Hello! I'm a new member.

Hi there,

My name is Martin and I'm 38 and from the south of Ireland - Cork City.

I like the simple things in life - movies and music like everyone else but also writing, walking and meeting friends in town for coffee and chat.

I write in a diverse range of topics including sci-fi, fantasy, philosophy, spirituality and some humour, horror, flash fiction, opinion pieces and even free-association or stream of consciousness. They're all up on an Irish writing site.

I look forward to taking part in the forums and meeting new people online.

Vive la difference!

Plexim.

Hi Martin,

Great to see you here.

Hope to hear more from you in these forums.

Best Wishes,
UD

I see myself posting regularly here, Ujjwal.

I like the ethos behind this site and you've done an impressive job putting it together,

Still getting the hang of it though...

For example I'd like to put an avatar next to my name in posts but found out this is an admin decision or something???

Can you help?

Thanks.

Hi Martin, I'm Jacqui. Good to meet you.

(I think 2write has prevented people uploading pictures so that I can't *squint* out at him. )

Welcome here Jacqui

@ Martin: Click on PROFILE on top menu list.
Then below the advertisement there is another menu where the item AVATAR is listed.
Here you can select any of the avatars listed.

Hi Jacqui,

Nice to meet you too. (Did I spell your name right? )

I'm going to sort out my avatar now. (Cheers, Ujj )

I for one want a proper pic up!

I really hope this site takes off.

Good to be on board early.

THere it is; blue skies and puffy white clouds, a good day.

We rarely get weather like that in Ireland; sometimes in the 'summer' but not often enough.

I only get to wear my shades in here

Bummer....

M.

You got the avatar up - so I think others will soon be able to follow suit.

Great sky. Bad monsoon here in Mumbai right now.

Ya, got my avatar up, thanks.

Sorry you're having poor weather in Mumbai.

Here in Cork, it's not too bad...

Not sunny or anything but dry anyway and cool; walking weather

Got out earlier and managed to cycle into town yesterday to meet a friend for coffee and chat

Good to get some exercise when I can

Anyway, I hope that monsoon passes soon or does a monsoon just rain for days/weeks on end?

Hi Ujjwal,

Have another technical problem for you...

The site isn't registering my gender in my profile or my signature

And I don't know why....

I click on male but it doesn't show in my profile information when viewed.

I also have made and previewed a signature but it doesn't seem to save properly?

When I then check my posts it's not there?

Thanks for any help.

M.

Both have sorted themselves out now

False alarm, just took awhile for changes to register.

Hello there. I joined back on July 31 as well, but there were some glitches and I wasn;t able to log in. I didn't bother much after that, but decided to give it another try today after having taken the Orison-B test. Ujj, I sent you the email along with a file attachment. Anyway, I had to register twice after the account I created yesterday wouldn't accpet my password nor recognize my email when I requested a new one/reset. Anyway, it's good to be here and I look forward joining the members' area soon.

Jacqui and Martin, it's nice to see you here too.

Hi Victor,

I will look into why the auto-authentication couldn't issue a new password. The database is encrypted so even at backend I can't manually retrieve a forgotten password.

Since you had taken the original philosophical analogies test, you were most welcome to join as existing member. Anyways, thanks for taking the new IQ Test. I spent weeks evaluating the right software and I found the current one the best and most secure as well as social.

One guy from Denmark wanted to delete his account because the test was not culture-fair. I have to look into finding such an option for the user so that they can delete their accounts if they found it un-helpful.

Hello Ujj and thank you for activating my account at the OB members' forum. Culture Fair or not, the test still told me I was a genius, so who am I to disagree? Jokes aside, if you're in the market for a culture fair test you can always accept scores on the Gigi Pro for admission. Being all matrices and pattern recognition it's certainly culture fair.

Anyways, have a good one.


Peace out.

Hello everyone

My name is Anne and I was born in Scotland many years ago.

My hobbies are painting landscapes with water colours, cross-stitch, jogging, listening to classical music, singing, baking, reading and computer studies.

It is great to see Jacqui and Victor here and all the best wishes to you both and all new members here.

I will try out my navigational skills to find my way around the forum.

Best wishes to all

Hi Anne,

Welcome to another home on the internet. The forum is not very active with topics because there was a private forum hosted on my server which got hacked - so I use forumotion.com to host this Orison-B Forum now on. It gets less bot attacks and spam now.

In memory of the recently lost legend Michael Jackson and celebrating the May 2014 release of his second posthumous album, here is a welcome to Annie from MJ himself.
