SNOWJAPAN 07/08 - SITE UPDATES - New for the 07/08 Season


Recommended Posts

  • SnowJapan Admin

Thanks.

 

The snowjapan.tv site is only a few weeks old but we have had a fair few behind-the-scenes issues to deal with since it first went online! But the good news is that - fingers crossed - the site is now perched on a brand new, nice server with a good connection to the intertubes and should hopefully now be settled and ready for the season. We are hoping that things from now on will go smoothly, but if you do find any issues with the site please do let us know at editor@snowjapan.com and we will look into them.

 

If you are not logged in, you can view videos for a short time each day. If you are signed up and logged in you have unlimited access to all of the videos. Please do sign up if you intend to either upload videos or view videos this winter. It's a really simple process and totally free - you can do it from this page:

 

http://www.snowjapan.tv/signup.php

 

Please note that you cannot login using your Forums username and password - you will need to register over at the .tv site.

 

Thank you

If you look on the right hand side of the forums you'll see a few changes - one being "My Calendar".

 

If you click on the main Calendar button (under the top black bar on the forums) you will see an "Add New Event" link.

 

http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/calendar

 

http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=addevent

 

You can add events to your calendar and they will show when you are logged in to the forums. No-one else will see you private calendar entries on the calendar or on their pages.... only you.

 

Anyway go check it out and have a play.

Now, if you type in Yuzawa Now or YuzawaNow or Niseko Now or NisekoNow on the Forums, it will automatically link up to those daily reporting pages (so no need to find the links, just type in the name)

The snow depth info and resort opening status is now appearing on all of the resort pages on the site.

 

Check the top box on the resort pages, eg:

http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=1

 

This data should now also be appearing on your My Resort Watch pages as well if you have one:

For more information on our daily info, please read this:

Thanks!

We have started new section of the Forums called "Trip Report Archive".

 

Basically, any Trip Reports that are posted in the main "Snow Talk" forum area will be moved over into this new "Trip Report Archives" area of the Forums. (We'll do that, no need to worry about moving them yourselves).

 

So, please post your Trip Reports initially in the Snow Talk section of the Forums, here:

Thanks

A slight change to photo uploading.....

 

We will now add an additional caption to photos uploaded to the site, showing and giving credit to the member who kindly uploaded the photo to SnowJapan.

 

\:\)

 

Example, this photo just uploaded by iiyamadude:

 

iiyamadude_35.jpg

 

Please note that adding these captions is a semi-manual process... it is not instant.

We will try to add the caption to the photos as soon as we can after they are uploaded (certainly within a week and hopefully much sooner).

 

(We will be getting round to adding this to photos that have been uploaded recently as well).

 

If for whatever reason you upload a photo and do not want the caption on it - just let us know

 

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay but the charts showing official snow depth at resorts throughout Japan are back.

 

Here they are:

 

RESORT SNOW DEPTHS CHART:

http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/A_TO_Z_ResortsSnowDepth.php

This chart lists the resorts by snow depth. The snow depth data is updated once a day.

 

NEW SNOWFALL CHART:- compared to previous update:

http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/A_TO_Z_ResortsComYesterday.php

This chart lists the resorts by the amount of new snowfall since the previous update.
