OK - try again please! If no one tells me these things...

Are you logged in and clicking on the link in the [blogs Gallery Help Search Members Calendar] toolbar? Works fine for me, and I note that missvic posted some pics too.

Not so! The Gallery software has been fully functional since the last upgrade - a long time ago now. I'm not the only one who has created and uploaded to it. If you are having a problem then PM me.

Actualy, it was a her! And.. the short answer is: 1300 miles away, in the sun!

Are there any small traders left then?

Very observant! The fact is that most spammers are very obliging people. They join and leave their spam in this section, which, of course, doesn't display. Seldom, if ever, does it meet the clearly stated rules, so it gets deleted rather than approved. Their membership gets deleted too, as they've no real interest in our Town. Actually, rather a lot of the spammers get deleted before they even post - but that's another story!

Be Internet https://www.bethere.co.uk/ have just updated the enablement date for the Bedlington exchange to 30th April. Easynet (Sky) is the only other unbundled service available from the exchange at present. This has been available since 6th November last.

Try using one of your other personas SS. OK, so this isn't That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds! Moderate yourself and be at peace with the world.

So... it has taken a genuine, fully paid-up, Rolling Stone 63 years to work this out?!! Took me a tad less to work out that's what they all want! But... if only I'd twigged in one third the time! Tomorrow's Sun headline: Keith Richards smoked my Grandad ?

Read the rules! If a post contains nothing but personal abuse it will be removed. If it makes some other point it may be left, unless someone complains. If you want to complain then you need something specific to complain about; there's no point claiming unfair unless you can show what it is that's unfair! BTW your posts are NOT being pre-moderated - unlike some. When they can post something vaugely within the published rules their posts do go through. Some mistakes are inevitable when several dozen spammers are clouding the issue every day. If you think there's been a mistake then PM me.

I bet that it's the altar on which Labour members of WDC sacrificed absolutely all their socialist principals. This never needed to be too big because those principals were pretty small-minded anyway.

When I last looked it was the Furnace Bank.

Built by Gla... ??

Roger and Matt suddenly remember an urgent appointment:- Link to the Video

Then the Wikipedia entry must have been written by someone from Ashington! Well.. it would be funny if it wasn't so near the truth!

Just what the World needs - YABTWS (Yet Another Bedlington Terrier Website)! Did you see the new strap line before you posted? Anyway I do hope your web site will educate owners not to call the breed "Bedlingtons" - we get rather sick of people referring to their Bedlington. It's OUR Bedlington and it doesn't have four legs! Human Count: circa 30K (Slumber Hours, that is!) Canine Count: Several thousand. Sheep Count: Verging on 0 (Unless you count the butcher's.) Therefore, there's not a pressing need for the average Bedlingtonian to keep a tame mutton chaser. Consequently, you can walk around the place for days and see almost every breed but! A great disappointment to tourists, I know. Total lack of enterprise us not having somewhere for the huge number of Bedlington Terrier owners worldwide to visit, and somewhere to spend some money before they quickly exit! Where else on Earth would pass up such a tourist revenue opportunity? Well - I'll tell you where - the completely unsung Town that invented the railways that now span the Earth, and for good measure was also the birthplace of the guy who engineered the very first transcontinental communications cable. Both of the inventions which have completely transformed the World over the last century and a half. There is, of course, a well-visited museum to these great engineering achievements. Err... no! So.. welcome to the Town that's had it's identity stolen in more ways than one. The famous Town which is head and shoulders over very other Town in the World in the total and utter lack of enterprise stakes! Who is to blame for this? Well, it's a long story, and not too many people come out Persil white. Maybe I will get around to documenting a bit of it before too long. Anyway, wishing you every success with your new web site. You'll doubtless be giving us a link, now that you've placed one here for yourself.

The new Gallery and Blog software has now been installed (at great expense!), but we still have some configuration issues to work through. i.e. It sort of works, and you can view old posts again, but there are some serious issues with uploding images to be worked through - um.. real soon! Large images can now be uploaded to the board. Though we haven't explored the exact limits yet, they are not at all restrictive.

...gracefully declined, due to other commitments. But have asked to be considered again when they are next in the area! Seriously, it should be pointed out that those on the buildings have once again been fitted and funded by the Bedlington Forum, and not W.D.C. We are all grateful to Mr. Brian Oliver for the hard work he unselfishly puts in organising the Bedlington Town Forum. Once again the Bedlingtonshire Chamber of Trade is putting, time, effort and money into lighting St Cuthberts Church Yard - which overlooks the Town Center. To give them credit, I'm told that dear old Wansbeck District Council is putting on a much better display on the lamp posts etc. this year. (Could some of the public critisim here have been heeded?) The cameras will be out shortly to test this hypothesis. We'll also be checking out the local traders, and residents, own displays. If you see any eye-catching ones then don't hesitate to post your own photos.

A million leaves form their own dam in the River Blyth; just above the concrete dam South of Bedlington.

...then don't forget to say hello in the Introduce Yourself forum. You don't have to say anything about yourself - though it woul be nice if you did. That simple post will qualify you to maintain your membership for a full year. This tells me (or the moderators) that you intend to be an active member, and have an active interest in the Town; that you're not yet another damn pill-pusher or other Internet low-life! This domain is for OUR community to use, and people genuinely interested in our community. It's not yet another selling platform for outsiders! Local business may use it to serve our community, and that's the extent of it!

See: Here. and See: Here too.

The problem is now sorted. I've tested with up to approx half megabyte files (really too big for the web anyway), and it not only works fine but the thumbnail generator doesn't bomb out either! I think the file size limit is set to 1MB - will confirm and test this when I get a quiet moment. Will bump the available upload space as actualy needed. Presently there's about 50MB globally available, but this can be increased to anything sensible if it's being used productively for the Town - and not filled with crap! Getting the Galleries and Blogs back on line is now a priority - got some pix to post myself. Uploads may be restricted to the members only forums in future; we'll see how it gos. Enjoy!
