  1. This article quotes the Observer, not the report itself. I'm sure if you check that source you'll see this information written.
  2. You need to tell me where this post is...
  3. Next BidIndex will be this week. Leafs Fan has been warned.
  4. If you look at the forum rules - we do not allow the posting of full copyrighted articles - you may only post short previews and links. Actually, it's not our rule - it's the law. Especially in your case where you tend to use articles from Canada.com and other Southam publications - we have already been warned by them for this activity. we cannot allow it to continue. Actually, you've been lucky. We should be banning members for this activity. Please refrain from doing so in the future. Also remember, off-topic posts belong in the off-topic forum. Creating a "Vancouver Off-Topic Discussion" doesn't cut it.
  5. We'll decide once we know the shortlist. On the previous question - we delete the old off-topic forum topics frequently. The others are left much longer.
  6. I guess we'll find out
  7. Do you want me to delete your old account or reactivate it and delete the new account?
  8. We have not scheduled a date yet.
  9. If you want to sign up and pay with cash, send me a PM indicating so and I will activate your membership immediately. I will then send you an address to forward your $10 to.
  10. If you can check your credit card transactions online, you can retrieve the information that PayPal requires (refer to the PayPal site). Unfortunately, we can only accept checks from a Canadian bank, the processing fee is too high if they come from other countries. Of course, you can send cash but that will likely take longer than just waiting for your credit card info - and we don't recommend sending cash through the mail.
  11. I've included the link - it's actually simpler to just use http://www.pyeongchang2014.org
  12. Leafs Fan has been warned
  13. It has been removed for all future edits.
  14. Il sera mis à jour de temps en temps, quand la nouvelle information est disponible.
  15. Watch for the news VERY soon.
  16. It seems to work for me, you'll have to give me more info, e.g. browser type, etc.
  17. BidIndex will launch as soon as there is enough information available to fill our formula. We are almost there and will probably publish it in January - shortly before the min bid-books are released.
  18. Premium Membership does not change "picture postings".
  19. I thought we covered this in another thread? Anyhow, there are several things to comment on, especially the language barrier. Of course, we tend to have more English language items available to us but we do use several foreign language publications. Much of our news comes directly from bids themselves. The "BidFocus" is simply a search for the mention of a particular bid in an article, it's not meant to look for articles specifically about a bid. New York has so many pages mostly because it has been bidding at some level since 2000. Most of the other bids joined much later. London has been very vocal about its bid - even though it wasn't official until a couple of months ago - for quite some time. And, as you mentioned, the aggressive British press has extracted more news about London in comparison to other cities. Hopefully as time goes on, we'll build better relationships with the bids and get more inside information and press releases. Remember, it's still very early and most bids don't have established PR firms yet. If you look at our experience with 2010, we communicated with each bid regularly - regardless of language barrier - but that was only after shortlisting.
  20. It means no advertising. Basically, it's alright to trade stuff or sell it personally (i.e. from member-to-member) but any posts from people who represent companies or organizations selling stuff and they are advertising their stuff, is forbidden.
  21. JA - I added the two mods you sent me - let me know what happens. PYRROSS - I'm not sure why you can't add Greek, all I know is the discussion software is designed for English so it may not contain Greek character support.
  22. Honestly, I'm not sure why. Since you've raised the issue I've tested it on a variety of machines and browsers and they all seem to work. In mozzilla, did you bookmark GB before or after you raised the question? If before you may want to delete it and re-add it. I added a line of code that could help.
  23. It shows up in a link, but it's supposed to show up in Netscape and Mozilla and Firebird in the url at the top. I can take a screen capture and show you an example if you provide me an email address. (This applies to Moderator too!). No special programming is needed at the website. It picks up the image from the standard favicon.ico file. It shpws up in the URL line in all of my browsers. I believe you, no need to send a link. Perhaps you should clear your cache or something like that?
  24. GamesBids.com DOES have a favicon and always has. Click here to view It doesn't seem to work on Netscape or Mozilla. I certainly don't see it, and I see every other favicon on other websites using Mozilla. Have you checked it yourself? It seems to work for IE 5.5 and IE 6 for me. I'm looking at it right now. Have you tried it from the main GamesBids.com site or just the forums? - in some cases it may not work in the forums due to the use of CGI scripts.
