How do I find my draft so that I can submit it?
Are private messages working for anyone? I tried sending one, but it never goes into my "sent messages" folder...it just sits in "outbox". Does this mean it's not sent?
How are people inviting others to join this board? I don't exactly have a whole lot of "friends" on that other message board, but I'd like to see as many come here as possible. Any ideas? It's mainly via PM, right?
So who owns this board? Better yet, how does it pay it's bills? Forgive me if this is posted in another thread, but I didn't want to wade through a bunch of other threads to find the answers. I mean, I did read a couple of them in here, at...
From http://www.cyburbia.org/forums/showpost ... ostcount=2 (my board, FWIW) A screen capture utility may also be required to save the images from some generators. Avatars may need to be resized to 80x80 and <3K for the Cyburbia Forums. ...
Can't be Dopers over here. I've seen DoMeBohemians, DoMeBopers, and DoMeBoers.
We had only one volunteer, so, after volunteering, danceswithcats is now a forum moderator. Welcome!
To help implementing the thousands of suggestions mentioned in The Wish List, Q.E.D. has been appointed as an admin, due to his PHP programming experience. Hopefully, this will speed up implementation, somewhat.
I'm having trouble seeing the text - is there an option that will enlarge all the fonts? I realize I can change the settings on my PC, but I'm not having viewing problems with every site, just this one. The first time I logged onto here it...
Suppose everyone active on the SDMB upped and decided to move here over the space of the next three months - could this board cope - in terms of DB size, bandwidth, etc?
Does that not work, or have I just not set it correctly? Thanks!
Is domebo.net running on a shared hosting account, VPS or its own server? If it's shared hosting ... damn, it''s a good host you've got there.
I'm getting the vibe that this is a board cast from the same mould as the SDMB (obviously), but with looser rules and a harder edge. I'm also assuming this has stemmed from the political debacle that is currently changing the face of the Dope to...
The title says it all. It's helpful sometimes to be able to refer back to a previous post and/or to make sure you're picking back up where you left off last time. Nothing pressing of course, but it would be nice to have them if and when you...
Ok, bad attempt at OP humor mocking "my post is my cite". But I am an avid Control Panel user over on the Dope because I'm automatically subscribed to threads that I post to and most of the time that is all I'm interested in reading. Is that...
Instead of on the left? Just seems awkward to me to have to look over there to see who is posting. Is there a control panel option to change it?
How is 'The Hive', the new sub-forum to ATMB that has appeared, going to work? I assume its not some glitch that means I can see it (although there's no posts there yet), and that all the other non-moderator posters can see it too. I know that...
Can we make the pages 50 posts in length instead of the current 10?
I was wondering why you chose not to have a MPSIMS forum. Is the name Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share copyrighted by the SDMB? Jibba Jabba looks like the closest equivalent, but it suffers from the same problem that the SDMB's MPSIMS does...
Else we quickly lose track where we came from. Right?
I was trying to put the same line I have in my signature on the SDMB on this board, but it came out to 112 characters, over the current extremely small 50 character limit. Although it is nice that it can be as many lines as I want, thereby avoiding...
Can we have an option to display our gender under our name, next to the location and PM button? I've definitely seen it on other message boards. The reason I ask is that my name is not indicative, and I'd quite like to be able to keep using my...
I can't believe this board has been up for days now, and the greatest ruination of the Dope has not yet been discussed, not to mention corrected: Can we get Wally and Happy Jewish Man smilies added?
I see a lot of people are requesting a 'smashie' smiley. Is the smilie in this post (on a different phpBB board) a 'smashie'?
Should we have a sports and games forum here, like at that other message board?
Guys, I've uploaded three new forum styles: serenity, milky way and maxthon. They're available to select from "User Control Panel > Board Preferences". They need customising though, but we need to agree on a logo. See the Jibba Jabba thread.
Now I'm not suggesting we clutter up the nice clean look of these boards by allowing all sorts of shite to be pasted all over the place, but if it's not some sort of bandwidth consideration perhaps could we have an image forum? Caption contests and...
Following the results of this poll, avatars have been enabled. If you do not wish to see them, go to "User Control Panel" (upper right), then, under "Display Options" (on the left), check the "Disable Avatars" box.
What do all the various icons by thread titles mean? There's a light bulb shaped one, in red or blue, sometimes it has a star on the top right side. There's a circle with text, again in red or blue, sometimes with the star, and sometimes the text...
I'm sure there's a mod to do that. Can you install it?
Test text
Thanks for changing the forum rules banner to make it less obtrusive. I was thinking about saying something but put it off - I found the old banner distracting, particularly since it was in a similar style to Wikipedia's "New messages" bar (I was a...
Question in title.
I think that would be swell. :) I almost NEVER went to GD over at SDMB because it was filled with political threads that aren't that interesting if you're not from the US. Any chance we could have a politics forum here? I have that sense that...
The board needs an extra moderator, for when I'm not here (I'm on GMT time). If you'd like to volunteer, then please PM me. If we have multiple volunteers, then we'll hold an election :p
Guys, A new front page has been uploaded, using the Joomla CMS. You can view it, here. Hopefully, we'll agree on some content (see the MPSIMS thread) to attract new users to the boards, and then start uploading it.
After volunteering, MsRobyn is now a moderator. Welcome! I think three moderators suffices, for now.
Can it be enabled? Sorry to be running all over your forum with questions already there Capt, just curious.
CRSP, do you post under another name on the Straight Dope?
In another thread, it has been pointed out that this board does not have spoiler tags. However, there is a possible work around: you can type the text for the spoiler in white. Now it can be seen only like the old SDMB spoilers were, when you...
I've disabled guest posting, due to it being a possible source of exploitation and trolling. Membership is free, anyway, so I don't see the need to retain guest posting.
