Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you post something that could be considered inflammatory, and a moderator has on instant-notification, and then you edit it out because you didn't mean to make it sound that way, and the mod comes in, will they still infract you?

This was already answered but depending on the severity of it, probably.
 
Must be the forums.
 
Is the forum ridiculously slow for anyone else right now?
You're not the only one :-/.

Edit: It took about three minutes just to post this :(.
 
Well, I can say there are few moments where the forums loads up reliability and some just takes three to five minutes to load a page :(. Even Is site down reports that it's down during the period of slowness.
 
That happens if someone posted while you were writing your reply. And when you click to "go to new post" thing for some unknown reason it takes you to your own post instead of the previous one that you didn't see.
 
If you crosspost, then click my account, you have posts that show up unread even though you're the last to post in the thread.
 


The picture code being if you right click on an image and chose the Copy Image Location from the menu items.

Quote this post and look at what I did to see what it looks like.

What you've done here is:

Say you're wanting to paste my avatar as an image. The URL is:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/image.php?u=155943&dateline=1301904332

[img]http://forums.civfanatics.com/image.php?u=155943&dateline=1301904332[/img]

This would give:
