We still good for tomorrow?

Yes. I'll be there! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

- Lisa

I’ll be there as well. Looking forward to meet the other Adelaide members

Hi Adelaide Crew,

Can I get a show of hands please for who's coming tonight? Give this post a thumbs up only if you plan on attending.

I can't make it Lisa, as I said in my message to you, and I know that a few of the members who live in Adelaide have day jobs and might not be checking SM while at work so they might not read your post until after work, so you might get a bunch of likes (thumbs up; meaning they are attending) just before the meet-up rather than during the day.

Who left me in charge to organise this thing? (Retorical question because I volunteered)

I just found out that because Adelaide has the worst Casino in the world and that Westward bar is closed (despite advertising a happy hour on Mondays).

Last minute change of location to Chandelier bar, still inside the Casino, on the left when you come in the main entrance from King William st. Hopefully the poor weather hasn't scared everyone away.

I'll be there with my little sign I made up

Looking very official @Unsophisticated !!

Be sure to keep some receipts so i can reimburse you for a few rounds.

Big thanks to @SudMav & @Summer12 for braving the wet weather & navigating the last min venue change to meet up for a drink.

I think we had some really great discussions & I personally got a lot out of it!. Hopefully with a bit better planning, we might see some more faces next time.

Thank you for organising @Unsophisticated i too got a lot out of it.

Till next time.

Nice one guys. Wish i could have joined you @Unsophisticated @Summer12 @SudMav

I’m a fellow Adelaidian as well. I haven’t seen any events set up yet from my 1.5 years on the platform, but I’d definitely be interesting in the networking and discussing ideas if you were to organise something.

i would just need to plan a little in advance so I can make sure that my wife is all good to look after the little one without my help

@Lisa_Llama I think you may have direct messaging off, as it wont let me open the DM you sent me.

Happy to meet up too.

@SudMav , I've checked, my DMs are definitely open. Not sure why you can't see it.

weird as. @Strawman am I missing something?

I can see the 1 message icon but it just refreshes and goes back to the portfolio screen after I click.

In case @Strawman is having a day off, I may be able to help @SudMav - when this has happened to me before, on my PC, I ran CCleaner and/or restarted my PC to clear the cache and the site then works OK. This also fixes an error when the newfeed won't feed past a set number of posts and straws.

If you are using a mobile device such a phone I'm not sure what the equivalent is, but reloading Strawman.com or the app with a fresh memory on your device seems to fix most errors. I'll send you a message now myself - see if it arrives.

Thanks @Bear77. I have tried all of the above and both my phone and computer and neither is working. I can still receive/read DMs from other people on the forum. I'll wait to see what Andrew has to say

No - there is definitely a problem. When I click "Direct Message" from your home page or other members' home pages, it opens up a message diaglogue box and allows me to compose and then send a DM, but when I click on "Direct Message" from @Lisa_Llama's home page, it just acts like a refresh button and refreshes her home page - so the issue that you are describing @SudMav seems to be confined to @Lisa_Llama's ability to receive messages and possibly have her messages received by others. So I've DM'd @Strawman to let him know there's an issue there.

Sorry for the slow reply @SudMav . Yeah, I see the same thing too. But just for @Lisa_Llama DMs..

Weird, but we'll get it sorted. Actually have been doing a bunch of stuff behind that scenes that should make bug fixes and new feature adds MUCH easier going forward. (I'm actually really excited to unveil a bunch of new stuff "soon").

In the meantime, I'm definitely encouraging of a SA meetup and happy to do what I can t help coordinate.

If DMs are glitchy, easiest to coordinate on the forums or just email me direct.

Sorry @Lisa_Llama i can't read your message.

Hi again,

Whilst my DM issue is being sorted out, I've asked for an email to be forwarded to those of you who have responded to this thread. (If you're Adelaide based, but not in the thread & want to be included please make yourself known)

In the meantime, I'll throw out a couple of ideas. I'd like to suggest the CBD as a neutral location, and after normal business hours would suit me better. Alternatively, Mawson Lakes, or somewhere in the North outside of regular business hours works too.

Possible day/time:

A. Sunday 14th June 11:00am (Mawson Lakes)

B. Mon 15th June, 5:30pm (CBD)

C. Wed 17th - 5:30pm, (CBD)

D. Other - make a new suggestion.

We got it all sorted @Lisa_Llama -- it was something to do with the underscore in your username. Easy to fix, i'm just surprised it hadnt come up before!

Let us know if you still have any issues, but it should be good now.

To test, I'll DM you about the catch-up. I'd like to buy a round or two of drinks for everyone.

Hi @Lisa_Llama, great Initiative! Can you keep me on the thread please? If Monday 15th in CBD happens I could drop in for a while, at least long enough to have 1 beer on the straw-tab!

Monday 15th is the best day out of that list for me :)

keen to meet the Adelaide members
