With the introduction of Carl Tyler's Sametime Wallpaper Plugin, I decided to make a few of my own backgrounds for the Lotus Community.

They are pretty simple, standard Lotus logos and as always, the BleedYellow Claws.

I also made one with the Lotus 911 logo, but sorry, that is for employees only. ;-)

So if you are so inclined, head on over to my Flickr page and download them. Also if ther are any requests, drop me a line and I will see what I can do for you.

Have fun!

Logged on this morning and when I looked at the count for the YellowBleeders group it was like "Yea, Baby!"

If you still haven't taken advantage of this great feature of BleedYellow, take a look at the instructions here to start.

Thanks Everybody for making it a success!

**UPDATE**
OK, really scary. Shortly after posting this I received an IM from Nathan that we had coincidentally posted the same topic at around the same time, check out Nathan's post here.
I guess great minds really do think alike!

There has been some concern in the community of BleedYellow and logging of Sametime chats. I (amongst others) am here to tell you that Lotus 911 has not, is not and will not log any chats initiated over the im.bleedyellow.com community.

There are extensive and continuos discussions internally of how to provide proof to the community. Stay tuned for more details.

For the official word on this please see the BleedYellow Update blog here.

P.S. - Plus the numbers for happy users cannot lie

OK, this doesn't happen too often.. Administration tips from a developer!

Wait! don't go away so fast!  I used to be part admin as well plus I got the answer to my question straight from one of our authentic Administrators, Chris Whisonant.

This is having to deal with Sametime Communities and Lotus Notes 8.0.1.

After uprading to 8.0.1 I was no longer able to add multiple communities to my embedded Sametime client, It would still connect to my current multiple communities but I could not administer or add anything new. So I contacted a couple of our other Admins who tried to help me out the best he could but we could not find the answer together (none of us is a Sametime expert), so we contacted Chris.

What Chris informed me of was that if the Sametime server that is set as the default does not allow multiple communities, then you will not be able to do any type of administration on your embedded client.  Therefore, I clicked "Reset User..." in the Sametime Preferences (File --> Preferences --> Sametime --> Sametime Preferences) and then  when I logged back in I logged into the BleedYellow Sametime (im.bleedyellow.com) and set that as my default and -- BINGO! -- I could now add a new community.

Here are the before and after settings:

Before		After

The only bad part was that I had to rebuild my contact list for my Non-Bleedyellow group.

Thanks for the help Chris!
