Website Outtage

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, July 22 @ 12:10pm

Due to a change at our ISP that took far longer (and caused more problems) than we anticipated, the website and email were down for most of yesterday.

If you sent any email to the Association that bounced back with an error, please resend.

Website Updates

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Saturday, May 24 @ 5:26pm

The website has been updated with a newer revision of software that adds a few new features (primarily for residence owners). However, please note that this is a beta version of the software and may contain bugs or other unexpected behavior.

If you notice a problem, please send an email to webmaster@maxwellcreek.org with the details.

Message Boards Active!

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Monday, April 25 @ 10:02pm

After way too much testing and rewriting and retesting (the message boards were originally working almost a year ago), we've gone ahead and opened up the server to allow people to create user accounts and post messages. There are bound to be some problems and errors with something, but we're just not sure what at this point. If you run into any problems, please send a message to webmaster@maxwellcreek.org and let us know.

Once we shake out all of the bugs, we'll gradually start enabling new features.

Web Site Reorganization

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, March 22 @ 9:50am

We're in the process of reorganizing a few sections of the web site to make it easier to find information; basically, we're trying to become more task-oriented, rather than information-oriented.

There may be a few problems here and there that we've missed, but hopefully everything is working. Depending on how much time is available, everything should settle down in the next few weeks.

New Searching Ability

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Friday, June 25 @ 1:23pm

A new page has been added to the site search that shows a complete list of all documents available on the site.

Searching of the Web Site Now Available

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Thursday, April 22 @ 1:10pm

Searching of the web site is now available. At this time, it allows searching of the articles and news items on the site, but not the soon-to-be-available message boards. A few examples are below:

  • Show all articles containing the word "newsletters".
  • Show all articles containing the word "pictures".
  • Show all articles containing the word "proxy", but don't include articles that also have the word "election".

There are bound to be a few gliches since it hasn't been extensively tested yet. Please let us know if you run into any problems.

Browser Cleanup

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Monday, March 22 @ 12:59pm

Several parts of the web site were redesigned last weekend to clean up the display in IE and other browsers. A few areas are still broken slightly, but should be cleaned up over the next few weeks.

If the page still doesn't look correct in your browser, please let us know.

Web Site Changes

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Friday, March 19 @ 11:05am

Just a quick note that the a good portion of the core database code as well as the code behind all of the article IDs and news items was revised today. While everything appears is working correctly, it's possible that there are a few broken links here and there. Please let us know if you see anything.

Site Migrated Successfully

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Sunday, February 29 @ 7:01am

Well, it looks as though the migration has gone smoothly so far. There are a few areas of the site that aren't active yet, such as the message boards, searching the site, and the directory. Right now, our focus is on getting ready for the annual meeting in April, so those three items probably won't be working until sometime after the meeting.

If you see any problems on the site, please let us know!

Web Site Moving!

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Friday, February 27 @ 3:08pm

It is extremely likely that we will be migrating the web site to a new provider this weekend. When that occurs, there may be some downtime both of the web site itself, as well as email to the officers of the HOA. We expect to have everything migrated and working by Monday.

Also, we forgot to mention that if you're using Internet Explorer for your browser, that most of the pages don't display correctly, due to bugs that Microsoft has known about for years, but refuses to fix. We've temporarily made a few changes that enable the pages to be viewed in IE, however we'd prefer not to write work-arounds if necessary.

We highly recommend that you try an alternate internet browser application that properly supports industry standards, as well as offer additional features, such as Mozilla, Firefox, or Opera.

Upcoming Web Site Changes

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Monday, July 14 @ 12:00am

Just a quick update on the status of the new web site: most of the behind-the-scenes work has been completed. So far, about 90% of the content has been migrated to the new server, and message boards are about 80% complete. If all goes well, we would like to be moved to the new server by September 1st, however having said that, some new problem will probably pop up!

Upcoming Site Changes!

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Friday, January 3 @ 12:00am

We've added a page detailing the upcoming changes to the web site, and are looking for your input for additional items you may be interested in. Please take a look and let us know!

Neighborhood Information

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Monday, August 12 @ 12:00am

Opened up the Neighborhood information page, which has information available about the city of Allen, the Maxwell Creek subdivision, and the beginnings of a neighborhood directory. Most of the information available is still in development, and lacking in several areas; for instance, details about which home models were built in the neighborhood is sorely lacking. This section of the site will improve drastically over time, and we wanted to give you an idea of what was to come.

Open for Business!

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Monday, July 8 @ 12:00am

The Villages at Maxwell Creek Home Owners Association page is now officially open! We're still working on adding additional content, and a few areas such as the Bulletin-Board and complaints / comments are not yet ready, however we hope to have everything completely functional by the end of July. Please look around and let us know what you think!

Printer-Friendly Pages

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, July 2 @ 12:00am

Added the ability to print any page on the site in a printer friendly format. Simply click on the printer icon in the divider bar in the upper or lower right-hand corner of your browser window to see it in action. This removes the entire header, footer, and any extraneous information, leaving you with just the page content.

Covenants Online!

Web Site Changes / Updates

Posted by rbutler on Friday, June 28 @ 12:00am

Added a copy of the Home Owners Association Covenants.
