The word is short for bulletin board or message board. That's where anyone can pin up a notice so that everyone else can read it. You can go to the board to read it anytime you like, put up a message anytime you like, come back to look for new messages anytime you like and add more comments ... if you like. Only thing is, this message board is on the Internet and so, theoretically, anyone in the world can join in. In the case of this board, however, you would have to be a member of the GASLine Private Pod first.
I hope that by having this facility, we will be able to discuss anything about the hospital that may affect us in any way. The biggest problem of trying to discuss something face-to-face is that it is almost impossible to find a time that will suit everyone so that we can all meet and discuss the matter. By having our own bulletin board, we will be able to discuss even trivial matters without holding a meeting. A consensus can be formed and our views can then be presented to the hospital via the proper channels.
At GASLine, click on Board, then click on the topic that you are interested in. Read what the proposer of the topic has to say, and then move on to the GASBoard to read what others have written and to add your own comments.
First, go to the GASBoard. Next, select the topic that you are interested in by clicking on it.
Not too difficult, I hope.
Click on Add New Message. Enter a Subject heading to give the others an idea of what you want to say, then type in your comments in the large text box marked Board. When you are satisfied with your work of art, click on Submit Conference.
Only changes to the main pages are considered as updates. Comments added to the board are not counted as updates. However, if a new topis is added, this is considered an update and will be brought to your attention in the Main Index page when you first visit the site.
Sure, I would be most happy if all of you could come up with topics for discussion. That way, this board will be well utilised and I can have a rest from trying to think up the next topic for discussion.
At the moment the easiest way is to send an e-mail to me, or to pass me the necessary documents by hand. I will then try my best to get it up on the board as soon as possible. As always, whenever possible, give everything to me in electronic form, pleazzzzzzzze
Hey, I don't know everything you know. Go ask Tripod.
Seriously though, I am not sure why their server for the message boards is so slow but please do wait until the new page you requested for has loaded. It is so slow that it seems to have hung but if you just wait a bit longer, I assure you, the message board does work.
See answer to the last question. I'm no magician.
Well, I can't actually help you to speed up the downloading of the GASBoard web pages but there is something else you can do,
- First of all, try not to surf during the peak hours which is approximately 21:00 h to 01:00 h, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.
- Secondly, you can try opening the GASBoard page in a new window. Right click on the GASBoard hyper-link and click on Open in New Window. After that, you can return to your original window and surf the other pages for a minute or two before returning to the window loading the GASBoard. This does not speed up the loading of the GASBoard but you won't be wasting so much time waiting for it to load.
Well, it sure ain't a bear. It's a marsupial, just like the kangaroo.
Will someone pleaes tell me what these questions are doing here?
