Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

[gmaharriet]

Yes, that black "24-hour ad" has been more frequent lately...maybe twice a day. I usually make a mental note of the time, because it causes funny things to happen if you're uploading a screenie or save for a Succession Game. I'll often wait until after the ad displays before doing an upload. Lately, I can't tell.

can one request a temporary ban?

Yes you can. Either make a thread in Site Feedback or PM a mod.

 

[dutchfire]

Have you added the new Civ smilies to the list of post icons, or am I going ?

 

[Mirc]

^ Yes they are added there. I saw them too earlier todaz.

 

[Mathilda]

can one request a temporary ban?

A simple pm request to a mod will get you a temporary ban.
No need to start a thread at site feedback.

 

[Catharsis]

This isn't really a question, but it can be made into a question.

Do you realise that in the gallery (or the BtS gallery at least, I haven't checked the others) the moderator list includes 'Turner_727'?

 

[RegentMan]

Yep. That was his username, then he got it changed to "Turner".

 

[Catharsis]

I do know that (I've been lurking here for quite a while ) but just wanted to point out the outdated moderator list.

 

[Mirc]

^ I've already pointed that out, but it's still there.

 

[RegentMan]

Oh, it seemed like you were inquiring why. My mistake.

 

[ggganz]

What does "nohilite" mean?
Just, for example, we put in any username, and...

No matter what username I use, it still comes up. WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!?!?!?

 

[RegentMan]

I'd guess "No Highlight". But the name looks highlighted. Does it do it when you type in a username partially, such as "Regen"?

 

[ggganz]

Only when I put my mouse on the first result. (You're last! )

 

[Jono]

Just out of curiosity, what's the official line count on my signature?

 

[Thunderfall]

5. But since you are using all size 1, you can have up to 7 lines.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Ok, now this is funny.

But i have to admit it happened on wierd circumstances. I somehow made a triplepost while having connection problems and that was what i got after trying to post in another thread after that triplepost.

 

[Perfection]

Are we still doing that five minute thing?

 

[Red Door]

What is the daily download limit and how did I reach it?

How do threads get ratings and get those little stars next to the their title?

 

[Catharsis]

Well, normally, there's a little link near the top of the post-frame (next to 'Thread Tools' and 'Search this Thread') which says 'Rating' or 'Rate this Thread' (can't remember which). But it seems to have gone.

It's still visible for me in Forum Games, though.
