Members Willjag Posted September 14, 2016 Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 He should be getting in touch with those who have previously offered their services in the next week or two to see if they still want to help out. Â The good news is that this site wont be closing. If you know of anyone that wants to get on and had issues before get them to try again and if they're still having problems, pm me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 When OLAS went I was heartbroken. When ptfc.net went I fell into a deep depression. If this one goes........

Was previously an Admin on here when the site 1st opened, happy to help out in any way I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas clark Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Willjag, Â Apologies, just reply to me here. Â I am willing, and arguably able, to take the administrative load off of your shoulders. I was asked to become a moderator on Space.com, which I refused. Largely because I thought it would be difficult to judge between the sincere supporters of Ayn Rand and the nutters. For information there is no such thing as a sincere supporter of Ayn Rand, They are all nutters. So I declined the role. Assuming that the incidence of Partick Thistle supporters that really care for extreme right wing US politics, beyond them being bat shit crazy, I'd be happy to help. Â I kind of know what an 'ad hominem' actually is, and would stamp on it. Â You could look at this as a job application, or as me declining a job opportunity.

Members Willjag Posted January 26, 2017 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Sorry guys, I've been having some trouble with my PC and as such, I've rarely been able to get on here very much of late. Please be assured, I haven't forgotten about you or ignoring you, it's just between one thing and another, I haven't had the time to get this sorted out once and for all. We do need your help! Â When I have more time I'll sort out some admin/moderating rights for those interested. Please do keep an eye on your PM inbox as I will initially deal with it via there. Thanks for your patience.

Pinhead Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I know about half a dozen people waiting to join this forum who for whatever reason have not been activated yet - what is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted May 25, 2017 Members Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yeah, hands up, I've dropped the ball on this one. I have all the details to pass on but between one thing and another, I just haven't got round to it. I'll have a look over the weekend and try and find the access details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted June 7, 2017 Members Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I had a look at who was waiting to join and there wasn't too many recent ones. So I've approved a couple of the more recent and deleted the rest. If anyone knows of folk that are waiting to join, now would be a good time to start the process.

Mr Bunny Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) As time to do things may be a problem, please don't take this as criticism - a suggestion! The site intro page is looking rather dated. Ideally a complete revamp would be in order but I realise that's not likely at the moment, however I would guess there is some kind of content management system so that it would be fairly easy to swap some of the images and videos (e.g. replace the Steve O'Donnell one with one of say Booth or Doolan). Â Also get rid of the "This API is no longer available." messages that appear above the forum buttons, though not sure how that would be done as the message isn't in the source code but comes from something else. Still it should only be a bit of tidying up and easy to whoever runs the site and knows what creates it. Â The search and choice of images/videos to show (which is probably the most time consuming aspect of what I'm asking could be put out to forum members to submit/suggest/choose. Would be willing to give a little help in some way if it's more work than I'm assuming - though apart from basic HTML I don't know all that much.

Members Willjag Posted July 19, 2017 Members Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'm admining the forum for the time being. I dont know how to do anything else. So stuck with what we have I'm afraid. If anyone wants to take over the the running of the site, please let me know. The former owners are keen to pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 What kind of skills are required? As I said I know some HTML and have used a CMS at basic level but if actual programming skills are required I'd probably be at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
