Site Problem

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 10:50:59 +0000

Not sure if others are having the same problem. I think it's possibly a Javascript problem. No images automatically display, no hover mouse over actions work and cannot post photos. The only way I can post text is to turn Javascript off in the browser. With Javascript on, the text box for posting doesn't appear, but it does when I turn off the script.

Movies and TV Shows Section Added

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 05:50:20 +0000

I am not sure what happened but the last time i did a major upgrade to the site the Movies and TV Shows section went offline, probably because of a clash with the server php version. Anyway I have fixed that and turned the section back on. Hope you can make good use of it

Site Updated

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 00:49:08 +0000

Just to let you know I have just updated the site and a core piece of software (PHP) on the server to the latest versions. A couple of addons (Movies, Books, Videos) have been temporarily disabled until I can get updated versions of them that suit the server software version upgrade. If you find any issues please let me know

WTF

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 03:04:21 +0000

Is there new software or something. Logged on this morning and found the site completely changed and totally user unfriendly. A cumbersome mess I'd describe it as. Is anyone else having the same problem? It used to always open on the page listing the forums, which I found an easy way to navigate. Now that page is gone. Clicking on the forums link just opens a topics page with a listing of topics from the various forums. I find it's changed from an easy to navigate site to what is now a not so pleasant experience.

What's with the "Newbie" rating?

Sun, 27 Mar 2022 06:26:34 +0000

A "clap hands" icon has appeared on my avatar with a Newbie rating of 1/14. What does this mean?

Site has been updated

Fri, 11 Dec 2020 04:45:02 +0000

Please be advised that the site software has been updated to the latest version. The license is about to expire however we can continue to use it although the spam defense will stop working so depending on how much spam we get will decide what will be done with the software.

Strange occurrence

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 01:37:50 +0000

I've had a few occasions recently where I have made a post to a topic, submitted it and had a reply/response, and when I have gone to make another post, the previous text is still in the text box and I have had to clear it. It is not clearing when the post is submitted.

Christmas Shopping

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 07:50:57 +0000

Remember if you support Black Friday shopping in Australia this year, buy ONLY Australian made products or at least ONLY buy from Australian owned businesses...please share to everyone so we can kick start our own country

Was there an upgrade/restore?

Sun, 13 Sep 2020 08:12:52 +0000

Seems posts on the Donald Trump thread have gone missing and so too has my thread in this forum about problems with "What's New"... Or am I (a) on the naughty step; or (b) had too much of a good time with Wolfie last night? *hic*

Your software choice?

Sat, 22 Aug 2020 01:36:04 +0000

As most of you use both this site and the Recreational Flying site you will have noticed that both sites use different software so I would like to ask you which software do you prefer to use...the software that this site Social Australia uses with all it bells and whistles...Or, the minimalist offerings the software provides on Recreational Flying.

Your vote is important to me...thanks

Problem uploading video

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 05:46:34 +0000

I was trying to upload a video in the Videos section and tried to access the Manage menu, but it was covered by the lefthand menu so that

i could only see a couple of letters at the end of a couple of options - I had no idea what I was clicking on, so I deleted it.

New section added: Books

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 02:01:06 +0000

I have added a new section to the site called Books. Just like the Movies/TV section you can add all your favourite books into the site and get comments, start discussions etc about the book with other site users.

PLUS if you use the 10 digit ISBN code from Amazon and a user buys a copy of the book using the "Buy this book" link displayed with the listing, the site gets a small commission to help with the site costs.

It is so easy to add a book, all you need is the ISBN number. You can get this from Amazon or Google books.

1. Click the Submit A New Book button

2. Select the genre

3. Enter the ISBN number...all the details of the book should then show up once you move out of the ISBN field

4. If all the automatically fields are filled out correctly, simply click the Submit button

That's all

You can also create your own Bookshelf

Enjoy and as always, the site is only as good as what YOU populate it with, the more you add things to the site, the more comments and discussions follow so please help to populate the site as much as you can...thanks

New section added: Movies/TV

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 01:23:49 +0000

I have just added a new section to the site called Movies/TV. This section allows you to add and see all the different Movies and television shows that may be of interest PLUS not only does it show a world of information about the entry but also you can add your own favourites so easily.

To add an entry just click the "Submit a new movie" button in the section, then just simply type in the title. Up will come a list of all the possible entries based on the title you entered, select the correct one and ALL the fields are automatically entered for you...you can edit them if you want but basically all you need to do is just click the submit button at the bottom...so bloody easy.

You will see that your entry will contain all the stars of the movie or television series, their Bio, the crew, any trailers, latest reviews and similar movies.

You can create a discussion on the entry in the normal way through the comment box at the bottom of the listing or even add a Review of the entry which has an up to 5 star rating system.

PLEASE, this site is only as good as its content, content that you all can add so please use the vast opportunities the site provides for you to make it your own...enjoy!

I have updated the post reactions as I understand that men may not be wanting to send another male a Love Heart (which was the software default Like) 😁

Upcoming Site Update

Fri, 26 Jun 2020 02:01:39 +0000

New Site Features

Sat, 13 Jun 2020 09:11:05 +0000

Very impressive array of features available. Haven't figured them all out yet, but it will be good to see them up and running and put to good use in the near future. Looking forward to learning the nuts and bolts of them.

Just a thread to discuss the groups feature. Any discussion about groups , members putting a feeler out for group interest etc..
