Re: Suggestion: Tend to hosting account orders/requests prom

I have to say, things are pretty quick around here, especially for the price. I probably picked the worst day and time when I first registered and made my hosting account request. I think 2-3 pricing options for speed of service provided would work great. Another way that might work to accomplish th...

Re: Remember me on login

Those buggers! I hate that. Have you ever tried captcha being required for each post? I know the spam bot makers have anti-captcha too, but I found it seemed to work pretty good. Maybe for the login topic - an oauth protocol might meet both needs, allowing users to sign in with one **** from their G...

Account upgrade requests?

I have used up my disk space and need to request an upgrade to my hosting account, but I can no longer see the hosting requests section in the forums, the Free Hosting category only shows me this section, "new user's questions". How do I request my account to be upgraded to the next level?...

Re: Bicycle GIS site

That's a good idea. You could tie in Google Maps and allow users to submit all their own trails and guides, so that it would keep growing, and be easy for everyone to access. Could be easily done with a wordpress membership site and Google Maps integration. Then you could star your favorite maps fro...

Re: What is your fav. search engine?

I also used Altavista for many years before Google came around. There are still many reasons to use alternatives to Google, for example local search engines can offer advantages like Canuckster.com for Canadians. Especially if you are on a hunt, instead of just a quick search, as you'll find things ...

Remember me on login

I've always been a fan of the remember me checkbox, especially for when I know I'll be online working for a long time. That way I can pop back between tasks and check for replies to my threads, or new threads for me to reply to. Is there a reason why we aren't able to stay logged in here?

Re: Kobo Glo

Yeah eReaders are great. I had one passed down to me by family and am very thankful for it. Just working on my habits to have it out and with me more often so I have it when I should use it. Maybe I'll try the Kobo Glo one day, sounds like it would be a lot better. I am just using an old Sony black ...

Re: Website Logo & Titles

I find adobe illustrator is better for making logos etc than Photoshop. I also like GIMP. Gimp does anything photoshop does and it's free opensource. Also lots of support out there for using GIMP. I often use Fiverr or other places where one can just pay a nominal fee to get what they need, time is ...

Re: How do you get a free domain here?

Oh Cool. Some more buzz on this one might get some posting frenzies going. Maybe you could consider doing a free .com for people who post 350 posts or some other possible but difficult milestone... That would really increase people's desire to post.. If you make the free domain offer more visible, a...

Re: Are there still people on these forums?

There are active people in these forums! Suggestions on how to increase user engagement levels: - Hold a regular contest of some kind. You could give away hosting upgrades, or maybe a domain registration free of charge once a month. You could hold contests 1 at a time, for each forum section you wan...
