a Little remodel

As you probably can see I did a little remodel on the site - moved some tabs around, and added some new tabs. The site is still just as easy to use, but is slightly different and may take a few minutes to get use to the change.

OH one more thing I would like to implement is one of my ideas that if you don't have access to a server you will beable to run the script from my server or anyone's server who will allow you to run it - the problem is I think that it will be a ma...

HamOhio Email Address

I figure out how to get everyone a HamOhio.com email address again!
It will be your call sign at HamOhio.com - and can be accessed via the Web or POP3
I have to setup these email addresses personally, so it might take me a day or so to do it. If you want a HamOhio.com email address just let me know - KD8BXP (at) HamOhio.com and I will email you the setup instructions.

I added a few fields for new users

This afternoon, I added a couple of new fields for new users to file out - Hopefully (which had not been a problem yet), I can uses the new fields to keep the spammers/hackers out of the site - One is a required field the others are optional - the required field is Your Call Sign - the other is Tell us a Little more about yourself?
These can be found under your settings on the right side of the screen.

I am sorry I haven't been around much lately - there have been a few things going on keeping me away from our site!
AND probably will keep me a while just a while longer - and I know I am behind on emails as well - I have gotten them all and read them, but just either haven't found the time, or whatever to respond...

There are several things keeping me away right now -

The biggest is my kid is prego - if you follow me on twitter you know I've had her out at the hospital for hours at a time in… Continue

It should work for most browsers, as Ive tested it on about 5 different phone models, using the phone's standard browser, Opera Mini and Blackberry Browser. It seems to r… Continue
