Hahaha. Well maybe I could move to a server is australia. But servers in the USA are much cheaper Peter! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> And the uptime is pretty good.

It could be moved ...but it would be painful! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Hi Glen.

Look, I know you're a fitness fanatic and like running up and down stairs, but to take on the stairs in the great wall? Surely that's going to extremes?



Apologies for hi-jacking this topic but I need some assistance.

I want to leaarn how to create a web site and maybe get a forum going here for our local Lions club.

I have looked on the net and found trial software to create mockups with, however.!!!!!!



That is where the smelly brown stuff in the fan replaces what is left of the grey matter in the head.

It all sounds like gobblety ######. Do you, or does anybody else know of a program that wil hold my hand and talk to me like a retarded 2 year old?



I really want to do this and it ticks me off no end that I cannot grasp the basics.



Thanks



Rusty

Hey how come you crossed out the gee-oh-oh-k.after gobblety?

Is that a bad word?

[Guest]

Thanks Mate

[glen]

yes that word is (sometimes) a racist slur so it is banned! i think i will keep that one in the bad word filter.



as for building a forum, you can see the link at the bottom of this page points to the company that made this forum software. i am a reasonably happy customer <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> they have "hosted" options which are the simplest option for a beginner i guess. though i prefer to use my own server.

Peter I am shocked. Here I was thinking that you're a purist.



To be candid, I like the monitor. We live in a world where foul language is the norm.

It is nice to enter a community where communication is polite for a change.



A point to remember. WORK is also a four letter word.



PS. Now if you will be so kind as to hand me your other leg Peter. I will pull that too.

Hi Peter and Rusty!



Yes the bad word filter is a bit aggressive but it keeps the teeny swear machines at bay <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



can't have everything!

[glen]

Hi Peter, see the little green + sign at the bottom left corner of each post. I just gave you rep! Now you officially have a good reputation.



Cheers, Glen

You can set your own time zone peter in the my controls section.



Go to "settings" then "general settings" and pick the timezone from the drop down.

[glen]

ok i think i fixed it. just make sure you turn off daylight savings. posting this at 7.50pm

[glen]

HI peter, that word is banned because of spammers try to sell performance enhancers!! I don't think the word would come up in conversation very often! At least not in a family friendly public forum! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[glen]

Hang on just testing.



EDIT: Time stamp is fine for me <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
