Return of the Pub
Posted by: Brian on Aug 14, 2007

So I finally got off my rump and brought the page back. I figured it had lingered in limbo long enough and I've put in some hours getting this thing up and running.

While the format looks pretty much the same, the code behind it is entirely new. I switched hosts yet again (LONG story) and with that came time to upgrade my old CGI scripts to PHP, and retire the extensive Table coding and move to CSS. This has a bonus of eliminating the scrolling issues of the old page though and things are much cleaner code wise (better for me).

The forum is entirely new, and not yet formatted so bear with the contrasting color schemes for a bit. Please, sign up again and start posting!

I also will be reserving the News for updates to the web site only, where last time I would post events to the front page. What wound up happening is I would get busy and by the time I posted the info, it was no longer news :P So if you have an event coming up, please post it to the forums!

I've also contained all the pages into one frame so that they no longer pop out, giving the page more of a cohesive feel to it. If anyone finds any issues with this format, please let me know. I had my test monke... err buddies helping me with the new format but with so many different browsers, screen resolutions and other items that can contribute, it's impossible to test everything.

If you have a thefamilypub.com email address, feel free to click Check Email to log into the Web based email page. If you do not have one and would like one, please let me know and I can set you up with one.
Send an email to brian@thefamilypub.com

I have several more ideas I would like to implement, and still more work to do on the page itself but I figured getting the News and Forum at least operational would allow the traffic to start to flow back into the site.

Welcome back everyone.
