Need advice on promotion by e-mail 14th March 2011 10:00 AM
“what a third party would you recommend to use, we are looking to carry out a newsletter campaign like this as well”

We send from our own servers, but use a application called Interspire Email Marketer

I know people on here have raved about Mail Chimp in the past, but haven't used them myself.

“not sure why i can't reply to certain thread, like the one 'members Help' in category - Tenders, Assistance and find a supplier, i also can't open a new thread in that category

Because we have a 10 post rule to cut down on spam and self promotion. Once you have made 10 worthwhile posts, then you will have full access to all the forums.

Glad to have you with us, but please no constant self promotion in every post! When you have 10 posts, you can do a self promo in the village market.

Looks like you will fit in just nicely with a sense of humour like that
“What those neighbours have done is tantamount to harrassment since every case has been unfounded and wasting valuable police and council time.

I would seek advice from a lawyer and complain to the police of harrassment and get an injunction served on them. People can't go around annoying you like that because they can't get their own way.”

Yup, agree totally, but missus said the coppers were actually really good, couldn't see a problem, were going to chat to the idiots and tell them to stop wasting peoples time. Plus we can call them if we had any further issues.

With the missus preggars, shes quite laid back about it all, and doesn't need the stress or hassle of me stirring things up. So the current policy of public humiliation seems to have done the trick, and to be fair, calling the coppers has just re-inforced their current standing in the street.

Maybe not the best outcome for an alpha male, and I know what I'd really like to do, but somethings are more important.

If I disappear for a while, then you'll know my patience ran out....

Website monitoring? 11th March 2011 4:31 PM
Can anyone recommend a decent website monitoring supplier?

We currently use siteimprove.com who are great and can't fault them technically, but they are very pricey for what we are using them for.

What we need is content matching monitoring from multiple locations, with email and sms reporting, and ideally a dashboard or report tool that will give transaction times.

Seems to be plenty on the market, most US based, so wondered if anyone has any experience of any UK ones, or who does everyone else use.

Before someone states the obvious, the standard IP node up/node down monitoring that comes with all hosting companies isn't good enough.

“...as they could question & fight against the world's dominant search engine Google's authenticity!”

...obviously those are the views of the author...

I think google are great
“Had similar neighbours in our time the only advantage is they keep bulgars away, lol.”

Very true, nothing happens without the curtains twitching

“...although I did park a Police Car in the next doors parking spot outside his house one day, think he got the message.”

So you an ex copper or did you nick it???

Wow, for anyone interested in online security this is a cracking read

Hacker vs. Hacker - BusinessWeek

If you can't be bothered, long story short, a specialist online security firm that advised corporations and govt depts made the biggest sin of all...

They used the same username and password across multiple systems, eg email, social media accounts.....

Perish the thought of anyone stupid enough to do that!!!!

<sprints off and resets all of his passwords!>
