Barcode is in the groups section for those of you who wish it.

Just scan it using your BlackBerry and you will be good to go.]]> Sat, 23 Mar 2013 08:41:00 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/rapidberry-bbm-group-chat.2285/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/rapidberry-bbm-group-chat.2285/ Rapid Carol Rapid Carol 2
Our criteria for removal was this.

A username with simply random letter and / or an email address that didn't match the username or an obviously spam email address.

Many users have been bringing this to our attention and we are literally starting the board from scratch.

From this point on, the board is Invite only.

Every registered member has 1,000 invites that they can use to invite people to the board.

This can be found on the third menu at the top, originally called Invites

We are not interested in massing large numbers of non-contributing users and simply want to build the board to be something useful that all registered members can get something out of.

Hopefully, this will be a step towards that.

We shall re-evaluate periodically and take on board members suggestions.

In the meantime, get your invites out ]]> Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:31:14 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/registrations.2411/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/registrations.2411/ Rapid Yvonne Rapid Yvonne 7

It took us 24 hours to convince our server company that this was the issue and they duly replaced the defective hard drive on Saturday.

You can imagine our surprise when we realised that the second hard drive was also defective on Sunday.

We had the server company replace this drive also and we restored all services earlier today.

All services are back to normal and we apologise for any inconvenience.]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:24:12 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/rapidberry-site-status.2224/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/rapidberry-site-status.2224/ Rapid John Rapid John 2

This allows you to invite friends, family, colleagues, your secret lover to the forums and get the credit for it.

Every successful invite will result in more points being added to your account.

This also reminds me that we will publish something in the next day or so, explaining the points system, how you win and lose points, and more importantly, what you can do with them.]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:48:10 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/invitation-system-now-live.1040/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/invitation-system-now-live.1040/ Rapid Carol Rapid Carol
It is brand new, so it obviously still needs populated.

To kick it off, we've added our wallpaper so you can make those BlackBerry devices look awesome and spread the Rapid word at the same time.

If you're looking for a file, please let us know and we will do our best.]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2012 13:44:24 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/downloads-section-now-live.1039/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/downloads-section-now-live.1039/ Rapid Carol Rapid Carol

Staff who are active in social media have their own social stream page, where you can see all their social media streams in one place.

Like it? Shall we add users streams as well? Would you like to see your social stream included?

Let us know.]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2012 16:31:58 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/social-streams-implemented.991/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/social-streams-implemented.991/ Rapid Yvonne Rapid Yvonne 3

We have added events so that you can immediately visit the events section of the site.

We have changed the twitter options as well.

We have created a twitter button which will take you to the @RapidBerry twitter page but we have also added a feature where you will be able to see your own twitter feed and tweet directly from the toolbar.

Once your browser cache expires your installed toolbar will update automatically. If you wish to update immediately, you can of course clear your cache manually.]]> Fri, 05 Oct 2012 05:13:19 +0000 http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/rapid-berry-toolbar-update.780/ http://rapidberry.net/forums/threads/rapid-berry-toolbar-update.780/ Rapid John Rapid John 1
