What happened to Pusanweb???

   You'll notice a few recent changes on Pweb, including the obvious change in design. When we first switched Pusanweb over to the Drupal CMS almost a year ago, we thought  we'd be modifying the basic theme design pretty quickly, but as you've probably noticed we wound up with that boring B7 theme for much too long. 
   We've begun experimenting with some other options and want your feedback. This current theme is based on 'LiteJazz' and aside from a very different look, it adds the functionality of posting recent blog posts, ads, and forum topics up top. Personally, I don't really like the color scheme there (not very readable), but otherwise think it's got potential. If you hate it and miss the old theme, you can switch back by logging in, clicking 'My Account/Edit' and choosing another theme.  We hope to roll out some other options soon.  If there are any design geeks out there interested in helping to make Pweb prettier, we'd welcome help.
  We've also recently updated the forums program and removed the frame from that page.  We've gotten some reports of login issues, but are working to resolve them.  If you are having trouble staying logged in to the forums, check out this thread.  More changes are on the horizon, so stay tuned for the Pwebolution. As always, thanks much for being part of the  Pusanweb community, and if you see things you'd like to change or improve, don't be hostile, be helpful.

Cheers,
Jeff Lebow

 Next Saturday has something for everyone. If you're looking to hit the road, the 10th Boryeong Mud Festival runs from Saturday the 15th to the 22nd. It's a bit of a haul to get there, but lots of folk feel it's worth it. Directions to get there are on the event website.

Pusanweb Town Hall - Pweb updates, Summer Plans, & the EFL Law Forums come home

Pusanweb Town Hall
June 27, 2007
Pweb updates, Summer Plans, & the EFL Law Forums come home

The Pusanweb management team gathered online for what will hopefully be a semi-regular online meeting and discussion about Pusanweb.

During the show, we talked to Paul Robertson, the EFL-Law guy, about the EFL-Law forums. Due to other commitments, Paul is giving up the EFL-Law forums and he has asked if Koreabridge would be willing to host and manage them from now on. We have agreed to host the forums, as we feel that there is a great deal of very useful information on the site for those in need of job advice. We will be changing the name of the forum to the Koreabridge Job Advice Forums. The Job Advice forum will remain separate from the existing Pusanweb/Koreabridge Forums. Most members of the EFL-Law Forum moderator team have agreed to stay on as moderators, so that will also remain the same.

We expect that the forum transfer to be smooth. All usernames, passwords, PMs, topics and posts will remain intact after the switch, so there will be no need to re-register or anything like that. After the transfer, there will be some minor restructuring of the board categories and there will be some posting policy changes to bring the EFL-Law forums closer to the Koreabridge policies.

 

This weekend's music scene

 This SATURDAY night, DJ Lexey of NYC will be spinning at the Vinyl Underground in Kyungsung-dae. There will be drink specials for the ladies before midnight and the resident DJs will start off the night around 9:00. Music goes 'til dawn.

If the DJ scene isn't your style, you might be more interested in the first ever Songwriter's Night at Moe's in PNU. Starting at around 10:00 pm, local musicians will be playing only 100% original songs. Head to Moe's (2nd floor of Soul Trane) to support local talent.
