I'm having a problem with many of my posts being double posted by the forum. I then have to delete the second post.

I'm just wondering if it's only me that's having this problem?

Hi Bev!

It's a universal random database glitch that's been hitting all types of messages.Not a lot we can do except to advise y'all to delete the extra copies.

[dipsofjazz]

Thanks for the answer, Baggie. I'm glad it's not just me it's happening to.

Y'welcome Bev!

Afraid the glitch is one of those irksome gifts that keeps on giving.Just had it happen to me again!

Greetings oh wonderful mods...question. I managed to add a photo to my sig. and now I want to change it. After checking the delete box then what do I do? I am sure I have to check something else...but I don't know what....help please.

If you are just deleting the old image you will need to check 'Delete current image' box and probably need to also delete the [sigpic][/sigpic] tags from the editor before hitting Save signature. If you want to change the image with another one, check 'Delete current image', find the new sig (from your computer or the web in the Upload Signature Picture field) and then hit the Upload button.

Thank you very much. You have been most helpful.....

You're welcome. But you want to be careful with that height. The limit is 200 pixels tall and 700 pixels wide in total which includes text. You can see how that looks here. Your sig looks a bit too tall now.

As a suggestion to the modly crew - maybe good time to repeat the sig-rule to the whole forum as I'm fairly certain a whole bunch of us are starting to take up a wee bit more than just 200px size.

Even if we're trying not to.

Something to put on our 'todo' list....although honestly, considering that it's usually long timers that keep doing it, folks that sure know better, i'm honestly not sure what good it'll do.

Is the religious thread gone for good or will we get it back soon?

[Bagpuss]

That particular thread was pulled because of the level of bickering,daily complaints to the Mods ,and the general intolerance amongst some contributors in June.
Hardly a "Help Desk",unfortunately.

I'd call it dead as a Dodo ,but a good compromise will be this : I'll put out the closed RHD as an archive ,then one of you can start a new Religious Discussion thread to carry forward the actual topics and reference points.

That seems the fairest solution,and a fresh re-start.

Success of threads here ,as ever ,depends on whether the debate(s) stay civil within the Forum Rules of course.

[Bagpuss]

See link : Religious Help Desk and read the final post.

A lot of posts were deleted back in June,but if others need to be zatted too : please utilise the report feature,folks.

Any chance of getting this thread stickied in the Fanfic subforum? It would provide a good place for beta readers to get connected up with authors requesting their services. Thanks in advance!

[Bagpuss]

Done!
