None! We get one of those horrible 10 minute meetings around a white board every morning at 10.30 There is a stupid name for them but I forget what it is. Pace setter or Lean I think) Gahhh performance indicators, targets, "The 3 C's" (don't ask) H & E considerations. Issues. and AOB. all while standing looking at a board with so many figures on they lose their purpose. Predicted hours of work / actual hours worked. Priorities.... All spouted off parrot fashion. You walk away back to...
While I agree that "following" was creepy, and I have added the custom CSS to turn it off (thanks)---I DO wish there was a way that as ADMIN I could follow certain posters. "Following" had an administrative function too: A member of our Board was following me (the paid-admin) to keep track of what I was posting so she could report to the board that I was worth the BIG BUCK$ Now I will have to prove it otherwise.
Thank you guys, all really good information. I will have to digest it! I have the basic structure of the site laid out. It is geared toward fostering exchange and encouraging interaction between members with each subgroup (with the exception of "medical conditions in the field") having it's own introduction and event forum, and a separate discussion forum. There are also chat rooms set up for each subgroup, including each medical condition listed in the "medical conditions in the field." I...
Thank you for the pub! Much appreciated. I would like to mention Dennis Dautel, who had his team produce our flash banners and logo. Thanks again Rosemary

This gave me a lot to think about - thanks Rosemary! My problem is that I am looking for something specific.... farmers and gardeners that are from Vermont. But, figuring that any exposure is good exposure, I created a Squidoo lense that's a near copy of a blog post I made as well as created a new board on Pinterest (I love Pinterest anyway so this comes easy). I like to troll the VT Craigslist for new members (Farm and Garden section) and have also posted to the online bulletin board of...
Greetings Steven: Everywhere and anywhere that we would have been using 6-8+ disk arrays for performance -- you can kiss the notion of a JBOD good bye. Our latest hardware addition, however, will be for some recent Enterprise customers. Greetings Xochiquetzal: Fantastic! I enjoy explaining technology, but haven't had much opportunity since leaving college; used to drive a white board after classes -- frequently, others would join for a sort of informal brown bag (but without the lunch). It...
I might be wrong but I think sometime in 1997 there was Ultimate Bulletin Board, Version 3.0 - Beta 2 . We had just started our forum then with you guys.
That item is a "request" by the member for the admin to delete their content. You can refuse to delete their content, if you feel it's within your rights. We're just providing the mechanism that will support compliance with GDPR; what you choose to do with it is your decision as the owner/admin. Unfortunately, when technological solutions are legislated, they don't always think of the consequences for all scenarios. Sadly, online communities were not really given deep consideration when...
Good tips about reaching out to first-responders. Any thoughts on GETTING people to post their first post? Our board is not a "chatty" board, rather, people are expected to contribute ideas. We also don't see many people using the "Like" response feature either. Assuming our content is likable what else can we do to increase engagement? I have good members who will email me their content, and when I ask them why they didn't post it I can read between the lines that they are afraid of looking...
I think we might have beaten you guys, we started around Jan 1998 with (link from Wayback Internet Archives website https://web.archive.org/web/19...ate.cgi?action=intro Ultimate Bulletin Board, Version 3.0 - Beta 2
