  1. I can see both those pages you mentioned, but there are some families missing, such as the Kennedys, and I cannot see Dahl the galah anywhere.

     

    In any case, I'd like to keep my budgerigars if that's possible. They are Australian birds, after all.

  2. So sorry for the downtime this week. It's a long story, but basically the database was corrupted when the host decided to move server. We had 5 minutes notice of the move. The host hadn't made a recent backup, and I'm afraid the only one available was for May 2011.

    I'm amazed that they can actually do that. If it were me, I'd back up the database first, then copy the database so that if the copy were corrupted the original would still be there, and I'd only delete the original when the copy on the new server was proved to be correct. That is the way we did things when I was working for a large international bank, where losing a database could cost the firm a large amount of money, and that is the way it should always be done.

     

    Thank you for your efforts in getting back what you could. It is appreciated.

     

     

  3. I like it. Pardon me for my stupidity, but how do I go to the first item that I haven't read in a thread?

     

    ETA: What has happened to episode ratings? Ep 5777 has had 4 ratings, but there are no stars for the ep. in the Australian Episode Discussion listing, whereas other episodes do show stars there.

  4. Hehe thank God I'm in QLD where we're different and we don't have to worry about all this time change nonsense!

    You do if your company does business with people in other states that do observe daylight savings.

     

    Are there some places near the border that can get TV from NSW as well as from QLD? That way they could watch Neighbours twice every day :whistling:

  5. While we are on the subject of the board, shouldn't the very first page be updated, as it is just a tad out-of-date?

     

    NeighboursFans.com is launching soon.
    Well, it must have launched because that is on the page http://www.neighboursfans.com/ I.e. the NeighboursFans.com home page.

     

    Don't forget that Neighbours moves to Channel Five on Monday 11th February.
    If you have forgotten and are in the UK, how are you getting your daily Neighbours fix (no, don't answer that question)?

     

    If it's a matter of people finding the time, I know someone who can help.

  6. ... I ... introduced subs after some encouragement from other people.

    I am amazed by the small size of the range of subscriptions on offer. The most expensive subscription is GBP6.50, which will just about buy one non-alcoholic cocktail in this month's favourite watering hole near my office in Canary Wharf. Other sites that I am a member of (no names, ...) let people donate much more.

     

    I would like to suggest the following "enhancement" to the range:

    • A pair of subscriptions costing GBP12.50, which are otherwise identical to the GBP6.50 subscriptions.
    • A pair of subscriptions costing GBP25, which are otherwise identical to the GBP6.50 subscriptions.
    • A pair of subscriptions costing GBP50, which are otherwise identical to the GBP6.50 subscriptions.
    • ...

    The idea of making these subscriptions identical to the existing highest-value subscription is that the extra cash becomes an "anonymous donation", so nobody will be embarrassed by things appearing saying "Look at me, ain't I great, I donated a hundred quid this year".

     

    You might not get any takers for these levels of subscription, in which case you haven't lost anything, but then again you just might, which must be a good thing.

  7. It surprised me when it was mentioned it was 2 years ago I brought the subs in...I remember that I had the choice to pay the board hosting or buy food, so I ended up eating cereal and rice for about a week so I didn't have to buy any shopping to help pay for it...but I got desperate and needed something else to eat so introduced subs after some encouragement from other people.

    As somebody who joined only recently, I would like to say this

    • Someone has to pay for the board's hosting. It's not fair that that should fall on one person's shoulders.
    • In the short time that I have been a member I have got a lot of enjoyment from the board.
    • I would like to see the board continue for the forseeable future, certainly for as long as Neighbours is broadcast.
    • With that in mind, I am prepared to do something to help defray the costs.

     

    You can expect to see a subscription from me shortly. My only problem is which one to choose.
