The reason I updated to the newer version of Firefox was because of a theme issue. There were certain features of the previous version that did not work with the theme I had chosen. It was primarily a tab issue. You could open up tabs and see all tabs as you normally would, except for the starting tab. Whenever I opened a new tab, the main page I had at the beginning would not show as a tab and would only re-appear if I closed all other tabs.sigpic

Hi!
Okay, here's a newby that's not too scared to ask a question.
The first thing I discovered when I finally came here a few days ago (shame over me) was the merchandising-thread. I liked to read and discuss about the action-figures and also the fandemonium-novels. And I thought I pretty much read everything that is there.
Yet, today when I used the search for "whumping" suddenly a thread about the book "A Matter Of Honour" popped up and I was pretty sure I hadn't read this one yet. I checked - the last entry on this thread was at January 2006.
But at the merchandise corner there are only two pages with threads, and they don't go back that far.
So here's my question: What do I have to do to show ALL threads? I wonder what else I missed? I really like to read older threads in a forum.
Is there any place where older threads that have no new entries are stored? Or has it maybe something to do with the recent changes of the site, as I read somewhere?
Thank you for any help
Greetings from Germany

Or you can use the search function, as you did, if you are looking for a particular subject of thread..sigpic

Ah, I see, thank you!
Of course I could have figured out this by myself if I had looked more thoroughly but it's always easier asking questions than looking for yourself, isn't it?
Oh, so much more to explore... thank you, but I have to go now.Funny pictures with Stargate-Actionfigures at http://dieastra.livejournal.com/

Originally posted by TechnoWraith View PostWhen quoting posts, everything in the original post should show up, image tags and everything. When you're viewing the post you won't see the actual tags to make the picture appear. If the image in the quoted post shows up, then everything is working just fine. There is no need to "physically see" the actual image tags to make an image appear. In fact, when you use the image tags properly, expect NOT to see them. It makes the post look neat and clean. It would look rather cluttered to see [img] and [/img] before and after every single image that was posted in the forum. The URL tags work in a similar manner. You won't physically see the tags, but you know they're working when you click the link and it takes you to a working webpage.
Hopefully that will help you out some more.
If not, it could be browser issues or anything in between.

you're saying that when you quote a message and look at in the editor box ("Reply to Thread"), you see the picture--as in pretty colors--not the URL with [IMG][/IMG] tags around it. right?
if so:
It probably means you're in the wrong editor mode. what you're in is called "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" (What You See Is What You Get).
what you want to be in is "Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls"
to switch to this editor either: click the A/A button in the upper-right hand corner of your "Reply to Thread" box (what i'm writing this message in right now)
<<<
this should let you see the URL of the image with the tags. then, just delete the tags and let the URL appear as a link. ie: [img]coolpics.com/wowthatsneat.jpg[/img]
Just sayin, thank you, TechnoWraith for your patient technical assistance. Thank you, ParadoxRealities for your neat wrap of the problem. Now I can go back to drooling, um, posting replies to my fave pictures w/o breaking the Board regs. You rock!

Uh ... I'm not much help beyond that ... It took me a few ... it took me awhile to figure it out and I still don't use it as much as I should.
AdrianneIf I never reply to something you said to me, it doesn't mean I'm ignoring you, it means I'm lazy and the thread moves too fast.

It's all explained here. Well, one part anyhow

It does work across different threads as well. Basically, anytime you hit the multiquote icon, it saves that post to be automatically included the next time you click the "post reply" button and includes it wherever you are.

You can also click on just "quote" ... Like, the one, two, forty posts that relate to the one you're technically replying to ... If that makes any sense.
I've had a hard thinking day.

CalmStorm, thank you for the explanation! Actually, if I want to quote more than one person I'm used to open a new window and then copy the quote-thing to the reply-window. So, same technique, I think
Cool!
I somehow thought that it would be for helping you if you want to quote a long post and write your answer in between. So I thought it would include a [/quote] after every sentence. Obviously I do have to copy that myself further.

Wow, didn't know multiquote works across threads... really cool to know!
I have a question... the way the reputation thing is set up now, is there still a way to get/give neutral (i.e. gray) rep points? When I click on the little scale, there's an option for "approve" and "disapprove" which I thought was only green and red. I noticed someone had just given me a gray rep point and I'm just wondering how they were able to do it.
