Trishah, neat winter shots! The icicles on my roof grow longer every day, soon some will reach down to the first floor windows. I got two favorites and wait to see who's the winner in the race.

Would you explain how to post photos on the BB, please? Thanks.

I have more photos from the most recent storm I haven't added to my little winter storm site yet. Maybe today.

The best way to get a photo on the site is to post it somewhere online.  This will then give you a link for the image and you can then use the bbcode for images:

If you don't have a flickr or paintbucket account then you can add it to our media center gallery.  The link for it is in the nav menu way on top of this page or here: http://johnfromcincinnati.net/forum/index.php?action=gallery

Trishah, help! Is that possible to sort out the site registered members by the date they have signed up? I try to weed out casino and drug sellers, so  looking through the whole list over and over is a tedious job!

Trishah, some newly registered people ask questions right in their profile, here's one that I copied and thought to re-post here.

"I think this board is the proper place to ask you about the activation process. My link is not working properly, do you know why it is happening? [url=http://johnfromcincinnati.net/?7e1a73ec6089da912"

It's a link to a website, I think.  Must be selling some stuff, nothing exciting, anyways.

Trishah,
thank you for the greeting card. I accidentally deleted the e-mail where the address was, so I'm replying here, hope you'd look into the tech thread. I learned a lot about different flowers' meaning from it too, thanks! :)

You are welcome about the card :D

Update:  Today I purchased the domain johnfromcincinnati.net for another year and updated TheFund numbers and speadsheet.

I checked the site for the rating as you've asked, it seems quite a small outfit, can hardly bring masses to this place, besides it doesn't allow anonymous rating.
Will send you something for the domain as soon as I get to updating my PanPal acct.
Good luck!

Thanks for checking into the site.

And as for them money, it is not a problem.   We still have $180-ish in the account.  And since I provide free hosting that $180 will last approximately 12 years of domain names  ;D  Assuming we don't need to purchase anything else.

I did an update of the forum script today and added some more spam protection.   Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Hello All :D

I just did another update.  This time to the registration page.   I received an email for someone who tried to register and was getting an error.  After looking into this I determined it was the old captcha system that was the problem.

There is now a picture puzzle that needs to be completed in order to register.   This has better security than the old captcha.

Good changes, Trishah, I've noticed immediately a big  drop in new "members"- the riddle is too much to handle for zombies. 8)

lol.     Glad it's finally working.  Now I know what measures to implement.

Just an update on "The Fund"...

I renewed the domains of johnfromcincinnati.net and johnfromcincinnati.net today and redid the Excel spreadsheet to show the current funds available.  At this rate, we can keep the domains for another 7 years without any more donations  :)

Hello All!

Just wanted you to know about a couple administrative actions I've performed...


  • First, I've purchased JohnFromCincinnati.net for another year and updated the Excel spreadsheet and the homepage image to reflect the current TheFund size.
  • Second, I have redirected traffic from johnfromcincinnati.net over to here but have not deleted anything from the site itself.  I did this because the online rating community MyWOT.com had it rated as a "poor" site and it had very bad ratings there simply because it was not an active site.  If you've ever used MyWOT you know that it it give red/yellow/green ratings and if the site has a red warning then you get this large WARNING page you have to click past to get into a site.  I just made the site look like a scam or a virus site and that is not the impression I think we want people to have about it.  If anyone feels strongly about keeping it live for any reason I can stop the redirection easy enough.  Just let me know.
  • I have also updated this forum to the most recent version.  Let me know if you experience any problems.
