edna 6 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I have only "Markup is on". But I think I remember it was in the former site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky 5 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 On the left side of my "new reply" markup is on, and HTML is on. So what does that mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 22 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 Spiders. Here's what I learned: They are visitors that aren't logged in. Probably search engine spiders. Even though it says they are sending a pt or whatever, that means they are only on that page. If you don't allow guests to do a certain thing, they can still click on the link but it will tell them they don't have permission... it will still say they are doing that online because they are on that page.

miamisammy29 4 Report post Posted May 9, 2007 The best way to get rid of spiders is to squish them with your foot or a rolled-up newspaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rayzor 1 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 I have a question about the main site. I can't login there, yet when I come to the message boards I can login without problems. I tried to re-register thinking that perhaps that was the problem, but I wasn't able to because my e-mail already exists in the system. Why is my login not valid? (It's not the password, btw) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c_s_1987 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 Have you tried requesting a new password? That works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayzor 1 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 It's strange... if I ask for my password to be sent to my e-mail it says that it doesn't exist, yet when I try to register it says my e-mail already exists. Strange... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 This happened to me too... some time ago, I changed my email address. I had to log in to the forum by using my old email-address for some time, while the main site wanted my new one. Now the forum has started to accept the new address too. Perhaps it's got something to do with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayzor 1 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 I have only one e-mail address, so I don't really see where the problem should be. Oh, well. I won't be submitting any artist facts or song facts via the main page for awhile I guess! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted May 25, 2007 I just had a thought: why are old threads deleted when there are too much (?) posts? are there site related reasons (bandwith, loading time, storage, etc.) or user related (searchability, navigability, etc.)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted May 25, 2007 then couldn't it be possible to just close them, instead of deleting them alltogether? I only ask, because I once posted a translation in the song lyrics thread, that I could have used again tonight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2007 That sounds reasonable, but I don't know much about the inner machinations of the site. I imagine someone a bit smarter than I am will be able to answer your question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted May 25, 2007 thank you I mean, I believe it wouldn't be necessary to keep the ones from F&G, but others (mainly the Random Thought ones) could be worth keeping, don't you think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2007 I agree... I espially miss old threads like the first Announcements or Random Thoughs ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
