Aha! All is revealed (or not

). Thanks pio and Underhillo.

What about the lower limit to the number of words in a message, though? Is that still an issue? And, if so, is it possible to remove it (at least for the Quiz and Quotes Rooms)?

Also, what's with the green box after each member's post count telling me (when my cursor hovers over it) that they have started the path to adventure?

Saucepan Man - 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):

So my guess is it is like user rating. But "_____ has started the road to adventure" is a really weird caption.

But about the Reputation... Where can you actually read the messages about your "reputation"? Or are they destined to stay a mystery forever?

Liriodendron · 03-22-2004, 07:27 PM

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.

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,

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?

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

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
