Portal Developement Officer

Just found this, I wish Roy had seen it about two years ago, he could have taken on the job & had plenty of time for his own website interests with a very nice 24K a year as well!
Just for being a doorman over on Hyndburnlite, (I don't care how many times you put in the correct password, You just ain't coming in mate.).

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Internet explorer blocked files trying to be downloded to my comp,watch it folks!

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Maybe you've got a problem but I've never had a problem downloading from this site:-
Hyndburn Borough Council

Perhaps you've got your firewall too high?

P.S. If you find a broken link that I've put in try pm-ing me before you take up space with what could be a false alarm!

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Just wondering what they wanted to download!!

I dont trust any site!!..except this one and my own!

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Then don't open the link but please, don't take it upon yourself to decide what is safe & what isn't. THAT, is part of the reason we have Moderators.

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Thanks for the bad karma for this thread....this is becoming a joke!!
Too scared to sign it again as well.

I was only telling people to be careful..................pop-ups are a pain in the ar*e.
I wonder if i get more bad karma for that!

Its a pdf file Jason. I looked and it is just the job advert.

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

I was only warning folk just to be careful.

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Maybe members can explain what the link is going to do in future threads and then we know what the website is trying to download or open!
:)

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Sounds like a good idea that Jason. It is in the rules as well, see below:

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Just to let you know Jason I didn't give you bad karma because I don't give out bad karma I only ever give out good karma (though that is very rare & the person getting it really, really has to deserve it).

However this thread is not a vendetta between you & I, it is a thread about a
Portal Developement Officer

Job, so will you please either stay on topic or sod off somewhere else & start your own thread about the values for & against links!

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

It seems to be obvious now Jason, you haven't got Acrobat on your computer, (something that probably 99.99% of computer users have got & use regularly)
THIS is whats causing your pop up NOT my link, so please sort it out and leave me and others to enjoy our P.C.'s

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

i would be more worried if hyndburns website was taking files from my pc lol

i think jasons intensions were good even hyndburns website could become infested with viruses that could spread to us

although this was clearly not the case this time at least he had the decency to speak up when he thought there was a risk

if it had been a virus and he had kept his mouth shut some of us could have been in trouble

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Well said Chav

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

I'm sorry chav but I don't think he should be excused if he was concerned he could have p.m.'d me or got in touch with the moderators as it is he has just kept everyones attention away from what the thread was started for!
If he's trying to show how clever he is then so far as I'm concerned he has FAILED, and again I ask if he wants to discuss links will he sod off & start his own thread & leave this one alone!
(I will now go and lie down in a darkened room for an hour or so, if he wants to help why doesn't he join the samaritans at least then he is anonymous & like doctors can bury his mistakes).

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

no offence ws meant less i was just trying to smooth the water so to speak

i am best suited to making trouble i think i will stick to that :)

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Portal Development Officer at £24K - I'll take it! NOW!!

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Its not that good pay for a_good_web monkey. I for one wouldn't do the job for that.

As for the discussion about posting links, In my eyes it is your own responsibility to keep your PC secure, I do it by using a secure OS. If you choose one where you need third party software (Anti Virus, Firewalls, Spy/Malware etc) then if you are prepared to click a link without knowing you will be protected then perhaps the Internet is not a place for you. You wouldn't go out your house without locking all your doors and windows, You don't think you should be protected automatically in that situation then why should the Internet be any different? Its a big bad world out there, Be safe...

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

So do you reckon that's how come Clicks&Links got the job of creating Hyndburnlite? What happens when the funding runs out?

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Probably, The other funny bit that you usually see in techy job adverts are people asking for 20 years experience in Windows 2003( or some other obvious impossible amount of exposure). Some people will bull through that they have it.

A 'good' web monkey knows his stuff, a lot of people play at web sites and think they are programmers. They usually have no idea about things like DDA compliance etc.

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

heehee you'd get on well with Brian when he was trying to point out the shortcomings of Hyndburnlite to the site owners (in the forum set up on there for that very purpose) and was being told to shut up until he knew what he was talking about and just let people enjoy the website - by people who so obviously had no idea what he was talking about!


Some of it has been ironed out since then but not without difficulty in actually trying to get them to believe that there were problems. I'm not sure what condition it's in now but I even tried contacting the creators direct and they were most indignant that I had found out how to do so. It wasn't difficult to find out who they are. I just had a naive hope that they would understand the problems and want to rectify them, working on the assumption that it was simply the mods etc who didn't have the background knowledge or ability. I was wrong.

Re: Portal Developement Officer
 

Well the job sounds OK - but I think I'll hold out applying until they want to employ someone capable of exciting the ABOVE AVERAGE citizen - which would include everyone on AccyWeb!!! That job will be worth a fortune!!!
