New Text and Audio Chat

Well, the secret is finaly out. The new v1.0 (E:Audio) and Text Chat is working. You can access it by clicking on the Chat button at the top of the page. Using this you can have free conference calls with your elmwood friends. You will need a mic to speak and speakers to listen. Alternatively, it lets those of you without sound capabilities simply text chat with each other.

This Audio Chat is running of the buffalo.kicks-ass.org server. If the server is off the chat room will not work. However, it is on most of the time and is the same server the radio runs on. If its off its because I forgot tho wake up and turn it on.

Elmwood Craziness for v1.8

So we pushed ahead to v1.8. I know v1.7 only had a day but the code changes were definately significant enough for another version change. Now you can upload one image to a new journal entry without having to go through your image library. I also reconfigured the update page so it looks nice.

Don't forget to add your new userSound to your userPic!

Ver 1.7 Super Update

I could not sleep and decided to add one more requested feature. It is such an improvement that I am seriouly thinking about making it v1.8 tomorrow.

You now can add personalized voice and music messages for people who read your journal. Simply upload a wav, mid, or mp3 file up to 125k into the sound upload box on your update page. The user will then hear your file play when they click on your userPic.

Once you upload a file, your userName will have an "-S" next to it to alert readers that a new message has been added to your userPic. The system is the very same as with the "*" for journal updates.

I hope everyone enjoys this. Some people might just play music. Others, can leave political messages. I am seriously considering using mine as a sort of internet update as to where I am at that day. Kind of like an answering machine message.

More to come on this tomorrow. Simply click on the UserPics to hear a soundFile play. The Elmwood and Paul journals both have an S. I hope to see more Ss when everybody else wakes up. hahaha

Down Time and New Features

The site was down from 11:25 to 11:45 PM due do a mix up with a bad variable. Its back, nothing lost. Sorry about the inconvenience.

For those of you who signed up before last week, there will be a new REFERRAL BOX on your update page. Please select the user or source that referred you to the site. Once you select your referral and click the "submit referral" button, that form will no longer appear on your update page.

Users who recently signed-up will not be prompted, as they already answered that question when joining. Thank you for your time.

Your Update page also finally allows you to change your password. A feature requested by many users.

On a sideNote the site is totally functional on a TMobile sideKick. It automatically detects that it is being accessed from the sideKick and reformats the site accordingly. Chris also reported sucessfully updating his journal using his palm pilot connected via his bluetooth cellphone.
