Glad to have this! I was on IDF for a few years, then out of the blue Istersay banned me for no reason. So here we don't have to worry about her either and her trolly friends.

Great idea! We sure don't want to lose that! Also I would hate to lose Dusty's info on the singles. IDF has so much history it's a shame everything there seems in jeopardy now.

I actually just told her off today on the technical forum there right before it crashed again. I wouldn't be surprised if she banned me. Nor would I care since that site is crap now anyway.

Fortunately for us, she won't have a job anymore if the site ends up gone for good.

Not sure how long the Shoutouts are seen. Wanted to say here that i sent all the emails to IDFers for whom I had valid addresses! Sure hope we see them tomorrow. IDF is down again at the moment. It is late, but I wanted to be sure everyone was notified that I know how to reach. Email addresses for Winn and Boyette were not valid and could not be delivered. DM me on twitter with an updated email if you so desire. I have not seen a PM option on this freeforum site as yet - still happily learning how to navigate this.

To send a PM click on Members then choose the member you want to send a message to.. There will be a SEND MESSAGE box on the top right of the member's page that will allow you to write and send a message to that person. The MESSAGES buttons shows your own In/Out box.

Thanks, Mary! I see IDF is up right now. But that probably won't last long. It's nice to have a good place to come.

Deb has contacted me. She has an incredibly busy weekend ahead of her and may not be on this site for a few days. She was happy to get the heads up email. She managed to save the calendar and some other critical information and she wanted me to relay that to all of you. IDF is down again now.

Good to hear that Deb could save some of the stuff on IDF. We sure had a lot that will be missed if it can't be retrieved. I haven't been able to get on IDF at all for about a day.

Before heading to the office, just wanted to let you know a couple of things: 1) While anyone can copy a page at IDF, only the person who posted the page can copy/paste it and still keep the URLs functional. 2) I routinely save the primary information that I post at IDF, e.g., Scotty's Calendar (P1), Scotty's updated voting/requesting guide (i.e., all of the radio contact information), all of the Mediabase information, SYT album- which we'll need for comparatives re the new album and of course, all of my end-of-year summaries and overviews related to Scotty's singles, albums, concerts and other activities.
Again, it's all saved and will be continually updated. If and when IDF goes down permanently, I'll move it here. Until then, I'll continue to update IDF.
Thanks Mary for all your hard work!!

Since Deb has all the important information backed up, I will not post the Radio Station Info from IDF like I said I would.
Also, one of the previous radio station concerts had put up videos on their website. The videos were just put up on YouTube. Should we make an event thread to put up videos similar to IDF just w/o a event calendar?

IDF conversation on Istersay's Twitter. It looks like the owners have just dropped out of sight and even their "favorite" Mod can't get any response. Naira @naira____ May 13 @nxbuzz Hey buzz, idolforums still doesn't work, hasn't in months, and lately it crashes all the time. Are you going to close the site? Squirrel! @teamaudra14 21h21 hours ago @naira____ @nxbuzz Doesn't look like Buzz checks his tweets. Does Tom have his number? @istersay Naira @naira____ 16h16 hours ago @teamaudra14 @nxbuzz @istersay -- @idoltom is never on twitter. Maybe they abandoned IDF and the server's doing its own thing. Waaah... istersay @istersay 12h12 hours ago @naira____ @teamaudra14 @nxbuzz @idoltom gah, I hope not, maybe the server took over the whole system Squirrel! @teamaudra14 1h1 hour ago @istersay @naira____ @nxbuzz @idoltom I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's done. The writing is on the wall. Naira @naira____ 1h1 hour ago @teamaudra14 @istersay @nxbuzz @idoltom yea. I'm kinda bummed they never made any announcement since that server mess started istersay @istersay @naira____ @teamaudra14 @nxbuzz @nxtom @idolforums if anyone sees buzz on idf let us know, I still hope they can fix this

If they do fix IDF they might find some have found a new site for all things Scotty. I'm sick of that site always crashing. I go there to read concert tweets and it's down. Very annoying.

All I have seen from IDF today is the IPS Driver error message. I'm truly wondering if it is gone for good now.

I see tweets from moderators not able to contact the owners of the site. Also, I see other IDF members also making other websites like we did for Scotty. I'm hoping that it's possible we can get into IDF a short time. There's an option to archive/download all pertinent threads you need which would be very helpful.

I always knew the members of IDF were "movers and shakers", and bringing this forum fruition to keep us all together proves it. Great job to all. Love seeing IDFers and new members signing on to support and share in our love for Scotty. Proud McCreerians. We definitely rock!

A few of things I miss on this site that we had at IDF:
There isn't a way to jump to the bottom of the page - I think it was "go to last post read" or "latest post read" something like that. It took you right to the end of the thread where the newest posts were.
I miss the "top" button that took you back to the top of the thread without needing to scroll. There IS a "Back to the top" option in the pull down menu (gear icon) at the top right of the window. It's just not as convenient as the one on IDF.
I also miss the variety of emojis that were easily accessible on IDF. I suppose there is a plug-in that will give those to us, but I'm not that techy, so anyone with any ideas on that, let me know.

I noticed the same things. However this forum WORKS. i have started using the pull down option to go to the top, but miss the "go to last post" or what ever it was called.

The 'Home' key on the keyboard will take you to the top of the page you're on immediately. The 'End' key will take you to the bottom of the page you're on. But on this forum it takes you to the bottom of the shoutbox. Still have to arrow up a bit to find the last post.
I do miss having the page numbers for the threads at the bottom of the page. Made navigation a bit easier. But all-in-all this site already feels like 'home'. Thanks to everyone who is making it work!

Also, when you pull up the different "sub-threads" you can click on "last post" and it will open to the bottom of the posts. I am already loving this forum and think as we discover different options/possibilities, it will be even easier to navigate than the idol forum. BTW: I love the "hot thread" icon!!

Trying to find the post mood. I don't see anything.
OK. I see it. It's next to the save changes button. I was looking in the editing tools.
