Hi Dani,

Can you confirm whether it is possible to edit a posted blog. I'd like to add a signature to my last blog entry but can't see how to do it.
Hope i'm not going blind!

Thanks,

Mike.

Notice to readers:

Out of fairness i am going to close this particular contest as we've just switched over to a free service and therefore the prize is now available to anyone!

For those of you...

Hi Thinksmart,

I've just emailed the answer to you.

Keep it "under your hat" - it's proving quite a challenge!

Mike.

One winner in so far - well done to Rory.

So for those who think it can't be done......!

Hi Ben, welcome to te forum.

The original post is quite old and we changed the layout since. What's interesting is the fact that we seem to be getting more sign ups with the current version than...

Hmm, I posted the message below and as soon as it came up i saw an 'edit' button so i edited it and added this bit! It looks like you can edit it if it's the last message but if another post comes...

PS Server-crash,

Forgot to say its probably best not to post your email address where some spammer could pick it up (unless you've got spam protection). Otherwise your inbox could become quite...

Hi Server (and Morgan and Janine).

Just to let you know they are definitely 90 day keys. Server pointed out a 'prob' in our system - we used to only generate 30 day trials so we need to change the...

Hi Server,

Nope, the key i sent should be good for 90 days.
Let me know if you received something to indicate otherwise. I'm pretty sure i sent the right type but definitely don't want you to...

Hi Server-crash,

Well-done, just emailed you your prize!
Should be straightforward to set up but let me know if any probs.

cheers,

Mike.

:-)

One of the last two to post was right and has already been awarded their prize. It the other gets in quick enough it won't take too many deduction powers to win 3rd place on the podium!

Both wrong!!!.

If you're inclined, drop me an email at mike@it-professional.net and give me one good reason why i should be generous!

:-)

Mike.

Hey Janine,

You can't hedge your bets by trying two! Take another guess but (clue) aim lower!

:-)

Mike.

(PS: ServerCrash - talk about a long shot!!)

Hi Mayhem,

No luck there on the age guess but gotta say your investigative skills are pretty impressive!. How did you find the country? (trace of IP address or something more obvious?).

Still...

Hi Morgan,

Wrong! and i'm not saying if i'm smiling or depressed!.

No more clues yet, let's see how this goes.

:-) :-(

Mike.

Hi Morgan,

Just to let you know the email did'nt come through so you might want to try again.
Yep - have had a couple of good college reunions but no more clues for now!.

;-)

Mike.

ok, i know this is asking for an ego bashing, but hey - it's only a game!

The 1st three people to correctly state my age can choose an IT email address from our site. You need to do a little bit...

Hello all,

http://www.itzoom.com

We've changed our site to a simpler format and a single product offering (email forwarding accounts only). Initial results show a higher level of interest and...

Even stranger i'm now seeing a PR6 rating got Daniweb?
What's far more interesting though is the increasing membership number - it's a far truer reflection of the forums' success.

Hi npasma, glad to hear you appreciated the comments. I do believe the IT sector is back on the up and up and it's just a matter of time before confidence is fully restored. Its refreshing to hear...

Maybe not quite as dramatic as that but things definitely seem to be moving in the right direction. Job security has been the mantra for many during the last five years and, just as follows a weak...

Thanks Vimkar,

We were surprised initially as to how long we pondered on different colour schemes before settling on this one. Its one of those things where you can't please everyone all of the...

Thanks for that comprookie - we'll check it out.

Hi All,

Brief background: ITZoom provides self-marketing email for IT professionals who do not currently have a professional address for business or career use. The aim is...

Great site and i'm wondering if you could get any associated publications interested in mentioning it. The UK has a paper called Angler's World for example and if no other similar forums exist it...

As a forum user (ie not a forum provider) i would be fairly annoyed if my account was deleted without a request. Maybe one option might be to send an email after 3 months of inactivity just to remind...

I agree with the view that it helps google ranking if you're reciprocal linking with equivalent or higher ranked sites however i also think there is another factor to take into account: Links from...

Hi Newsman,

Initial impression is that the site is clearly laid out and easy to understand. My thoughts though are that there are other sites already offering similar services for free and that a...

Hi John,

I visited your site with the intention of reviewing and giving any constructive feedback. I ended up using it to look at XP tips and tweaks so regardless of look and feel etc i guess the...

Another vote for godaddy here too!.

You'll struggle to find a better provider that gives you peace of mind for less cost.

Nice layout and hard to fault.

Good luck with the venture.

Mike.

It would help to know what your growth plan is but i would say the following:

Username, Password, Email

OK -I will then:
First Name, Surname, Where I heard of the site

Catweazle - to be honest i still think i'm 20 but other 20 year olds just don't see it that way! Would'nt want to go back though! :D
