Some versions of message board software allow for a spell checker, either built in or external. Is that possible with the one used here? It's pretty helpful for those of us who can't type to save their lives. :grin3:
I believe I have seen a spell checker feature somewhere, I'll go look for it and take a closer look :)Quote:

I didn't know where else to put this message, but I've been to a dinner party this evening and I have returned to my computer a few champagnes into the wind and can't be bothered to find the exact thread that's probably more appropriate. So general suggestions it is...
Why has my post count gone down from the hundreds (ok, so maybe only like 110) down to 70? Did I do something wrong? Or is it a technical glitch I should ignore and live with? I know that I'm not the best poster in the world, but I've only been aware of this site a year and am trying to do better....
Dunno...

Sorry, SianUrsula. I wish removing the stories hadn't affected so many people's post counts so much.Quote:

Um... any talented people with passionate manipulations of the two?
I'm completely devoid of talent in this area so...
Humble request.
Any chance for a Quote Wall? It could have a few sections, like favorite quotes from fanfiction, one for Smallville quotes (with proper credits, of course), things like that. Or does something like that already exist, and I've just been gone so long I don't realize it?
Julie, I remember before one of the board changes there was an arrow you could click for each thread and it would take you to the last post you made on the thread. It was very helpful if you were in the middle of reading posts and didn't want to chance missing one but also didn't want to have to go through the whole section to find the last place you stopped. Did that make any sense? And if so, is there any way to get the option back?
It makes very much sense :) I remember that one well too, but I haven't found a plugin for this version of the board that does the same :/ I'm on the lookout everyday though! ;)Quote:

This leads me to a quick suggestion: since getting out of lurker mode involves us posting, can we have a temporary access to the fanfiction forum (i.e. 5 page count) in order to be able to post? And a warning informing us of this countdown would be helpful. Because being kicked out from the start sort of makes it hard to post and avoid being a Lurker :)
Thanks for considering this.

How many times you sign in/out doesn't affect the lurker mode. It only kicks in when you haven't posted something in a while. This is something the system does automatically, by scanning all users who are either inactive or haven't posted in a while. I'm afraid there's no way to give lurkers a temporary access to the fanfiction forums, it's either all of nothing, that's the way the hack was coded and designed.
When you haven't posted in 25 days or more, there will be a notice (in yellow) notifying you that you're in danger of getting marked as a lurker.
I hope this answers your suggestions :)

Hi,
As I've been on vacation for over 30 days and not been online (internet access was sporadic and snails pace at best), I was reassigned to the lurker group.
I do like this rule and I think its brilliant. I was wondering if it was possible to get email notification before becoming a lurker. I know there is a notice but that's only if you visit and enter the site.
Thanks.
At the moment I'm afraid no. I'll keep my eye out for a feature like this! :)Quote:

It's a whole new system that I have to learn first, but it's on my ToDo list ;)
that's a good idea (unlurking now!)Quote:

I hope the authors will find some inspiration to continue their story. And wish all of them the best of luck.
P.S: I didn't know where to post this so, I hope that its alright that I posted it here.
The stories that end up in the graveyard section are fanfictions that haven't been updated for 5 or more months, and in most cases they end up being not updated at all because either the author has lost interest, or the author isn't a member here any more.Quote:

There should be a mobile version available, but there might be some settings missing after I had to restore the forums a couple of weeks back! I'll take a look at it ASAP! :)Quote:

I with Justicea. It is difficult to post when you have to post elsewhere first. Not complaining just a thought. Thanks for all the work on the sight =)
