It has been a long day not only today but the last couple of days. debugging, uninstalling, installing, upgrading in order to make the news magazine and radio show better. Proboards has started the upgrade of their own software for the all the forums hosted on their site. In order to save some money I recently changed my internet provider and still evaluating whether I have sacrificed too much mps for uploading and downloading for small savings. I am considering switching back to my old provider. Also I am considering embedding a forum on importantnewsforyou.com

Along with everything I have been dealing with the last few days, there is a new version of this forum that I am beta testing. Cosmetically it looks nicer and easier to find the board you are looking for. However there is a few bugs I have found. I have been discussing the matter with proboards support. I won't be putting the link to the new forum up on importantnewsforyou.com at least not until I am sure there won't be any problems visiting and posting to the forum.

Hi all last night I recorded the first of a series of interviews with Poland's sci fi darling Madlen. She will be educating us with research she has done regarding the origins of the universe and who the first races were. The first interview will air on the "in the news now" page next week.

I am having some difficulties with the new internet provider and it is looking like will have to switch back to who I had previously. It is going to take a few days before the transition back occurs so I won't be able to update as much as I normally would. Also I am uncertain about the new look for forum. I have been beta testing the beta version. It is a cleaner and easier to navigate look but the beta is demonstrating some serious flaws. I am looking into alternatives where I won't have to use a host site for the forum. Although the flaws may be related to the slugginess of this new internet provider. Will have to see after I transition back to the other ISP provider.

I am using a workaround for the short term until can transition back. Although don't like having to compromise because it departments for ISPs can't help their customers. It is penalizing both you and myself for their mistakes. I was trying to help young entrepreneurs with their new business which I thought had a viable alternative to who I was using previously for internet service. However when the alternative is not up to the what was promised to me I don't stay and return to what works because I care about how I bring to you the news and discoveries important for our society.

Now that I have determined the cause and what need to do to resolve the net problems I have been experiencing I have been able to test out the new version for this forum. For the most part the new look will be fine. There is a problem trying to upload a picture for your profile. You can use a photo of your own and won't have to settle for one of the proboard images.

Some progress everyone my internet service will be transitioned back to the previous provider next week. I have been working on making the videos for the interviews more visual. When I can will include more pictures and other images during an interview. I could repeat the same 2 images throughout an interview but it would drive you and I crazy having to look at the same images over and over again. I am thinking of alternatives instead of resorting to that. If can't right away there will only be images at the beginning of the interview than black. At least that will allow you to do other things online while listening.

It has been a busy and as I mentioned before very tense and stressful. I have scheduled another couple of interviews to record. Also interviewing others to be contributing writers for the news magazine. importantnewsforyou.com continues and continues to grow and improve. As part of that growth I would greatly appreciate any donations. All money goes towards the web hosting and other expenses related to the operation of the news magazine and radio show. The donation button located on the "in the news now" page the right side of the page. Thanks for your support.

I am so glad those problems are over with now. I have new interviews scheduled for At This Time radio. Also interviewing new writers each with varied backgrounds and interesting experiences.
I will be introducing the new look for the forum in about a month. The beta testing of the new version that proboards surprised all of us forum admins with has proceeded of and a few bugs have been squashed.

Hi everyone winter is almost over and with it soon being spring it is time to think about making changes and doing some things differently.
First the forum will soon have a new look. The beta testing of the new software went well and you will definitely like the new look. It will be easier to find your way around the forum as well.
Second as you know I have official pages not only on Google Plus and Facebook but myspace and bebo too. I have decided to stop updating the myspace and bebo pages. I will be removing the links from the news magazine in the next few days. Both myspace and bebo has virtually no activity on their sites these days. Also myspace keeps introducing new looks to their site but nothing ever improves.
Google Plus is doing ok so I will continue to update as have been that page. As for facebook there has been some problems with others being able to post on the wall. Either the post appears in some strange place on the page or it gets marked as spam and I have difficulty unmarking the post. I will be disabling the ability for anyone to post to the wall. Only admins will be able to. I am promoting some of the contributors to the news magazine to admin status so that they can post updates on what they are doing or working on. Also can post additional content as follow up to something they recently talked about on the news magazine. Only posts by someone who is an admin will show up on the wall with no problems.
Attention to those of you who I have promoted as admin when you post to the wall your profile name doesn't appear as the poster. You will have to include in the post who you are. You will be posting as "At This Time the news magazine"

Those of you who are admin now on the official facebook page for the news magazine you are only content creator which means the ability to post to the wall of the page. The role of manager of the page is only myself.
I have stopped updating the bebo and myspace pages. Both those sites are dead with nothing happening on either. The official pages are on google plus, facebook, and twitter.

Hi all just wanted to let you know on April 29 the forum will be upgraded by proboards to v5 software. I was beta testing the new forum and at first there were a few problems those problems have been dealt with. By the time the upgrade occurs at the end of the month the transition should be smooth and the new look will make navigating the forum boards easier
