Technical questions about the site

[Wuducynn]

Okay its been doing that to me now. :angry:

[Daghain]

So far, so good for me. Maybe it fixed itself?

[pathoftheturtle]

Is there a preferred method open for inserting extra effects like superscript, subscript, other text colors, and etc. here?

H₂O

Sorry if it's been covered already; I could do an exhaustive search, but right now I'm already pretty exhausted. <_<

If you hit the "new reply" or "quote" button to post, you get the full reply screen that includes all kinds of text effects and smilies on the toolbars. :thumbsup:

[Wuducynn]

What about the option of having it so that it is always a certain font color or text etc?

[Matt]

:orely:

I believe that is possible, but I'm not sure it is turned on.

We'd probably have to talk it over first.

Aye, this, I ken, and it is a very nice menu, alright. :thumbsup: (love the smilies here! :D ) However, I meant using even more colors and extra extra effects. Maybe I should've just asked if subscript (like, for H2O) and superscript could be added onto the reply screen?

And, if you don't mind, another suggestion: As someone who's catching up with the site after long absence, I'd like if the number of pages in each thread were shown on the various thread title lists. S'il vous plaît?

If such seem worthwhile, that is. Whether or no, thanks for all your efforts. :)

Thanks for the smiley love.

The first question can't be done because I have to stick to BBCODE options that have been loaded to the board. I suppose I could find a tag for what you are looking for but you would probably be the only one who even understood it. :lol:

The second one, I'll look into. :thumbsup:

Morning everyone... I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to edit my avatar... Please? Rose Key and Connie bo Bonnie? I notice you guys were able to import your avatars from the SKMB and I was wondering if you could explain (so that an idiot could understand) how you did it? I miss my avatar. :(

[Rjeso]

At the very top of the page, under the banner image, there's a link bar. Click User CP (located on the far left side). On the following page, in the left menu there will be an "edit avatar" option. Click that, and it'll give you the option to direct link to a image, or upload one from your computer. :)

I notice you guys were able to import your avatars from the SKMB and I was wondering if you could explain (so that an idiot could understand) how you did it? I miss my avatar. :(

Yep, as Rjeso said, its right in the UserCP. I would suggest using an already "hosted" image as opposed to uploading it, the board tries to do something with the size that way.

I would be happy to put one in for you MrsSmeej if you would like to PM me the image. :thumbsup:

[Brice]

Click quick links near the top of the page> click edit profile>click edit avatar on the left of the page>delete the info in the option 1 box and type:

[Brice]

^^^That is her av at SK's board. :)

[MrsSmeej]

:) Have I told you lately that I love you? I'm going to go give it a shot now, but I wanted to thank you and say that you guys are absolutely amazing.

[Wuducynn]

Still having hard time with it?

[MrsSmeej]

Completely lost... It says that I've entered an incorrect irl address. Now that I look at it though, my avatar may be too big. I tried to figure out photobucket, but it is bewildering. What a newb, huh? :scared:

[Brice]

If you want Matt could enter the av I posted from SK's board for you???

[MrsSmeej]

Poor Matt... As if you don't have enough to do, huh? I'll try blundering my way around and imposing on the kindness of your members before I bother you any more... It may come to that though. I'm such a dope on this stuff.

[Wuducynn]

Hmmmmm...from what I understand the message board should shrink the pic anyway. But maybe its too big even for that. Its not a moving avatar pic is it? Because I don't think those even work on here.

[Matt]

Poor Matt... As if you don't have enough to do, huh? I'll try blundering my way around and imposing on the kindness of your members before I bother you any more.

:wub:

That's what I'm here for so just let me know if I can help. You should be able to simply find an image on the internet (pretty much anything), copy the URL and place it in your sig. It should be pretty small though.

Brice posted your one from SKMB and I could stick that in pretty easily if you like.

You can also post the image you would like in this thread and we'll get it on there for you.

[MrsSmeej]

:dance: I would truly appreciate that Matt. Please take your time, there is no rush at all.

Brice? Thank you so much for all of the work you did to help me out. You are indeed a legend and I would gladly kiss your ring.

[Matt]

There you go :couple:

[Brice]

:dance: I would truly appreciate that Matt. Please take your time, there is no rush at all.

Brice? Thank you so much for all of the work you did to help me out. You are indeed a legend and I would gladly kiss your ring.

:D It was my pleasure. What little I did took less than five minutes. I'm glad if I could help.

[Matt]

Same here! You are a sweetheart MrsSmeej--I'm really glad I could help and its great having you here. :wub:

[MrsSmeej]

:rock: I can't tell you how happy that makes me. Silly, I know, but thank you very much.

So much for taking your time, though... I think you set a new land speed record there Matt. :clap:


There you go :couple:

[Brice]

Matt's speed is legendary. :lol: Take a look at his post count...realize noone else has half that many posts and then realize that off topic posts don't even count. :rofl:

[MrsSmeej]

Wow! That is impressive. Your count isn't too shabby either Brice.

[Brice]

Well, really post counts don't mean much more than you can't be quiet. :lol:

[alinda]

Matt had a head start. :lol:

[Brice]

Not by much at all.

[alinda]

I was kidding, but a whole month went by before
I tentitively walk thru the door...jeez! :rofl:
Not to mention how shy I was when I got here.
I got to stop before I crack!!

[MrsSmeej]

It will give us all something to aspire to. And Brice? I've seen some lovely posts from all of you guys. Obviously I've not seen all of them yet, but I've only been here a day or two It might take me a while to catch up... :)

[MrsSmeej]

Alinda? Is it true that smoking is hazardous to our health?

[Daghain]

:lol:

I shudder to think how many posts I have, if I could count the ones in the off-topic threads.

I spend way too much time on the Internet. :lol:

[alinda]

I for one, look forward to your very long
stay here with us. Say for always?

[Matt]

I have been lovingly referred to as a "chatty bitch" :lol:

[MrsSmeej]

You guys had me at hello. :)

[Brice]

I for one, look forward to your very long
stay here with us. Say for always?

Oh, there is no leaving here. I reckon Matt forgot to point that out when he was inviting people.

[alinda]

Alinda? Is it true that smoking is hazardous to our health?

:orely: Well, setting anything on fire and inhaling the fumes
sounds to me to be unhealthy, but on the whole
life will kill ya.So I have come to the conclusion
that all things in moderation is a pretty good idea!:cool:

[Brice]

I have been lovingly referred to as a "chatty bitch" :lol:

This really should be your member title Matt. :rofl:

[alinda]

:lol:

[MrsSmeej]

You guys are a riot. :)

[bodacious ta-tas]

I have a question. Why is it showing that I only have 10 posts? I know I'm not exactly a "chatty bitch", but I think I have at least 40 by now. What is this "not on topic" stuff?:orely:
Does that refer to posting in the Blue Heaven thread? You mean, if I post in an off-topic thread, my post is not counted?
Finished with the questions, for now...

[Daghain]

Yes. If you post in an off-topic thread, those posts don't count. But we're not big on post count here anyway. :)

[Matt]

That is correct. Posting in the two off topic forums..."Dixie Pig" and "Blue Heaven"

But the site itself doesn't stand on post count. I'm actually a little embarrassed about mine.

[bodacious ta-tas]

Thankee, Daghain, for your help.:rose:

[Daghain]

You're welcome! :)

[Patrick]

I for one, look forward to your very long
stay here with us. Say for always?

Oh, there is no leaving here. I reckon Matt forgot to point that out when he was inviting people.
Yeah, we're a bit like Hotel California in that respect. ;)

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: Yep, Patrick's room is the one with the mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice!

[Jean]

I can't upload anything to the Gallery today; keep getting error messages

[Brice]

:lol:

[Brice]

I can't upload anything to the Gallery today; keep getting error messages



I wonder why? :orely: I never even try to upload anything anywhere on this comp. It's too damn moody. Otherwise I'd try to see if it was just you or not.

[Randall Flagg]

I was able to upload one image, but the next several attempts failed.:cry:

[Matt]

I'll check it out :rock:

I just had a chance to give this a try and it seems fine.

Let me know if you are still having trouble with it Jean. :thumbsup:

[Randall Flagg]

I just uploaded 2 images and it worked fine.

[Jean]

yes, it works fine now, thank you! I wonder what it was

EDITED: oops

Unable to create image [/home2/thedark/public_html/gallery/uploads/84/molly02.jpg].
Please contact system administrator.

[Daghain]

I think it's some kind of intermittent problem. I've had it off an on too.

[Matt]

Probably rolling downages and bad luck because I can't see anything wrong with it at the moment. :(

Remember everyone: This site is going to a dedicated server after our anniversary. :grouphug:

[MonteGss]

:cool:

[Sam]

I need to send a private message but cannot find any way to send one. How do I send a message? Please help.

Sam

[Daghain]

You can't send a PM until you've had 5 posts. We had some spammers on the site and had to set an initial post limit to correct the problem. Once you get to 5 posts, you'll be able to access all kinds of cool stuff on the site. :)

[Sam]

Thanks. I did not know that.

[Jon]

Just two more man!

[Girlystevedave]

<------ tattle tale

Theres another spammer on the site: 'nsk'

[Erin]

Yep, and another one also.

As soon as a director shows up, they will be banned. Then we'll get to deleting all the posts.

*sigh* it's sad some people have nothing better to do with their time than spam messageboards.

[Girlystevedave]

I mean really....

[Daghain]

Man, I just cleaned up a couple more in the Restaurant.

These people need to grow the hell up, already. :angry:

[MonteGss]

Bring out the whip.

[Daghain]

More like the S H O T G U N ! ! !

[Míchéal]

Where is the toilet?

[Daghain]

In the bathroom, where it's always been. :)

[Brice]

Bring out the whip.

That's right! The whip is for friends. ;) :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Fuck yeah. :harrier:

[ClashCR77]

Doubt solved here too. Thx

[MonteGss]

If a member chose to use the Ignore Member feature, it would still be possible to un-Ignore that member later, correct? :unsure:

[Matt]

Yep, you can put it on and off at your leisure.

[MonteGss]

:thumbsup: Thanks!

[Darkthoughts]

:( Why? I didn't really mean all that stuff I said to JB!

:lol: :P

You really hurt me Darkers....:cry:

[The Lady of Shadows]

i have tried to create folders to save certain pm's in and i can create the folders just fine. but when i try to move the pm into the folder my only options are still to either delete the pm or download in various formats.

i have cleared my cookies, my cache, my browser history, and used uniblue to clear out all the other crap; then reopened internet explorer (yeah i know, save your bitching for someone who cares :lol: ) but still no joy.

am i doing something wrong or is this just not a viable function?

thanks.

[Randall Flagg]

After you have selected a mesaage by checking it, there should be a drop down box at the bottom of your messgae page that lists the option to move to folder.

[The Lady of Shadows]

right, i've got that drop down box. but my folders don't show up in it. it's like they're invisibile or something. here's a screenshot.

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk95/turtlesong/pmfolders.jpg

[Randall Flagg]

The very first option is Move to folder.
I see it on your screen shot (it is the first/default option).
Once a message that is clicked /selected you highlight Move to Folder and select Go.
You should then have the option to select which folder to send the message(s) to.

http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/9439/pmfolders1yo9.jpg

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh. just like in the subscribed to threads. god am i an idiot or what? :blush:

thanks. sorry for the stupidness. i don't know why i thought the move to folder thing meant that the folder's would be right there. DUH!

:)

Question mark

[Nerak]

what in blue blazes???

[Matt]

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/182/quoteaf4.jpg

Question mark

Looks like you tried to quote a post that did not exist in the thread. Probably a bad check mark or...more likely, you were quoting a post that got moved or deleted. Where did it happen?

[fernandito]

It's happened me on several threads. The first time I noticed it I was in the OCD thread, I multi-quoted two posts and that appeared. After seeing it a couple times, I decided to go into any random thread (in this case, the PAYG) and quote something to see if it appeared again. It did.

[Brice]

Ok, here's why I think. Let's say you did something like you clicked the multi quote in a different thread and then changed your mind about posting, but didn't click it back from multi "on" to multi "off" then when you went to quote elsewhere it would still be saved and you could click quote this post" and use to quote from multiple threads as well (works with basically any amount of posts/threads). Is this making since at all? Am I explaining it badly?

[fernandito]

I vaguely remember multi-quoting something and then having changed my mind about posting...this could be it.

[Brice]

I'm certain of it. I've done the same thing before. It took me a few times to figure out what was going on and how to use it.

[Randall Flagg]

Brice is the sharpest guy here.

[fernandito]

If he was a Star Wars character, he'd be a Jedi Master.

[Brice]

Thank you, but i only found out because I made the mistake myself early on.

[Matt]

Thanks Brice, that makes perfect sense. :rock:

[Brice]

No problem!

[obscurejude]

When you are viewing a profile, what are "referrals"?

[Daghain]

People you've told about the site. When they sign up, they can state who referred them here. :)

[obscurejude]

People you've told about the site. When they sign up, they can state who referred them here. :)

Thank you, I've been trying to figure that out for several months.

:panic: :panic: :panic:

[Daghain]

No problem! :)

[obscurejude]

I kept thinking that it had something to do with using someone as a reference for work. :lol: I was thinking, "Who the hell used Monte as a reference?"

[Daghain]

AHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

[MonteGss]

I kept thinking that it had something to do with using someone as a reference for work. :lol: I was thinking, "Who the hell used Monte as a reference?"

Someone with some class. ;)

[Daghain]

*snort* :lol:

Clearly not Daggers!

[Daghain]

:P

[obscurejude]

:rofl:

[Míchéal]

Forgot where we're supposed to put this but spam alert.... Spetertoi.

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks. We have a Spam and Spammers thread, but your post here was helpful. The offender has been banned, and the posts deleted.

[herbertwest]

one thing is "annoying" about here:
the QUICK SEARCH option cannot be used, as it does automatically put the message that the image have not been copied (to fight against spamm)

would there be no way to have the image against spamm appearing while doing the quick search?


If you do get what i mean...

[Matt]

Actually I'm not sure what you mean at all. :lol:

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Actually I'm not sure what you mean at all. :lol:

So I'm not alone then :lol:

[Jean]

No.

[Daghain]

Nope, I'm lost too.

[herbertwest]

well, it seems to have been changed now?

i previously did try while logged on or not...
ok, forget it...

[Brice]

So...is this resolved then?

[Randall Flagg]

ok, forget it...
Yes.

[Girlystevedave]

I don't know that I've witnessed such utter confusion from so many members of the staff at once. :lol:

[Daghain]

You don't read the mod forums. :lol:

[Jean]

You don't read the mod forums. :lol:

Ok, I'll send this on to the clearing.

[Jean]

I had the Granddaddy of all Database Errors today... lasted about 11 hours (maybe not continuingly - I didn't check for about two hours in the middle), since apprx 9 AM till apprx 8 PM (Moscow time)

[Randall Flagg]

It has been down for a while. I just was able to pop in.

[Brice]

I was able to come on for a while at about 8:30-9:00 AM, but I was just now able to get back on a few minutes ago.

[Matt]

We are taxing Host Rocket like a mofo right now you guys. The site must go to a dedicated server...I'm forcing them to give me a deal so the negotiations are taking a bit. :rock:

Sorry about the outage this morning.

[Daghain]

That would explain your mood then, right?

If you need help chipping in for that, let us know. We could start a community chest or something. :)

[fx12345]

I've already looked at the User CP thing and I still can't find it.

[Girlystevedave]

When you go to user CP, there should be a list on the left side of your screen. Edit signature is listed there.

[The Lady of Shadows]

you don't have the minimum number of posts yet. and that's a minimum of on-topic posts. the on-topic vs. off-topic parts are marked when you click on the "palaver" at the top of any page off the site.

you only need a tiny number - like five i think - to get the bells and whistles. so start talking to us about all things sai king related. and welcome to the site. :rose:

[Hannah]

You need just one more post, fx12345. In fact, if you reply in this thread ... you'll have the minimum number of posts required to add a signature. Then just follow Girlystevedave's instructions a couple of posts up and edit away.

:)

I like your sig by the way. :nana::nana::nana::nana::nana:

[HanzouNorak]

jesus fuck, does five posts really matter so much in the scheme of this site?

[Matt]

I'm not sure what your asking.

If you mean..."does the 5 post rule stop SPAM?"

Then yes, it seems to help.

[Randall Flagg]

I've already looked at the User CP thing and I still can't find it.
This thread explains the process. As mentioned, you now have 5 posts so you can add a signature.
Uploading images, and adding a picture to your signature (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=302)

jesus fuck, does five posts really matter so much in the scheme of this site?
As Matt said, yes is does greatly reduce spam.

I am going to merge this thread into The Dogan Q&A thread with a 1 day redirect.

[Míchéal]

Sorry if this was asked before but how do I quote multiple posts in one of my posts, I tried 'multi on' cos I think I read it somewhere before but that got me nowhere so i'm sure i'm fucking up somehow. (pardon my french)

[Odetta]

click multi on for each post you wish to include in the order you want them to appear.
On the last one, hit quote and they should all be there for you.

[Míchéal]

Thank you very much:rock:

[razz]

yeah why are there -4 books up for auction? has someone sold non-existent books?

[Matt]

[The Lady of Shadows]

burrr is missing, or is that just because it's summer?


HA! it's not just me. well, okay i might be me but HA! anyway. :dance:

[razz]

why isn't ther a ranting mood? or a incoherent mood? or a mentaly unstable.

[The Lady of Shadows]

because then we'd all be using those moods instead of any others! ><

[Jean]

oh Lord... I just woke up, and of course I read "missing mods", and of course I spent some time wondering what was so "lobstery" about Zone or, God forbid, Ruki...

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh Lord... I just woke up, and of course I read "missing mods", and of course I spent some time wondering what was so "lobstery" about Zone or, God forbid, Ruki...

god jean i needed that so badly, you have no idea! :wub:

of course, i'm going to have lots of words besides lobstery if zonie doesn't get his ass back here soon! :evil:

[Daghain]

Yanno, I think "lobstery" should be a mood. :lol:

That, and some version of "fuck you and the horse you rode in on". :lol:

[fernandito]

so, am i crazy?


Yes.

why thank you feev. this from the man who is still worshipping the movie that has been beaten out of the number one slot by a movie where robert downey, jr. plays a black man - for real? :lol:

If you don't like the answer then don't ask the question.

That simple :)

[The Lady of Shadows]

wait. what?

the question of which movie is better or the question of whether i'm insane? :unsure:

i'm soooooo confused. :panic:


(it was a joke feev, hence the smilie face?)

[Matt]

As we all know, I'm not an "image" guy. I would love some more moods that were tailored to the site but I would need someone one to make them

If you have mad skills, let me know because the reason we have custom ones at all is because someone stepped up. :cool:

[Hannah]

Matt's a good director because he knows how to delegate. :rock:

[razz]

because then we'd all be using those moods instead of any others! ><
and what's wrong with that http://www.stpixels.com/static/smileys/paranoid.gif

[fernandito]

Matt - what program(s) have other used to make the smilies? Photoshop?

[Matt]

I am not sure but I don't think it matters. The specs are here

Width: 72px
Height: 15px
Size of file: 1.48 KB (1513 bytes)

[fernandito]

Just one more question -

the custom smilies that we currently have - were the smilies on those created from scratch? Or is there some sort of smilie cache (for lack of a better word) where they draggged and dropped to use as a template?

[Matt]

A couple of different people did it (and thanks btw, if you plan to give this a try)

Mike Beck did the ones formated like "todash"

The animated ones like "bearish" were done by someone else, I believe they went from scratch.

I certainly didn't provide any information other than specs.

[The Lady of Shadows]

and it's time for another round of i'm an idiot. is it just me or can you only save received pm's to created folders and not sent ones? thanks.

[Matt]

I am not sure of that Turtle, hopefully someone can come in and answer the question.

I delete all my PM except a few which I archive to my local computer

[Randall Flagg]

and it's time for another round of i'm an idiot. is it just me or can you only save received pm's to created folders and not sent ones? thanks.
If it is really crucial, the info could be saved elsewhere. I would guess that at this time this is a low priority issue. Matt has a lot on his plate.:P

[Randall Flagg]

am i insane
so, am i crazy? did i imagine these moods? you can tell me yes, because it's entirely possible.
truly. . . . .

><

ETA - okay, i am insane. or IE7 is eating my moods. because bitchy just showed up but i swear to gan that the others aren't there, really. REALLY. they aren't. :cry: i'm not crazy.
You are insane. Please stop clogging up the boards.:pullhair:

[Daghain]

Hey ts, you should be able to find SOMETHING in the current list to satisfy you for the moment.

Matt has a LOT to do on this site, I'm guessing moods are down on the list a bit. :)

And, he's not paid for this, so you have to just be patient, my dear.

[Daghain]

Plate, hell. He has a PLATTER. :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

no, it's not crucial. i thought it might be something simple i was missing like before. it's not a big deal at all and not something anyone needs to worry about if it's not something that can be done. like i said, i thought maybe it was just a setting i was missing, or a box i was missing like before.

sorry to bother you.

it's entirely possible that i am insane.

however, i don't feel that asking a legitimate question is clogging the boards in any way. i thought that the dogan was here to ask questions. sometimes it's a simple "yes" or "no" question, sometimes it's a "you're insane it's never been that way" question. and i am not the only one who noticed missing moods. someone else noticed that brrrr was missing as well (the little penquin or whatever it was wearing a scarf).

i apologize if my understanding of the dogan is incorrect, but i will not apologize for asking questions and i resent being accused of clogging the boards.

there is always something in the list to satisfy everyone. :) i really didn't think i was asking anyone to do anything. just asking if there were moods that were missing. and i was only asking because i didn't know if the software upgrade had eaten some moods or the server switch had. there really isn't anything that needs to be "done".

[jhanic]

Turtlesong, you've done nothing wrong. Whoever it was that responded so negatively was the one in the wrong. You had a perfectly good question.

John

[Ricky]

You are insane. Please stop clogging up the boards.:pullhair:

Was that completely called for, RF? TS is asking a legitimate question in the correct thread for doing so. Being a manager on this site, you of all people should know what clogging the boards really is. We all post off-topic posts at times but TS's post was definitely not one of them.

Maybe you're just in a bad mood or something--I don't know. What I do know, however, is that you shouldn't need to have a 16 year old tell you that you're being immature.

[Hannah]

Asking questions is what the Dogan is for. In the future, TS, feel free to post questions in here just like you did with this one. :)

[razz]

in fact, post twice as many.

[Woofer]

And no, you're not crazy, some moods did disappear. Zombie is gone for sure.

Matt, if these types of questions are bothersome, please let us know. Also, please do not feel pressured to do anything just because we ask a question about it.

I'm going to look into creating wolfish since John Wolfe disappeared. Don't anyone hold his/her breath, though, as I've never made one of these.

[bangoskank1]

I'm a pretty easy guy to get along with...I also go out of my way to help other people...I also can be difficult when the time calls for it..I also think certian people should stop fucking with turtlesong...she asked a fucking question....dot...period...the end.

[Daghain]

Wasn't he the one who did some of the other moods, like bearish?

Where did that boy go, anyway?

[Hannah]

I'm such an idiot that I didn't even realize some of them were custom. The only ones I understood were custom were todash and roont. :lol:

[Daghain]

:lol:

I know bearish was custom, and I think Mike Beck did todash and dim. BTW, WTF happened to Mikey, anyway?

[Hannah]

He's pretty much off and on, I think. Dude's around sometimes and gone for long periods of time other times. That's how he's been over the past four years anyways. Maybe he'll show up in like ... six months. :shrugs:

[Woofer]

Also, IIRC, just before he disappeared there was an interaction with the law.

[Daghain]

Well, he needs to get his butt back here and draw up some more moods. :lol:

[Jean]

yes, it was him who did them, and he was great! And the guy himself was great, bears miss him! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_sad.gif

[Daghain]

Me too. :)

[Jon]

6 members and 59 guests???


Sounds like DT.net to me.

[Jon]

By my count it's 6 members right now.

I was never a favored Mod at DT.net...and I only have respect for one beside Patrick.

Not sure what you mean here Jon

[jayson]

Cry pardon if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't figure out where else to post it, and it is a question about the site... will sports betting be returning to the casino for the upcoming nfl season? it was the only casino thing besides blackjack that i was reasonably good at. :pirate:

Yes. I plan on posting a betting line for most/all NFL games. I also will likely post lines on MLB playoff and World Series games.
Look for week 1 of the NFL to go up ~9/01/2008

Cool! Thanks RF. :)

Hi, When I try to get into the chat rooms, I get the button that tells me I need the Java download. I click this, and it tells me that I've already got the proper software, but I still get the button and can't get into the chat. What am I doing wrong?

John

[Daghain]

I know Matt posted a couple things that may fix it, but damned if I can find them anywhere. :pullhair:

[The Lady of Shadows]

it's this post (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showpost.php?p=228157&postcount=212). hope this helps. :)


ETA: IE means internet explorer just so the same question doesn't come up again. if you're working with netscape you can pm somebody (or me if you want, i don't mind). if you're using a mac i'm out of the loop cause i'm a pc. :D

If he had a Mac, it would just work. :lol:

Not sure what you mean here Jon



I mean, the first sign way back in 2000 that something was wrong with the board at DT.net was an unusual ratio of members to guests. I saw the same Friday night, (6/59), and I was concerned for .com. I then went seeking glitches and sent many PMs to Matt...thus the phrases " Sounds like DT.net to me." and all the PMs lead to this; " (sorry Matt, I'm a troublemaker...I gave Josh the same shit.)"

Then I am a bit bitter how, toward the end, two mods did it all, the work, the others left, and I was left holding the bag, getting the angry PMs with no answers from Admin. to help me...etc... I was just venting and stated " I was never a favored Mod at DT.net... (I hit heads with one mod a lot...heated shit.) and I only have respect for one beside Patrick.
I am an ass!!!"

Sorry to be so confusing. I just vented. I held the bag for near a year.


This is way off topic but I was spooked by glitches similar to DT.net's.

Back on topic.

[Daghain]

Okay, first...deep breaths. Better?

50% plus of our "guests" are spiders - search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) crawling the site. It's okay, really. Creepy, but okay. :) It means we'll show up that much higher on the search engines when you type in "Dark Tower".

I get the PTSD response - had I been in your shoes, trying to answer questions I had no answer for, yep, would have been there!

Hope you can work it out. No worries, mate! The site is all good, the mods are on the spam/bots/inquires like you wouldn't believe. :)

It's all good, Jon. Just sit back and enjoy!!!!

[Jon]

Thankee


SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!:unsure::scared::panic:

John,

You may want to check to see if you have pop-ups blocked for this site. If they are blocked, unblock it and then try again. Remember that any toolbar you may have (google, Yahoo, MSN) have their own po-up blocking so if you have any of these installed, the pop-up must be enabled in toolbar settings.

If it is still failing, make sure JavaScript is enabled this way:

Activate JavaScript in your browser

To start the chat, JavaScript must be activated in your browser. If it is not, you can make the following changes in your browser settings:

* Microsoft Internet Explorer

In the menu bar > Tools > Internet options > Security > Internet > Modify settings > Scripting > Active Scripting choose "activate". Confirm your changes with a click on “ok”.

Le us know....

[jhanic]

Well, I've disabled the pop-up blocker, enabled the Active scripting and I still have the same problem. I KNOW I'm doing something wrong or have some wrong settings about there, but I'm darned if I know what.

John

[Matt]

Did you try the link above John? Its supposed to be an automated thing that checks your system for you. Version and set up I mean.

It's recommended and totally secure.

[VastOne]

John

John,

Do you have any special FireWall software running, like ZoneAlarm or a router that may be handling JavaScipt calls? I realize thisis unlikely as you said you got it to work in Firefox, correct?

What version of IE are you using and which operating system?

[jhanic]

I didn't notice the link. I'll try that.

John

[jhanic]

Well, I've tried it, but I guess I just don't have the expertise to make it work. I can't figure out exactly what I'm supposed to do because some of the things it says to do don't match what is offered to me via my menus. I did figure out that I have the Microsoft VM Java browser 1.6.0 installed. Oh, well.

John

[Matt]

We'll get it going for you John, let me do some research.

[jhanic]

Okey dokey.

John

[VastOne]

Okey dokey.

John

Do videos and such work for you at Youtube.com? Do you use any other chat programs like MSN or Yahoo or Gmail? And if so, do they work ok?

[VastOne]

Okey dokey.

John

What version of IE are you using and which operating system?

[Daghain]

After you changed all your settings, did you restart your computer?

I know, it sounds dumb, but sometimes it works. :)

[LadyHitchhiker]

Okay how come all the avatars are gone, my editing options are gone and there is no background pictures on www.thedarktower.org right meow???

[LadyHitchhiker]

And like my box doesn't have all its features or smilies and I can't just reply to a pm; I have to send a new pm to them.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Annnnnnnnd the gallery isn't working right because I can't see any of the pictures there or on my profile.

These problems have been going on for a few days.

I tried changing versions. That made it worse.

[jhanic]

What version of IE are you using and which operating system?

I'm using Microsoft XP. I assume that I'm using the latest version of IE. I try to upgrade whenever I get a notice. I don't know how to see which version of IE I have, though.

I did reboot my computer after the changes, but the same things still happen.

I am able to see all the videos, etc.

John

[gsvec]

John, if you open up an IE window, then click "Help" then "About Internet Explorer", it'll tell you the version of IE you're using.

I really want to help out but I have checked in both Firefox and IE and the site seems to be working fine. Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

Perhaps some screen shots would help me get on the way. :couple:

[gsvec]

All's well here, Matt! :D

And I'm sorry for your problems, Liz! :(

Yep, it's all working for me too.

that's correct. Small amounts often drop into those holes in the seams between various planes of existence. The more the better.

hey, um...i don't know if this going on with everybody, but the site looks just a little bit fucked up http://a164.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/60/l_48fd4cb1706ac20efebb4968540a6553.jpg

[Matt]

I'll need a bit more info than that Razz, looks fine to me.

[Daghain]

I think the colors are off for him. The top of the page is white. I had a similar problem a couple days ago, but reloading the page fixed it.

I blame my work connection. :lol:

damn your quick tho daggers!! :lol:

okay. there are no site imaes working. notice the sides of the screen are white. where they should be black.
