Forum: About Mellophant

There are several threads with many posts reporting issues spread out all over the place, and I want to try to condense them. I'd like to use this temporary sticky thread to compile a list of the problems which still need to be addressed, so please...

I was perusing the forums here, and noticed that two of the subfora were specifically highlighted on my little 'Jump To:' tree at the bottom of the page: The Dark Room and Room 101 . I was under the impression these were temporary forums. ...

I get it once or twice a day, and if I F5 and refresh it goes away. Here's the message: jtablesession::Store Failed DB function failed with error number 1062 Duplicate entry '8a7a622e8629e25b36ed7ff33f73c933' for key 1 SQL=INSERT INTO...

:hoj: Where is the pissed off buddhist smilie? Or the mildly irritated christian smilie? Am I missing some backstory here?

viewtopic.php?p=44697#p44697 Gimme a break. Telling or suggesting to someone they're full of shit is cursing at them, now? Even the Dope isn't that uptight. I thought the aim here was to be different, looser. This ain't it. Look, I'm no MC...

Twice this afternoon I have been flamed outside of Thunderdome. I've reported both instances. One appears to have gone unresponded to, and I understand that not every report can be addressed immediately. In another I seem to be involved in a...

I saw some erotica in the Write Here, Write Now forum. I want to post some of the adult stories I've created. Do I start a new thread or do they all have to go in the same thread?

Huh?

Where's CRSP? I haven't seen him on the boards for a few days. Has anyone been in touch?

Did I just imagine it? I've looked all over but can't find it.

I think we should stop voting & keep them all. Or allow an opiton 2 keep them all! Not every mod is on @ every time & and all the mods do a good job most of the time!! Why cant we vote 2 keep all of them? I think this should have been an...

I think it might be interesting to know what leads guests to this board (whether they stay around or not.) Admins, do you have any statistics on search terms or referring pages? Guests and new members, if you found this board more or less by...

Question in title.

The Who Posted function is now working in Prosilver, Maxthon and Subsilver2 On any forum display or search display the Number in the REPLIES column should now be a link to a pop-up show who posted in the thread. The Dark Room now shows in...

I don't know about you, but I think they sound really intelligent, without seeming too intellectually intimidating. I could imagine most Domeheads even being very friendly and approachable. So, in light of all the discussion going on about...

You do! But only for a little while. I need one or two volunteers to be confined to Room 101 to help test permissions. Test posts to Room 101, including posting polls. Try to post in every forum and subforum, including new threads and replies. ...

What do the titles mean? Is there a naming convention of some kind?

I've sent a few today. Most seem to go out normally, and show up in my sent messages folder. 2 messages seem to be stuck in cyber-limbo in my outbox. The one I just tried to send, and one I sent at least 8 hours ago. Neither of these messages...

I noticed in Thunderdome that some poster's names are red, some are green and some are the blue/gray (mine is b/g). Why? Thanks.

I was wondering why, given the great number of 'theme' threads in The Dark Room, two of them have been stickied to the top, namely the 'Yay, cat pictures' and 'Post your damn dogs!'. Is there any particular reason these two have been stickied and...

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?

It wasn't an "administrative error." It was intentional for reasons that have yet to be fully explained. I don't believe the partial explanation. What is the purpose of cleaning out old spam accounts by deleting them? They've already been banned...

What I mean is: x2 should give me x squared, but it doesn't. Ditto the code. Any particular reason, or am I just stupid? (This is not an either/or question).

To avoid real-life stalking from any butthurt anti-snark mods, I'm using anon proxies to post. My favorite is anonymouse, but all its IPs are blocked from even viewing dumbo. Really? You can't even LOOK at the site if you're from an anonymouse...

I could before. And it seems like several other posters no longer have their avatar's visible. Are the limits different now?

Well?

It was on people's profile page, and then moved to being displayed next to regular posts along with post count. (And I believe it has been displayed at various times on both and neither.) Why does it keep changing? I like having it on the...

For the last two weeks, possibly longer, every night between 9pm & 10pm EDST, the server refuses to connect. During that time I cannot even get to the Mellophant home page. Did I miss some sort of "daily maintenance" annoucement?

Self explanitory.

Well, it's been a few months and so far so good...but things haven't really taken off. It feels like we've reached critical mass (give or take a few) and it's now mostly the same folks chatting away. Frankly, I've enjoyed it (and in particular...

Whenever I look to see who is on line here, it is at least 2:1 guests to members. As I write this, I think there are 13 guests and 4 members on line (well, it IS the middle of the night for most of you). If we were more snarkworthy I would think...

That is all.

Why was this thread moved to the Thunderdome? What Exit never explained why he moved it. I'm assuming it was because of the warning he had go give featherlou who was trying to start a fight in About Domebo, but we all know what happens when you...

......? ETA: And all members with post counts of 1.

The snarkpit is all over some security issue, and I'm hearing it's malicious, I'm hearing it's a misconfig, and I'm hearing it's not anything at all. So what's the deal? What's going on with this? Is there really some kind of security issue that...

Effective immediately, Winston Smith has stepped down as Thunderdome moderator. Thanks, Winston, for your help!

To stop forum clutter, this is the thread for requesting changes to the message board software. Once a consensus has formed around an idea, I'll add to the todo list, below. On my todo list (earlier in the list indicates higher priority): Add...

:emb: :dumbo:

Nothing to see here. Just that after months of the board running smoothly, you people decide to break it on the day I decide to go out of town. Naw, just kidding. Turns out the server ran out of disk space so the db had a little fit and that...

I'm going on a four week long trip, starting today. However, I'll have Internet access the entire time so can still check in and keep things running. I just probably won't be on here for hours at a time because, hey! Vacation! To keep you all...

This is part of the process of my stepping down. More to follow as Zuul and the rest of the team feels ready.
