Post technical questions and issues here. Yes, the layout is slightly different!

Which version of IE are you using?

 

It's possible one of the monthly Windows updates might have changed the setting, I guess.

 

If it's IE 8 or 9, then there's a Compatibility View button in the address bar between the arrow that you press to see the site addresses you've recently entered/visited and the refresh button. From experience I know how very easy it is to accidentlaly hit that button.

 

I'm sure I've asked this before, but I'll ask again just in case? Is there any chance of making it so that when you click on the title of a PM convo from the drop down list (mouse hovering over 'Inbox') you're taken to the last unread message rather than the first page?

 

It should already do that when you click a conversation with new messages.

 

****. Sorry. That should've read "last read message". And I guess the answer is no.

 

If there's a way to change that it's up in the guts somewhere, sadly, I don't even recall seeing it at the lower level coding interface.

Which is IMO really stupid, considering we can make conversation prefixes for some unfathomable reason, but them's the sad breaks.

 

What is the star wars equivalent of a katana but isn't a lightsaber? I feel like I remember hearing about swords that were made of some sort of steel within the Star Wars Universe but I can't remember what they were called.

 

Vibroblade. Incidentally, Comms is not the place for such questions - you should check around SWC and EUC.

 

Sorry wasn't really sure where to stick this sort of question.

 

Is there a social thread within the Fan-fiction category? Because I would like to ask questions before I start my fan-fiction.

 

You could try posting a thread in the Fan Fiction & Writing Resource forum - I'm sure the regulars would be happy to help you there.

 

This thread might fit your needs. It's for writing questions and discussions. If not you could ask one of the forum mods where to put your post.

 

Has anyone brought up the problem with the ignore feature? If you have a user ignored, it's great that you can't see their posts - but you also can't see any thread made by them. Which is an issue if it's a generic main thread. But you can still see when they like posts and when they've posted...it's a little backwards. Is there a way to work around that somehow?

 

I don't use the feature so I'm not aware of the issue. I don't think I've seen it mentioned here.

 

Off the top of my head, I don't think there's a workaround. You're basically telling the system "I'd like to pretend every post this person made was deleted," and without an OP to refer back to it's impossible for the board to display the replies. Similarly, it can't hide displays for likes because those are tied to the liked post, rather than the liking user. As for the "when they've posted" I'm not sure what you're referring to - do you mean they show up as the most recent reply on threads they aren't the OP of?

Now, you'd think that more nuanced ignore controls would make for a popular add-on... but no (Although disturbingly there's an add-on that allows admins to force users to ignore any other user). So short of potentially board-breaking tinkering I'm not sure there's anything that can be done.

 

Guys I can change.

 

I have two questions to ask one is there a fan club for rebel pilots on here?

And is there in the EU the concept of time travel of Star Wars?

 

Not Rebel Pilots in general that I know of. EUC does have the X-Wing Series Fanclub though, which is mostly about the pilots.

And that's debatable. The only real example that comes to mind is in the Jaden Korr Duology; Crosscurrent and Riptide. Though that would be a question to ask in the EUC I would imagine.

 

Just a note that we're getting some search errors in the Server Log and I've seen error messages in trying to look at the recent posts in user profiles. I've emailed Grimby and Grahame but they won't be online for awhile yet. So if you get errors in searching we are aware of it.

 

I don't understand the ignore feature and I don't use it. If someone annoys me enough, I just taunt them until they go away.


Seriously, is anyone around here that bad?

 

I use it on those who do off board harassment/sexual harassment/etc. Use your imagination.

 

I imagine our precious banners of another age, another time, when they had meaning. Giving us all a reflection of what it is we care about together. Now forever lost, swept beneath the pillars of time, space, and history. They will be missed, but not forgotten, for in our hearts their memory remains etched until the end of time.
