Quick Notes

Just a quick update that the Diva Wifi link has been fixed and fixed the website not showing up in Firestorm. hypergriding should also still show as grid.furvalleysos.com while furvalleysos.com shows this site even though the certificate is invalid(which is currently being investigated).

Updates

Evening everyone, lots of things happening in the last 24 so here's the rundown: FurValleysOS.TK became FurValleysOS.Com after a domain was unamously donated to us for the year, and the grid info is now grid.furvalleysos.com:1024 instead of the ip address. Little issue with https certificates but for whatever reason HTTPS shows this isn't a safe site when it is. We've also added a better cart system that allows you to Subscribe for $10/mo instead of handling single payments that allow you to use a CC or Paypal, plus an option to use Amazon pay. I might try to see about using Virwox for payments also for those that enjoy using alternative currency. None of these interact directly with the grid so it stays free. Been having trouble linking the Diva Wifi pages to blogger correctly and it will eventualy get there, but for now we're linking all that stuff to the Diva Wifi pages. I've also had thoughts of deep-sixing the website and set up a terminal visitors can go to for account creation, managing, etc.. this way all someone has to do is HG into the grid first, then set up their account. Only problem is I know nothing about creating such a device :D Also for whatever reason map tiles in-world stopped showing, but the regions are saving the tiles so I dunno. It's probably something to do with MySQL and whatever was set up when I had Joomla going. In the meantime I'm working on a surface build that's more friendly/softer for visitors and will move the space station to Kitsune Sea for my own personal use. After this post goes out I'll be working on a wish list for the grid that will include everything we'd like to get or see out of our OpenSim experience. Thanks everyone, Logan

How'd we end up here...

Evening everyone, back to using Blogger for the website and dispite what the doman says, the site itself is very secure with https. So, here's what happened. To make a quick fix I at first set it so that anyone that registered would require manual account creation. This was slow and cumbersome so I moved everything to Joomla using the JOpenSim plugin which worked good at first but then started having issues with confusion and accounts not always being created, and now since region pay requres HTTPS, everything's back on blogspot until Google decides what their doing with it. That being said, the registration form for account creation now does it's thing automatically using the Diva Distro forms and will soon add a capcha to help deter would-be bots or spammers. The form also allows same email address to be used on alt accounts and the creation of custom first and last name. If it doesn't check for it, at some point it will be set to check wither that avatar name;s been taken or not. Website portal creation is the only thing at the moment that's manual as the pages are custom done per user. To be honest I've always enjoyed the theme I chose for the site. It feels homey but professional. In the coming weeks I'll be adding a destination guide, stats area, grid map similar to the one JOG uses and other stuff. At some point I'll probably try to make a bot or something that auto posts events in this area here. Also the dot tk is a redirect but always use that url to get here. I don't forsee a need to change it to a dot com, net, or org, so it's staying how it is. 2019's proved interesting for the valleys so far for the greater good, let's see how long it lasts, shall we? ^_^

Movin on Up

Afternoon everyone, just a quick note that as of 2/19/2019 we've begun the process of moving the valleys off OSGrid and onto it's own grid. Nothing is 100% complete as the site here needs to be updated heavily for registration pages, covenant, account migrations, etc... stay tuned.

Welcome Everyone!

Welcome everyone to the official website for the Fur Valleys, an estate in OSGrid OpenSim. There aren't normally many updates estate wide so these posts will be far and few in-between(there's usually more going on in-world then on here). We hope everyone's doing good in 2019 and if not, we hope it gets better for you. We're now officially at 48 regions making us the largest estate in all of OSGrid and are still located just West of Lbsa Plaza. All site pages have been updated and we're thinking of creating three new pages but not sure just yet. The first would be named MEMBERS and would list current and previous members of the valleys. The second page would be named PROJECTS and list all the projects that are on our minds to help the valleys out, and the third would be named STAFF and list all the current and previous staff members.
