How are the free forums coming along?
« on: April 26, 2007, 03:18:41 PM »
Have you had much response to the free forums offer?  I'm curios to see just how people are using that feature.  I tried to get into them but the page would not open.

A few people have set up their own forum sites but not nearly as many as we'd hoped would have by this time. It's coming but very slowly.

What link didn't work for you? I just checked the link up in the News Box and it worked fine. What link to it isn't working?

GB, I clicked on the free forums link today and it popped open just fine.  Maybe I'll set up on for myself.

I started to set one up but when I clicked on the link sent in the e-mail I was told I had a wrong name of some sort (short term memory problem here).

Probably made the same mistake I did the first time I tried to set one up. Try again. Make sure you read and follow the directions carefully. Once I did that it worked fine.  ;D

Its up and running.  Now all I gotta do is generate some interest from the people for whom I set it up!!

Yup that's ALWAYS the hard part is getting the folks to come. If you ever need help me or Matt will be happy to assist you with any technical issues you have. It's the old software we used to use here so I'm still fairly familiar with it. But really the admin side of it is very easy to figure out.

Just be VERY CAREFUL not to mess with the URL of it as that will kill the site totally for you.
