Just out of curiosity…
I have noticed that some days the ‘Active Topics’ list can be a few pages long, and at other times it is quite brief. Putting it down to a slow day, I haven’t thought much about it. Now I am not so sure. This morning only one thread was listed when I checked, but I know that more than that had been posted on as I received email notices. Does anyone know what criteria the program is looking at? It is beginning to take on a magical, or at least arbitrary, aspect in my mind.

24 hours prior to time of checking, as far as I know
As for seeing only one, probably your browser had the cookies stored of the previous checking, when indeed there was only one new topic. Next time try to refresh if it looks funny This, or something else I can't think of

Ahhh...the magic cookies! That would make perfect sense. I only wish I could remember if I had checked it previously, then I would know for certain. But alas, it was too early in the morning for my mind that to accept that particular cookie!
Many thanks Mr. HerenIstarion! Last edited by Hilde Bracegirdle; 02-01-2006 at 11:42 AM. |

A minor point and not of much importance.
When I quote Quote:
EDIT: Well, that's just odd. Usually it decides to become italic. Any explanations? |

Hmmmm . . . let's see . . .

Quote:
It's a different set of instructions/tags for the 2 types of quoting. The first example has the quotes between these two: [Q UOTE] [/QUOTE] (with the 'Q' of course, not followed by a space.) And in the second the quote is being referenced: [Q UOTE=the guy who be short] [/QUOTE] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't want your quote italicised, copy and paste it between the first set of tags above. You can use the 'quote' icon above the 'Reply to Thread' box . . . or just type out the tags yourself. ~*~ Pio

Well, this isn't really a question, but more of a feeble request: Is there any way with 3.0 to have more than 20 PM's per inbox? I'm getting around ten a day, and I'm spending around 15 minutes cleaning my PM box every day. It's starting to get on my nerves, but that's what I get for sending them out so much, I guess. I can make due with 20 as I fear I must, but is there any chance of upping the number?

I've kind of been having a problem here. The site was not working (when it did work, it took forever to load and would periodically fail for most of last night, and is working at a really slow pace now. I was wondering what was going on, as it seems that there were other users on here last night.

The forum and site were down off and on through the night. Because it was working occasionally, I never contacted tech support, so I don't know what the problem was. Once in a while things like this happen, and all we can do is wait for performance to improve. Besides being a little slow, everything looks OK now.

The forum clock is quite weird for me.
For example, the time stamp of this post shows 12:16 PM while the computer clock and my telephone clock tell me it's around 01:08 PM. So the clock is about 50 minutes late. What's the problem? And, am I the only one?

did you have your personal forum clock settings changed? most forums have a option that lets you pick your timezone.
have a look in your cp area under edit options Date & Time Options Quote:
