Do you remember anything else about it? Like main pairings, side pairings, that sort of thing? As memory serves, there are a fair few with Legolas being sent on political errands

So, anyone else with any ideas as for this? If you're not sure what I'm looking at with having second and third sets of rankings, what that entails is either having different pip sets for those ranks, or increasing the number of pips up to 15, depending on the level of posting.

Okay, after seeing NUMEROUS posts about this, thought I'd let you know we are looking into how it could possibly be done. There are a number of ways it can be accomplished, but they are TRICKY at best. So, what I'm saying is don't look for such a thing immediately, or even in the near future. In the meantime, you can actually start a topic (in the right forum) for your story, with your review responses. Also, you can use the forum for PMs (for those registered in forum) and private emailing. In any case, one of things we've been looking at, which is WHY it is a long term project, is a way to bridge the two applications. Use the built in functions of the the one to serve the other, yet keeping them pretty much standalone. By doing that, we hope to make it so that those who choose not to join a discussion board don't necessarily have to, as a discussion board isn't necessarily for everyone. Bearing that in mind, there are certain parts of the board that are open to guest posting for a REASON. Most especially the support forums and the bug tracker. I've never seen the need to force someone to create a login for something, especially if they're only using it every once in a great while, such as for support questions or posting a bug report. In any case, what I'm getting at, is that these requested changes you have made are a LONG way off. They're going to require a fair bit of research and experiment on our parts, and I'm sure you'd rather the experimentation did not take everything offline because of a mistake. So, that will be done offsite, where it will not affect either the archive or the forum. There is much more to it than making an edit in a php file, what you've been asking of us. There's a fair bit of database and table manipulation and integration as well. That can get very tricky, and has to be done VERY carefully, so as to not crash either software module.

I don't believe we're using that anymore, to be honest.

No zombie status available, unfortunately.

COMPLETELY agree with ya there.

I WISH we would get more than a sprinkling and actually keep it.

it takes up to two hours to autorevive. It's kind of a random thing, it'll either take one hour, or a bit more, but nor more than two. Depends on what the module decides.

It satisfies my curiosity.

Nope. I have my opinions on it, of course, but choose to keep 'em private.

I've only been on an admin/mod end here for a short time (since Septemberish), but have been READING here for years. So, while I certainly don't have the history that Beth does with AFF, I also would like to express my appreciation of you all as well .

Thanks. What kinds of questions did you have?

Done. And, as I said, you don't have to have a forum membership to belong to the archive. They are separate programs. Aside from that, there are plenty of areas open for guest posting/viewing etc. In the end, it's up to the USER where they want to play in any given site, you know.

hehe, this has to do with php, sql, and relational databasing in general. That kind of coding.... Comparatively, html is EASY

Yep! We do look after each other in the guilds.... Been busy skinning, so no time to fight right now DAMMIT. -13 Death

I think it may also have to do with the weapon that the module picks at random for the other guy to use against you. If they use a more powerful weapon (even when they don't have the stats), the thing gives them the battle.

HUGE improvement. HUGE. Coding by committee SUCKS

This disparity has been ongoing for a number of years. I even remember when the book lists changed a fair bit to this sort of thing, if you can believe it. In any case, I can remember when as a kid in grade school, the books we read had heroes and heroines, but slanted more towards the men. As I got a little older (think about 5th/6th grade) and the ERA movement became so prevalent, the book lists and such changed (for lit classes and whatnot), with the focus becoming more so towards strong women, but nowhere near to the degree it is now. If I asked my mom about it, I'm sure she'd tell me the high school lists were vastly different from when I was in high school, and she was in high school. I noticed that the book lists changed AGAIN when my own children were in school. So, how to fight such a thing? It takes proactive PARENTS who take a genuine interest in what their children are reading. It also takes a parent who encourages a child to have a broad area of reading interests, not focusing on just what the schools say they can and cannot read for class. I was lucky in that respect. My parents never agreed with the published school book lists, and encouraged me to read whatever I enjoyed within reason (age appropriateness applied ). I did the same with own kids (funny how you apply to your own what your parents did with you). But, that's just a small drop in the bucket, so to speak. Regardless of WHEN in time you're talking about; in education, those book lists for allowed reading have always been a bit skewed. Whether to promote an administrator's personal views and beliefs, or whatever. They've certainly never been tailored to an individual CHILD'S needs.

Nia, email me the particulars so we can start searching for you. What will be needed in that email are any email addresses you may have registered with, and your password, so it can be searched out that way. Also include which main archive you publish in (i.e. Books, Original, Harry Potter, etc). That will help narrow things down.

Actually, we're kicking around a few ideas to streamline the whole looking for a fic thing to begin with. Part of which would actually use the forum; and kill it entirely in the archive. (That section is guest post/view enabled btw). Also, in the near future there is going to be some serious restructuring of the ENTIRE archive, to make it easier to navigate in general. However, we ask for patience, there are only THREE of us who actually do any kind of coding. As to people posting "looking/searching for a fic" in the storyboards, I would imagine that those can and SHOULD be deleted.
