The server has been experiencing some problems sending e-mails, and this has caused some people to not receive the activation e-mails when they signed up for a new account.

The problem has not been solved.

If you did not receive an activation e-mail, please login again, and click on the "resend activation e-mail" link to receive a new activation e-mail.

If you experience any other problems, please let us know.

Thank you.]]> Fri, 25 Feb 2011 08:05:51 -0600 http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=80566&PID=533431#533431 http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=80450&PID=530051#530051 Scott on 02 Sept 2010 at 7:20pm

I think we found all the spam posts and deleted them. Let me know if you find more.

There seems to be a problem with the e-mail system, so we had to temporarily turn of e-mail notifications of posts until we can figure out what is causing the problem. We'll keep you updated.]]> Thu, 27 May 2010 01:31:12 -0600 http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=80411&PID=529020#529020 http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=80209&PID=524393#524393 Scott on 14 Jan 2010 at 5:02pm

In our continuing effort to upgrade the website, we now added support for Gravatars (Globally Recognized Avatars) to comments on Articles and Recipes.  Gravatars are frequently used on blogs to show a commenter's avatar, and are widely used in the blogging community.

If you do not have an avatar selected in the forums, and if you have registered a Gravatar, it will show up next to your comments on the recipe or article page. 

Forum pages will only show forum avatars, however.  After we upgrade the forums in a few months, we will work on implementing Gravatar support for the forums.

Enjoy!

We have made some interesting changes to the website concerning commenting on recipes and articles.  Commenting is now integrated with the forums, which gives you all the functionality of posting in the forums (editing posts, quoting what someone said, etc.) as well as being visible in the active topics list.  Comments on a recipe or article will be visible both in the forum displayed as regular forum posts, and on the recipe or article page in a manner similar to blog posts.

We are in the process of converting existing recipes and articles to the new comment format.  Look for the comment icon next to the recipe or article name on lists to see which ones  have been converted.

Some examples of pages that have already been converted:

• Jamaican Jerk Chicken
  
• Bajan Sweet Bread
• The Seven Wonders of the Caribbean
• How to be More Romantic to Your Woman
  

Hopefully this and other changes will increase comments and participation throughout the site.

Thanks for being part of CaribbeanChoice and see you online!

Happy New Year!  We here at CaribbeanChoice are working on some exciting things.  Here are some of them:

• More Recipes! We are adding more recipes to the Recipe Section, and fixed the Add a Recipe form so you can add recipes too.
   
  
• More Forum Areas! To make it easier to find discussions you want to participate in, we have added additional forum areas.
   
  
• Toolbar with Internet Radio: We now have our own toolbar with useful features like internet radio, weather, e-mail notifier and pop-up blocker as well as easy access to the latest CaribbeanChoice content.
   
  
• Facebook & Twitter: We now have two fan pages on Facebook.  The CaribbeanChoice Fan Page gives you updates (like this one) on what is happening on the site, as well as shows your support for CaribbeanChoice. The second one is the Caribbean Food Fan Page which displays new recipes.  Plus you can Follow Us on Twitter too.
   
  
• Updated Battle of the Islands: We have enhanced the Battle of the Islands to better reflect user participation on the website.  You can now see the most active countries and users on CaribbeanChoice.
   
  
• And More to Come!

2009 was a rough year, for many reasons, and we are happy to come into 2010 with some exciting new changes.  Please come and join us in 2010!

As many of you know, earlier this year we had some issues that effected certain areas of the site, including the articles.  We have gone through and temporarily removed all the problem articles.  Hopefully with this update we have eliminated all of the bad links on the site.  Over time, we will restore all those pages with their original or updated content.

If you find any other issues, please visit the Suggestions, Comments & Help! forum and let us know.

Thank you for your patience while we restore and upgrade the site. :)
