Anal Fissure Support Forum

[Deleted User 5]

Hey everyone!  I apologize profusely for the sudden and unexpected "demolition"  of the boards graphics and themes and hope I have managed to get it back under control.  Apparently Photobucket now wants money for a certain amount of bandwidth and we exceeded that bandwidth here, sometimes over the past couple days or maybe just within the past couple hours, since I recieved their warning via e-mail today.  So for now we are stuck with the plain vanilla offering from Forumotion.  
I hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience for anyone needing support from this terrible malady which I endured several years ago.   Maybe one of our new admins can find a way to make the look of the board more delightful in the near future;  unfortunately I cannot be here on any regular basis anymore but I do try and keep an eye on this wonderful place of healing, information, and most of all support because I recall how much this board helped me and meant to me and I hope it continues to help all AF sufferers for a LONG time to come.  Again, sorry but if you want to throw a shoe at anyone, throw it a Photobucket.com, LOL...

I wondered what had happened!!

Owmybum, it really is a tedious thing to set up all the graphics and now that Photobucket wants money, I don't know what can be done.  I am sure the graphics could be hosted somewhere else for free but it's been many a year since I did any of this stuff, lol.  Its a CHORE!!

Ah ha. I wondered what happened.
I am a long time member of a hobby forum which is easily run off voluntary contributions. Contributions are transmitted via PayPal. Perhaps that could be done here for this invaluable service.

Thanks so much igrik. It's really not that hard, it's just a matter (as I'm sure you know) of hosting each individual graphic and then assigning them their "spot" on the website. The actual graphics are still on my photobucket so I can scoop them up or email their links to you. A person who is no longer here bought the rights to the images from an artist in Scotland, so if you want to use the same images that is OK. OR if the current boardies want a different theme, then that would involve procuring new images and their rights. In any event, I will message you with my e-mail so you can contact me when you like about this.
Now66, it is really not a matter of money to keep the board going, it was just a matter of the web site that hosted our images which gave this board a different (and happy) look than most of the other forumotion boards. So we are good. It sounds like igrik can host any future images for us for free!!

Hi,
Yes, you would need to transfer all images to me. And also give some access to admin panel to reconfigure image sources or even I can do some code changes if required.
Anyway lets get in touch in emails or skype

Thanks Kim. I do know that running a forum can take a great deal of attention. I do much appreciate the efforts with this one.

You are very welcome, Now66.  Let me thank all the current administrators here and you guys now have a new admin, igrik1989, who probably knows more about these type of forums than any of us save maybe neuropthicguy who isn't around anymore, but then, neither am I, lol.  Irgrik is on the case and soon we'll have either the old look back or something new and special for all you boardies.  I am trying to get in touch with the artist who's work graced our board up until a few days ago to make sure we can still use her work, but if not, igrik1989 is going to set you all up something else just as good if not better!
