New section in the forum and potential site upgrade.

Whoops, it was an ad in an article I cut and pasted that was causing the problem. All sorted now.

Thanks Keith.

Ive been away for a few weeks. The sites looking great. I also think your idea for a Disney wiki would be good. Good way for people to get involved with the site as well.

Heyya Marc, Greg has been very busy in the last few weeks in developing this upgrade, it has been great watching the site get better each day (except for our few days of downtime, during which I was suffering withdrawals.)

So Greg, have you got a list of poll topics together yet?
Favourite princess/villians/sidekicks/e-ticket rides/live action films/etc

The problem with these sort of polls is that you have to be subjective in the first place in preselecting the potential poll answers - you can't please all the people all the time. For example, when you choose 5 common sidekicks, there will always be one person who says something like "my favourite is Percy in Pocohontas - why isn't he in the list of answers!"

I have had a few problems with ideas for polls. Your right about how hard it is to be subjective in terms of "favourite" type polls. That's why I went with the parks as the first one because there is a finite number of them.

How about "where should a park be located in Australia?"

I put the idea on the backburner in the last week but I'll have another look for suitable software.

Have you ever come across a Disney specific one?

Wow - that wasn't much of a backburner - I see you have a Wiki page set up already from our home page!

The setup wasn't too difficult, now all I have to do is figure out exactly how it works and how it should be used.

For those unsure of exactly what a wiki is:

It is essentially a series of web pages like an online encyclopedia but the difference is that anyone can make additions or alterations. If you have extra information to add about an entry in the wiki then you can just add it through a simple web interface. The theory is that by doing this it will always be up to date and will continue to grow and evolve on its own. It also becomes a growing resource of Disney knowledge, or at least that's the theory.

Hey Greg, just an observation. It looks like we are having bots registering new members again with unsavoury website addresses. See members 115-118.
