Site News

Good news, bad news situation! I'll start with the bad. It has come to our attention that some of our users are possibly promoting the JA606 site a bit too hard on other forums that also provide an alternative service to the original 606. To launch the site, we made just 4 posts on the original 606 and things kicked off from there. At JA606, we understand the effort that goes into creating a site such as this and would therefore never encourage or condone any activity that prevented users from accessing a site or otherwise damaging it. We would therefore request that any users who may be engaging in such an activity reign in their enthusiasm - thank you!
And now for the good news - we have just received the original 606 smileys from the BBC and will endeavour to get them in play as soon as possible.

Still running on our toaster!You may be wondering why the site keeps popping offline every few hours. We are having to restart to keep things operational. Thank you for your continued patience and support. We have spent most of the day on premium rate numbers (not that kind!) trying to get the hosting company get a move on. We hope this is rectified soon!

Amin all that now needs to happen with the recent comments is to opop up at the top, also if its possible, once you comment on a thread it should not give the time until someone else comments on it. thats the way i tracked comments on 606

Hi Admin, some people can't seem to register on JA606 and don't know why, this was posted on 606 earlier on
- After your prompt yesterday I tried to register. I've just tried again and still it will not allow me to register. Just keeps telling me invalid this or that and they'll send another password but as yet no reply.
Is this problem down to the browser he's using or is it a bug that needs ironing out? Cheers, Natch.

The traffic would come no need to run to other sites. I have a few mates running how own some of the most influential media blogs - no harm in plugging ja606 BBC's alternative to 606. <inserts missing smiley>
One thing though admin, you need to make some additions just like the old board
Bring back the quote system
Add the ignore button
And print on a general chat room (for the off season and constant traffic)

I like that it shows the latest reply but its a bit confusing as it only shows when you made the original post or comment. I know its nit picky but it helps when the comment time changes each time you make a comment that way you could compare your time to the time of the latest comment. Hope that made sense.
