  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. The stocks associated with a member, rely on posting or points data to valuate, from the member linked to the stock.
  6. 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.
  7. LOL shoulda preempted him there I'm thinking.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. To-do for today...housework, move more stories, update the spreadsheet

  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Gotta get my head out of code mode and in graphics mode...way behind there AGAIN. AAAAAHHHH

  16. Hi there, When you post as a guest and I have no way to verify you are the person you're wanting to delete, I do need you to email me. This is for security purposes, and to ensure that the person who is requesting the deletion actually owns the account in question.
  17. Okay, confuzzled a bit here. Why would someone get upset at you writing (by implication) about a pair growing old together? Is that not a happy ending?
  18. So here it is, almost 2 pm, and I've already shoveled 3 times. LOL. And the worst is yet to come...

      We wound up with a little more than 3 inches, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

      Well girls, this beast is followed by a large temp drop, so get ready for that too.

      The worst! Is yet! To come!

  19. FYI, I've actually timed the "downtime", which is an evil necessity. It's the daily back up routines you know. It starts at 4:15am EST (it's a cron, so I know the exact start time) and ends between 4:30 am and sometimes 4:40. That depends entirely on how much the database itself has been active, as far as how long it actually takes. It AVERAGES 15 minutes. On weekends, it takes on average 25 minutes. Weekends are busier, so there is more data to backup.
  20. Be as truthful with him about your reasons for not wanting him to go, as you have been here. Particularly in light of the past seduction effort. Make sure you mention that too. Make a POINT of telling him that the lack of trust lies with the ex gf and her past actions, including RECENT past actions.
  21. Generally, when an author pulls a story like that, but leaves everything else, they're reworking it for later republication. Without asking her directly, though I can't say that that is what happened, but observation over the years says that's the most likely thing which happened to that story by Wheezambu you're asking about.
  22. If you're talking about uploading to the archive, if the file is bigger than 50k, it will not upload. If it is in any other format than .jpg or .gif, it will not upload. It's also possible you uploaded it, and simply can't FIND it. Some reasons for that, and the BIGGEST one, would be that when I go through and routinely delete the uploads where the file name exceeds the 15 character limit. I don't look at the avatars, I simply delete them by character count. Those very, VERY long file names make it difficult to find anything, so are always deleted.
  23. So, my local forecast for tomorrow is 4 to 8 inches of snow by late afternoon, and I'm in the 7 to 8 inch snow band, followed by drifting on Friday. Oh yay. Looks like I'll be snowbound...

      Ick. Do you at least have a fireplace and enough cocoa mix? (Maybe some "extra flavoring" as well?)

      Still, I hope the forecasters are more wrong than usual and you have sunshine.

      Nah, they're not wrong this time. Frankly, we've been LUCKY the last 3 systems, so we were due.

  24. I was actually waiting for this. So, I will simply re-ban the ONE IP I unblocked. That will hopefully kill this.
