Roger_au1 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Is it just me and my PC or has the "mini" forum been offline for days ?? Or at least only up occasionally ?? Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 No it is still there but there is some access problems. One trick I use is to press "stop" as it tries to load and then press "refresh" and I get it. Once the server gives me the index page it seems to go smoothly.

Laurieheels Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I bookmarked an actual link to the page and get there fine every time. http://members3.boardhost.com/jennyheels/?982958163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I am curious as to why there are two Jenny Forum sites ; the mega-forum here and the mini-forum ? If the mega-forum site was not meant to replace the mini-forum site, then why was the mega-forum site created ? click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.

Firefox Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 The mini forum was the original discussion board at Inside the Web originally created as part of Jenny's site. When Inside the Web closed down, I helped recreate it at Boardhost for the benefit of the community. However, it doesn't store very much information and the posts get lost after a while. Also it's not a very efficient way of indexing large amounts of material on different topics. So Jeff kindly offered to help us start this thread type forum on his server. There was some opposition, as change is often not welcome at first, and this board is harder to learn to use. But we agreed we would preserve the other forum as some people prefer that format and indeed continue to use it. In fact many people post at both so we have the best of both worlds.

Heelfan Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Yes, I have posted on both Jenny's Forum and on the her companion 'Make Friends' Forum that the site has been inaccessible on three occasions lately, the current one (ongoing) having already lasted 10 days or more. This is sad, because the posting have noticeably dried-up. I think only the small minority (including Laurie and me) will know the URL for the precise Forum page, and everyone else will think the site has folded-up and it will wither and die. That would be a VERY great shame, because as Firefox says, both sites are very valuable in different ways, and I would hate to see either disappear! Firefox, can't you pull a few strings with Jenny's administrator/webmaster (Pheels?) to get him to try and sort-out the problems and get the whole of Jenny's site fully running and accessible again?

Firefox Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I don't have anything to do with the maintenance of Jenny's site, but you could try mailing pheels@hotmail.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hello Firefox! I'd love to contact Pheels myself, but unfortunately I haven't yet got an email number of my own, without which I cannot complete the message-sending panels to be able to send emails. Would you or your colleagues be kind enough to express all our concerns to Pheels? Jenny's site really does appear to be in danger of withering and dying through lack of maintenance. I have tried posting to him directly on both Jenny's Forum and Jenny's 'meet friends' Forum (see on those pages), but Pheels doesn't answer them. Many of the regular posters like Patience and others stopped posting about a month ago when Jenny's site started to become inaccessible, so the probably don't know any other way of getting into the Forum pages, so the site is going dead. It is a VERY great shame! Cheers, Heelsfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Heelfan, you can't spend all this time on the internet without an email address! Its an absolutely basic requirement, like turning up to a gig without one's instrument Trot along to http://www.hotmail.com and sign up for a free email account now. It takes only 10 minutes to sign up, and all your emails are stored on the webserver not on your machine. This means two things (a) Other people who use your machine wont be able to access your messages. (make sure you don't tell it to remember your password) ( You can access your email from any machine in the country/world eg Cyber cafe etc. I'd recommend a "webmail" such as hotmail on the grounds of privacy.

Yamyam Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 And you can have a name that isn't your real name, which is really reassuring. "Yamyam" Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Nation Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 And you can have a name that isn't your real name, which is really reassuring. "Yamyam" You're not suggesting that isn't your real name?, I'm shocked! I'd never do such a thing! Emma J Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Well, it's a fairly real name, but it isn't what my parents call me. Julietta sometimes calls me 'Yam' tho' Obsessed is such a strong word.

Heelfan Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Thanks Firefox, for your persuasion and guidance on my obtaining an email number. I suppose in a way I can see why many would find it useful, although I have to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed (as you've noticed!) my last few months since going on the Net and simply contributing things here and stirring things up there a bit (where they needed it) without feeling bereft at not receiving any personal replies. Don't they preach 'To give is better than to receive'?, and in fact Xa doesn't seem to give any email number on his Megaforum membership listing(!). Anyway, I think I'll follow your advice shortly - in for a penny and in for a pound! Cheerfully Yours, Heelsfan Onwards and upwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I think Xa leaves it out to avoid it getting spammed which can sometimes happen. He does have one though. It's an email "address" BTW not a number. If someone on the net asks you what your "addie" is, you'll know what they're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelfan Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Great News! Firefox and Laurieheels have resurrected most of Jenny's High Stiletto Heels Site on line. There is still some retieval and sorting -out to do, but they've already got much of it back up and running. I hope they will come on this thread to let you know their exciting new plans for adding to Jenny's site. Well done both of you! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
