There IS an easy way to get this fixed. That's to create an account on the site (or have the exec create an account for you), and then make the changes you feel are necessary.
Putting sole responsibility for keeping the site updated onto a single volunteer is a recipe for disaster. Crap happens and for whatever reason that person may not be able to fulfill their expected role. BUT THAT PERSON IS A VOLUNTEER. So What are we gonna do? Dock his/her pay? :) I've been in that role before, and can attest to how easy it is to do the work. But this is exactly why I chose to not do it anymore (and the increased work load in my non-clug activities). I'm sorry guys, but you can sit and bitch all you want - you still have to wait for that person, UNLESS you decide to fix it yourself. In the time it took you to write up the emails, you could have fixed the problem (assuming you had an account and the required knowledge to do so of course... and that knowledge is 1) click the EDIT TAB after you logged in, 2) make the changes, 3) click save... HTML know how is NOT required) The longer the website is "someone else's problem" the longer these types of issues will go on. And the site will die as a result. (apologies if this is confrontational, but I've seen this sort of thing too often. And my comments are not directed at anyone in particular). My thoughts.

I even looked through some of the other pages and it was no where to be seen. I agree with Mark that any upcoming events should be posted on teh main and then when the event is over to have it moved to the events section of the site. And If i could put a note in for something else that kind of annoys me. I notice that there is inconsistent naming & titling for the events...specifically for the monthly. This may seem petty but i fidn stuff like that anooying as well as looking unprofessional. It shows a lack on continuity and attention to detail. This is really miner...bot still annoying...but is there anyway of putting the archived events in chronological order. I was looking through the events pages and the dates seem all over the place. I realize this is likely from moving it over from teh old site...but...still _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
