Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

[Abaddon]

Sorry Cutlass, I could have sworn there was a third person... I don't think you ever used it to post though did you?

 

[Cutlass]

Not more than once or twice. I don't recall.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

I think I recall that if one wants to start a new thread series, they need to PM a moderator. Does that apply to the Arts & Entertainment forum too, the entire forum, or just Off Topic?

 

[Birdjaguar]

I suggest you ask.

 

[NickyJ]

Question: What is the character limit for a poll option?

 

[NickyJ]

Is it just my imagination, or were the YouTube and spoiler options added to signatures just recently?

 

[Birdjaguar]

Yes they were, but recently is relative.

 

[LucyDuke]

Why?

 

[hoplitejoe]

Well, with the YouTube ones it means a lot more people are aware of them and with the spoilers they are used enough to warrant a button rather than typing it or going to advance options.

 

[ainwood]

No, they were added to the quickreply box. They are NOT added to signatures.

 

[NickyJ]

Not allowed, you mean? Because I disagree if you mean not there period, because I did a quick test and actually put a video in my signature and saved the changes, just to test. And sure enough, it was there.

 

[classical_hero]

Well it is not in video format, but as a link, so you are not using the tags for youtube, but rather the url tags.

 

[The_J]

The vb software doesn't allow that you forbid custom tags in signatures, and the youtube tag is a custom one.
That doesn't mean it's allowed. Rather the opposite.
Edit: You better get rid of it now .

 

[NickyJ]

I've got a video in my sig.

Edit: Gone.

 

[classical_hero]

Well I never once saw a video in you signature, just a link.

 

[NickyJ]

You can preview a video in your own sig, just to be able to see it.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

If someone rulebreaks over several posts in a single thread, do mods infract each one separately or combine it into one big infraction?

 

[Camikaze]

Usually combine it into one infraction, but not always.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Yes I was assuming for similar infractions such as trolling through several posts not breaking 1 rule in one and a complete different rule another.

 

[classical_hero]

I wish there was an ignore thread option. It would be so good to be able to do that and ignore threads you don't want to see.
