Re-vamping in Progress PDF Print E-mail

Changes:

Amazon S3 Integration - We have updated our upload form to now store pictures to an Amazon S3 bucket, this will do three things for this site 1) Increase picture load time, 2) reduce bandwidth loads on the web-server, 3) cut down on actual disk usuage for the hosting account associated with this site.

Updated Forum - The forums have been upgraded to a new version adding more stability and better security

Other News:

The process has started for looking for a new theme that better suits this site, we have not found any yet that seem to work. This brings me to the next part, If you know of any free Joomla themes that would work well to match this sites with category5.tv while maintaining a somewhat different look I would appreciate any ideas. Use the contact form on this site to submit ideas. The things we are looking for are: a theme that is similar (not identical) to the one here www.category5.tv, preferably a matching phpbb theme (or one at least the same colour scheme),  two column or one column is fine (prefer 2) and a them that is not real heavy on the images it has. If you want to help out by suggesting a theme please keep those things in mind.

A custom logo is needed as well I do not expect anyone to make one but a simple nod in the direction of a good professional looging logo generator would also be appreaciated,  I will of course not turn down free logos should you feel compelled to make one.

 Aside from that not much to report here, stay tuned as we will be making further changes as time progresses.

Crazy few months PDF Print E-mail

Well I am so sorry guys and gals for not working on this site for some time. I had several family members ethier fall sick or die in the last 6 months and so things have been very busy. I am now going to try and ease myself back into the swing of things starting with updating the index list of episodes.

 

I could use a great deal of help on this site if anyone has the time and patience to work with me to get this site up and going I would appreciate any and all help.

 

I also recently moved to a new location so been unpacking as well. Starting first thing Monday May 3rd 2010 I should have the index list 100% up to date and begin working on the other areas of the site in desperate need of updating. 

 

In case you currious the areas i need help with are 3 main areas

 

1) content writter - I need people who are willing to watch the episodes every week and write a short (usually 300 words or so) review on the show to post here as well as reply to comments associated with these reviews via our forums.

2) Screen cap Publishers - These people get put on a group mailing list and recieve an email every time a screencap is submitted. they then log into Joomla and post these captions in a page on the appropriate section of the site as well as making a forum thread associated with each episodes caption page.

3)Lastsly i need someone with a little PHP experience to be able to help me polish up the custom forms i made so that they look a little more professsional. 

 

All three of those things are my primary focus at this point and areas i need the most help. All help of course would be voluntary as this site makes no money from visitors. If you enjoy this site and would like to help out finacialy we ask that instead of sending us money you direct your donations to the show, Robbie can use your donations alot more then myself. I  for this reason am not accepting donations myself and any i do receive will be forwarded to category5.tv

Above this article is a yellow button in the header clicking this takes you to Category5.tv donation page where  you can make a donation. As mentioned ( i want to make it 100% clear) all donations should be made to the show itself not me or this site. Robbie is the real expert here he deserves the monitary support for the show.

The Category 5 TV Barrie Ontario Team
Screencap taken by vk7hse
From Left to Right: Zeck Ferguson, Christy Burton, Robbie Ferguson, Carrie Webb, Tyler Steingard, Natalia Ferguson, Bekah Ferguson and John.
 
Episode 105 marked two years for Category5.tv and to celebrate, Robbie and crew (see above) threw a special party episode and everyone was invited; including Robbie and Bekah's Two adorable children.
 
It was a fun time and, although no particular topic was set, the show went off with a bang and I think we can all say Category5 is going to be that much better for the next year.
 
Way to go Team! And a big thanks to all the Volunteers in the Category5 Community!
 
I plan to do a big section on this episode but I need captions-- lots of them! So, if you have some, please use the form to send them. If the form reloads and does not show you a confirmation please send a email to  screencaps AT category5fansite DOT info . Thanks!
