I have a quick question-- is there a manual for this site?
If so, can I get a link to it?

I have been trying to figure out for months now how people add comments to my "Thanked Post" page. Most people do not add comments, but there are some members who do...

HOW DO THEY DO THAT???

I used one of blackboot's posts for a trial run and I may have reported hys "birthday wishes" post. Sorry about that. How can I add the little tiny words to my "thanks"?

Look at the bottom left hand area under your username and stats? these three little icon thingys? the middle one? click it!!! a weetle box pops up and you can add comments!!!

HAHAHAHA Niiiice, reporting blackboot's birthday. LOL If you comment and then thank, you can do both. If you thank first, you can't comment. Look for the scales not the exclamation. It's in the middle.

when I play majjoing solitaire, it blacks out at the end and I never get to see my score, let alone record it. Is it my computer or something in the system with my computer that is causing this? help please?

Ohhhh that is what I was doing wrong-- I was thanking first and THEN trying to comment!

Thanks Arwen, June and LipstickLolita for all of your help!

I just tested it and it worked fine for me - Have you heard of anyone else having this issue?

i have been looking around at the Forums, FAQ, Subscription Info. and everywhere else i think this question/answer could possibly be, but cannot find it. Is there a way to send one visitor message to all people on my friends list at one time?

Thanks!

Not off the top of my head. In fact, I would bet this would require a modification to code for this as it would be hugely inviting for spammers to use to their advantage.

ok. thanks, linus!

[DapperButch]

I have a question, for whoever (Admin/June/Linus):

If a person wants a name change, do they need to announce the request/name change in the name change thread, or are people allowed to just PM Linus and he will change it (subsequently, changing the name on all past posts for that person)?

I like the ability to come back to the name change thread b/c there have been times when I read someone and know that they were someone else before, but can't put it all together...kinda makes me....

[Linus]

The request must be public. It will be easy to tell anyways since older posts will also reflect the name change.

Thanks, Linus.

No, my point was that since the name gets reflected in all past posts, if it isn't made public, then we wouldn't know the original poster.

Like, if I asked you to change my name to Fred through a PM, and you did so, DapperButch would cease to exist (appropriately). So, then if Sally Sue is looking at an old post and didn't know about the name change, she would think to herself....hmmm...I thought it was some other Butch who started that thread...I thought DapperButch started that thread...who is Fred?

If the name change does have to go through the name change thread, then Sally Sue can look to that thread to see who Fred is. So, I am glad it it that way.

That's what I was saying.

Thank you.

I am still having problems with Majjoing solitaire (I know, I butchered the spelling). Whenever my game is over, I get a black screen and then I am bounced out of there. I am wanting to do better than my last score (which I havent done yet) and am worried that when I do, it wont get recorded.

is anyone else having problems with that game?

and why, in the first round, when I get rid of all the squares, does it roll the numbers real fast and then throw me out of the game? Dont I get to go to the second turn?

softness,

When a mahjong solitaire game is over, the rolling of numbers very fast is the game adding your leftover clock time to your score. Then you will see a black screen which is the page sending your score to the leader board. The page can take a bit to load. If you are just getting a plain black screen, you might want to update java - that solves a lot of arcade problems.

If you clear the board in the first round - I never got a second board. Some games have funky quirks in them. So leave a couple of tiles and click for a new shuffle.

Maybe that will help a bit.

Is it possible to MOVE the FORWARD button on the pm response AWAY from the REPLY button?


grin..

or am I just going to have to learn to pay attention to what button I am clicking?

[Linus]

As I like to tell my students.. "Reading comprehension isn't a requirement but it does help.. "

That kind of change would require quite a bit of code change. It could be done but won't be a high priority on our list of "to-dos".

[asphaltcowboi]

im wondering if anyone one would want.. and if it could be done.. if the high scores in the arcade could be reset like every new year? give everyone a chance to grab at a high score from ground zero?

[Linus]

Certainly could be done but let me check with Medusa if she wants to do that. I'd hate for people who have gotten the high scores already feel like it was for not.
