Technical issues TTV

Hi all, thanks for everyone who let me know the site was down.
We’ve had some problems with our web hosting but (fingers crossed) are back now.
Mr Juz has had to disable the “like” so you’ll just have to comment to show your appreciation instead.
If the site goes down again, there is a Talking TV page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TalkingTVAU/ and I will post updates on there until it gets going in. Cheers

SPAM INFO – from Admin Juz

Hi Talking TVers
Just alerting you that you may notice a change next time you log on to the site. You may be asked to do one of those “I am not a robot” screen captcha things. This is because I was getting a tonne of spammers registering. If it does appear, it should only be the once. And, depending on how you use the site, you may never see it.
I have deleted a bunch of people who joined in the past two days. If you are a real person and your account was deleted, you should be able to sign in again. But since five people with the username Porno1975 signed up, hopefully no genuine users will be affected.
As always, please email me if you have any trouble.
Cheers – Juz

NEW log-in and spam update

Hi folks

Just an update on some techie changes. We’ve installed a spam filter so you should notice less spam trying to sell you h0verb0ards.

You do not need to log in or be registered to comment. However, if you ARE registered and enter your name and email when commenting, the system should recognise you and your avatar (if you have one) will appear.

Send me an email if you are having trouble or notice spam creeping through.

Cheers

Admin Juz

Site Maintenance Completed

Site maintenance is now completed – we have migrated to a new host that can handle the increasing load. The cutover took a little longer than expected as we had a bit of a hitch with the uploaded photos transitioning across.

We’ll keep the site theme blue for a couple of days, just to differentiate between the old and the new site, as it could take up to 24 hours for everyone’s internet providers to update and direct you to the new site.

We’re still looking at improving some of the site features, such as email notification for comment replies. If you have any other  ideas to improve the site, please comment on this post and we’ll add them to the wish list. Like a comment if you support someone’s idea – it’ll help us identify the most popular ideas.

Cheers…

Are you having trouble registering?

If you are not sure how to register, read the below. If you want to see a step-by-step guide with pictures, click the tab at the top of the page called How To Register.

The first time you try to use this site you will be prompted by WordPress to create a username and provide an email. WordPress then sends you an email to check you are a human being, and so you can set up a password. If you haven’t received that email, try your spam/junk folder. Once you set up a password you can post your first comment. It may not appear straight away as I have to manually approve you for your first comment, but after that is all out of the way you shouldn’t have to fuss with any more emails or passwords. Sorry for the initial palaver but it keeps spammers away. If you are having any technical issues please send an email to the address listed under the Contact section and I will get my trusty IT Sidekick on it ASAP.

PLUS if you are having trouble with creating an avatar through Gravatar, give it 10 minutes, then refresh. It takes a while.

Cheers

Admin Juz
