Adding Birthdays

Teaser: 

We're in the process of adding people's birthdays to the calendar. Let us know if we missed yours!

Fresh From The Brewery: 

We're in the process of adding people's birthdays to the calendar. Access your user account, click "edit," then "Personal Info," (at top), and fill in your birthday so we don't miss it! And if for some reason you don't see yours on the calendar let us know!

I've also enhanced the calendar display a bit so you get a nice looking calendar day as opposed to this cryptic timezone stuff :)

Hiccups and Burps

Fresh From The Brewery: 

The past few weeks have been rough on tnbc.net. Stale beers, stalled voting, and various burps and hiccups. Now we seem to be in the clear finally. Keep your fingers crossed, pour yourself a cold one, laugh at a random silly gallery photo featuring various TNBC dorks, and stay tuned to Site News for updates.

Voting Tap Runs Dry?

Voting Tap Runs Dry?

Fresh From The Brewery: 

Having problems voting for your favorite frosty lately? Sorry! We lost some files in the transition to new, higher quality vats; but have now imported the missing barley and are ready to pump it back up. TNBC'ers, man your taps, and vote away. Jimmy's Oyster Bar is currently in the lead. Don't like it? Send someone else to the top of your mug :)

Weekend Hangover

TNBC.net has a major weekend hangover after drinking too much the week before.

Fresh From The Brewery: 

TNBC.net has a major weekend hangover after drinking too much the week before. The site passed out for the duration of the weekend and took its time getting back online. Functionality is now mostly restored, and we've branched off to a single site installation, which is more stable. We're also on new servers.

TNBC Server Orders Stale Beer

Teaser: 

TNBC Back Online!

Apologies to those that tried to access the site in the last 24 hours...we're back online now :)

Fresh From The Brewery: 

TNBC Back Online!

Apologies to those that tried to access the site in the last 24 hours - some technical stuff that I won't bore you with caused the site to go down temporarily, and I wasn't made aware of the problem until just now. The excellent server support team had our site back up and running in 3 minutes. Not bad. They deserve a nice cold one :D
