...that is a great idea and can really save some $$ on the travel arrangements... BUT please do not post threads about looking for someone to do a share...could you imagine if all the 5000 members of the forum all started posting threads to share their photog...this forum would get bogged down with these requests. instead, why not put it in your sig...that way the info is there and people can pm you...once you find someone to share your photog with, you can remove the info from you sig and it is no longer on the forum. ETA: if you ignore this rule and post a photog share you will lose forum priviledges temporarily.

I think this is pretty normal for forums, there is always some "expiry date" for editing posts. I really enjoyed not having a time limit on this forum (in particularly because I work on continuously updating the Dreams Tulum thread). i know..i hate having the time limit as well but we have had some instances of members leaving the forum and just deleting all their posts by editing them to be blank so threads do not make much sense.

source: Stupid Celebrities Gossip » Hefner’s Bunny Holly Madison Hoppin’ Into Bed With Criss Angel? (Photos) Quote: The latest: So is Holly Madison leaving Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion for Criss Angel? An inside source at the Playboy Mansion confirms the rumors are true, and that Holly is leaving Hugh Hefner. “[Holly] told Hef that she is moving out of the mansion and breaking off their relationship,” said Scandalist. And it seems that is not all that is changing at the Playboy Mansion. It’s being said that both Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson are also leaving, and furthering their careers. Hugh Hefner is said to be looking to replace all three of his girlfriends. “Hef is actively seeking three new girls to replace them immediately,” said thesource. So is this true? Holly Madison has always seemed Hef’s number one girlfriend, but after refusing to marry her, maybe Holly decided enough is enough? And honestly who would you rather “do” Hugh Hefner or Criss Angel? Update: Perez Hilton is reporting that Holly Madison and Criss Angel have been seen all over town in Las Vegas together. Maybe Holly has decided if Hef isn’t going to marry her, and has Dasha Astafieva now, why not? Holly Madison has made it very clear that she would like to marry Hugh Hefner, and he’s made it obvious it’s not going to happen. And with the new brunette, Dasha Astafieva, in the picture, could Holly be taking her affections elsewhere? Perez Hilton eluded to the fact that one of Hefner’s “Girls Next Door” was hanging out with Criss Angel, a couple weeks ago. Seriously, what do girls see in this douche? Criss Angel seems to think he’s so cool, but comes off just looking stupid. Now just this past week Perez reported that Holly Madison was without Hugh Hefner in Las Vegas this past week. Madison was said to have had dinner at the Palms and later went to a party at the Playboy Club with illusionist, and known poon tang magnet, Criss Angel. Perez stated that the party continued until the wee hours for Holly Madison and Criss Angel. Not sure of his sources, but very interesting! Holly Madison’s MySpace also lists her favorite television show as Criss Angel’s. Hmmm… Maybe she has grown tired of the prehistoric Hugh Hefner, that would be so nasty! What would you think of Holly Madison and Criss Angel together? Maybe Criss Angel is working his “magic” on her? Images: WENN

you have 60 minutes to edit posts. this is so members cannot just delete posts after they leave so we have a bunch of blank posts. if something really needs to be edited or deleted, pm me.

in your welcome pm it specifically states to NOT ask for points or downloads. if you do not have enough points it means you are NOT participating enough on the forum. it is very easy to participate...welcome newbies, write about a resort that you may have stayed at. you are also given 200 points when you sign up. this is enough for 4 downloads...that is more than enough downloads to start with.

i actually spoke to the owner and invited them to participate on the forum. let's see if they ever do

welcome to the forum...there are tons of dreams cabo brides on here. i am a dreams cabo bride. my pics and review is in my siggy. other pics and reviews: sarah jackie rebecca nicole (nhpt) and many more

also, i always use a cc to make travel purchases and recommend clients do as well. alot of times if a company goes bankrupt the credit card will cover the charge.

please do not pm a mod to stick a thread...threads are stickied as they are warranted...we cannot sticky every thread. if the thread is easily searched we do not sticky it.

i still have not tried it but think from the pictures that it def. needs chocolate chips or something...or those tofee/chocolate pieces...or a snicker's chopped into it...yummy

i am paid my commission from the hotel or supplier and do not charge the client the commission..

i got this recipe from a friend but have not tried it yet. enjoy! MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE 1 Coffee Mug 4 tablespoons flour(that's plain flour, not self-rising) 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons baking cocoa 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) Small splash of vanilla Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) & vanilla, & mix again. Put your mug in the microwave & cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, & tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!) And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

my only concern with this is it will cause some load of the forum and server. with people buying so much at the same time out of vbplaza and then the title change will cause the database to run to update the new username.... i will have to think about this...maybe we can do it on a probation type of thing to see if there is any slowdown because the forum is on the verge already of having to be upgraded.

Right now I wish I had someone here on my side since I am having a problem with my resort but I don't know if a TA or DW/TA would make a difference. this is usually not the case. your TA will work as your advocate if a problem occurs. i have had incidents happen such as the hotel over-billing a client thousands of dollars for her reception. when the bride tried to resolve the issue on her own she had little success until she got me involved. another bride was served the wrong entree at her wedding. i was able to get them a large monetary amount to make up for the mistake Quote: Originally Posted by Erica053009 Oh I also got my room for the week plus a room for my DF the noght before the wedding free if booked directly through the resort alot of resorts will say you only get perks if booked directly through the resort but i just finalized 2 group contracts that have the same perks.

this is a post from TA Jennifer that really explains the pros and cons of a DW specialist: Quote: Originally Posted by TA Jennifer When looking for a TA there are a few things that you should keep in mind- Have they booked DW's before and how much experience they have with DW's ? Dw's are so much different than booking a vacation or a honeymoon- most TA's do not realize the amount of time & effort that goes into booking DW's- this is definately one time that it pays to go with a specialist! What are their hours? If you have guests coming from all over the country you will need a TA that they can get ahold of when it is convienant for them. A local TA may be great but if the office hours are 8-5 M-F and your guests are in another time zone it may not work out! What exactly will the TA do ? There are post on hear where a TA will not collect payment nor provide a list of whom has booked. A little trivia- Apple Vacations is a TO not a TA. A tour operator generally contracts with airlines,hotels and transfer companies to sell packages. The turn over rate can be higher with a TO as they are in call centers. You may work with one agent or whomever you get when you call in. You can run into some issues because of not having one person always or with turn over. A TA is a travel agent whose obligation is to the consumer and they work with many different TO's (a TA has different reservation agents to work that are usually dedicated to assisting just travel agents ) A Travel agent also has access to our district Sales managers who will assist with any issues on the consumers behalf.

yes, she was banned...erin b is correct in saying that barbs were made on both sides . we posted to keep the thread friendly and no name-calling would be allowed but some members, even after being warned, felt too passionately about their stance to follow forum rules. this thread is now closed.

if you can, shoot for may...room rates will most likely be lower...

wow jackie so beautiful...i love some of the shots really caught the emotion and love of your event!
