Conversation, politics and stray insights

We’re here!

Tue 20 April 2010, 2:22pm

Well, what do you think? Let us know, but – as Mark said in the probably-deleted comment thread on the old site, try and turn off your ‘I didn’t want it to change in the first place’ impulses and then give us your feedback in the comments thread below. Everyone who registered with the old site will be able to claim their username. For privacy reasons, your old passwords were encrypted so we’ve not been able to bring them across.

You will need to  log into this site as if you’d forgotten your passwords. I’ve prepared a briefing here that will show you how to reclaim it if you get stuck with this.

There’ll be lots of new stuff to tell you about in due course, and we’ll be adding a string of new features that have been developed in the background, but some of them will involve a bit of training for our regular bloggers before we can release all of that.

Our current developers didn’t do the install or choose / optimise the server, so we’ve got our fingers crossed that the site will handle the traffic that you throw at it over the next few days, but we will aim to have a the site on a new server once we’ve got any teething troubles out of the way.

    Don’t know if this has been requested already but can we have an option to remember us when we log in? I always forget to log in and having to re-enter my details every time I visit the site is a bit of a pain.

    In recent months, my website has displayed; “Excessive use of wrong password” on the first login attempt,(MySpace), and any log in to Twitter has prompted any use of my site (‘HugoInterpreter’) to prompt my printer to print out reems of visited sites/pages that would drain the capacity of my regularly busy ink cartridge. The latest MyPhotos section includes the ‘Dorset Police’ album which is a transcript of a secretly rcorded interview with station sergeant Turner, and is, if not self explanitary, quite frankly shocking. Does anyone understand?

    Padraig …yikes, the avatar image of the Padraig Pearse, a religious fundalmantalist Catholic and fanatic, that had an odd affection for children bordering on paedophilia and was responsible for some awful poetry, so sentmental and sickly sweet, ye’d nearly develop diabetes after reading it….plus a psychotic, hell bent on spilling blood comparing himself to the son of god. What a fucking nut case. Oh, his da was an Englishman btw.
