Regarding logo perhaps a simple ED would suffice. Flickr's pink underlined F is a pretty immediate identifier. I think a photo compressed to that size unless it's very simple will be a bit squishy.


Now to the next point, Mr administrator I hope this doesn't smack of disloyalty, I'm sure JoGoJo will be setting up an entirely different forum.


Assuming the forum is not going to be a rival to this one I'm happy to advise ;)

Plenty of software available on the ether, much of it opensource and either free of charge or a small fee for technical support etc. Then you'll need some sort of host, usually broadband service provision comes with a few MB of web space hosted generally on unix-apache which will support 90% of the solutions out there.


For blogging there are loads available:

movable type

word press

grey matter


for forum software there are a load of java based ones

such as these

or csharp ones

such as these

or Vanilla

and frankly hundreds more.

I believe this uses phorum which is PHP MySql which powers an awful lot of the stuff you see out there.


Setting it up will be a little more involved than pointing and clicking, you'll need to know something about ftp, but all of the above have pretty good tutorials on their websites.


Hope this helps, and i look forward to seeing www.noteastdulwichforummaybesomethingaboutdoggroomingforum.co.uk soon :)

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
