MEMBERS helping MEMBERS: General Help and Assistance Thread

[Tracy Jane]

Yes I can see. You guys are way offtopic. I mean come on it is like the offtopic forums with post count on.

Not at all. The following question was asked by Gatehorse

Can someone help me? I never really understood Major Clanger's spoon. what's it all about?

The piece you quoted was an explanation of the spoon's history from Clanger herself.

[captainpash]

Bad example. There was about two pages with out a fraking question.

[HirogenGater]

Since this is a general help thread, here goes, this question is to any person who bought the Region 1 set of Stargate Atlantis.

Are there any scene selections? I popped in Disc three and can't find scene selections as an option. On the main menu I click episodes and then the actual episode and then the episode just starts with no option for scene selection. Is this normal? If it is, I am VERY dissatisfied with this set, how can there not be any scene selection? There has been on eight seasons of Stargate.

[gatehorse]

What spoon? There is no spoon. 8)

Seriously, I don't know how it came about. It seems that it's always been with us, since the very early days.

It's purpose is to keep people in line, or to administer payback for calling the Clanger a PFRT. It can only be thwarted by using a handy dandy super spoon-guard. We used to have quite a few laying around.

*rummages around in the dark corners of GW*

Ah here. Have one.

>>--------------<

It's usually very effective.

Ah, thank you. that helps.

Oh, and....PFRT? Dare I ask what that is?

[gatehorse]

I hope you're not implying that I'm old...

Drat, Kat, I thought I'd thrown the last of those spoon guards on the bonfire...

as to the spoon's purpose: anyone seen Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves?

The only Robin Hood I've seen is Men in Tights But I understand what the spoon is for now.

Yup. It made me mad too. If you want to go to the middle of an epi, you have to FF leik woah.

Pink, Furry, Rat,Thing.

It's what I mistakenly called the Clanger upon first sight. Notice I said mistakenly. Nowadays I do it on purpose.

What a way to make a good impression.

Okay, so I want to give someone green, someone I have never given green to before, and it comes up with that I have to spread it around before I can give to this person..why, if I've never given to them before, and I can apparently, give it to someone else in the thread that I don't wish to give green to?
I tend to see the forest, not the trees, so what am I missing in this senario?

[Qasim]

There is only a certain total amount of rep that you can give out in one day after that it gives that message so try again tomorrow

BTW Hallowed is the spoon!!!

Edit: read the post properly if you can give it to someone else then thats weird shouldnt be happening

[leaper]

Thanks Qasim...I hadn't given any green for a good 24 hours prior (am I in trouble for that? lol) and I could have given green to someone else in that thread...thats why I've been scratching my head about it..
re: the spoon thing, over my head...its nearly 1am here

it might be like the "darren effect"...
maybe you gave the person rep ages ago and the system hasnt registered that you can give them rep again?, i mean this is a big forum, stuff takes time to filter through.

Anyone still having trouble subscribing to threads? I cannot for the life of me get that function to work. Anyone have any ideas or info I might have missed in regards to this?

thanks!

The thread subscription feature has been come and go for the longest time. Many people have had issues with subscribing to threads. If subscribing to threads through your control panel (My controls) doesn't work, try subscribing when you post to a thread.

At the bottom of the "Reply To Thread" window, is a section labelled "Additional Options". One option is "Thread subscription." Select the appropriate option. If this doesn't work, try contacting a mod and seeing if they can help you out.

Also, consider checking the spam/junk/bulk mail folder of your e-mail service. If you try subscribing to many threads (and it works), the high volume of notifications may end up putting GW on the spam list, which usually means the notifications get sent to the spam/junk/bulk folders, or even deleted straight out. You may have to create a filter to allow GW e-mails through. (I have to use a filter, otherwise i'll never get any GW correspondence!).
