Ichigo's Forums Helpdesk

[Gand]

There have been a lot of "tech help" threads floating around, and I get quite a few PMs asking about simple requests, so I'm starting a tech "helpdesk" thread. Here's how it works:

Let's say you don't know how something works on the forums. First read the FAQ and the on-line IPB help. If your question is not answered there, read through this thread to make sure noone has answered your question before.

If your question still hasn't been answered, post it here. If you know the answer to someone's question, quote it and provide the answer. If noone answers your question, you may bump it by quoting only once. If it still is not answered, that means that nobody knows the answer.

To keep this thread clean, please keep this thread to Q/A only; discussion, suggestions and other feedback have their own threads, and extraneous posts will be deleted. Thanks, and enjoy your stay at the Helpdesk!

speaking of which, why not start a tech help forum, for help with technology and such?

What are "avs"?

I agree with Sinbios that there should be such a forum.

[Wraith]

I think Eternal means avatars.

Just send them to Gand and he'll put them up.

Thanks Mr. Rayth!

Waaah, what's going on with the underline tags?

http://forums.ichigos.com/index.php?showto...indpost&p=89831

Spiky's been having the same problem doing missions in the Metropolis.

<you>test</you>

And when I just posted that, it replaced the underline tags I typed with this:

<you>test</you>

and it didn&#39;t come up underlined.

And then on second edit it&#39;s actually showing those <you> tags in the post now, when I first posted it just said "test" with no underline.

Oddness&#33;

Another test as Spiky says it&#39;s fixed itself...

Ahh, so it has&#33; So what was that, then?

Edit: Problem solved - Angelic said someone was fiddling with the word filters

[Gand]

I was trying to get rid of some of the "AOL speek" by filtering u to you... it was SUPPOSED to only match " u " (with spaces around it) but I guess not X_X

When/how do i change from a "new member" to a member/above?

[Sondagger]

Once you get to so many posts (that does not include spamming) you become a member

[Derek]

Oh i see, and how many is that? Do you know the exact number, and where i can check how many messages i&#39;ve posted before?

[random_tangent]

You can&#39;t any more. It got taken down as everyone was discussing it and spamming just so they had more posts than other people (I think...correct if I&#39;, congused people&#33

random_tangent is right, you can&#39;t check. The ability to check other&#39;s postcount was disabled from the beginning, and after a while we disabled the ability to see your own postcount because people were posting their counts.

And don&#39;t worry about it, the limit is an arbitrary number that&#39;s not too high, so you&#39;ll get there eventually just by being part of the forums. The only thing Members get over New Members is one extra forum, so it&#39;s not like your account is going to be deleted or anything like that.
