Some more information regarding the site


Site Info March

Staffan has delegated the main responsibility for the poetbay.com site to me. My first action is to give you a little bit more information on what is going on. The current prioritized list of actions is as follows:
1. Ensure technological stability
2. Make sure editorial parts are updated
3. Improve current functionality
4. Add new functionality

As part of point one above, we are currently working to improve uptime, stability and speed by switching to another service provider and upgrading hardware. We are also doing what we can to improve the code.

There are not yet any decisions regarding points 2, 3 and 4 above, so please comment below, or message me with suggestions.

Welcome aboard!
Very happy to see that the poetbay will keep on going and my suggestion is that you simply put the same features here that there is on Poeter!
Nicer layout, better functions....
And I agree with Rob, it would be nice to be able to preview the comment before posting.

HI , Klas , it's Caroline Grace , who is haveing problems paying to be a suporter meber. She has a cry fore help on the ''bay'' : ''please help me!''. So if you can send her an Email adviseing her how to pay '' pal'' , maybe. Her post on the '' bay'' will explane better than I can , Klas. I hope you can help her.

As fore me , If it is posabul , could the messages we resaeve , not be limated , as I fore one would like to keep them. Rather than have the panfull desitan , to deside on what I can let goo , deleat . I think many mebers would like to keep more of the messages they reseve. I hope that you will be abul or deide to let us keep them.

I am not the only dyslixic , who is a meber of '' the bay '' , so if posabul could a spelcherker be a part of '' the bay''? I use fierfox , it has a spelcheker. But I tend to couse it to need a lay down at trimes , as it cant always get close to understanding my dysleic spelings! (: while yet :).

I feeil a spellcheker may encurige more dyslixic's to joine '' the bay''. Encurige my felow dyslezics to joine and post to '' the bay '' . I can but hope this will prove posabul.

Thank you fore what you are both doing to the sight . It's like spring is now on and in '' the bay '' .

All the best to you both , Ken ( D Williams )

It would be nice at least to be able to preview one's comments before posting them, and if possible also to be able to edit them after posting. This is an attractive feature of neopoet.com. Thanks for your attention!

Hello all!
Thanks for your comments. I will do my best to speed up the process, and I am aware that there are people that have offered themselves to help us with the site. I am grateful to that. Even if things are moving slowly now in the beginning, I will try to do my best to improve things here on the site.

A.R.Glasgow: I am sorry that you are feeling this way, but I think things will be differently soon.

Ken d Williams: Could you message me with more information on your problems?

Aliena: The picture looks alright to me. Could you specify what your browser and operating systems are?

Night soul woman: Good suggestions! I will look into it as soon as possible.

Most welcome, Klas!

I have been a member since the very beginning and, even though I am not publishing so much right now, I consider poetbay almost as my home: here I've met so many people who are now among my very best friends.

I hope you are seriously willing to dedicate some care to this wonderful website and community of people, and I am sure that everybody here on the Bay is ready to support you!

One very little, but irritating, technical problem I've had for a long time (and probably also other members) is this:
a couple of days after being approved and published, my profile picture "shrinks" to a thin vertical line. You can see that on my profile page. This happens all the time, no matter which picture I load.
I'd be very happy if you had the time to fix this bug, one of these days (I understand, though, that you probably have more urgent things to do about the website, right now)

Good luck!

First of all: Welcome to poetbay:)

Please make sure that editors choice
gets updated, at least every third day.

I will suggest that everybody here on
poetbay message the appointed person
or person whenever they read a poem
that they like and then can that person
responsible for this part of the function
send it to you and you can renew the
first page.

*appointed person= poetbay members
that want to become a part of this
important part of poetbay:)
I would like to become an editor

Another suggestion is to email all the
inactive members about the New Owner
and assure them that things are getting
better and encourage them to take a look
by themselves. You can also add an extra
offer: Become a poetbay member now
pay for 12 months and be a member for
14 months.
