There is a new journal tag called whisper, it is written like this

[whisper]Here is something to whisper, you could include images or anything [/whisper]

.

[whisper]He is a live example that only members can see[/whisper]

Whenever you put anything is whisper tags, only logged in members of the site can see it. This provides a secure way to say things that you only want members to see. It compliments the

[hide]hide this text[/hide]

tag which allows you to hide text from anyone accept your self. This allows you to publish noptes about your journal, that only you want to see.

[size=m]Journal Forwarding[/size]
Since june 19th 1625 people clicked on the little envelope at the bottom of a journal entry to forward a journal entry to someone else via email but only two people actually sent one. I wonder why. Is it too tricky, does nobody understand it, or is it not a worthwhile feature?

The site student loan total has hit $766,768 and could soon reach $1 million. If you are a site memeber and haven't filled this out, be sure to include your student loans in the total by clicking on the (loans) link in your control panel.

I "dried out" one year of estrip chat and turned it into an html file of the whole year. I might break it into installments later but for now it is on one page



Also, student loan reports are almost up to $700,000. If anyone is not included, don't forget to add your total to the list by clicking on the (loan) link in your control panel. We are aiming for at least $1 million.

Well, now that we found a topic journalist, the next most important thing is a server admin and/or a reliable local hosting facility. Here is the link to the official request for a new home/help.

We are desperately seeking a server techie to look at the sites server and tweak it so that it runs better/faster. The site code base has been optimized considerably and it can be optimized a bit more, but I think perhaps I have the server settings wrong as I have no idea what i am doing with the server when it comes to scalability, memory management, etc.



We are really desperate here for server help, because there are a lot of new features that are waiting to be released for the site, but server optimization needs to be dealt with first.

We could also just move the site to a local location where (e:paul) is not in charge of serevr amdininstration. Right now it is housed in Vancouver and I would prefer to have it in Buffalo. We currently pay about $40.00 month, so we would be willing to match that on a local entrepreneur who can match or beat the speed we are at.

To make it a little easier, we also own a nice dual 2.6Ghz xeon server that we could use if anyone has a colocation facility in Buffalo.
