Raspbernie Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Okay, gang. It's up. But, please bear with me as I update/move/shift stuff around. This forum is new to me, too. There are loads of things it can do, and together we'll figure it all out. Until then, poke around, click on stuff and discover what it offers. Also, click on your Profiles and make adjustments/additions there, too. This is just the first of many improvements I'm making here at EricCarmen.com -- Enjoy!

Lew Bundles Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 How do I earn more stars?...I have only 3....I would have liked 6(since 5 is the limit)?... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Bernie, possible glitch alert. In the forum where you can ask Eric a question, under the topic 'Eric, did you ever wish you could change a lyric' (paraphrased), when you look at the topic, the last reply is from me- a few days ago. When you look at the home page, over on the right side, it shows that Eric posted on this subject today- yet his post is not there! I want to read his response :grumpy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondeVelvet Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hi Bernie!Everything looks good, except I have a question about our personal messages. Are our past messages gone? I have a few I've been saving for sentimental reasons, because they are special to me. Are our archived personal messages gone, with all of us starting completely anew?Thanks,Kim :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Not sure about the Personal Messages. Not sure about a lot of things. Let me poke around a bit this morning to see what's what. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECatw Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Bernie, is there a way to adjust the time? I tried to click on the Eastern US and then clicked on Save Changes but it keeps defaulting to GMT+1. Thanks! Suzanne Oops! Never mind, I finally got it to work. I guess it'll take some time to get used to this new board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Suzanne, It worked for me. Maybe you need to clear your browser cache for it to work on your end? Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECatw Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I had to add the EC favorite album and song first on my profile. I guess the new forum it erased it? Once I put that in, saved that and then changed the time and saved that again. It was OK. Sometimes I take the round about way to get it done but at least it works! LOL. Thanks!

Raspbernie Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 That "Favorite Album" and "Favorite Song" preference is a MANDATORY for all Members. I set it up to sift out the spammer requests for Membership. Russian computer hacks don't usually can't name their favorite Raspberries tune.

Kirk Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Comrade Bernie, favorite tune- It's Cold Outside Signed, Kirkolenko in Siberia 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I used to have to weed through a dozen or so spammers every week. Now, I can immediately tell if potential New Members are friend or foe. The spambots usually answer a question like "Favorite Eric Carmen Song" with: "dhjwyjadhkekrgj." And, THAT'S not on any album I have! Thanks to those two questions I never have to wake up to find posts about Viagra here on EC.com. Unless, they've been posted by Lew, Tony, or James, that is.

Lew Bundles Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 VIAGARA?...Hey, Bernie...WHAT'S UP with that?...Trying to get a RISE out of me?...I'm just an old SOFTEE at heart...(I hope you havent figured out the warning system yet...I wouldnt want to get thrown off the board and get STIFFED out of this)...For future reference, dont link me with James, Tony or any other Tom, DICK or Harry...I can STAND on my own merit... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elle4ec Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Bernie, Thanks for all your work updating the site! Like Kim, I was wondering the same thing about personal messages.. I had copied some posts and even written some topics I had considered posting, that I had stored in my personal message box,, I also had some messages I was saving also, that I really did not want to be erased. Any help you can give will be appreciated. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Existing Personal Messages seem to be one of the very few things that did not transfer over to the new Board. Still looking into whether they can be retrieved or not. Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Been away, haven't seen you for a while, how've you been...? Quick, name that song! (No, it's not Eric.) Anyway, hi friends. I've been out and about and working overtime and running kind of ragged. So it's catch-up time.... I especially want to finally finish my "In Hindsight" posts --- still to come: Starting Over and Raspberries Best (Featuring Eric Carmen). But first, a question for Bernie... I might be totally missing it, but how come I don't see a place to click on (and write and receive) PMs anymore? Apologies if it's right in front of me (it probably is).

LC, I can answer this for you. Go into your own profile and at the down arrow there will be a list of items to choose, one of which is PM.

Catnip Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I lost my very first personal message that I was saving also. It was a sweet welcome to the site. <3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
