Welcome To The New Forums

[admin]

I would like to welcome everyone to the ROEA Forums now being hosted on the BlackSun Inc servers. This has been a very difficult process to get the forums over here intact and i apologize if any thing is missing. So far the only thing i was not able to move over was the attachments people had placed in their posts and profiles.

Don't know what you call it, but I do like the "book" with a green code that let's you know there is a new post, alot easier to see than the small green dot on the gauges as per the last change. And the avatar to the side is much nicer than having it bleed over into our posts to the point that you couldn't see the first few words. Thumbs up!

Looks like the albums people had is gone as well. Is it possible to resurrect them?

[admin]

The albums are there just not the attachments i have tried every possible way to bring them over.

[mln385]

Ya that is what I meant...I am wondering if there isn't something in the admin area to reload them, I am sure you have looked and they may just be the casualty of the move. No biggie for me I didn't have a whole bunch in there.

Are they jpegs held on the old server?

Ditto that, I thought I was the only one seeing pages that way here since no one said anything till now. I didn't care for that little green dot either, very hard to see.

I liked the Tachometers being the gearhead I am.

[360Roushrunner]

I think it is easier to see new posts to, two thumbs up!!!

[06stage2]

Small bug to squash... when you click on go to first new post in a thread it doesn't take you to the first new post.

[3ponies]

What about the store? I can't sign in to buy some of those deals! Other stuff is pretty cool!

[mln385]

Rick,
Looks to me like you will have to create an account, I just tried it and below the sign in is the area to set up your account.
The store is a seperate software from the forum so that is probably why your forum access does not work.

I liked the tachometers too (or were they speedometers?) but they were so small the little green blinkie was damn near impossible to see...

[pgrnfarm]

Meryln, maybe like me, your eyesight is starting to go.....that's why the little green blinkies were so hard to see.

[mln385]

Well ya know they say the eyesight is the first thing to go I won't mention the second since your eyesight is fading you will soon find out! LMOA..:lol:

[360Roushrunner]

I was going to chime in on this one, but nope to dirty in my head, lol!

[pgrnfarm]

Believe me, the eyesight, along with alot of other stuff is GONE.

[06stage2]

Eyesight might be gone but the rest is still there, thank you.

[admin]

The store requires you to create an account as it is completely seperate from the forum.

Geee, you guys must be getting old:yo:

Why does it seem the forums are changing every single day? The chat box is there then its not then its there then its not...Now I have a have a page of ads and google crap and no chat box?????

Hey Cameron, I did buy at the store last year and now it does not recongnize my email address. Do I need to build a new account?
Thanks sir..

[pgrnfarm]

I just hope that orders that were placed (such as mine) in the last week or so DON'T disappear. Do we get some kind of confirmation on the order, shipment date, etc. How long does it usually take to receive merchandise and when do you start to worry that your order was lost......

[mln385]

Rick at the risk of over stepping my bounds with the board or Cameron, the store is all new software. The one last year went missing electronicaly so any of your info went with it.

Because they are...To webadmin can we do without the ads?

[admin]

Every customer and order from the store was transfered over as i took the upmost care to ensure this was done.

Shirley

your oder is there and being processed by Jim as he has all of the store inventory. I am happy to report that the store is once again making money as we have had 4 or 5 orders come in over the past few days.

Marc

You complain that the income of the club has come to a standstill and that last year we had a defecit in our bank funds. Well you please pick one side or the other here and stop making my job on the forums here so much harder. I have changed a few of the settings for the google ads but i would like to keep them as we may be able to make just enough money off of them to pay for the webhosting. Ideally i would like to replace them with ads from our sponors but we need sponsors to do that!!

Cameron,
I did not complain I stated fact and backed up with documentation. I don't see how I am making your job on the forum harder.....perhaps all these changes being made that appear to be a few steps back each time are what is creating the larger workload.

From the public view point this club is stagnant and not moving forward , where is the rest of the board why are they not posting over here keeping the body of members aware of what is going on?
There has been numerous questions here that have gone unanswered and no presence from the BOARD.

This Club has 14 to 15k in the bank will it be used for events and benifits for the members or will it just sit there or be used up for expenses?

You know if you search back 6 months to a year ago you will see were there was more outcry of less issues in my opinion by some of this very exisiting board. So why is there lack of repsonce tolerated now?

I kind of like the fact that the ads bring in enough to at least break even for the web hosting, they aren't a bother to me. I think every forum I visit from fnsweet, to LS1.com, trailvoy.com, TMN, etc, all have ads to do the exact same thing don't they?

As for members speaking up, you certainly can't say I keep my mouth shut, or my fingers from the keyboard but I do agree with you that the "higher ups"...send us all a little sunshine ray of hope every once and awhile.
Maybe start with "hey, how y'all doin out there???? LOL
I don't see very much interaction except for Cameron in the latest posts and that could be pushing people away from visiting.
No news may not always be good news, but maybe everyone else is just letting the excitement build. IDK....

Kevin, I am breathless with anticipation of that Ray of Hope! I am OK with the Ads too. If it is income and we may get some deals like the BangaStang stuff I ordered I am OK with it. My big question is why do I want to renew my membership?

Looking forward to seeing you at the HRPT in June!

[pgrnfarm]

Sure glad we don't have to worry about renewing until June. Maybe by then, some of our questions will be answered, surely hope so.

Just an FYI this club is a non profit, it is a car club and social entity. Therefore there is certain criteria that this club and it's board has to adhere to.

One being not more than 30% of it's income can come from other than membership, the club is for the members not to advertise.

I personaly do not appreciate the ads especialy the Saleen one for a Roush club, that is just me.
If the powers at be decide the ads I needed I guess we live with it, however it needs to be monitored so the ratio and balance does not get this club in jepoardy of it's satus.

So I ask has the Board investigated this scenario prior or did it just implicate it?
And yes I know I am asking allot of questions, however they don't seem to be getting answered so yes the appearance of numerous questions and antagonizing seems to be there.

If the questions were being answered and some type of communication for the future perhaps the situation would improve.
