Quite an epic evening last night. A large male and a large female turned up. I was on my new viewing plinth, about five feet up. They had fun for 20 mins or so finding the peanut stashes I’d left. Then the (highly intelligent!) male worked out that the motionless creature draped in black, on the...

There’s actually no need for specific member email addresses (although I’ve wondered about offering that as a perk, but decided against it for now). Newsletters/mailings are sent from the main Litopia admin address, maintenance is user-controlled. We’ve got a screen in place for the public to...

I'm still building this out, so tell me the specs you want :) Currently, all we’re actually doing is collecting subscriber details with the relevant list name. Hopefully will be done within the month. Yup, and thank you for noticing, that was indeed the aim! We automatically send different...

That’s not so easy :) It can absolutely be done, but it will need more code, it’s not just a switch I can throw instantly. Could go a lot further, e.g. most recent benefactors / names or anon / buy a message on the Colony home page for 24hrs(!)… anything is possible...!

We have some significant expenses coming up, specifically to do with our return to YouTube, so any and all contribs gratefully received :)

Just a note that we’ve added a small new feature that you might like, “Colony Karma”. It allows any member, Colony (the new name for Basic) or Full, to toss a little cash into the pot. Why Karma? Because what goes around, comes around. It’s in the right-hand sidebar (on full screens) towards...

Fixed :) p.

I'll work on it this morning :)

That’s exactly what it is, in fact. Litopia runs on two completely different software platforms: the Colony (colony.litopia.com) which is our forums/social area and the main Litopia site (litopia.com) which runs everything else, including the Author Platform. I know this is confusing. I’ve...

Sure :) Go to the Subscriptions section of your Account Page, here's s direct link to it: https://litopia.com/account/?action=subscriptions You may need to log in there first. :) p.

Yeah, I think that a pretty common reaction in fact. Writers tend to do it alone! :) p.

Yeah, it's a different login, here: https://litopia.com/login/ And you may need to reset your password there. Once done, you can generally leave both sites (Colony and Platform) permanently logged in, i.e. no need to log out of one to log into the other. But do keep separate passwords, it's...

Fyi, Litopia has never actually made money :) Historically, there was no thought of charging folk anything for, hmm, at least the first decade or two. That was really the predominant ethos of the internet back then, charging for access to a “bulletin board” was simply not on the agenda. When...

I think that’s a real drawback, actually. How many other potential members do folk actually know? The deal would be, the person you introduced would get a discount too, so both parties would get something out of it.
