Forum: About Mellophant

hi from phone world!

"Cause I'm not and the box is checked to add it and it's also in my CP as "saved". It does show in the preview. Thanks Quasi

:emb: :dumbo:

Never mind

Now that it seems we have a name (pachydome.com) and a plan, Jim suggested we solicity some artwork for the banner/logo...either public domain or original works. An elephant theme would work well, obviously, but any ideas are welcome! Post them...

In the dumbo days, there was a "view your posts" option at the top of the page. By clicking on that, I could quickly see whether threads I had posted in had generated new posts that I would want to read and possibly respond to. Is there a "view...

How do I do that again? I can click the blue Earth thing and it gives me a box to put in a URL, but how do I get the one that does that and then asks for the text to represent the link?

The Hole was found and plugged. The investigation continues. This has honestly cost a bunch of us some time that should have be devoted to getting the board up and running. The Mole was active as recently as today close to noon EST. They...

Apparently anyone can create a social group, since I just managed to do so. Is this meant to be turned on? It let me invite people, but do I get to decide who's a member -- does the person who creates a group get the ability to keep out or kick...

I've uploaded my avatar, but when in a thread I don't see either mine or anyone else's. Is there something I need to enable elsewhere in order to see avatars? Thanks. Walker.

I've just noticed that we have tags enabled. Do we really want that? Sure it is nice to have all threads carefully annotated with the respective degrees of fatness and retardation of the participants, but other than that I haven't seen them used...

I have a signature and I don't know where it came from. Did I put it there in some fugue state? Did someone else? Seriously, am I nuts? I'll click to show it just so you see it. I didn't even know I had one until I visited while logged...

Working on it. Upgrade to 2.4.1 failed.

test

A progress report, so to speak: I've just e-mailed Jim with details of the board admin login, as well as the front page admin login. As soon as I get some more details back from Jim (on whoever is going to take over domain name management), I'll...

Welcome to Mellophant! Some of you may be wondering, why the change? The short answer is, because our old domain was starting to be blocked by work filters, so we had to move it and make some tweaks. The long answer is because we wanted...

This discussion was split from The Devil Went Down To Georgia. (Jim) Further discussion of the personal history or crimes of posters are to be moved to the Rage Pit. Do not continue this line of conversation here. Oh, really? The Rage Pit is...

Well?

I'm sorry to be so clueless, but do we or will we have Chat here? I see it's still at the old address, but that's, um, the old address.

When I was booted from Domebo, I re-registered, but left out the capitals in my name. Then I got moved over here, still missing my capitals. Could I get my name changed to Chicken Toes, please? Same name, now with more capitalization.

I moved, and in the process changed internet providers and a whole bunch of other stuff, as well as being without internet for a couple of weeks. So, I wasn't what you'd call flabbergasted by the change from DoMeBo to Mellophant; I don't really...

The J Word is temporarily restricted to Room 101 following issues with repeatedly insulting another member in chat. Once the board move is complete he'll be released from Room 101 and simply suspended from chat for 1 month, as he has caused no...

Oooh, this is a nifty feature. . . . . . testing Tripler ::scratches head::

Due to fighting in the chat room shortly before we went live on Mellophant, Exy has been given one week suspension from the chat room and 7 has been given a two day suspension.

Enter up to 50 at a time with commas between tags. If anyone finds a fast tag removal from a thread please post instructions. I click edit tags, put in the new tags and OK then I edit tags and have to select each one to be removed from the...

please?

The following emoticons are stripped from posts in chat without having images replace them: :) :D :( The following emoticons are stripped from posts in chat without having images replace them: :) :D :(

When the new board was opened up for a few minutes, someone registered. I posted a few times before about registration on the new site: basically, PLEASE DON'T DO IT. RAEG!!!!!! :smash: Why? When I import the DoMeBo database into the...

maybe it's time we rethought this move. Why are we really doing this? It seems to me that the only thing we are doing is trying to work around work filters... is this really a good enough reason to go to all this trouble? We'll still have a...

We might not be able to use pachydome.com as pachy sounds like paki to some and is considered a strong ethnic slur. So we need more suggestions. We still favor an elephant theme but do not want to invite Disney Lawyer to be upset or appear to be...

I might be good reading for mods and domers alike. Please remember it is not a pit thread. :smile: Asking for information about the Box and its philosophy as Giraffe invited me to. We could have side discussions on it here too is my idea.

Create a link to http://www.pachydome.com/forums. http://www.MELLOPHANT.COM/forums Save off any PMs you want to save, I don't think they will be moving over. Nevermind Ensure you have a copy of your avatar to upload again as these may not...

I don't think it's any big secret that we are having big problems at domebo. I am hoping that we can fix that, and we need input from everyone. First, I'd like to outline what I see as the major issues. Please note that these are coming from me and...

weeee heeee!

I'd like to move chat off the index page. I propose we put it in a stand-alone forum of it's own, or (better yet) as a subforum of The Thunderdome. I also would like it to be completely unmoderated, and if possible, have a click-through that...

I have to mine the threads on here and GB but I hope some will suggest more here.

I say: NO! Where would we be without the great SDMB meltdowns? We're whitewashing our history here! Hatesfreedom's deathless prose, evaportated into intenet ether. MC's brilliant moment (there had to be one, right?) Seriously, a chunk of board...

We still have no links to get to the front page from Subsilver2 - is there anything in the works to link something up? People might go there more if they could actually get to it. :) Wish List items. 1) Links to Front Page from the...

woooo hooo!

Welcome to the tower Sarahfeena. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

He's back and doing the concern troll thing once again. Frankly, I think he should just go in Room 101. We all know he's trolling.

I posted this in the Save Domebo thread but that might not have been the best place for it so I am making it's own thread. What about segmenting chat into multiple catagories? My reasoning for this is as follows: - We are all about the chat....

We need to talk about who we want to replace Winston and if we want to grow the size of the staff by a little bit. There is strong support for making Sarafeena a mod, but honestly I would rather give pepperlandgirl Winstson's slot, not because I...

We got a report on Exy snarking on Winston Smith in ADF. I posted a note to that thread telling him that it was inappropriate. My question is, should it go farther than that? Like I said before, Exy should know. The report is still open if...

We need a common objective here to give the board direction and act as a focal point for our excess energy. I've got a few ideas. 1. We could snark the snarkpit. Double-irony? No can defense. 2. Since we're a SDMB splinter-board, we could...

Sorry I created all that dumbodrama and you two got dragged into it. Try not to take it too seriously - I didn't mean anything by it - just a litte savage amusement is all.

Report reason: Trolling Reported by OtakuLoki on Aug22 14:20:29 I cannot view this comment, at this late date, from this poster, as being anything but an attempt to troll. I'm not going to respond in the thread, and if the mods decide that it's...
