A minor point and not of much importance.

When I quote
Quote:
thusly
the quoted text becomes italicised. Any way to stop this?

EDIT: Well, that's just odd. Usually it decides to become italic. Any explanations?

It's a different set of instructions/tags for the 2 types of quoting.

The first example has the quotes between these two: [Q UOTE] [/QUOTE]

(with the 'Q' of course, not followed by a space.)


And in the second the quote is being referenced: [Q UOTE=the guy who be short] [/QUOTE]


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't want your quote italicised, copy and paste it between the first set of tags above.

You can use the 'quote' icon above the 'Reply to Thread' box . . . or just type out the tags yourself.

Well, this isn't really a question, but more of a feeble request: Is there any way with 3.0 to have more than 20 PM's per inbox? I'm getting around ten a day, and I'm spending around 15 minutes cleaning my PM box every day. It's starting to get on my nerves, but that's what I get for sending them out so much, I guess. I can make due with 20 as I fear I must, but is there any chance of upping the number?

No, at least not anytime soon. The cap of 20 was set intentionally to encourage public discussion rather than private talks. At one time we had almost as much traffic in PMs as we did in regular posts, so we were forced to put a limit on it. Though we understand that people want to occasionally communicate on a more personal basis, bandwidth isn't free, and there's always e-mail.

I've been wondering... Is the ability to create polls an exclusive option? I've looked for it, but cannot see it. So does this mean that I cannot make a poll, or that I am just blind?

Yes, the creation of polls is limited - if you can see the option, you can start one.

I'm just curious, but how is that limited? F.g. there can only be x many active poll threads at time/only certain members can post polls/ something else?
