Account Housekeeping
As you may (or may not) be aware, Platform27 is funded by donations, which cover the monthly hosting fees.
The hosting package we have at the moment ($19 per month) allows us to have a maximum of 250 users, which we have now reached. This leaves two options open to us, either upgrade to the 500 user package ($49 a month), or see if we can clear out any unused accounts
Out of our current 250 users, 89 accounts have not been logged into in the past 6 months. 37 of these have not been touched in over a year.
So rather than jump up to the next hosting package, and spend 250% more than we do at the moment, I'd rather see if we can remove some of these unused accounts. My plan is to delete any accounts that have not been touched for 6 months, at the end of July.
If you have not used your Platform27 account recently, and want to make sure you keep it, all you need to do is log in at least once before the end of the month...
I will then carry out some housekeeping, and delete any accounts that have not been accessed in the past 6 months.
Thanks for your understanding, and thanks for choosing Platform27!

Support
Hello everyone,
I've been having some problems with the Platform27 email address, which means I've not been getting many of the emails being sent to me of late. This has (quite rightly) concerned several of you, and I can only apologise.
This post is just to remind you of the different ways that are open to you to get help with your blog...
If you just want some advice on using your blog, please post a question on The Bubble - it may be something that one of your fellow bloggers has already come across and be able to help you with. As long as you are logged in, you should be able to post an entry there, just like you do on your own blog.
If your problem is more technical, please check the extensive help pages listed in the support section.
If that doesn't help please feel free to email me directly. I will try and help where I can, or contact 21Publish on your behalf.
Finally, to contact 21Publish directly, please complete this form. 21Publish will email you a 'ticket number' and get back to you as soon as your problem has been resolved.
Thanks,
Kevling

External Blog - Requests
There seems to be a few random issues with people's external blogs not showing up. The problem now seems to be fixed - just be aware of two things:-
- that your external blog needs to offer a 'feed' (RSS) so that Platform27 can pick it up
- external blogs will only appear in the update list once we've authorised them (just to make sure they're OK)
If you've added one in the past week or so, and it doesn't seem to be working, please add a comment below and I'll look into it for you...

External Blogs
Do you have a blog elsewhere? (and no, we won't ask 'why?')
Would you like to keep your fellow P27ers up to date without having to double post everything you blog?
Simple!
If you click on "Sign Up" (when you're not already logged in, natch), there is now a new option called "Sign up an existing blog". Just pop the address of your other blog in there, and your new entries will magically appear on the Platform 27 update list, as though you posted them here.
Nifty!

Welcome to the Bubble
Remember the old "Advice" blog? Very blue, and boring looking.
Well, welcome to The Bubble...
If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, ask away in here, and one of your fellow 27'ers may have the answer.
Feel free to start any Platform27-wide discussions here as well...
Think of it as a sort of village hall, or something. Your village hall.
(We may even hold a fete.)
