OD Here and Now

None of us should need reminding - but please remember today (and all the time) to pay some honor and respect to those who have sacrificed everything for our country, now and in the past.  It's the least we can do for those who have given so much. The DiaryMaster

Okay, a few days late with this, but better late than never.  It actually was pretty easy picking the winners for March - because what they did was so cool (yes, I said winners because there are four). Four of our Australian members participated last month in the Melbourne City Romp as an Op...

Hello all, Just a couple small things today.  There's been a lot of discussion over on the boards about the need for some limits on Reader's Choice nominations.  See, back in the day before OD 6 came out, we had a limit on how many RC nominations one person could make in a week.&nb...

Hi, This is going to be quick, but there is something I've been noodling with the last couple days that's kind of fun, and I just put it live on the site tonight.  It's called the Interest Matcher - and its purpose is to let you search for other OD members that have interests similar to...

I hesitate to call this a "Rules Change" because it is really just a clarification, to make it a little clearer how we are handling some specific kinds of cases. There has been a lot of spirited conversation here and over on the Boards about how "mature content" is handled her...

I'm a couple days late, but things have been going twelve different ways here this week, so just getting around to the promised winner for the month of February. If you don't know what the OD Booster Club is, please take a minute to go over to the Booster Club homepage and check it out.&nbsp...

 Happy Groundhog Day, everybody.  Every year, I feel sorry for the groundhog - they wake him up early enough to make the morning news, drag him out of his warm little house, and wave him around at a bunch of not-very-excited onlookers.  Personally, I've had enough of winter - and t...

I talked about this back in December, but it took me until now to get around to my first try at making some leaflets.  They're not great - but they are a start - as I said before, I am always open to suggestions for improvements.  I am no great designer, or fantastic with fonts…

Hello, We had some reports in recent days of some emails not receiving replies when they were sent into our help desk system using the "help" link at the top of the screen.  The Admins and I have been investigating this and there is good news and bad news.  The good news is th...

Obviously, I fell short on NoJoMo - if only November had only twenty-two days, I would have been fine.  Oh well, I will try again next year! There was a very positive response to the OD Booster Club idea I talked about, so I am going ahead with putting that together, and we'll talk about&hel...
