Starting up
Well, I decided to take the leap and had Dolphin Geeks install dolphin etc on my website. So far so good. No major issues and they did it in about 24 hours. But inplaying with it the auto email confirmation(critial to any online community) is not working. So they are looking at it nbow (sunday morning - not too bad service)-
and in a very short while they had it working!
I would really like to start tossing money at it to install some extra stuff I'd like, but am forcing myself to wait until I can see what the bare system can do.
My first impressions are it is a bit non-intuitive, possibly becasue they have worked on it for so long it all makes sesne to them. I sometimes get odd error messages which should not comeup - such as an error of my description nedding more letters when it is fine, just a different frild not filled out. I don't think everyone is all that familiar with tags, and I was looking for a way to tell it to accept no entered tags, but so far no luck at that. Also looking for a way to change the text that says "description"
My main stumbling block (other than less than stellar compuskills) is that it is so tied up in being a dating site, and I want to use it for a non-dating purpose. So I have to uninstal or re-do bits of it so it makes more sense.
I do wish there was a spell checker in it. I type too fast and make too many typos in writing up stuff.
