We now also tweet the titles of new posts as they are made to the forums. Follow us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/forumosa
I had to further modify the hack so that Private Forums are not tweeted. If you feel other forums should be excluded, please drop us a line at admin (at) forumosa.com

Look out for Blog posts on our Twitter account – twitter.com/forumosa
We have updated our Google calendar code and embedded it in a few more places on the forums: the front index page, the event sub-forums, and the main feedback forum
If you have a Google calendar and would like your events to appear on ours, follow these steps:
First, make the calendar public. To do this, with the main calendar page up
1. Click the down arrow next your calendar’s name in the My Calendars box at left
2. On the dropdown, select Calendar Settings
3. On the [your calendar name here] Details page, select the Share this calendar tab
4. Check the box for Make this calendar public
5. If you don’t want to share details, check the box for Share only my free/busy information
Next, get a URL for your calendar. For a single calendar, it’s simple:
1. On the [your calendar name here] Details page, select the Calendar Details tab
2. Under Calendar Address, press the HTML button
3. Copy the URL to the clipboard.
Now, email to us that URL. If we agree it should be added to the Forumosa Google Calendar, we will re-embed ours in the forums with your calendar included. Then, you will only have to update your Google calendar for your events to appear in our Google calendar
These steps are based on this post in Google’s Calendar support area

www.flob.me is designed to help you find posts and topics on Forumosa. Visiting that site shows you a simple Forumosa search box – the results are presented on the forum itself. But the real purpose of the website is to provide a short web address (URL) to the forums posts and topic threads. If you know the Post ID or Topic ID of a posting in Forumosa, you can reach it directly by typing flob.me/p88888 or flob.me/t8888 into your browser, where p88888 and t8888 are the post ID and Topic ID, respectively. With a short cut URL, you can twitter posts you see on Forumosa easily into the abbreviated editor window

With the latest upgrade of the phpBB software came built-in RSS feeds for every forum. RSS Links that you can use in your RSS readers and RSS-friendly browsers now appear in the Sitemap at the bottom of the forums.

I’ve added more links to make the Women’s Forum more visible to potential new Women’s Forum group members. In addition to adding permanent links at the top of the forum, a notice has been added to the error message one might see if one tries to go to forumosa.com/womens but is not yet a member of the Women’s Forum Group.

Hi folks
I’m upgrading the forums to the latest version of phpBB3.
If there are any major problems along the way, I may ask our web host to restore the latest 24 hour back up of our website. This means that anything posted on Forumosa after the last backup will be lost.
Be well
gus.

I’ve added 2 new BBCodes to the forum – one for showing YouTube videos and the other for showing Flash video from other websites. When you are at the video websites, they often have Embed Code, which is the web link (URL) to that specific video. Position this embed code between the new BBCodes in your post and the video will be embedded into Forumosa
