Help + Feedback

As we are still finding our way around the new forum software and have just switched hosts, it would be greatly appreciated if you could let us know about any problems you experience so we can get on top of these asap.

New site is fucking fast!

New site is fucking fast!

Not wrong there!

here are a few settings some of you may find handy...

Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Return to topics after posting by default.
Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Show most recent posts at the top.
Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Use quick reply on topic display:
Profile  > Personal Message Options > Ignore List
Spellcheck

feel free to post any others you come across.

 :thumbs-up:

Nice, this forum software is heaps better... I like being able to set these layout things on a per user basis rather than across the board.

New site is fucking fast!

how do i post links

eg... blah blah HERE 

Where HERE is the link to a URL.  I always forget the code... 

(url=http://linky.link)LINK(/url)

but using [ ] instead of ( )

thanks man

Khem is it possible to add YouTube code to these forums?

I know some websites have a [ youtube ] code that function like the [ flash ] codes but inserts video into the thread.

It doesn't slow the forum down because they videos don't load until you push the play button.

PM me if you need a link to a forum that has it...

thanks for the suggestion j, ive seen it on DOA. i could probably find a mod for it, but to be honest we are trying keep things really simple to avoid issues when performing upgrades, etc. the old board was hacked to bits with loads of mods, which made upgrades a nightmare. might reconsider once we know a bit more about the forum software but for now we just want to make sure everything works before we start getting carried away.

Yeah, well you'll be gone in 33 days, and this place will go to hell then, so I thought I'd get my suggestion in early :P

Also, if you want to recover the Scar (or any other threads) maybe take a look at the wayback machine: http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

Not sure how good it will be though

Regarding the Youtube linking...
I'm pretty sure theres script packages already written for this for SMF.
Do take account that SMF gets updated a lot so the only downside to this is that previous working scripts may or may not be working with updated SMF versions.

Also... will there be a portalsite again? or is it staying with a forum like this?
Should there be coming a portalsite again have a look at Joomla. Has a massive integration with SMF.

The problem with installing lots of mods/addons is that it makes upgrading the forum software a lot more difficult. The previous software (phpBB) had lots of extra stuff installed which made maintenance a pain. It's also why we were a few versions behind the latest - and we had some security issues with it as well (with code being exploited to write to certain directories on the server).

We'll certainly look into installing some modules to get the same features as last time... Since I am hosting this it is going to make managing upgrades a lot easier anyway but we can't just jump into major code changes without looking at how easy they're going to be to maintain down the track. Keep the suggestions coming though, none will be ignored.

Is it possible to have one of those recent posts things like on the front page of the old board?

up the top near your avatar there should be a link which says: "Show unread posts since last visit." shows the recent posts in there so will probably just keep it like that for now. may look at a portal setup further down the track.

looks like you get a warning to let you know if a thread has been updated since you last posted!

Warning - while you were typing a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.

thats cool, there some nice improvements over the old AM...

Hey is there anyway to get a main page thing happening like there used to be?

I liked being able to jump on, see the latest posts on the side plus announcements and stuff to start with...

Glock, see Khem's post 3 before yours.

This is the only thing I don't like about the new layout. The main page bizzo was the shit!!!
Pleeeease Khem, bring it back...

Seconded!

Time and effort permitting of course!

yer def need that main page where that listy thing(pretty sure thats the tec term) is on the left

What was on the left again? I never really used that front portal type page...

I remember there was a "most recent posts" with links to the threads where the last 10 posts were made, but what else?

that was it, but it also had the events running down the middle of the page.

the recent posts can now be found via the link up the top, and the events will be listed in the calendar in *gasp* chronological order! it really annoyed me that they couldnt be sorted on the front page.

the portal is on the maybe list, will reassess the situation in the future for sure.

So far, I've found it be more annoying than anything else. I typed my post, pressed enter and it told me people had written new posts since mine and I may wanna update it. Pressed again, then it told me again. Finally on third time, all good.

Any way we can turn it off for ourselves individually?

"Don't warn on new replies made while posting." is an option in your profile "Look and Layout Preferences". I am guessing that does it...

not sure if you have noticed but it will automatically trim nested quotes, so no more scrolling thru half a page of quotes to see someone reply with a smiley!

What about banner ads? Who is going to buy you beer now!!!

as per the promoter thread, should be back in business soon

Is it my fire wall that I need to adjust or are the smileys non animated at the moment?
Thanks.

Which ones Pratty? not all of them are animated but some of them (if you click "more" when posting a message to see more) are.

Yeah none of them are working for me. Same with peoples that they have posted. I thought it was my fire wall cos thats happened in the past but ive turned it off.

On this reply screen however I can see the "M arrow" thing moving and I can see Khems moving sig.

IE works. Its a fire fox thing. Ill check my settings on that aswell.

Try emptying your cache in Firefox... Should fix it.

Yep sorted. Thanks mate. 

quoting only qoutes the last persons text and doesnt include the quote they made... Whats the best way to get quotes of qioutes (if that makes sense)

there is no best way to do that. 

:teethcare:

it prevents having to scroll through 3/4s of a page of quotes just to see some idiot reply with  :laugh:

if you need to include multiple quotes you can copy and paste, but please dont quote whole conversations.

When you receive PM's I noticed that a pop-up doesn't come up?

Can you do something about that Khem?

Thanks Khem!!

no worries

i just fired up the lil news thingy up the top left too

w00t

I think there should be a board under Events where radio shows go...d&b/hiphop/breaks/etc....local and internet...

I noticed the rollers/turbulence threads etc. havent been started yet and reckon a dedicated board would be good

I think there should be a board under Events where radio shows go...d&b/hiphop/breaks/etc....local and internet...

I noticed the rollers/turbulence threads etc. havent been started yet and reckon a dedicated board would be good

yep, its being discussed and hopefully should have something sorted soon (before tomorrow nights shows)

 

ive just changed 'downloadables' to 'listening post'

radio shows will be stickied, mixes will go below

just need to wait for those responsible to post about their shows now

Is it possible to have one of those recent posts things like on the front page of the old board?

in the forum stats section down the bottom i found this link: View the most recent posts on the forum.

or up the top under your name

show unread posts since last visit.

or up the top under your name

show unread posts since last visit.

yup, that shows the unread ones but once you read them, that link brings up nothing unless there are more new posts. the link i mentioned shows recent posts that may be either read or unread, and they dont dissapear after you have read them.

gotcha, i just keep clicking on that one!!

gotcha, i just keep clicking on that one!!

yeah me too. i thiink sal was after something that had recent posts, similar to the left hand side column on the old portal we had setup.

Didn't take long to hit 2000 posts...

not of vital importance but theres 2 clap emoticons under [more]

not of vital importance but theres 2 clap emoticons under [more]

Sorted, thanks. 

Just added: 

Dont know its been said yet...not gonna read the whole thread....but it'd be nice to show when users are having a bday like the old board

 

Click on "CALENDAR" at top of screen. It shows the current month by default and should show whatever birthdays people have coming up.

ah k, cheers 

i dont see the Events section when logged in on the main page?  Do i need to change a setting?

thx

does it still say EVENTS but you cant see anything below it? there might be a + sign next to events, you might have minimised that section by accident.

Just so you guys know, the server has been cutting out a bit. I couldn't get on for a while there. I was fearing for another crash.

when was this? ive been on here for a few hours without a single issue.

In about the last hour I tried to go to the site and it wouldn't load, yet other web pages were?? it just said could not connect to server, which usually means the server is down.

weird... anyone else have the same prob?

smooth sailing over here, saw a few people logged in browsing during that time.

my nets pretty fucked though. maybe it just decided ive been spending too much time on am. I mean when I try to watch jewtube videos it just stops loading them straight away and I have to repair my net connection.

There's been nothing wrong with the server so I dare say the problem is at your end.

PS. I am sure because if there was something wrong my phone would have rung non stop...

fixed thx, off the crack for me i think

 

still cantfigure out this font size shit. using explorer and the font has changed on AM and hotmail and its really starting to piss me off atm. 
any help guys?
lex, tryed your info, no idea what you were talking about. :P

On the top right hand of the browser, there's a tab called "Page". If you click on the little arrow next to it and scroll down to text size, click on that and you should be able to change the size of the text.

Seriously, download Mozilla Firefox. Explorer sucks monkey balls.

Go to view - text size - increase

Or

Ctrl ++

thanks ness

Seriously, download Mozilla Firefox. Explorer sucks monkey balls.

http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/

Seriously man, 5.5 mb....1 minute of download time, to save you a whole pile of crap in the future

one minute on dial up?

i gave it to him a few times on various disks i have burned for him

Forgot he had dial-up.

Hey khem hows it hanging? as good as last time?

I just wanted you to know that even though all these posts about me being gay and wanting buttsecks are from Leezee's IP address, I still mean it, and that it's not just Liam being a cunt and taking advantage of me. He would never do that. He's awesome. And he has a massive cock ego.

bahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahaha

fucking funny

i actually believed them 












 

 

AM is seriously making my day at the moment

thats how fucked my day is at shitty work!

sigh... 

note to self, log out after using liams computer

sigh... 

nawwww   

So... When I hit preview to check what my post looks like, it previews the top line only... 

i just previewed something that was so long i got this error message

The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (20000 characters).

so it may be your browser or your connection.

what browser are you using?

Safari... I get it at home & at work. I only use macs though...

It's not because the reply has too many characters...

It's not because the reply has too many characters...

yeah i guessed that, but you said your preview only showed one line, so i previewed a massive reply to make sure it was ok and it was.

had a quick search and it looks like it is an issue with this forum not speaking to safari correctly. it looks like it may not be fixed in the next 1.x release, but may be fixed in the 2.0 release of the forum software.

Ah! I get it! 

Ok then, so everyone using Safari is having this happen?

yep, safari on both mac and pc suffer from this problem.

Are you using the quick reply feature or the normal reply page?

I just tested it and can preview the whole post if I use quick reply, but not the reply page...

Also using Safari on a Mac.

like the april fool's day afp banner... 
nicely done

My AM homepage isn't updating! All of the threads are up-to-date, but the 'Last Posts' in the index page haven't changed in about a week. I also haven't seen banners in quite some time. Any suggestions?!

Clear your browsers cache out. Let us know how it goes...

Cool, sounds easy!



P.S.
Excuse my ignorance, but... how?!

What browser are you using? Should be as simply as going into tools/properties and hitting empty cache.

Just using Explorer, tried deleting cookies already but I'm not finding the cache option anywhere.




EDIT Freaky, it just randomly updated the 'last posts' but still no banners!!

fucker just went back to the way it was!!!!!

two options

easy option - get firefox



option 2

open ie
tools
internet options
general tab
browsing history
delete
temporary internet files - delete
cookies - delete
close
ok

restart browser and try again

Get Firefox is the best option... From here. It's the superior web browser.

Option 2 fully ticked! Target outcome still not reached! I've always known I should be running Firefox, just never had the reason to. Damnit all, fucking computers...

Can you go to the 'last posts' page in IE and then while holding shift on your keyboard hit F5? That should force a refresh as well...

Except every time firefox has a problem opening a web page, showing a piece of java, resizing a popup window I click on and what not, the same page shows perfectly in IE...

This is on a perfectly clean install of firefox with everything updated... I'm not finding it as good as I used to...

wait wait hold up.

you said what?! you sure you're using firefox?

Just to clarify, I mean "every time firefox has a problem opening a page - the occurrence of which is rare, perhaps once a fortnight - IE will open that particular page without a problem".

So yes I'm sure I'm using firefox, and It's good for the most part, but there are some bugs that don't occur in IE. The main problems that occur are a "movie no loaded" error for a piece of flash, which is fine in IE, or a popup - say perhaps when you click on a thumbnail to enlarge it - which doesn't open at the correct size, and is in one of those windows that cannot be resized. The popups always open fine in IE. FACT.


EDIT!

Enlarge this quilt cover and see what happens:

http://www.livingwithdeborahhutton.com/www/265/1001127/displayproduct/1011863_1001226_.html

That's probably a problem in the coding of the page though, because FF and IE read the codes differently you usually have to put one lot of code in for FF and one lot in for IE. I think. I know you have to do this with some HTML scripts and CSS scripts but I don't know much about JAVA.

true story that!   

I get a popup of the quilt cover. Proper size, can see the whole thing.

What's your point? Isn't that supposed to happen?

PS: Deborah Hutton Homewares KMart

Check the edit below and tell me what happens. It's a java popup and doesn't open correctly in Firefox.

I'm aware you may need different scripts, I'm just saying that EVERYTHING seem to open in IE where it doesn't in Firefox. I'm not exactly going to start editing scripts to view pages in Firefox.

P.S. I'm still using it, but I just have found recently that the sun doesn't shine out of its ass so much anymore...



Well mine opens in a tiny window that can't be resized. Shrugs.

P.S. One day I shall take the crown of Manchester king from you! (Warpy showed me it yesterday actually - so it's the most recent thing I know of that didn't work - probably should of thought of something more leet to put on here...)

Ok I've got another one:

http://usa.asus.com/products_compare.aspx

Choose motherboards from the drop down menu, and tell me if the lower menus change to allow you to choose something or are still greyed out...

Like I said before it's probably a fix needed in the coding itself rather than a FF problem. A good web page designer should be checking to see if it works on all browsers. I know there can be lot's of problems when it comes to tables and lists etc. working on FF

Yeah true. So can you (and Fluke if you're reading) reproduce the problems I get? Now I'm curious because Fluke and I both use the exact same version of FF yet the first problem doesn't appear on his computer...

and the second one does....

may be vid card related. check vid settings.

Don't forget that all this works in IE... It's FF specific.

oh yes.....

that's odd, eh!

The Asus site doesn't work in Opera either, so I think it is a problem with the codes on the page. Whoever created the site obviously didn't do their job very well...

No, it doesn't - that's my whole problem!!!

Yeah I know... Fixed now. Investigating cause to prevent reoccurrence.

There's a plugin for FF called IE Tab that switches a page to display using IE code. It works like a charm everytime for those pesky pages that don't seem to work properly in FF.

Having said that I use Opera! Love it to bits but unfortunately it's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness. Being unpopular means less nasties are designed for it but being unpopular also means you get a lot more of those broken pages!

possibly the hip hop quiz thread should be renamed to the Quazza vs Headache Battle for HipHop Supremacy feat guest appearances by John Doe, Stryke and Keyser??

Is there any chance of getting a quick reply box put in below threads for those quick one word answers to save valuable interwebs browsing time?

It's already there.

Go to Profile > Look and Layout Preferences (in the Modify Profile) section and see the "Use quick reply on topic display".

Cheers. Makes life a bit easier.

would be wicked if the events page was in order by dates instead of new posts

try using the calendar

 

how did u not notice that before! i use it all the time gooood feature.

IAWSO

I agree with Stryke's opinion.

What does the little pencil next to someone's username mean?

That they are currently making a post?

It means they're the topic starter. It's just so that later in the thread you can see easily who actually started it when they post in their own threads.

no changes have been made afaik, everything still looks the same here.

when you are on AM, try holding CTRL and scroll using your scroll button on your mouse, it should change the size of the font.

i just shrunk the font on my verion of AM here, went to another site and the text size on the other size wasnt shrunk, so it might be a site specific setting...

Quick question

Has some font sizes been reduced? A lot of it is smaller for me(and yeah, only on AM)

lol fixed


cheers mate:)

Can you guys make it so in the "search bar" it finds the name of threads, NOT just words in a bunch of threads.

I been hunting around for a specific thread for ages and I still cant find it 

Click on search at the top left of the page (next to home / help)

Tick 'Search in topic subjects only'

Oh cheers!

How long has that new search function been there (the advanced part)? I swear it hasn't always been there.

its always been there afaik

Well Khemmo, we know my vision 'aint great - but I can't find where to turn off the email notification for when you receive a PM?

Profile
Personal Message Options
Notify by email every time you receive a personal message: Always/Never

Cheers mate. See ya tonight

I've been having issues when I click 'Show unread posts since last visit.', it will only bring up new posts since I started the browser (Chrome & IE). Nothing posted before the time I open the browser is considered new enough to be shown.

I tried clearing the cookies and no change.

When it doesn't find anything 'new' to show it provides me with a link to see all new/unread posts... is it possible to have this link where the other 2 'Show ??? Posts' links are???

i cant tell you exactly what it says, but once you have cleared all the unread topics from 'show unread posts since last visit' it comes up with another link, it says something like show all unread or something... thats the only thing i can think of atm...

Yeah that's what I'm talking about... can we get that link put up above ur 'Total time logged in' next to ur avatar???
Just annoying that I have to load 2 other pages just to get to that link.

might be able to look into it when i have a bit more time up my sleeve

in the meantime, bookmark this link

http://www.adelaidemassive.com/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0

Ur one smart cooky Khem... I didn't even think of that.
All sorted, cheers!!!

Woah all the avatars are suddenly a lot bigger!

Huh?

Yes they have. Is that OK?

OMG THE RETURN OF THE O-L-I!

He's alive?????

Now I can't start rumours about him. Bugger.

It's actually Keyser here. I hacked oli's account.

All of them have bloody scrollbars on them now!

It's mildly annoying.

What do you mean?

I don't see any scrollbars.

Must be running a low resolution.

I have no scroll bars at 1280x1024

Yeah well my POS laptop maxes out at 1024x768 so that's probably the problem. Too bad the frames don't dynamically adjust in the rest of the site to fit...

What about now?

Nah, still out of luck man. It's bot a browser issue because I have tried different browsers. I use Opera and I toggled the Fit To Window button and everything is sweet but I expected that cos that's what that button does.

Like I said it's only a small gripe anyway. If you can fix it that's awesome but if you can't I can live with it. It will just lessen the visual impact of those awesome gifs!

I'm sure there's other poor souls out there suffering low resolutions that will have the same problem.

i have scroll bars too!!

You're a scroll bar!

fuck avatars.

Lo-Fi FTW!!

Scroll bars gone?

 

yeah, they're gone oli!

welcome back by the way!

Thanks. I went through a difficult period in my life.





















AKA: too much work

Ditto!

We didn't miss you at all.

Don't worry, I didn't miss you while I was busy working either.

I bet you missed me though, didn't you ec-oli??

Nope, didn't miss you either.

I fucking hate you cunt

Depends on the size of the window/screen. They're gone when it's maximised but there when it's in a smaller window.

Maximise is your friend then.

How do I attach a sweet avatar to my messeges.

Avatar is the image below your name. If you want to put an image into your actual post you need to use the following code:


There's a button to put the img code in on the reply page as well.

there arent any 'attachments' as such, you will need to host your own pics - try imageshack or flickr or photobucket or something

OH MY GOD!

FACEBOOK HAVE STOLEN YOUR LIKES/DISLIKES THING OLI!!

Failure on AM - Success on FB?!

What's Facebook?

Sorted cheers!

i just broke the internets merr merr meh mer merrrr, ner ner ne nerr nerrrr, 

Greetings again,
Love the new double-spacing regime been put on the forum. Hit the return key and BANG, instant tl:dr
But really, the preview function doesn't reflect this new change, anyway it could?
i.e. the preview of any post, doesn't look like the final post itself... i've had to get a commonwealth enquiry into the issue as it's potentially one of the most alarming and confusing aspects of the internets so far in the history of civilisation 

I think I've asked for this before but is it possible to implement a Spoiler tag into the forum?

So when you want to mask a line from a song lyric or crucial element from a movie quote or quiz etc. you can put the code around it and the text will be covered by a 'Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler' line that uncovers when you mouse over.

Alternatively a thick black line that simply covers the text and you can read what's underneath by highlighting the area.

Or an even simpler option is to include the colour codes for post backgrounds and quote background in the colour box so you can simply mask out the text.

It can also be used for clues so if the person is stumped they can unmask that bit to help out.

What do you think?

third eye, no it can't.

Glock, good suggestion.

Hey oli, how come only some of the posts that are modified say they've been modified?

Is it a timeframe thing? Seems like it doesn't come up if I modify a post straight after I've posted it.

Yeah that's right. Doesn't say edited if you edit it within a minute or something I think.

It's not a time frame thing, it just depends if someone else has viewed your post or not. If nobody has viewed it and you edit it there's no point in showing that you edited it, but if someone has viewed it then you go and edit it it's good to show that you've done so.

Hey Oli,

How come in the account settings I've set it to hide my email, yet I still have a mail option under my avatar?

it allows people to send an email to you using a web based form, kinda like a PM, but it gets directed to your email

the setting you are talking about means if people go to your profile tho, they wont be able to see your email address

khem I think he means the little mail icon which is a mailto link.

del, admin's can see it and you can see it as well.

Other users and guests can't though.

I only see PM and View Profile for 'del'

SO STOP YOUR FKING WHINGING!

I only see boobies with yours John, can't really notice anything else around it.

No!


Thanks Oli, that's what I meant icon_wink

The birthday cake on your own profile when its your birthday is a nice touch laugh  wiggle

happy birthday mate!

thumbs-up

Cheers khemotherapy icon_biggrin

I've been having some issues with 'Show unread posts since last visit' on my home pc since I formatted. Only rarely does it work, most of the time it says no new posts since last visit. I have cookies enabled, any ideas what it might be?

Does anything come up when you click on 'Click here to try all unread topics'?

Sooooo is it just me that is having problems with AM today? Timing out every few minutes?

havent timed out myself, but it does seem to be struggling. bit slower than normal.

i h ad issues with that too, seems to be better now

Can we get a Skype button added to the Profile information?

Just thought it'd be nice to get with the times a little more. My usage of it has started to pick up lately compared to MSN; mostly as a result of using it for my work though but I am finding it's video chat owns MSN (plus it has better emoticons lol).

It's probably been asked before but there's no chance of having a choice of forum themes is there? I'm pretty sure I've seen SMF forums with that feature before.

Speaking of SMF I think they have that 'lite version' option in there too right? Where it all comes up with no pics, colours, etc. for fast loading.

It may be useful for those getting their AM fix on small screened phones or slow connections.

there is a skype mod available. if more than a few people ask for it we might consider adding it... one of the main reasons the last forum fell over was there were too many mods, so we are trying to keep it fairly simple this time around to avoid headaches with upgrades, etc... but if enough people want it we might add it.

this is also the reason why we are sticking to one theme... each time you add a mod, you need to make sure it runs on all themes and it doesnt always work.

here is the link for the lite version, it has been posted a few times previously: http://www.adelaidemassive.com/index.php?wap

Unfortunately it's not working

http://www.adelaidemassive.com/index.php?action=profile;u=344

yes, we have only one headache... singular, not plural like i specified in my post...

Lol, did I just see "dnbisdead" in the server domain name for a second there?

haha that was oli - when the last server move happened i think he set up a temporary address while we transferred everything across

hehe

Did anything happen to the server from about 24:00-1:30 +9:30 GMT tonight (it was 21:30-11:00 here until it sped up again)?

I was having major issues accessing the forum, pages were loading the basics but not everything, sporadically I could post but then it wouldn't complete sending etc.

Could just be me.

Just you I think.

But on that note, from my supplier: On Sunday (26th September 2010) we will be performing a core infrastructure upgrade on our networks. This is expected to last 3 hours starting from 11pm. During this time your container may be intermittently unavailable.

So find something better to do if you'd normally be on here at that time.

Tim just posted in the Facebook thread that AM was slow for him last night so maybe I wasn't the only one!

OK. I can't really judge because I'm 14,000KM away from the server.

I didn't have any complaints from anyone who actually pays for services from this server so I don't really care that much if you weren't the only one. 

 

Anyone notice the site being down or inaccessible earlier? About midday...

yeah briefly about an hour or so ago

tried it 5 mins later and it was all good

figured it was just a glitch in the matrix so didnt notify the authourities

OK. Had a customer complaining so I called the provider and there was a problem earlier... Just wanted to see if anyone here noticed as well. Thanks

Yeah me too

somebody alert the press!

Still dropping connections I think...

yes it is.


pick up your game imo. 

Site is slow at the moment.

Don't know if is just me but thought I would let you know Oli

Every other site seems fine, so it's not my net.

Yeah I know. I am trying to figure out what it is myself.

Tell me when you think it's faster again please.

Looking good again!

Onion was a little slow too so I put it down to network congestion or server resources...

Onion and RIU are on same server, and yes they were slow as well.

I fixed it without even doing anything... Glitch in The Matrix I guess.

Shhh, you worked 2hrs on fixing it

Heh, nah. I've been working on another big project to put even more load on the server. Hehe

Quad Xeon + 12GB you'll be fine. I'd be surprised if you were using more than 2% CPU usage and around 1GB of RAM or do you have each site on its on VM?

1 vm for email
1 vm for all websites

some others for testing stuff and another web one for a client who need some stuff setup differently
