Web Site Outage

You may have noticed that our web site was inaccessible over the weekend.

This was because our domain name GEORGIANYACHTCLUB.COM expired because the reseller who holds the domain failed to invoice us.

It was renewed for two years and came back up around 15h00 yesterday (2018-07-08). Hopefully we will get timely invoices in the future.

 

Member Biographical Info

At the recent Meet & Greet a new member suggested displaying members’ bios.

Our web site has always had the capability of storing members’ biographical info. It is a standard part of your profile. A few of you have listed your boating experience and positions held in the Georgian Yacht Club.

Until now that information only appeared as a foot note to a member’s news post. Since few of you make posts, no one saw what you had written

Now I have added Biographical Info to the pop-up that appears when you click on a member’s name anywhere in the Directory.

You can add your own bio. by logging on and visiting Edit My Profile.

Racing Calendar Set up. Revised “A” and “B” Lists.

I have entered events on the Members’ calendar for all of this season’s races. The same events (but no meetings and social events) are also on the Public calendar. I understand that this is for security and privacy reasons.

I have also made changes (additions/deletions/corrections) to the “A” and “B” lists as requested by the membership director.

I ask that the responsible directors (and members) please check that everything is OK.

Directors: Please remember that the web site uses a “Content Management System.” The idea is for you to maintain your own content, without the need to involve a webmaster. This will avoid any errors that I might introduce and speed up the process. Of course, I can help out when ever needed.
