A couple of new benefits..

[Okiewan]

Coming soon... for "Life" members.

1) webspace for posting pics, pages, etc.
2) web based email... no email program required, your own [email protected], accessable from your web browser, no need to use the companies email program :) , check email from any machine, anywhere. No one will be able to track or read your email passing thru their routers :eek:

I'm in the beginning stages of a big upgrade, once complete... these features will be added.

 

[Strick]

Very nice Okie, thanks!

 

[biglou]

Man, this just keeps getting better and better! No wonder I'm here all the time.
Thanks Okie and all else involved.

 

[BSWIFT]

[Treejumper]

[MX-727]

Thanks Okie :)

 

[Fred T]

Ok good I think....

but crap now I've got to learn how to make a web page! :scream: It took me 3 days and 29 e-mails from Big Lou to get one picture posted in a thread I started. :mad:

Anyway, thanks for all you do Okie. I gotta make it to one of your dirtweeks soon!

 

[Jim Crenca]

Thank you; sounds like a nice perk.

 

[RM_guy]

That's great Okie. Thanks.

It couldn't have come at a better time since PhotoPoint took a :uh:

 

[dhoward]

Better all the time!
Now if we could just get a bigger exhaust fan in the bathroom....

 

[sfc crash]

ha! a web page...sa-weet, i just got a digital camera that'll shoot quicktime movies......bring on the highlight reels.;)

 

[fatherandson]

Thanks Okie!!

However, I am with Fred T. Will the webspace and email have a "how to" manual?:confused:

 

[Rodzilla]

Excellent! Best $100 I ever spent.

Well except for that time in Amsterdam....:p

 

[Okiewan]

The web space is a matter of self-preservation... :mad:
I wanted to build member pages for everyone, but just cant find enough time to get it done.

I'm working on the software now that will let you upload pics and captions, automatically make thumbnails of each and display them nicely. (example would be "Spodevision" ( http://www.dirtrider.net/photobook/imageFolio.cgi?direct=1_SpodeVision_-_DRN_DirtWeek_2K ) ... which is broken at the moment... anyway... I'm working on it, will let ya know when it's ready.

 

[biglou]

Are the current member pages going to go away to be replaced by our self-made ones?

 

[Okiewan]

Not sure about the current member pages... we'll see if the new stuff will replce them.

Update on posting pics/new software. Purchased the core software today, it's going to require a ton of hacking, but will integrate with the forum software... to difficult to explain, but it's gonna rock!

Will let ya know when we can start testing it.

 

[biglou]

*Mr. Burns voice on* "Excellent."

Man, this IS gonna rock! I have a million questions but I don't want to bombard you with all of them at once! I am assuming that we will each have our own space with unlimited, secure access to it to change/update as we please? I know, I'm like a kid at Christmas. Hey, you shoulda seen me four days ago! LOL. One last question-Will there be enough space to put helmetcam movies on there? Oh, the possibilities! :)

 

[oldguy]

WWOOOWWW

Okie just left the door ajar so I wandered in. You guys are going to go nuts when you see what he was tinkering with. Get those cameras going and I'll meet you back by the bar to toast Okie:cool:

 

[Okiewan]

1) You will have your own space, assuming I can write a decent way to handle it.
2) Space will be limited, not sure how much yet, probably around 10 megs or so. BANDWIDTH will be limited as well. 11,000 members with access to your 5 meg helmet cam video will use a BUNCH of bandwidth. We'll have to see.
3) I wont be able to provide web site building support, I've got too many customers as it is :scream:
