CLEANING UP
by site administrator 07 Oct 11
Hello Everyone
I've been doing some cleaning up around the site and it's possible, if your email address appears not to be a bona fide personal address, that your account has been deleted. It's very hard to tell, sometimes, which addresses are for genuinely personal accounts, as there's a surprising number of people who seem to be devoted to infiltrating sites like ours for nefarious purposes. So it's possible that there are still unwelcome accounts on the site and if you do receive any unwanted messages, as some folk have recently, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY.
Thank you
Mike Noble.

Perfect vehicle for Black Isle community


by Mike Noble
Chatterbox's website is now interactive and within styling constraints it can develop pretty much as its users want it to.
It provides a convenient means for anyone to submit stories and all sorts of other content for publication in the quarterly printed version of Chatterbox magazine and there's no reason why it shouldn’t grow into a much wider means of community communication for news and events etc.

It can host many private and public user groups, allowing interaction for clubs, groups and other community organisations, as well as accommodating individual users. It also allows for the hosting and publishing of multiple content managed websites .

Important message for all members
by site administrator 27 Oct 09
(From Site Administrator)

Please update your home page with a little information about yourself, as an aid to communications - and, preferably, (to brighten things up!) also add an 'avatar; which you can either choose from the library, or add a photo.
This is important because, in order to protect the site from bogus users, I propose to periodically edit all members' details and I may remove from the site any weird or unrecognizable users whose entry does not include some sort of personal description.

To update your details on your home page, click on your name at top left (under the Chatterbox logo) and then click the 'edit' tab and type in a short description. Click the avatar to update it.
Please note that photos are limited in size to 1MB, so you may need to edit them before you upload them - (you will receive a warning if you don't!)

Joining CHATTERBOX INTERACTIVE doesn't involve you in becoming a member of the Chatterbox committee (unless you want to, of course), so there are no meetings to attend, minutes to read, or any of that stuff. But it does give you the opportunity to communicate with other group members from your computer (if you want to) and, for instance, pick up on any current story leads and write them up for submission and publication in Chatterbox magazine.
All CHATTERBOX INTERACTIVE items will show on your screen when you have joined.

If you live in or have connections with our area of the Black Isle, in the Scottish Highlands, here is a great way to interact with others without leaving your desktop!
Just send me a message that you'd like to join CHATTERBOX INTERACTIVE. Click this link - editor@chatterboxnews.co.uk
