| {{Header|green|Hoax Virus Warnings}} | | {{NewEmbassy}} |
| This e-mail is not spam. You've received it from UFOP: StarBase 118 RPG
| | {{Roster |
| Group, which you appear to be a member of. If you are no longer a member,
| | |SHIP = Duronis II Embassy |
| refer to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ufop-announce .
| | |<onlyinclude> |
| -------------------
| | {{Officer|Rear Admiral|Turner, Toni|Red|Commanding Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| There have been a number of Virus Warnings going on the Yahoogroups lists
| | {{Officer|Lt. Commander|Parker, Hannibal|Red|First Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| lately. I wanted to update everyone of the validity (or rather, lack
| | {{Officer|Captain|Frazier, Samal Ezra|Red|Commanding Officer of <br />[[USS Bronwyn]] (NPC Ship)|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| thereof) of one such warning, and educate you on where you can go to find
| | {{Officer|Lieutenant|Anora Manar|Red|Mission Specialist|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| more information.
| | {{Officer|Ambassador|Vetri, Della|Red|Diplomatic Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| | | {{hr|Marines}} |
| First: The "jdbgmgr.exe" file is NOT a virus. You may have received an | | {{Officer|Colonel|Waltas, Tyr|Green|Marine CO <br />Strategic Operations Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| e-mail which said this file, which has a teddy-bear icon, is a hoax and how
| | {{Officer|Major|Flemming, Drayke|Green|Marine & JAG Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| to delete it from your computer. This file is actually the Java Debugger
| | {{hr|Security & Tactical}} |
| for Windows. Although there are viruses which may infect this file, chances
| | {{Officer|Lt. Commander|Pavlova, Irina|Gold|Chief of Security/Tactical|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| are you are NOT infected with one of them.
| | {{hr|Security}} |
| | | {{Officer|Ensign|Cain, Daniel|Gold|Security Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| Second: If you receive a virus warning, please DO NOT e-mail it to the
| | {{hr|Engineering}} |
| Yahoogroups lists for UFOP. All Yahoogroups lists in UFOP are configured to
| | {{Officer|Lieutenant JG|Lupo, Toni|Gold|Engineer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| discard attachments, which means that you CANNOT distribute a virus through
| | {{hr|Medical-Blue}} |
| the Yahoogroups lists. If you have a legitimate virus on your computer and
| | {{Officer|Lt. Commander|Hendon, Boris|Blue|Chief Medical Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| you wish to update others in case you have infected them, please e-mail
| | {{Officer|Lieutenant|James, Aurora|Blue|Counselor|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| "webmaster@..." and notify that e-mail address of the EXACT
| | {{hr|Sciences}} |
| virus you were infected with, as well as any other information you might
| | {{Officer|Lt. Commander|T'Lea|Blue|Chief H & A Specialist|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| have about who you believe you may have spread it to.
| | {{Officer|Lt. Commander|Rossh, S'Kahh|Blue|Chief Science Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| | | {{Officer|Lieutenant |Ah'mygahn, T'Mihn|Blue|Asst. Chief Science Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| THIRD, and MOST IMPORTANT: McAfee.com is the developer of one of the most
| | {{hr|Part Time|Blue}} |
| widely used and well-known virus scanning engines. They also have a
| | {{Officer|Ensign|Silari, Garon|Blue|Medical Officer|STYLE=Slanted}} |
| database of viruses, and HOAXES which is updated hourly. It is the BEST
| | </onlyinclude>}} |
| source to find information on virus warnings you may have received. The URL
| | '''Instructions on how to edit this roster are available [[:Template:Roster|here]].''' |
| is: http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus
| | {{ID subpages note}} |
| | | __NOTOC__ |
| Finally: If you do not have virus scanning software, you can find more
| | [[Category:Embassy of Duronis II|*]] |
| information about McAfee's products here: http://www.mcafee.com/myapps . It
| |
| is imperative that you have some kind of virus scanning software on your
| |
| computer AND THAT YOU UPDATE YOUR VIRUS FILES PERIODICALLY. If you do not
| |
| update your virus files, then your computer is STILL at risk. If you
| |
| already own virus software, and suspect that you may not have updated your
| |
| files lately, refer to your software's help files on "updating .dat files".
| |
| | |
| If you have any further questions, you can e-mail:

| {{Header|green|Big Updates - OOC Boards and UPDS}} | |
| | |
| There have been some big updates in the last week that we on the UFOP
| |
| staff wanted to update everyone about. Please read this entire e-mail, as
| |
| it is very important information!
| |
| | |
| 1. OOC Message Boards: We have moved from the EZBoards site to our server,
| |
| with a new software system. Most importantly the new boards are free, which
| |
| means we can offer you non-pop-up, no-advertisement message boards that
| |
| load quickly, with no cost to us, or you.
| |
| Beyond just that, however, the system is simply better overall. Users will
| |
| find that there are many more functions available when posting, which are
| |
| easier to use. The board, for example, keeps track of which threads and
| |
| forums you have read, and displays which forums have new posts since you
| |
| last visited, automatically! This makes browsing new material much quicker.
| |
| There is also now a Private Message system which will allow you to keep in
| |
| contact with friends easier, through the boards!
| |
| In all, we hope you will find these new boards easier to navigate, and
| |
| more fun to browse. You can find them at: www.starbase118.net/forums .
| |
| Registration is a quick process that will allow you to take advantage of
| |
| the full functionality of the forums!
| |
| | |
| 2. UPDS -- IMPORTANT!: There has been a large update to the UPDS in the
| |
| past 72 hours, as you may have noticed from it's downtime. We are excited
| |
| to announce that you can now manage more than one character on your
| |
| username!! With this rearrangement, you now can manage your user info on
| |
| one screen, and keep your character information seperate.
| |
| To ensure that this system works properly, we need ANYONE who has more
| |
| than one username on the UPDS to PLEASE e-mail FltAdml. Wolf at
| |
| twolf@... and tell him:
| |
| 1. Your two usernames.
| |
| 2. Which character is your primary character.
| |
| | |
| With this information, we will consolidate the database so that users only
| |
| have to log into their primary username to update all of their characters.
| |
| If you have any questions, you can also contact Wolf at the address above.
| |
| | |
| 3. "TOP SIMS" CONTEST: We are now running a contest to find the best SIMs
| |
| posted to the ships! You can find out more information about this contest
| |
| here: http://www.starbase118.net/events/topsims/

| {{Header|green|Help Needed for UFOP: StarBase 118}} | |
| | |
| | |
| Our group needs some helping-hands to get a few things done. If you have
| |
| the time and the motivation, we'd really appreciate volunteers. Not
| |
| everything requires experience, so anyone who's willing to help can find
| |
| something to do!
| |
| | |
| If you're interested in any of the projects below, just head to:
| |
| http://starbase118.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=12 for more information.
| |
| Don't worry: you don't have to subscribe to the boards or even get to know
| |
| them to learn more information. Just click on the name of the project, on
| |
| that page, that you want to help with to see a complete outline of the
| |
| project. If you'd rather, you can e-mail: twolf@... for more
| |
| information.
| |
| | |
| Here's what we need help with:
| |
| | |
| 1. Publicity Team: You'll help spread the word about our group far and
| |
| wide! All you need to help out here is a basic knowledge of the web, and
| |
| time to do some "footwork" on the web.
| |
| | |
| 2. Amazon Team: Our Amazon.com/.ca/.uk Stores need upkeeping. We're looking
| |
| for folks who can scour one, or all of these websites for new Star
| |
| Trek/Sci-Fi items that interest our members. This is an easy one!
| |
| | |
| 3. Intelligent Lifeforms Index Team: We have a new Intelligent Lifeforms
| |
| Index that we're hoping to get online in the next month or so. We need some
| |
| people with basic HTML skills who can help break this 100+ page document
| |
| down into manageable bits to put on our website.
| |
| | |
| 4. Web Team: If you have skills in programming HTML, we need you! We'd like
| |
| to put together a team of people who are interested in designing and/or
| |
| upkeeping the websites for our ships.
| |
| | |
| 5. Graphics: In conjunction with the web team, we need some folks who are
| |
| willing to create graphics to go along with the webpages.
| |
| | |
| Once again, your help is greatly appreciated! Without you, our members, we
| |
| couldn't make this group what it is today :)
| |
| <nowiki>================</nowiki>
