Dave2000 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Why can't I see anything on this page? I just get the header followed by a blank screen, with a message in the top right-hand corner telling me I'm not logged in. Then it doesn't accept my log-in.Yet following the link from here, I'm already logged in :-/Or is there a password / link I have to follow from Jason's email - which I haven't checked yet :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tr4tom Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 just a quick thought, how much does it cost per text to send?tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 No more than normal from what I can tell. If your txt's are free then they still will be. So I guess pictures will cost the same as ever too. I think Orange just brought it in that all pictures cost 30p to send but I've no idea about others.

Jason Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 You pay so it's dependant upon your service provider, if you're on pay as you go then probably about 12p a text, if you're on a contract then less. If you're sending pictures then more. All tariffs are different - the Club doesn't charge you and makes nothing out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Keith's on the case now, unfortunately a rather large and seemingly corrupt attachment (picture probably) caused the server to fall over. So he's writing a few size limit rules to prevent a re-occurance. Remember to refresh the page you're looking at (press f5) in order to view the most up to date page :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Not only will Team shorts be giving updates on the message board but we will also have a Live Blog with Live picture/Video updates! (network providing) the message board looks a superb idea and I know from last time it was a great Success!!See you all at the start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It should be working again now, if your messages aren't showing up it's probably because your e-mail address or phone number isn't registered. To check if this is the case click on the 'show unregistered box then the filter button and see if it shows up, if so the register procedure in the instructions should sort out. Please do tell Jason if his info is wrong though.I've now put a size limit on attachments as a particularly large one was clogging it up earlier. Currently it's set to 1mb but I may need to tweak it. Please do carry on testing it as much as you can, it's better to get any bugs resolved now than on the run.Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Following last night's flurry of activity I have now collated all the amendments and additions to mobile numbers and Keith has uploaded them to the registration database.There will be no further central registration of mobiles. If you need to add a mobile you need to follow the instructions I emailled out earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
