RBRR Message Diary

[Jason]

I have just sent out an email to all entrants with instructions.

As in previous years, there will be an online message diary to enable website readers to keep up to date with the progress of the run.
Message can be sent by crew members from a mobile phone using SMS, MMS or e-mail. MMS and e-mail messages can include photo, video or audio content.

The diary is available on the Club Triumph website at http://club.triumph.org.uk/rbrnews

or is available as a WAP page for mobile phone users at http://club.triumph.org.uk/rbrwap

Please do not make the numbers available on-line or we will get spammed with inappropriate messages.  :-/

:-)
I've had a few mails bounce back so I'm now looking for working email addresses for a few of the entrants and will resend. If you haven't had an email from me, please get in touch now.

[Jason]

Teams who's email addresses I haven't mistyped and I need new ones for are
Team 117 - Rob Swift & Mark Deacon
Team 95 - Dave Kirk, Kelvin Jones & Ian Pearce
Team 12 - Craig Bennet & Bradley Lourens
Team 91 - Tom Key & Tom Bamford
Team 24 - Nick Jackson, Ray Hunt & Andrew Gatehouse

I've also had several "spam blocker" messages so you might want to check your filters! I have resent the email to all those who blocked the original.

Bill G will be leaving for the UK pretty soon, probably best to use my CT email address for any further updates for team 44,
Cheers,
Bill.

I'll ping you the instructions now, he's landing at 11am tomorrow. Any idea what time you're going to collect him from my place tomorrow? I need to be out and on a train to Atlas Mission Control in Nuneaton in the morning. Don't want to have to leave the old boy on the doorstep :-)

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

[Jason]

Hmmm - looks like Keith is fiddling? Leave it with me

[Jason]

It's back up - try it now :-)

[Nick Jackson (2)]

My e-mail address is nick@jacksonfamily.org.uk

[Jason]

Cheers Nick, you should have just received an email from me

[tr4tom]

just a quick thought, how much does it cost per text to send?


tom

[ferny]

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]

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.

[Alex]

Ok so I'm thick is an SMS a normal text?

[ferny]

SMS - Short Message Service. Normal txts.

MMS - Multimedia Messaging Service. Pictures, videos, etc.

[tr4tom]

[Alex]

Cheers Ferny your much brighter than you look ;)....but my lights are brighter(till they break again).

I don't know if Keith has set it so it updates on a regular basis rather than as soon as it receive a txt. It used to be instant then I started to have to wait over night for it to appear. I kept meaning to ask but forgot.

Keith?



alex - cheers. ;D

[Jason]

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 :-)

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!

[Keith]

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.

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.

[Tim Bancroft]

Big hand for Keith and Jason.

Well done chaps.

[Caroline]

Yup - well done!
