Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

[Macha]

It is every thread. could it have anything to do with me using Firefox instead of internet explorer

 

[BCLG100]

i dont think so i use firefox and have no issues.

 

[Sophie 378]

Why do some posts appear as if the right-hand indent mark is in the middle of the page, rather than the text wrapping across the whole width of the page? And why does it sometimes happen some-and-some in the same post (like this)? Is it just that they've pressed Enter a lot, for some reason?

 

[BCLG100]

i dont see whats wrong with that sophie

 

[Ansar]

Sophie: Yes, they like to press enter to keep their post neat.

 

[JonnyB]

Some of us like to put spaces between paragraphs.

It makes things easier to read.

More than likely, they typed the post in some other word processor and than copy/pasted it to the post. The format stayed the same as the word processor they typed it in.

 

[Snerk]

Question, is it at all possible to change ones User name?
If so, how?

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

You would need to PM Thunderfall and ask him to change your name. It may not be done swiftly, nor is it guaranteed to happen at all.

 

[Ansar]

For someone who hasnt been here long, you'll probably get the name change.

I have gotten 4 (four!) so it'll probably be easily done for you.
It may take some days though for Thunderfall to notice your PM though.

[Heretic_Cata]

Was the sever down for 20 minutes ? I couldn't access the site/forum. All other sites worked perfectly.

I'd guess about 2 hours.

 

[Abaddon]

[Moss]

TF wouldn't let me change my name when I asked...

[bob bobato]

Would you be allowed to Have a thread title;"SEX!!!" and then start the thread with;"Now that ive got your attention..."

Also, why do you have to ask permission for "Ask a __"threads?
