Welcome Back!!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

Welcome Back Everyone!! :thumbs

Well that was fun wasnt it? :gasp :backoff

Hope everyone is ok :kiss , I know a lot of precious threads and posts were lost.

First thing to go and do right now (we have no idea when they will be wiped by google as they update their pages), is to go to google and do a search on certain threads you are after (it will only apply to those threads in publicly viewable forums), use your username in the search and see if you can locate any cached pages (its the link to the right under the main link/blurb about the link). This will give you a page you can either save (file>save as) or copy and paste the text (preferred option).

You just might be able to recover some info :)

Everyone will need to re-register, so please PM me once you have so I can mod/admin you.

Its just the basic framework that has been put up, you will notice lots of bits showing through from the original install + lots of bits missing and/or need to be adjusted etc).

I have heaps to do to rebuild the intricate settings and functions. Last thing I need is a 'bug' thread to remind me of how much...! The only thing we need to focus on right now is getting feedback about access to different areas of the forum. So if you are having trouble accessing a forum you feel you should be able to,please PM me with the details.

I will be slowly working in the background to get all the rest completed, once Im finished (or as I go if needed), I will post a request for 'bug sightings' :) (if you feel yo have come across something critical , please PM me)

Some forums have not been created yet, such as all the support forums + australia forums etc, they are next on the list, so please be patient while I work on it.

OK, now that we are all back on track, go forth and post up a storm!! :D

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

oops, sorry everyone... :blushing I turn the forum on, but forgot to untick 'allow new registrations' :laugh

Ok, you should all be able to register now! :2thumbup

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

gmail has a pretty aggressive spam filters - it likes to eat up those types of emails!

[Harmony]

I looked long and hard to find my spam in gmail, massive PITA, it was hidden under my labels list (on the left)

[Ethereal]

I feel all kinda wonky & off-balance ... until I saw the race for most posts well established :2lol.

Mel, you are a total legend :worship2.

[Ethereal]

Think I might change my name and all....the name Ethereal is calling me. Any conscientious objections?

[mama_bel]

I love it! Do it!

[Ethereal]

Yay!! Know any handy admins Bel who can fix it for me? *wink, wink; nudge, nudge*.

[soulmama]

Helping Bec move, giggling at someones new 'friendship' :) and lots of home/doula/derby stuff. Facebook has been good, but not way good enough :grouphug

[Moneypenny]

[Ethereal]

The new smilies...yeah I have to re-learn too lol.

Mel, I don't get this instruction?

[Savannah]

Thanks for getting everything sorted Mel and admin.

[Hailstorm]

It's ok everyone, calm down I have arrived...took me a wee little while to find my way back but I made it!!!

Mel I wish yo were right next to me so I could give you a huge sloppy wet thank you kiss

[Ethereal]

It's ok everyone, calm down I have arrived...took me a wee little while to find my way back but I made it!!!

Phew!!! :kiss

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

they are the same smilies, I just need to go in and fix them up, they are in a different order and have slightly different codes, as I couldn't remember exactly what codes they all had :)

If you have any posts/threads that you want to keep (some had birth stories etc), you can search through google for catched pages. These are pages that are not live on the net, but a snap shot of a page at a particular time.

[mrs fox]

Is anyone else having to log back in everytime a page is refreshed?
I am and I just want to check that is just my securing in the laptop?

[soulmama]

I am too Jill... wondering if it was me.. :2lol

[Ethereal]

Me three :)

[mrs fox]

good then I know the computer is ok...

[SpringMumma]

Biggest, sloppiest, smoochiest kisses and hugs to Mel for resurrecting our little haven! As someone else said, I too have been hanging on Facebook, but it really wasn't cutting it.

Phew, so glad we're all back!

[´*~·Meje·~*`]

Nice one everyone!! Not bad for 24 hours huh? :D

[Lee]

Squeeeeee!!

I missed you, IP!

[~chelle~]

OK, well I'm back, and haven't had much of a look around yet (supposed to be doing bookwork). So our post count starts from scratch? Boo hoo...I had just reached a significant milestone and hadn't been able to exercise my new standing before we lost it.

I only JUST got my own website back up and running, but can I get my banner ad put back on Mel?

Hello to all. My feet are back on the ground, and I decided this week to start going with the flow instead of against it. I see more flowers now :)

[~chelle~]

Oh, and BTW, I went to my real name. Not that I've lost my Goddess, but being my OWN Goddess, not a legendary one LOL.

Do I have to fix my pic and all? Man, do you have any idea how lazy I am?
