There not, those are just ones that have registered BEFORE I closed registration, they kept their powder dry so to speak, so there will probably be a few more, and then no more.

If you look at the very bottom of the screen, you will see a link for "Theme" Choose "White Christmas" and you can leave it, or go back to regular. Happy Holidays

Until this site gets off the "SPAM Friendly" list, I activated both the email verification, AND a site admin has to approve the registration. That being said, it is easy to spot spam email addresses, and if someone wants to register bad enough, they will send a note through the system. I will keep an eye on it for the next few weeks and see how this works out. I'm also going to make a separate post where to find the contact us, and the reason.

Sukei has been home for almost a year, and I'm still fighting to get his "Passport" released" I'm kevinD, sorry, I quit trying to do different logins. For new users, if it were not for this site, and the info I got here Sukei would be dead in a Middle Eastern Country. He is here now. He was a victim of black operations in Africa, he was almost dead when I got him. Long story short, this site and Talon, helped give me the info to get him to the US. We broke a few rules on the way and should have bribed some folks a little bit more, but this was not to make money, it was to save a Grey. While I share in the international laws banning the imports of illegal grays, I also support those that are rescuing a Grey. There needs to be a law that supports rescue. Two edged sword, if you do that you encourage black market birds. I dont pretend to know all the answers to this..... All I know is I rescued Sukei. He sould be treated like a USA domesticated Grey. I digress.. By the way, thanks to Talon, Sukei is the guy you see in the left top corner of your screen.

I run 18 of these IPB websites, and none have this problem. I'm trying to figure out what the correlation is, I've checked everything imaginable. The only variable is the dns servers, they are controlled by another entity, but I digress. Again my last option is to restrict sign ups, but that is up to Talon. Just let me know. I'm sorry I cant do more

Ok, I have added a question that needs to be answered, and added a hook for some AI protection. It is set to the highest level. Also updating the skin.

Ok folks, I have implemented KeyCAPTCHA in this updated version, and it is TOUGH for a bot to get by it. If something does get by it, it will most likely be a human. See if it cuts down on the spam.

As we all know Grey's have a greater lifespan then we as humans do. Anyone given any thought on how to do that? For instance, my daughter said she will take Sukie when Im gone. Anyone given any thought about what happens when your gone? Just curious.

Maybe it is just tech folks that like to know why something broke, but...... This forum has been through MANY reiterations and database conversions over the years. Each conversion imports certain fields from the last database, and that was a field imported the last time. The question could not be answered because the database had no = to the question, which was left behind from a previous database conversion. Anyhow, thats why. When the field was deleted from the current DB, the problem went away. I know there are a few tech guys here also, so this is mainly for them, but I digress

Hey all, I renewed the license and upgraded the software core. Unfortunately, the skin folks had a change in management, and my lifetime membership seems to have gone by the wayside. It looks like the skin is compatible with the major upgrade, but you might find a glitch here and there. Let me know, the license is good through Oct 2018 Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

Ileo=KevinD Been real busy, but if the board has any issues, email me at kevin@maildeploy.com Ill check it. But everything looks good. Keep up the good work helping. Thanks Kevin

He is only 5 give or take a few months.

Under normal circumstances, all the posted advice is applicable, but nothing has changed, this just started abruptly. Nothing has changed in the last year and a half. I dunno. Will wait it out, cant last forever.

it is long and huge.......but it is mainly about the occasional bite. What if you got a guy that bites everyone and everything...... there is a question. And Sukie is so well treated there is no excuse for it.....he gets baths, and has his own humidifier and every kind of food there is, apples, corn on the cob, the high dollar multivitamin stuff, raw peanuts, he gets taken everywhere he wants to go, the wife spoils him rotten. What do you do with that?

I know a new format can be shocking, and sometimes I take things personal. I should have not taken them personal, but understood that it would be hard on everyone. I know new things are hard to except, and I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. But the truth of the mater was change or die. My father passed this week, and I got a new perspective on things. Sometimes it is not being right, but doing what needs to be done and helping people through the change. We are creatures of habits, same as our Grey's, and sometimes you need to have compassion and understanding. To those of you that were upset, I am truly sorry. But as Grey's do, slowly you will adapt. I didn't do these things for fun, they just needed to be done. K

I understand there was a spam problem. Found the offending permission issue, and I think I tagged all the forums for read only for guests, if I missed one let me know..

Would it surprise you my degree is in Emergency Medical sciences, but I cant sing worth a shit LOL, well my wife thinks so. I just got sucked into computer's while being bored on an offshore rig as a Paramedic. Would it also surprise you that the ability in psychiatric training could sometimes mean the difference between life and death? You have to size up a human being in milliseconds and decide if they will kill you or they can talk them down. Much more difficult then coding, With coding you can go back and correct it, life and death, no going back.

Kitty, there is no more important or no less important things we do or know. God gave us all individual skills and specialties. Just because one seems more complicated then other's, is because that is not our skill. I do not know what your skill is, but I'm quite sure you do it better then I.

No feed back LOL, so maybe someone can give me an opinion. Is this a reputable organization? Is there anyway to tell? There is no phone number or I cant find one. He is willing to drive from Ohio to visit and possibly rescue him. http://www.lonelygreyrescue.org/asite/Adoptables.html links to https://www.petfinder.com/bird/bingo-36400175/nj/woodbridge/lonely-grey-rescue-nj775/

Interesting, because it works the same way with DOD contractors. My brother, who worked for the same contractor as I did worked in testing and implementation has worked from his home for 15 years. Me, they put on a flight to the first place God never meant anyone to live LOL. Although In the defense and intelligence areas, I can see where picking apart a blown up hard drive is time sensitive. They however have moved on to SSD drives (Far easier to extract info from platters) and new encryption levels, and the technology increases exponentially, it is hard to keep up with it. If I were a betting man after another 1 or 2 years Edward Snowden won't be worth going after, because everything he knows will be out of date. This is purely speculation and not classified. (I hate having to qualify everything lol) But with what is going on in the business so to speak, better safe than sorry.

Well Ill tell you. I was not expecting any CSS help, apparently you have untapped talent (SRS) I just threw the sheet out there out of pure frustration. SRS pointed me in the right direction, and after finding the way this software works, found the issue. I just don't like designing sites, I like to keep the databases and servers working, along with the networking systems themselves, data forensics that's what we did over seas, they really didn't care what things look like, just the raw data and intelligence. You will find that a great many things depend on what you need, or what you think you need. As far as beating the the thing to death, sometimes that's what it came down to, your team depends on you. It carried over I guess, I don't like to lose. I suggest you may have other untapped skills and resources at your disposal, maybe you can avail yourselves of them. Sometimes they just don't like to come out and say what they can do. I don't mean just computers, but other untapped human resources of your members. Maybe with some thought, you can increase traffic, and Help The Grey's more. Just to throw things out, maybe a non profit organization for Grey's the very thing this site is based upon. Maybe a group to lobby Congress for the plight of the Grey's. I know everyone is busy with their lives, just trying to get by. Just a thought..........I'm just a former DOD contractor and IT guy. Im good at what I do. What are you guys good at doing? I Know what SRS is good at lol

Well perhaps the location is a problem, the only way I know to rescue a grey is to go to a place no one would go. Perhaps maybe some advise on how to do it. I googled the subject but there seems to be some conflicting information. Any thoughts?

No problem, have fun.

Guys I have a friend North Ohio in search of a rescue grey, We recently visited him with Sukei and he fell in love with him. He has a three story house, with plenty of room, and patience. He is home all the time, and can spend the time needed to rehab one. Thanks

Thanks SRSeedBurners incase you were wondering, there were two competing sheets, they both had to be changed, and synced.
