Ask the Moderators

[TameFarrar]

PM? I doon't understand this short hand

I did the search you suggested already-my post is missing

PM= Private Message
I have already sent you one with the last post you wrote on that thread linked. If you wrote another one since that time it did not post to the forum as there is no post showing as deleted. We do not *delete* (ie physically remove) any post only remove it from public viewing. All posts are still available for Moderators to review in the case of a dispute.

[TameFarrar]

Just a reminder folks

This thread is for questions to the Moderators for Forum related issues NOT show related or personal related issues.

If you have a show related issue you can search the Forum using the search function OR the members helping members thread OR if the topic is worth a thread of its own and there is no thread for it start one

if it is personal please PM any or all of the moderators on duty
and as always all maintenance items can be reported along with violations using the report post feature

I wasn't sure where to address this question - Why doesn't GW album upload pictures in full size? I have a handful of good big pictures for Profile Page's background, but they get tiled, bc after uploading they're so small.

Oh, and is there a good reason, why the background image has to be from GW album? Not external link, for example.

Thank you.

[Skydiver]

that too id a darren question. Since he's da boss, he sets many of these settings how he wants them, so he's best to explain his rationale

[Lahela]

If I report a post but get a "database error" page, can you confirm that it means the report hasn't gone through? I assume it hasn't, but thought I should ask because I don't want to send multiple reports about the same post.

Sounds like these issues are all related to how vBulletin has configured the user profiles section. I can look into the settings that are available to us in the admin panel, but they just may not cover these issues.

Will GW log you out if you havent already and you have been inactive for a week or so?

Please would you be able to sticky this thread in the stargate general discussions area. It has been set up by numerous members as the main thread for the 'save SGA' campaign.

How are the threads featured on the main page selected? Is it just random or is it due thread activity?

[FN-P90]

I think its thread activity.

I have a notification in my control panel that does not go away. It is related to an unread visitor message. Everytime I click on it, go to my profile page, return to the control panel, it stays there.

I tried with the following browsers:

1. Opera
2. Firefox
3. IE7

All of them give the same result before and after I clear my cookies, history, cache, reboot, etc.








Any input on this?


Thanks.

Hi Mods and Folks!

Didn't know where to pop this note It's been an absolute age since i last visited or posted here! and seriously wanted to catch up with people! i see some familiar faces! i once posted here under "Anubis_Child" way back even before Atlantis started it's first run and the days of save Daniel Jackson!
recognise some names (majorclanger, Skydiver, Morjana, Gipsy...!) and im wondering if Merl and Zanny still post around these parts! i found a postcard from Zanny she sent me from Vancouver once and memory's of the convention in Blackpool came flooding back so i had to seek them out my name's andy by the way lol.

I really like what you have done with the site by the way guys, truly great work.

One other thing i have to say is Continuum is great!

take care folks!

Um Hello?! As I've never started a thread, I thought I'd come check here for guidelines. I've a question regarding a crossover fanfic I'm writing. I'm thinking it needs to be in the fanfic section. Do I just go over there and start a new thread? I don't usually put a foot forward.

From the looks of it all the reports are coming through even though folks are getting database errors

I don't think so. Unless you physically log out of GW, and the cookie has not expired you should still be logged in if you click on a saved link to the Forum

FN is correct...Thread activity determines what threads are on the first page if they are not stickied

Most folks have found that by deleting the actual message they have rectified this problem

Hi
We have a a Welcome thread over in Off topic if you want to *re* introduce yourself. This thread is for Forum related questions to the Mods... But we are glad you are here

Um Hello?! As I've never started a thread, I thought I'd come check here for guidelines. I've a question regarding a crossover fanfic I'm writing. I'm thinking it needs to be in the fanfic section. Do I just go over there and start a new thread? I don't usually put a foot forward.

It probably would be Fanfic that you are looking for. My suggestion would to first search the Fanfic section for a thread that might be about *Questions or Help* with my fanfic or something of that nature and if you can't find any threads that don't already have a topic close to what you need then yes by all means start a thread

I don't think so. Unless you physically log out of GW, and the cookie has not expired you should still be logged in if you click on a saved link to the Forum

Pardon me a moment. I have a correction, I think. I get logged off the forum when I've been inactive for more than a hour or so. It may be because I share a comp and don't have 'remember me' checked. I guess that means I don't have a 'cookie'.
