I have faith that RF will re-instate the Gray Folio. This one hurts my eyes also.

LOL Oh, I have nothing but undying faith in our fearless leader. It was just a reminder.

[divemaster]

Oh, yes. I always use the soothing blue-gray motif. This orange is too jarring for me!

[Ben Staad]

I use the orange and love it. I've tried other colors but always flip back to it. Sounds like I'm certainly in the minority on my selection.

vB4 Default Style is not quite the Grey Folio, but very acceptable!

[Randall Flagg]

I did ask for people to bear with me.
I'm a former "cracker stacker" I was very good at that, and very good at numbers. I'm not a code monkey.
Everything should be fixed now.
Enjoy the four different "skins".

[jhanic]

Thanks, RF! I for one do appreciate everything you do!

I like the orange!

You need to have completed 5 posts. (really cool avatar by the way - I figure its connected to your story in the welcome thread. Congrats on the 10 years my friend)

Please note that posts in the "off topic" forums will not count toward that 5 total.

I am one of the newbie's being blocked and came to find the answer to the same question, so I guess this is my answer. However, it leads me to another question.

I have made 2 or 3 posts that don't show up in the threads yet. I think they had to be approved first because I am new, which I understand, but it has been a couple days I think. A couple were to older threads so it may have been bad etiquette on my part to revive a thread no one has posted to in months.

Honestly, there is a member offering a book for sale and I was interested in buying, but the newbie block is preventing me from PMing them about it. I was trying to figure out how to get the block removed. I have more than the 5 required posts, but some are unpublished pending approval (I think) and don't count.

By "off topic" forums, do you mean the forums in End World?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, our fearless leader is in Fla for the King signing event all week. That could be your problem. Point me to the post and I'll see if I can help. Too bad, I think it's just a bit of bad timing, unfortunately.

[AstroDad]

Thanks Merlin, not a huge deal. Mostly I just wanted to be sure I wasn't doing something wrong or misunderstanding how things worked.

Not sure how to point you toward the posts, I cannot see them myself, but I am am subscribed to the threads I made them in, so I think there are one each in these threads:

How has the series affected your life?

Step Over to the Dark Side...Have You Converted Anyone? How did you do it?

Have you cried during the quest? ***END OF SERIES Spoilers***

No worries if you can't do anything. These weren't earth shattering posts by any means and I am almost to five just asking about it lol.

Thanks for your help either way.

I meant the post offering the book you wanted to buy.

[AstroDad]

Ha! Sorry for the confusion! I thought maybe you were a mod lol.

Priest posted Little Sisters of Eluria a couple of weeks ago and I hadn't seen and update that it was sold, so I was going to start by inquiring about that one.

http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...l=1#post895865

I've met the 5 post count now and still can't PM, so i guess it isn't an automatic thing.

[AstroDad]

Whoops, I have access to PM now! Thanks anyway, I will PM Priest.

Oh no, I'm not a "Mod", thank the Lord!!! Just a crazy whore for the Haven Fund which, you should check out. We have really amazing and unique items that the artists will do for the HF and no where else. Priest, is a friend so I'll see if the book was sold for you. You do know he is overseas so the s/h will be expensive. You may want to browse around a bit before buying anything and fully see what the site has to offer.

In any case, welcome to the most amazing collecting community on the internet!!! You need to get "Mobbed Up" for the Haven Fund and adopt an artist for your avatar!!! You can get up to speed in this forum.

Have some fun and again, welcome!!!

By "off topic" forums, do you mean the forums in End World?

Thanks!

Starkblast has the off topic threads. I don't know if any other threads would be considered off topic.

[fernandito]

By "off topic" forums, do you mean the forums in End World?

Correct. Anything in End World is considered Off Topic.
Go ahead and PM me if any further questions.

[bdwyer19]

How can I add video? I'd like to upload some from the Bradenton event.

[Merlin1958]

Use the Icon right next to the one for pics. Looks like a piece of film.

Right, but it's looking for a url. Where should they be uploaded to first, before posting?

Generally, Youtube

[Jimimck]

Am I going blind or is the classified thread missing? I can't see it in my subscribed thread list.

[AstroDad]

I don't see it in my subscribed list either. Strange.

[Merlin1958]

Seems to be gone altogether.

[AstroDad]

strange to do that without warning, couldn't they just lock the thread?
