Hi Folks,
Last couple of months no email is delivered by the email option in MyCollection because of a mallfuction in the email server settings.
A user discovered it and send Arthur a message about it. After testing I could discover the mallfunction. I set the right settings so the website can email again.
And if someone thinks, why on earth I didn’t get any response when I contacted a collector for trading, well, here is your answer
Not one complaint. We freaks are eternally indebted to you, you won’t hear us complaining!!![/quote:lpqexc09]
*bows with a blush* (to also the others)
This is always a considderation. As private project and as a non payed service people are temped to accept such *as is*. Never the less, the design of the SPfreaks Collection (the website application itself) is always work in progress. Not only in new features or changes, but also in improvement of the website. It’s never realy done. I have to trust in my own design, observation and opinion, that of Arthur, but also on those of the visitors. I’m gifted to design with the user in thought, instead of showing off my qualities as designer and programmer and overload the user with usefull (and in many cases not usefull) or (not) practical features in a overwhelming interface. Usefull, simple and the content hold a prominent place – not the many gadgets you can build into a website.
KISS – Keep It Stupid Simple
Some minor changes can sometimes lead to a better user experience. So please manillascissor and others, be objective and (possitive) critical. If you see aspects that could need improvement because of whatever reason, I take every one serious and discuss it with my brother so it could lead to adjustment, new development (or sometimes rejection).
Arthur may be the owner of SPfreaks, it’s his dream and I helped him build it to what it is today. But, without *you* as visitor, participant and contributer this site would be an empty shell (dust in the binairy wind – to freely quote Kanses).
One side note: This forum is not my design, only the layout is re-made to match the general style of SPfreaks. I do not improve this forum, it is supported *as is*. Only bugs in layout will be fixed if I made a mistake in the templates. The SPfreaks Collection however is complete my own techniscal design, programming and implementation. If you have any remarks about it, even in the form of complains, please let me know!
You know what: the best compliment I get is your fisit and use of this website! So thank you all!
How can I delete it? I was in a hurry it was my last one entered-doesn’t help that i was on the phone too..[/quote:20enq7v9]
Just follow these instructions:
[list:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Sign on into http://www.spfreaks.com[/*:m:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Open the Collection Index (homepage: The Collection)[/*:m:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Select My Collection option in de filter section[/*:m:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Goto the page or adjust the filter so the item is shown in the list[/*:m:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Click the option "Edit options" of the item you want to delete of your collection
[/*:m:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Uncheck the "I own this" option
[/*:m:20enq7v9]
[*:20enq7v9]Save your options[/*:m:20enq7v9][/list:u:20enq7v9]been waiting for this for 15 years.
[/quote:egevqp9t]Then you have collected a large amount of items in the past 15 years, so I expect to see a huge My Collection here on http://www.spfreaks.com/
when i surf to http://www.spfreaks.com/ i still get an "under construction" message.
http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=HOMEPAGE works fine, but i’m certain that most people use the shorter http://www.spfreaks.com to access the site.[/quote:2z798kfw]
I suggest, if you are a windows user, to do next thing:
– Open Internet Explorer or whatever browser you are using
– Navigate to http://www.spfreaks.com/ (and recieve the wrong page)
– In Internet Explorer press Ctrl-F5 (both keys on the same time)Ctrl-F5 is a reload of the page, but you force Internet Explorer to read the page from the website again instead of using the local cache (Temporary Internet Files).
If this not works:
– Open Internet Explorer or whatever browser you are using
– Find and use the option "Delete Temporary Internet Files" (you do not have to delete cookies etc.)In Internet Explorer 7:
– Tools / Internet Options
– Browsing History: Delete…
– Temporary Internet Files: Delete Files…– Retry to navigate to http://www.spfreaks.com/
If this not works:
– Close all open Internet Explorer or whatever browser you are using
– Click Start
– Click Run
– Enter: ipconfig /flushdns
– Click OK
– Open Internet Explorer or whatever browser you are using
– Retry to navigate to http://www.spfreaks.com/If this not works – you are out of options
Hope you didnt have to work TOO insanely hard to get everything up and running again.[/quote:11byhokg]
Well, managing a very demanding and full time job, being maried and having 3 kids in the ages of 3, 10 and 14 (all girls) the hardest thing is to get spare time. As the late evenings and part of the night were the only time to work on this problem, you could say it was not easy to do. It took around 16 hours to install, restore/reconfigure/upgrade, starting at monday and being online on thursday morning (local time) – I may be proud on myself to manage that. It’s insane, but hey, I’m a freak myself, only in other subjects than the Smashing Pumpkins *lauging out loud*
