• 4.52 Seconds! A New Record!

  by katieglover November 20, 2010
  I am pleased to report that this site has just been transferred to its new home (its production server) which is much faster than the development server we were using.  I just did a GT Metrix test on our front page load time and was pleased to see it come in at under 5 seconds (4.52s to be prec...

• Light at the end of the tunnel

  by katieglover November 12, 2010
  I've spent the last few months finding bugs and getting them fixed so I'm a bit unhappy about the fact that we are still finding them, after all this time. Our membership cards and 'Likes' module problems have just been fixed today but now there's a problem with uploading profile pics.  It nev...

• More progress...

  by katieglover October 28, 2010
  It's been quite a volatile time since my last blog entry but things are settling down again now.   Quite a bit of work has been carried out on the site behind the scenes and you will find that you can now log in using your user name as well as your email address.  That's in readiness for...

• Coming Along

  by katieglover October 16, 2010
  Since my last blog post we've seen quite a bit of headway, with a number of bug fixes, a new login system which allows users to log in with their Facebook, Twitter or other IDs, a neat new way of linking your Gender Society Account with your Facebook, Twitter, Photobucket, MySpace or a heap of other...

• Some New Features

  by katieglover October 7, 2010
  Hi everyone, in the last week you may have noticed a few changes around the site.  More bugs have been fixed and we have just installed a feature which lets you log in using your Facebook or Twitter login credentials (or those of a large number of other networks).   You can also link you...

• Sick Puppy

  by katieglover September 22, 2010
  Our site is one sick puppy right now.  I've got no fewer than five support tickets open with the developers and several other tickets awaiting replies from third part developers.  Thanks for letting me know about problems as you encounter them. It's all got to be working properly before i...

• Still Getting There But Worried

  by katieglover September 17, 2010
  The reason I am worried is because although this site is generally a huge improvement on our existing site, there are a few bits which might not be quite as good as what we had on our old site.  I'm principally thinking of the chat room but there might be a one or two other things too. Apart f...

• Problems, problems...

  by katieglover September 12, 2010
  I seem to lurch from one big problem to another.  My life is just one big series of problems and eventually, solutions.  But it's hard work.  Why can't things just go right from the start? Yesterday I was in the midde of tryig to find a tame programmer/developer to work with us on ge...

• What's the hold-up now?

  by katieglover September 9, 2010
  The latest blow is that the subscription software we've been waiting on for months, may not now ever be available.  The people who are supposed to be developing it appear to have lost interest. This is not a piece of bespoke software but rather, something which was going to be a plugin for our...

• Cursed

  by katieglover September 5, 2010
  Sometimes I think that we are cursed.  Honestly! I have spent much of the last three months working on the September issue of Frock Magazine and yesterday, it was finally finished.  When it was all uploaded and tested and found to be working correctly, I started work on a big advertising ...
