Actually, I think this version is VERY cool! I wish I had a lot of free time to explore.

Everybody's avatars look very beautiful.

Lindolirian · 03-22-2004, 09:01 PM

Hmmm it's nice, but being the typical human that I am, I don't like change, but I'll get over it. One thing though... It's not really important, but it might mess things up a little. I noticed that the calendar is off a day somehow. Mine and two other's birthdays are on April 6 which is a Tuesday this year. However this calendar has it on the 5th but still on a Tuesday. Strange things are afoot at the BD Calendar. But anyhoo, I don't care that much how it looks, just so long as it's got all the normal content. Heck this place could be laid out like word document, I'd still come. (It just wouldn't be as cool)

***Sharkû*** · 03-22-2004, 09:14 PM

That's just the way the calendar looks. The day is at the top left of the (imagined) box for the day, the number on the top right, colliding with the next weekday.

Oh, but there is a spell-checker.

It's called hitting the Preview Button and reading through your message before posting.

Of course. You must be very intelligent.

Thanks for letting me know. The Preview Button will be my best friend from now on.

Cheers,

I have verified that my posts are not being eaten. It seems to be operator error- apparently you have to let the thread reload part way before you close it out for the post to appear.
I apologize, noble board, for impugning your honor.

***Sharkû*** · 03-28-2004, 08:10 PM

Yeah, I'd definitely wait for the redirect to be done. You can always use more windows if you're impatient.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 03-30-2004, 11:17 AM

Curiously, some green spiders are showing up in the "Who's on-line" screen.
To be more specific they seem as though they might be guests, as they are green, but instead of listing "Guest" my snap shot shows two that read Googlebot (Google) Spider and one that reads Zyborg (Looksmart) Spider. Are these spiders poisonous? If not what does this designation mean? That they have found the site via a search engine?

Nimrodel_9 · 09-22-2004, 04:26 PM

Once again, the subject of avatars has risen (thanks to me).

I can`t get my avatar to work! I followed all of your steps but I keep get a message that says the URL does not exist. I have tried it with several different avatars, and I`m sure I`m getting the right URL, but it still does not work. Can you help me?

Also I are there any sites I can get an avatar from that you know work?

Thag you very buch!

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-22-2004, 04:30 PM

Some sites do not allow their images to be linked, Nimrodel - that could be your problem. To find avatar sites, try searching for "avatar" with Google - you should come up with plenty of possibilities.

Silmiel of Imladris · 03-22-2004, 09:22 PM

This question may have already been asked but how do I change my avatar? I looked everywhere on the CP and I don't see where to put the URL in for a new one. Other than that I love the new graphics and everything. This forum is almost like using a word processor now instead of a message board.

Finwe · 03-22-2004, 09:23 PM

Just a question...

Next to all our post counts, there's a little green box that shows the phrase "X has started on the path to adventure" (X being the person's nickname). What's that all about?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-22-2004, 10:00 PM

Quote:

I think the green box is like User Ratings on UBB because under "member list" everyone has a green box under the column "reputation." And also there is a little icon that looks like a scale underneath everyone's name that if you hover the mouse over it says "Add to _____'s reputation." If you click on it you get a little thing that says (I clicked on yours):

Or methinks it means that if you -the guest - don't join, you're missing out on a lot.

HerenIstarion · 03-23-2004, 12:36 AM

In some cases it says "X is unknown" (Firefoot, I've seen such a thing on yours). How do you mean, unknown? We see the name, we see the post...

Ahh... I see now. Well that's a strange way of doing it, but it makes sense to me now. Thanks!

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 03-23-2004, 05:04 PM

I've made borders around the monthly calendar, so it should be easier to tell which day is which.

Mad Baggins · 06-17-2004, 04:37 PM

Whenever I try to post with just a quote or URL, it tells me to lengthen my message to one character. Why?

Mad Baggins · 07-04-2004, 08:44 PM

Can I get my question answered, if possible, please?

Mirkgirl · 07-05-2004, 02:24 AM

Well I believe I can answer this one (:

The quotes (apparently the URLs too) aren't counted to the minimum characters check, which apparently is set to 1

Mad Baggins · 07-06-2004, 11:05 AM

Ah, thank you, Mirkgirl.

Thorongil · 07-09-2004, 05:56 AM

I tried to change my custom user status, but the option to change it isn't there. How can I change it?

Thorongil · 07-17-2004, 10:51 AM

Ho hooooooooo, anybody home?
