   Hello everyone!

   Welcome to the new GC. It should be exactly the same! It should look and function the same as it did. "So what's the big deal?" The entire back end of the website was revamped into a new framework that should allow new functionality to be added VERY quickly. This is a very good thing. There are many new features of the website that I'd like to get in place but revamping the entire website was daunting and the community could be blown to bits.... so... I'm going incremental.

   This is the first big step in what GC could become. Congratulations! You survived the transition. That was the hard part.

   If there are any parts of the website that aren't working then please send an email to global@globalconscious.com.

   Hopefully I got everything up and working. My fingers are crossed.

   A few changes...
   When sending a message to someone it will automatically complete with all the users in the system.
   The number of users online does NOT reflect the people whom are conecting via the screen saver. They are only users whom are on the website itself within the last 20 minutes.
   The message board is now completely revamped. I couldn't move the posts over because the old message board was designed around double login. (one account for the website and one for the message board.) It's single sign in on the website and it's all integrated. The look and feel of the message board isn't GC style but that'll be one fast fix in the coming weeks.

   thanks for all the fish.

   one thing that would be useful would be the ability to see which registered users are online. on the old messageboards there was a list at the very bottom which told who was online. I'm not sure if that's something you were planning on adding as you progress with the updates, but just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

   one issue I did find was the link to the "Consciousness - Global & Personal Consciousness" board in the messageboard section seems to be broken. was going to post a topic there and saw the link came up with an error message.

   the new stuff looks great, I especially like the addition of "Only show once" being checked by default and I also like how you are returned to the main GC screen after making a post.

   thanks for the great site :)

   zephy is right. I want to see who's online like we could before, or else HOW can I personally offer them halibuts? Hmm? tell me how? I cant GUESS who is online unless I wait for them to post but some people are shy. :)

   I cant edit the 'about me' section of my profile (can't get into it)... and I have changed, so it's not about me now, it's about me then! Oh no! ;)

    Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. The saving of the profile is now fixed. It was very simple and I'll put in who's online shortly.

    Who is online is now reflected in the stats box.

    I had NO idea that the users online was important until right this moment when it was brought up here. Are there any other important features you're missing or that should looked at immediately?

    wow, that's too cool Brad, even better than the old user list.

    one thing I've just noticed is I'm having trouble editing my profile and opening PM's. I use FireFox as my browser, and neither process works in it. I can edit my profile through Safari, but I still have problems with PM's in Safari. basically it will let me see that I have a message, who wrote the message, and what the subject line it, but when I click to open the message, it doesn't do anything. it also won't let me navigate the little blue tabs in the PM or Profile menus. not sure if this is something to do with how my browser uses Javascript, but as far as I can tell it's turned on properly and everything is updated.

    Are you still having trouble with editing your profile now? The PM problem is interesting b/c the technology is there and should work correctly. It's all set up right. it's the system not working right!

    Hey Brad,

    First of all thanks for keeping this site open and tolerating all of us.
    I hope you are feeling better and adjusting to a new diet and life style if needed.
    I can't open my private messages and I have liked having that feature very much.
    The message I would like to read today is from you the subject line says the new GC,
    but I can't open it to see the content.

    Thank you again for having us as your guests on your GC.
    My best to Kimberly and your cat and dog. meow woof.
    Remember to rest when you need to.

    Sorry Brad, neither are working. But if it's going to be too much of a headache to fix, remember, you and your health come first. We'll all still be around even if it takes ages to fix. - Don't want you having any relapses! xxxxx

    Thank you. It is no problem to fix. figuring out the root of why it's not working is relaxing to me in a way.

    I've got it going now in FF. Let me know if there are still problems in IE

    hi brad,

    I am using FF and I cant reply to messages; when I click in the box I cant type anything, other than that I really like how you can see sent messages, where before you couldnt!

    I like the improvements you've made like the linkable signatures to the profile on each post, and the users online list on the main GC page. :)

    thanks so much for everything you do!

    Halibut, what version of FF are you using? is it on a Mac or PC? I've tested messaging with the latest version 2.0 and it is working on my mac.

    Reporting back...visiting a friends PC > can open messages on Firefox.

    Hi Brad

    this is what it says in the "about" for my ff: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

    What happens is when I click in the field to reply to a message I get a grayed out cursor, and it wont accept any keystrokes. In IE 6 I get different things; I can click on the message (but its weird because it looks like theres no link but if I click on the message name it takes me to it so I can reply) and then I AM able to type in a response...

    I hope this helps. I am NOT complaining, I am just trying to help. :)

    is it just my computer or did the format for the message board get all funky all of a sudden? is this the way it's going to be from now on, or is this just a temporary side effect?

    I think it's just temporary effect. That will be fixed as the images slide off the previous message pages

    not to be a pain, but suddenly i can't open PM's again... still using FireFox, does it in Safari too... and errors pop up when using the new Avatar feature.

    I love the addition of avatars though :D

    Posted 8 months ago #

29. javalizard

    hmm. I removed the Ads which were causing some problems before. Do the PMs and Avatars work now? What is the error you're getting. You should email me directly with any errors: global@globalconscious.com

    the avatars are working fine now, they seemed to work before, just had lots of error messages popping up. but PM's still won't open. I can see the Subject and who sent it, but when I open it, I get a white screen.
