Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
Very smart layout. Kol hakavod.
ReplyDeleteshkoyach. I thought the parchment backround look was apt
ReplyDeleteHi Eli,
ReplyDeleteI like the new look. It gives it a much warmer and pleasant feeling. Keep up the good work.
As we know, the pictures in my previous posts have all but vanished. This ocured when I closed my Google email account a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, as we have learned, whatever picture one posts on the Forum, they are never formally uploaded to the website in the same manner as the text is. Instead, they reside within a parallel Google/Picasa account (even if one doesn't have one) and only appear on the Forum via a web-link. Therefore, if one closes a google email account linked to the posts, whatever pictures one has placed on the Forum will also disappear with it.
Question, as the Site's administrator, are you able to edit any of the previous posts, or is this something which the architecture of the site does not allow? Please let me know. Perhaps I can email you copies of the previous missing pictures for them to be reposted. Thanks!
Alberto,
Deletegood to hear from you, I was worried what happened to your pictures {I was afraid it might happen to mine}. B"H it was something external, I coudn't figure out how that happened.
Eli keep up the great work on this forum, thanks
Thanks Moshe,
DeleteIt's good to be back. With the close of my other Google email account, I wasn't able to log unto the Forum + the pics vanished! I have learned the lesson: "If ever in the need to restructure your Google email accounts don't ever close one of them." Whatever pictures you may have posted on any blog will automatically vanish with them. The worst thing is that, there is absolutely nothing one can do! : )
