FOR YOUR INFORMATION (F.Y.I.) TOPIC

Post by agakhani »

Admin,
I noticed that now a days Forum section does not have much activity, it is like dead for long time. Ismaili.Net is very informative website in Ismaili community, I found many healthy discussion in forum section but not any more for some unknown reason.
Here is my suggestion to Admin please add one more topic in forum section: "FOR YOUR INFORMATION" OR IN SHORT 'F.Y.I.' I personally beleive that this new topic will be healpful to bring forum section in live.
I will try to put some information every week.
I know Ismaili.net already have 'DID YOU KNOW' section but in this section readers can not involve in discussion.

Ok section opened. And all interesting short "Did you know" will be added to the database so that it will also appear random on the main page.

The new section is under "Others" first item.

It seems that the response to suggestions/questions by Admin is somewhat selective. i.e. no response was given to my suggestion here. :-(

Just carious

Post by agakhani »

Admin,
I am just carious about one thread which has been deleted recently, IT WAS VERY HOT THREAD AND MANY READERS WERE PARTICIPATING IN IT, GOOD DISCUSSION WAS ALSO GOING ON, THE TOPIC WAS ON "SHIRAZ VIRANI; WHETHER HE IS ISMAILI OR NOT'? I will highly appreciate if you kindly give me reason for that deletion.
Recently he wrote his confession in that thread upon my advice and that confession was fair enough to count him as an Ismaili as per my understanding of his confession.

Forums are for exchanging ideas and information.

They can never be allowed to degenerate into a one person's trial or questioning the way it was done.

Forums will stay for decades and centuries not only here but on search engines such as Yahoo and Google.

I like to see discussion that brings light to subject related to Ismailis and which would be relevant decades from now.

I failed to see how the discussion on the subject/person you have mentioned will benefit the community.

Admin,
Thanks for the decent reply, good to know that you care about the information in which readers can take vantage from it rather then unimportant and not beneficiary hot discussion.

Ever since I come to this forums, when I go to the topic such as Doctrine discussion, the old message always come first rather then the new one. If you don't mine, can you please make the new message to come first rather than previews to make it easier for us to access the message.

Regard

Check if in the bottom there is not a place where you can set the new message first. I can see it in my page but maybe because I have some special permissions on the page. It is supposed to be in all users page in the bottom as a choice

Admin,

Could you change the topic "Nurjehan Mawani, AKDN - Kyrgyz interview"

to: "Institutional Activities in Kyrgyztan".

I think the scope of the thread has expanded since the original post.

Thanks

Admin,
I just received warning from google chrom that Ismaili.net contain content from www.kbc.co.ke, a site known to distribute malware. Your computer might catch a virus if you visit this site.
and bla bla bla....
If you understand that visiting this site ( Ismaili.net) may harm your computer, then proceed.


I visited Ismaili.net any way, I don't see any problem so far but I thought I should draw your attentinon in this matter, so I am contacting by this post, does any one else beside me complain about this warning? It is just started yesterday.
The strange think is if you use IE then no warning pop up but if you visit Ismaili.net using Google Chrome then the above warning pop up!!!

KBC is the Kenya official TV station.

I have not have any problem visiting it.

However, it may happen to any website and this is a reason why usually we prefer not to point surgers to outside links.

Just for more info on this problem, I am also receiving the error. Ignore it temporarily.

For the admin, this is what it looks like:

It's nothing urgent, and i dont think anything to stress over, but the only concern is it might just slow traffic to this site.. (by chrome users at least)... [/img]

Thanks for letting us know. We have removed the link to the site. It was pointing to a nice photo of Hazar Imam opening the Cancer Center last July in Nairobi.

I am not sure what you are talking about. The link says Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, I used to watch the news on TV on KBC, I also coordinated meetings for the creation of a Press Club in Kenya with journalists friends from KBC whose web site it is so what exactely are you saying about KBC, that is is not Kenya TV?

Admin,
Not a big issue bro, you are correct, now it shows what you are saying but couple days ago it was showing some thing different, now it is fine with me as long as my computer doesn't give me any warning that not to open Ismaili.net websites.

Couple days ago it was giving following warning, please click the link below for more detail, it was clearly showing the name of Ismaili.net and also clearly showing the name of that web site which I mentioned in my above post i.e. www.kbc.co.ke.

http://postimage.org/image/159wad8ck/

By the way, this kind warning doesn't appear any more, that means that this problem has been solved, my only intention was to bring this problems/warning to your attention and not to create a big issue for this small topic.
