I had a number of complaints about having 2 separate private messaging systems on the website.
Sooo, I am removing the homepage system, and creating new links for the homepage that will direct you to the forum private message system. I would hope to possibly have the entire system finished by the end of the weekend if all goes well. (It's quite involved, but I am getting close)

On a side note:
I have noticed that the pm system has been "abused" quite a bit as the site has grown. Whether it is spamming other people's accounts, advertising other websites, complaining about our practices, etc.. It has got to stop.
In the near distant future I will be disabling the entire pm system to all but our "partners" group.
More is to come in the near future on this partners section. It is going to be quite an exciting area of the website, and one I'm positive that everyone who joins will enjoy.
Right Now I am in the process of uploading Jerry's sermon notes, and shortly the audio message will follow, attached to each set of notes.
As coding time permits, I will also add in the archives of the nightly broadcasts to the partners area as well.
I will have more on this in the following weeks.

Thank You for the answer Shawn!

I knew you have been tweaking the system now for weeks and on the whole it looks nice!

The 24 hour "Daily Posts" board makes things SOOOOO much easier! Along with the "Top 100"!

Thank You for doing so much for us bunch of whiners!


There is no smilie for sarcastic humor! ACK!

The "Partners" section sounds promising and fun.

I cannot wait for the sermons and NOTES! I use notes and having them not on loseable paper will be really handy!

Yes I am aware of the disappearing problem. I have been dealing with it on and off for the past 4 days now. Turns out our datacenter isn't nearly as good as they say they are, and I am searching hard for a new provider that is reasonable enough so that we can afford to maintain the website.
I wish I could say the problems are over, but honestly, I have no idea. Seems the servers come up and go down like crazy this week.
Anointed has just grown so large that the basic datacenters are going to have a hard time giving us enough bandwidth, which means only the big companies will work, and they're very expensive.

I doubt that most of our members even realize that running a website like this costs money. A lot of money to be honest, more than what most would even dream it costs. So much, that if I even posted how much we spend each month for our servers, tech support, etc.. few would even believe me.

I'm sorry to have been so long in my answer. It just drives me nuts when I post on other websites and don't get direct answers to my questions.. even if the answer is a bit long.
Please just keep praying with us that the datacenter can figure out their problems, at least in the meantime, untill we move.
Thank you.
