nice job on the website! Good to see the sponsors getting recognition. You should send them all a link to the site so they can see they are getting the recognition they were promised...butter 'em up for next year.

Good point Reed.

Hey everyone,

In regard to the membership and info email addresses, people are bitching they aren't getting responses. I hate that email program. It sucks big time.

Why does it matter if we have a psas address... why can't we be simple and just have [email protected] or something? I want to get rid of one regardless, it's dumb in my opinion to have to check email on both of them.

Other input..... any other easier to understand program than hoarde so we can have the psas.org email?

I frankly could give a rip about the email program.... Josh? Any suggestions?

 

[Skimmy]

also, can we get the sponsor "port corals" banner on the donations list?? they donated several coral certificates.
thanks

 

[Ed Hahn]

Hey Guys, What would you think about giving Leng Sy a place. He is paying for his own travel and place to stay and giving us a presentation? Is that asking too much?

 

[jetaero]

Will add port corals.

As for thepsas address, PM chuck, and have him change it so that the email is a forward, rather than an inbox. So...

have it forward:

[email protected] -> [email protected]

It's usually not a good idea to just delete an address, as many only remember that.

IMO

[jesshimom]

Oh I dont think I want that... there is an incredible amount of spam, i've never seen so much in my life. I dont think anyone really remembers it, as it is all new people so if we put the correct address on our website, that's where they initially find it, or am I missing something??

Or do you mean to maybe forward to a yahoo account that is easier to deal with?

 

[jetaero]

I was thinking the latter.. but whichever you would like to do.

-Josh-

 

[jesshimom]

Ok, so if I set up a [email protected] email address, I could ask CHuck to set up the two hoarde accounts so they forward directly to yahoo? That sounds easy enough; although I'm pretty sure no one really "knows" the email addresses.

Other input..... any other easier to understand program than hoarde so we can have the psas.org email?

Horde can be easy to use once you get used to it, however you can use any email program you want that can access a POP mail account. Outlook, Outlook Express, anything like that if you want.

The pop mail server is thepsas.org and the smtp outgoing mailserver is thepsas.org

The userid is the email address you are wanting to access, and of course the password which you should know.

No need to use Horde if you don't want to use it.

Sorry if I butted in but wanted to present the options other than Horde.

Colleen,

Are you the only one checking it regularly? do you need some help checking the e-mail?

 

[jesshimom]

I haven't been checking it at all is the problem... well occasionally at best.

Thanks for the info Chuck, Randy I think the passwords are posted above; if you want to check it out and change it to something that owuld be great. I still dont really know how to change all that "stuff" CHuck is talking about...

 

[cwby416]

Ok I'm able to check the mail, but for some reason it wont let me reply to anything. I set the pop3 and smtp server to thepsas.org, but keep getting an error when I try to send anything. well for now, I am just clearing out the junk/spam and leaving the rest on the server.

~Randy~

 

[jesshimom]

See I hate it.

If that doesnt work, I vote for [email protected]

 

[MtnDewMan]

Requires smtp authorization to send. So make sure you set the smtp authorization meaning requires your username and password to send email.

 

[cwby416]

yay! I got it to work, thanks Chuck!

what do we want to add to the site

So I talked to Josh yesterday for a bit and he says things we want to add will be very easy now that he has the site transferred to something more manageable (or something close to that.. lol).

I'm looking for suggestions to enhance our site and get members looking there.

Here are some ideas I have:

:idea: A seperate page (button) for new members

:idea: A section members we want to acknowledge. I really want to thank some members from time to time. For example, I would like to write a thnk you to Joe and Bob who together bought enough raffles tickets to support a flight for a speaker. I freaked out at Joe and said what more tickets and he simply said, "hey I'm supporting the club." It kind of changed my outlook on the massive ticket purchasing.
:idea: A section for did you know... for example, who knew that Paris has been keeping tanks since she was 17, and has raised discus and everything in between. I never would have guessed. Thats the sort of fun reading, and they do NOT have to be big spectacular tanks.
:idea: I know Mark has discussed with Josh for a rotating banner on the top for the sponsors - is that underway or what do we need to do for that to occur?

The page needs some life, right now it is just words.... any ideas?


i want to stay away from member of the month - I dont want to have to search for someone to keep it going all the time.

What can you guys think of?

 

[jetaero]

I have the banner in there now... It's just commented out because I only got 5 sponsors added to it...
