Its crazy right? This time last year I really thought COVID would burst the property bubble. But it just keeps growing and getting more expensive. When’s it going to pop? 🎈
Hi Kobi – I hadn’t added an upload documents link.
I’m a little bit cautious to add too many buttons, also a little bit cautious about spammers/viruses.
So let’s try out this compromise – forum moderators now get this add media link above the comment box. People who aren’t moderators only get the little image icon on the right which only allows image uploads (jpg, png, gif).
Do you think that might solve the issue?
What kind of things do you think people will want to upload, other than images?
@loisknight *I think* cohousing is supposed to be housing that shares some resources, like living, laundry, kitchen or garden spaces. That would usually make the housing costs more affordable. And they might also share other things like occassional meals and social support.
Here is an example in Melbourne that seems interesting. It seems like a bigger thing in different forms in Northern Europe and the U.S
I helped my neighbour move out from a domestic violence situation on the weekend. Its SO HARD to make the move from one rental to another. You have to pack up, clean, find another place, pay bond and rent, pay transport to move your stuff, buy new things, find new housemates. But to do all that while moving stuff out and having an ex-partner yelling and sabotaging… There are so many reasons and traps that keep people living with DV. But its really tragic that moving between private rentals is another one.
There should be something like the opposite of bond, a grace period to help you cover the cost of moving or something!
ITS ALIVE !!! 🧟🧟🧟
This site has now moved to its forever home at houseonfire.oldertenants.org.au
I think everything should work even faster here.
Let me know if there are still any issues,
but feel free to share and get it out there! @kobi-maglenoldertenants-org-auSounds like good news. By the way here is Dini’s media release about the NSW budget, I hope you like my meme?
Thanks for feedback @francesevery 🙏
What was the PDF you wanted to upload? We could add a thing to allow attachments if it would be useful? But I’m just careful not to add too many buttons, it could get too confusing!
What happened when you tried to post two links? Did the reply disappear? Or maybe was it using the link button (the chain icon) above the reply box?
I also wanted to thank @mariechase-sillars here for helping me fix an issue with the Facebook login 🙏. Hopefully its working smoothly now?
So I also added this thing so you can write @someonesname eg @kobi-maglenoldertenants-org-au and it will automatically link to their username, kinda like it does on twitter.
Hi Kobi! Great idea. I’ve added that link to the header menu. And you’ll see down the bottom now we also have links to ‘Our Community’ and recent replies.
We also now have a Privacy Policy and a ‘Code of Conduct‘. So play nice OK? 😜
Yes that’s a good idea, I’ve moved the ‘personal’ updates we had made so far into the NASH group.
But you’ll see if you go to ‘My Profile’ that you can still post an update just about yourself. Is that confusing and weird? Or could it still be a useful feature?
Wow I’ve heard some horror stories but I’ve never heard about it ending up in court! That’s quite intense.
