Well, the problem was that much of what you're referring to went well beyond rude, and fell more well within the lines of flaming, flame baiting, and flame wars. That's something that is just flat out unacceptable in ANY forum setting.

That would be because not a one of 'em is an AFF author.

I'm curious as to what brought it on, as the forum itself hasn't changed structurally. Simply the SOFTWARE was upgraded. And no, bitching about the software upgrade won't get you deleted, thunked, or any other such a thing, lol.

Yes, you put it in Misc. No, you don't request a category in the search forums. I IGNORE category requests when they're not in the right place. Have you searched Misc to see if there are Gorillaz stories there already?

This one..

Probably so, as loli is also an anime specific tag as far as I know. I can correct this, not a problem.

As to the search function, if you read the instructions on the search page, you'd realize that inserting the tags, unless the tag was 4 or more characters, would get you nothing at all. The search engine IGNORES searches where part of the string is less than 4 characters. It will only execute a search on the part of your string which is 4 or more characters. Other than that, have you tried browsing through the F/F subcategories to see if anything struck your fancy? There are 229 stories which are placed in the F/F subcategories.

Here you go!

hehe very likely not

the original topic maker gets points every time you post to the topic, also gets double the points for making the topic in the first place.

To further protect the members who use the forum, and the forum itself, I had to add a question/answer challenge to the registration. This is because the spambots have gotten smarter, and were bypassing recaptcha, and other things already set to keep them off the forum.

Oh I know it. Thing is, this actually caused the site some issues years back, hence the using a personal one. Bugger. No real way around it.

Simple answer is that you can't. The more involved answer is that you simply add to the movies subdomain, and delete the one in originals. They're entirely different tables, so there isn't a way to move them from one table to another, easily.

The stocks associated with a member, rely on posting or points data to valuate, from the member linked to the stock.

In this economy, at this point, I'm thankful I'm still working. Granted, we're in a slow patch. But, I still have a job. So that's something anyway.

LOL shoulda preempted him there I'm thinking.

This would be why I shovel all areas when there's no more than an inch of accumulation....keeps it from becoming a nightmare later

What I need to add- Stocks- format Stock Symbol (3 characters) Stock Name Credit card name or names (will be added with various credit limits) I will be adding items to the store for purchase as well. Gotta get some images for the non usable (display only) type items.

Global Announcements block, which will direct all users to the appropriate links, like site news, staff updates to members, and etc. Facebook Like box for AFF's FB page Emoticons enabled for status bar messages An enhancement to the forum's Spam Protections Service, which automatically matches IP and email to KNOWN spammers, and denies registration. An Admin Only option, giving us extended ability to edit member profiles from within the forum, rather than the ACP.

unbekannte- As you can see, the search function has to be rewritten to accommodate the more advanced engine. The kinds of features you're talking about, would have to be written individually for each subdomain, as each subdomain has its own set of tables. The ONLY part of the search function that works across all the subdomains is the author search, as that is a centralized table for the entire archive. I think you can tell the more features I'm asked to add, the more complicated this task becomes. Let me get it working better in a general sense first, and then I can see about adding other features subdomain by subdomain.

Archive profile You know, all we asked of this person, was that she return AFTER she was 18 years old. That's not much to ask, right? The user has a whole FIVE MONTHS to wait until she can start posting here. 5 months and 3 days, to be precise. But now, because this person opted to not only ignore the emailed responses she got, but to come back and brag about it? This person is never, EVER allowed back.
