Have a question that couldn't be answered in the FAQ? Is there a problem on the forum that you can't figure out? What's up?
How long does it take for your unread posts to disappear of your unread posts list? or be unhighlighted off the boards? I have to read EVERY SINGLE POST and it's driving me mad that I have probably missed a bunch with my absence... It is possible to change how long unread posts are notified for? Am I making sense? Yes I'm weird I know. Ta.
As far as I know, they will remain "unread" until you have read them or clicked the "Mark Forums Read" link. But I'm also not sure how/where you look at your unread topics...
Usually I click on 'New Posts'. Just before I disappeared, I have about 5-7 pages of 'New Posts'. Now I only have 4... Which doesn't make sense. At the moment (to keep my sanity) I'm going through board by board and clicking the threads that are highlighted as unread, but if I scroll just a bit, I can see posts I've never read (either I don't recognise them, or their dates are after I disappeared) that are not highlighted, but I can't be bothered going through and just checking based on dates. I'm already mad enough as it is.
Is it possible that you're seeing threads that are in the "addicts" board? Since you now have over 1000 posts, you'll probably see a few extra topics that you haven't seen before.Quote:

Haven't noticed an addicts board, or checked the catacombs... But no it's just I'll be looking at a topic that is highlighted, and was posted on say, the 17th Dec, and underneath it is a post that is not highlighted that is dated the 2nd, and I wasn't online on the 2nd so I can't have looked at it already...
Is it possible to get custom PF smileys? I'm on another (VB) forum, and they have heaps of custom smileys, everything from 'Welcome to AFT' (Australian Freshwater Turtles) to 'Have you read the CARE GUIDE yet?' and so many turtle smileys. How could we get fun stuff like that?
If you can link me to a site that has smileys, that would be an awesome start. :D I got a few custom ones from deviantart before but I haven't really gone looking for more since then. If you saw some that you think we could use, link me :DQuote:

Just that they're on a hard drive that is not in my possession, at this time.
Whenever you get around to it :)Quote:

Provided that
1) your e-mail account is spelled right in our system
2) it isn't receiving e-mail and dropping em in the spam folder for deletion
your account looks to be set up correctly but admins see more than I can and have greater ability to make changes so thins'll have to wait till one of them logs in to review your account.
my e-mail address seems to be right but the notifications do not even show up in my spam folder
and I do check spam folder
Hello,
I have a question about posting links/images in a post.
I searched the FAQ and I tried following the steps without luck.
If I want to add an album or post a picture/link in my posts (the page gives this error: you are not allowed to post links in your posts or your acount might not have been activated by an admin)
Do I have to contact an admin in order to post pictures?? xD
(I'm sorry if this question was asked before, my first time on a forum)
Really simple answer Lady,you must post a certain amount before links and such work.
It is to cut down on spammers.
You have to have 15 non intro, non game related posts before you can post either images or links. Cuts down spammers and suchQuote:

Is there a certain amount of time I have to wait, or a certain number of posts I have to make??
Go to "Settings" (http://www.paganforum.com/usercp.php) and click the "edit profile picture" on the left menu. The avatar is what shows up next to each post, FYI. :)
Ah! Thanks a ton. :)
I was talking with Daughter of Toothless recently in Skype. She told me that she forgot her password to PF and can't log in. So I sent a pm to Juniper, who told me to send Daughter of Toothless a link of Contact Us so she can write about it.
Later on, DOT told me that she wrote in the Contact Us some days ago, but didn't get an answer.
Should she write again?
Did she try the "Forgot Password" link? Those are generally set up to automagically handle password resets. I don't know if it works here or not..haven't tried it...but it should, as long as her email address is still active.
I have not received any emails from her. Have her send me an mail directly to support@paganforum.com. As I said in my pm, I won't reset someone's password unless I get the request from the account holder them-self, as a security measure. Or she can send me a message on Skype, if that's easier.

Um... Does every user's password expire every few months? I was asked to change my password a moth ago. So I did. Just our of curiosity.
Yes the site requires password changes as a security feature. I think the prompt is for every 6 months.
Okay, thanks :)
Actually I thought something went wrong but now everything is clear.
What are the rules concerning blog posts here in PF? I couldn't find my answer anyway.
In what context?Quote:

General forum rules apply to the blogs as well. It's a family friendly forum and blogs part of the public boards. Anything outside of the PG-13 realm should only be posted in the appropriate private boards or keep off the forum all together.
Thank you :)
Hey are you still having loading issues with the forum? I ran a few maintenance things earlier... wondering if they improved some of the load time.
Less than before. But it keeps happening sometimes. The reply boxes just don't show up.
That might be an issue with addons in your browser. do you know if all of those are up to date or your java is up to date?Quote:

Hello, I read through the facts, I am missing these icons on the posts, the star icon or the triangle icon, the 'blog this post', or I am clueless lol and can't find them,
Before you can give reputation, you must first have a minimum of 15 posts. Once you have reached this requirement, you may then give other users reputation by clicking the "star" icon located at the bottom of the relevant post, to the right of the "blog this post" link and to the left of the "Report Post" icon (shaped like a yield/warning/triangle sign).This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.
eta- ok by hovering over by the 'promote to article' I can see a normally invisible 'report post' icon, but I can't see the others, lol. I only see the two - promote to article and report post
There are two things I think that are going on here...the first is that you are probably using the default theme (Mint), and for some reason the icon show up so faintly as to be invisible, which makes them difficult to find even by scrolling over them! The second problem is one I failed to anticipate when we were writing the FAQ (so I probably need to revise a bit when I get the chance) is that only supporters can post blogs and would have the "blog this post" option. I'm not sure why you still can't see the repuation star thingy, since you have the proper amount of posts, and unfortunately as a staff member I see a slightly different set of options than you. I'll see if I can't figure out what is going on and get it straightened out!Quote:
