For New Members with fewer than five posts...

[SolomonsGal]

Hi. I've posted five times in five different forums, but I still don't have full access (nor do I see my posts posted in any of the forums!! Am I doing something wrong? I posted in three Baronies forums and then two in general discussion. Forget what topics.

Thanks!

[Br!an]

Posts in some forums post immediately, in some forums the posts are moderated and in some forums the posts don't count toward the first five.

When RF sees this he will probably clear you through to being a full member. The idea is to avoid bots and spam, and you are obviously a real person who isn't spamming the threads.

Or you can post in this thread three more times. I'm fairly sure that it counts the posts immediately here.

[SolomonsGal]

Thankee-sai! The forums I posted in were moderated.

[LokiJake]

starting on my five posts

[Dave1442397]

Hi, I can't seem to do anything with my account. It says it may be suspended or not activated, but I can't even get into my profile to see what's wrong.

[Dave1442397]

Oh, so apparently I had no posts at all. That doesn't sound right, but it has been a while since I was here. Maybe it'll all come back to life after 5 posts.

[fernandito]

Hi Dave

There are several account restrictions for members with less than 5 posts.

Keep in mind that only posts made in 'on topic' threads count towards the total.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any further questions.

[Br!an]

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any further questions.

Once he has five posts and can use the PM feature. :wtf:

[Dave1442397]

Right :) I can't even see my profile at the moment. I better find something to comment on. Funny, I have hundreds of posts on the Cemetery Dance forums, and thousands on Timezone, but I seem to always just look at threads here without responding.

[patzgcrux]

I hope to be a long term active member

[Randall Flagg]

Hopefully all is resolved. Looks like you folks may have not responded to the confirmation email.

Sure would be nice if I could remember my old info and use my old account without struggling to get back into the game :P I think this counts as my 2nd official post .. do off-topic posts still not count, even towards the first 5?

[fernandito]

Correct. Why don't you post a few more times in this thread to get to your total, Jen.

[ZombieElvis]

things got worse, tried to change password and did not get the email with new password, had to contact another member via facebook, who messaged Jerome for me, Jerome made me a new password with the advice i chan ge it right away, so im back , logged in, and still cannot access my profile or post images. :) i follow directions very carefully, i dont know why im having so many problems . but with a little work maybe we can figure this out

[Randall Flagg]

ZombieElvis, give it a try now and report back.

I can reset the password for you, then you can access and update email address, etc.

[wonderings]

Have to say, this makes joining the community very difficult when a post takes close to or even more than a day to even get recognized and marked "not spam". I love the Dark Tower series and would love to join in the conversations, but the security makes it unappealing to keep coming back. I guess you have to do what you have to do to stop the spammers, I just know on the multitude of other forums I am part of, this is never an issue.

You should have no troubles after you make five posts. You only have one more to go. A bit of inconvenience when you first start is better than the flood of spammers we've had in the past. It does deter that issue.

It's probably because of the spam filter that limits your activities before you have made 5 posts. Now that you have made 7, you should be good to go.

[Newguy13]

Rare King book question.I don't know if I am doing this right or not. I never used a forum before. I had a question though about a Stephen King book I bought called Revival. The version I bought has a silver cover instead of the regular blueish one. It still has the hologram like look but has no color to it. I want to know if it is rare and how much it might be worth. I think it might be a misprint. Does anybody know?

[Newguy13]

I hope I posted that right. I tried another section of this site but it wouldn't let me post.

[zelig]

Newguy13, welcome to the site. The DJ you're describing sounds like one that was mentioned on here some time back. It's likely a printing error. As to what it's worth, for something like this it's hard to say because there's no sales history to go by. So it would be whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Take a look at this post (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?18818-What-is-your-favorite-cover-for-Stephen-King-s-Revival&p=891964&viewfull=1#post891964). I'm guessing the copy you have looks like that. If you decide to sell it, I may be interested.

[Newguy13]

Zelig, thank you so much! That answers it perfectly!

[Ebdim9th]

My posts have all showed up right so far ......

[Randall Flagg]

Well, I can understand that they don't want spammers. The only issue is that someone dropping in has to post basically fluff.
You don't have to post fluff. There are many sections you can post in. It shouldn't be tough to post 5 cogent things on a Dark Tower/Stephen King message board.

[Randall Flagg]

It's interesting how even the search bar blocks new members without 5 total posts.
I checked and that is blocked. I'll look into it and see if that can be changed. I see no reason why a newly registered member shouldn't be able to search the forum.

[Randall Flagg]

I just changed a setting so that Registered Users with less than 5 posts can now search the forum. I learn new things every day here.
Thanks for mentioning it.

Greetings, I have been a member of the SKMB for years and have always been meaning to join up here. Big fan of anything SK related, been reading his works since I was 12 when handed a paperback of "Pet Semitary" that I still own to this day. Huge fan of the DT series, but quite skeptical to say the least for the upcoming movies and TV series. Look forward to adding my 2 cents around here.

[Brian861]

Still poking around here ....I see the games subforum has lapsed a bit... nobody wants to play the song game with me? That's a thread I visit regularly on the SKMB ...I should have come by here sooner .... (folks at the SKMB talk about this site all the time)

Are you joking?

We shouldn't be welcoming new people to the site. We should be locking the doors and not allowing anybody else in. In fact, there are some posters who are posting illegally and I think they should be sent to other message boards. Then we should build a massive firewall to keep everybody out.

This is sarcasm in light of current events.

I was wondering...if we make posts and they have to be approved first, is there any way to know whether they have been approved or declined other than seeing the posts themselves appear? Because I made some posts, mainly in the games category, but I don't see them anywhere.

[Jon]

Games category?

I only see one post by you. I you are referring to Starkblast; posts there do not count. Just look around and share with us. Try posting here (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?67-Introduce-yourself)

Hail fans of Sai King and the Gunslinger's Journey. I found this site purely by accident while looking up one of the obscure references from this wonderful series (Aren't they all pretty much obscure lol), and instantly felt as if I'd found my own door to mid-world and walked through it. My own drawing was a lot less terrifying than Jake's and a lot more ordinary than Eddie or Susannah/Odetta/Detta's, but I am here nonetheless.
this is now one of my favourite of all Mr King's tales (or a close secod to the Stand depending on my mood at the time) and I'm really glad to have found you guys so at last I can finally stop boring my wife to tears with my incessant ramblings about the Tower, Blaine the Mono and how Randall Flagg (my Wife likes the Stand but doesn't read - she saw the miniseries) is Marten/ Walter O'Dim and an agent of the Crimson King. along with the many other connections of King-World, and can now hold palaver with like minded folks on the old interweb (also known as the World Wide Wait!), even though the internet would blow Roland's mind (and quite possibly Jake, Susannah and even Eddie's right along with him).
I look forward to conversing with you all (in High speech or Low speech it matters not) and bid you fond farewell.

I just received a version of The Gunslinger that refers to the book as #2 in the series. Other than that it looks like the original version. Is this a misprint? I would attach a picture of it if I could.

The inside of the book says it was published by Plume in 1988 and it is a Hardcover.

I have the 1988 Plume hardcover. I don't see where it states it is #2 in the series. Where is that stated? It does state that "THE GUNSLINGER is the first novel in an epic series" on the rear cover.

BTW once you have posted five times, you should be able to post pictures.

[Deacfreak17]

Thanks for the response.

[Deacfreak17]

I thought it had something to do with the prequel King published later.

[Deacfreak17]

However, that wouldn't make sense because the copy I have was published in 1988.

That doesn't look like my Plume hardcover. I have the Permabound version. That appears to be ex-library. Is it a Turtleback book?

[ICry4Oy]

I have a Turtleback Gunslinger that has no "book 2" on it. The lettering on that appears to be gold color, mine is white.

[Girlystevedave]

I'm very intrigued by this "Book 2" mystery. :orely:

[Deacfreak17]

Yeah, so far it seems like it is unabridged and normal besides the spine. Hopefully, someone can figure this one out. Thanks for the responses. I am new here.

[Br!an]

Some more pictures would help. The front, back and copyright page please.

[stroppygoblin]

I'm guessing someone has done some custom rebinding here and decided that LSOE is Book One and renumbered accordingly.

[ICry4Oy]

It's hard to tell from the picture but to me it looks like the "BOOK 2" was added after the fact. Looks like some discoloration of the black around it. Better resolution pic would help.

[Br!an]

That's a real puzzle. :orely:

All of these first Plume printings are paperbacks. The hardback versions are publishers taking the paperback page block and binding them as hardcovers. This usually happens for library editions to make them more durable.

Turtlebound and Perma-Bound are the two main players for that market. This isn't either of those.

Maybe someone will come along with the answer.

[JadeyRah]

Hello! I'm not sure if this place is still active or not, but I was digging around online, and hoping to find some DT peeps who are as excited as I am about the movie coming out. ^_^

It looks as if the original owner might have had it rebound - hence the Book 2 mistake - and they pasted the PB cover to the front board??

Hi! I'm new here. I've just discovered this forum. I'm reading The Dark Tower series -I've just finished 'The wind through the keyhole'-and I wanted to share my opinions about the outstanding world created by Stephen King.

Thanks for the advice! Nowadays I've almost finished Song of Susannah and I hope I'll finish the seventh and last book the next week so that I can read the forum without fear of reading spoilers.

By the way, is there any post where I can talk about the film? I've just watched it and I'd like to read some opinions about it.

Also, I'm somewhat jealous whenever I hear that someone has yet to finish the series because there's nothing like experiencing it that first time. When you do finish it, there's so many great places around here to discuss the series. :)

I believe I got lucky at a flea market and found a copy of "On Writing", first ed. paperback. Lo and behold on the title page is what looks like Stephen King's signature in blue ink. I would show a scan of it here but I can't seem to find a way to attach it. It's in my own document file. I'd like to get opinions from you folks as to whether or not it is the real deal. My first post and hope I've done things properly. Roadster

I used to mostly only read Stephen King when I was a teenager. I'm now 37 and for some weird reason I can't explain all of a sudden started reading him again since then. Finished Gwendy's Button Box recently followed by finishing Sleeping Beautues only last night. Got a feeling I'm not gonna stop.

[Brian861]

Welcome!

[lotuz]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I can't find answers on the wiki or via search...

Could someone explain reputation points? I assume more is good, but do you start with a certain amount? Can I give them to others if they are "reputable"?

Any info is appreciated! (Or a link to something obvious I may have missed that explains them...)

[Randall Flagg]

Reputation points are somewhat self explanatory. If someone makes a post that you find to be extraordinary (strictly subjective on your part) you can give them positive reputation points. All new members start with a very low reputation count. The system is set up so that you must give reputation to others before you can give additional reputation to someone you have recently given rep too.
From another post:

http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/Take5_fluid/misc/quote_icon.png Originally Posted by bdwyer19 http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/Take5_fluid/buttons/viewpost-right.png (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?p=993129#post993129)
What are the rules regarding positive/negative feedback? I keep on getting the message that I'm not spreading it around enough. How many times or to how many people does it need to be spread to before I can just give someone a little positive rep on the side?
The numbers can be changed, but the current settings are:



Daily Reputation Clicks Limit
How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period? Administrators are exempt from this limit: 10



Reputation User Spread
How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? Administrators are exempt from this limit: 20

[stroppygoblin]

I would also add, that the giving of feedback should not be done lightly - ESPECIALLY negative feedback. Think of it like eBay feedback - members who have a good level of reputation have it for a reason, usually because they have helped others or posted information that is highly regarded (or highly amusing!). There is nothing to stop you posting positive or negative feedback anonymously (unfortunately IMHO) but unless you have a very good reason it will be considered 'Bad Form'.

I'm old enough to remember when I had to write code just to produce a printout from a database, or a script just to do simple repetitive tasks.
