up the process.

Resolute Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 i use the method i mentioned above, and have no problems signing in. i use pale moon browser, but i doubt that makes much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thank you for the browser recommendation. I am able to log in now, though with some difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 you weren't using chrome by any chance, were you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I get about 15 minutes of use each night and then it signs me off and I cannot sign on again. I am using a phone. Someday I will buy an Apple lap top. I will go w/o a computer before I ever deal w Microsoft and it's endless windows updates, crashes, reboots, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 i've been using windows for as long as i can remember, and even tho xp had some issues, and i was a novice pc user at the time, i don't experience much problems with windows 7, and i've been using it for over 5 years. i haven't even used an antivirus in a couple of years.

Victimorthecrime Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I had XP and it was total shit. All it ever did was run virus and windows updates and generate one error message after another. PCs are the biggest farce ever hoisted on the public. A lot of $4,000 paper weights out there.

IrmaJean Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have been using CM browser and Chrome and Firefox, mostly from my phone. Right now this is the only browser (pale moon) that will even load the page for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 We have new software. I am testing to see if it is working properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 looks like the site has been updated. i guess the new format is gonna need some getting used to. Â a couple of observations: 1. all members' display names have have been reverted to the original display names. fortunately they can be easily changed. 2. all notifications were lost . is there any way to get them back? 3. all signatures appear to be gone as well. 4. active members' list at the bottom of a given page is no longer there. 5. other settings might have also been affected.

finding my way Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I would add that the feature allowing us to view new comments is gone, unless I don't see where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Your post shows in my blog, LaLa. Even though it says it doesn't work, it is actually posting multiple times. There are changes and it will take some time to get used to everything, but we are up and running. I'm sorry if any of the changes are upsetting in any way. I am learning as well about the new software and will pass on the information as I learn it. Resolute, I'm not certain we can get the old notifications back again. I apologize for any data loss. On my phone, if I click the lines in the top right corner, there is a screen that says account, browse, and activity. If I click on browse, I can find the blogs. There is something (not sure how to describe it) to the left of the search lens that brought me to new posts. I hope this helps some.
