To greet newcomers - Page 2

OK now what?, I drove by last night and saw the carpet's installed and the painters are finished, I could see a piano and some instruments back on the stage in the corner, um, the local distributer will be there tomorrow to stock the bar and bring coffee and tea. The new "Avalon Lounge" sign is up in the window! Oh, and the kitchen is finished too! So where's the grand opening going to be?, In the subscription only area?, or the social group area?

There has also been much discussion of a place to "chat" in real time. Our current V Bulletin forum does not allow that. I'm checking on the status of our Joomla based Library to act in that fashion. And just got word that will probably not work out. It's too much load on the server.

When I googled "free chat" there are lots of places where real time chat could be set up by someone with the energy to do it. The whole subscription thing has wore me down - so count me out as the doer for setting up a chat room.

Sounds like though - there are several threads here on the forum that can be a friendly place for newcomers, and that friendship invitation feature is awesome, warm and fuzzy.

I'm using the "Minty Skin" (ah so much easier on my eyes) instead of white on dark blue "Avalon Electric" (button is on the bottom left) and so in minty, when I click on the "Home" button I can see a list of who's currently online. In Electric, it's above the buttons, Project Avalon Forum.

I have just been advised you can get Skype for free and up to 24 people can chat there. I can find the link to that later. Will post this now.

Any IRC pioneers here? A chat would be jolly.

Hi again Karen.
Just speculations.
This “To greet newcomers”, is an “open thread” and has a link pointing to a thread that has a “for subscription only”.
You Karen has a Moderator level, me (stiros) and Czymra has a Member level.
Maybe there is something “buggy” in testing the different flags within the vBulletin program.
Just speculations.

mpea · 01-08-2009, 08:02 PM

The link to the Avalon Lounge thread as posted by Luminari does not work for me either....

peace and blessings

That is more likely the cause than the operating systems.
You need to check your board settings. What is the result when you click the link. 404 or nothing at all?

mpea · 01-08-2009, 08:35 PM

mpea, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Above is what I get when clicking on the link - strange!!!!

Peace and blessings

Well, Karen, maybe you could forward this to the admin. There seems to be a conflict between subscribers and moderators regarding the "Subscription Only" part of the board.

Karen · 01-08-2009, 08:55 PM

Mpea is a member and I'm a mod, so it must be at some other level.

OHhhhh Colin, yohoooooo Gareth, techie guys, why can't I access that thread? I'm a mod - whassup with that? I have less power than the members? Oh oh off in the distance I hear the faint eerie tune of the Twilight Zone theme song.
