Frequently Asked QuestionsQuestions About the ForumQuestions About the Forum Question
AnswerI am receiving notifications of replies to some subjects. How can I remove the notifications? When you post on this message board (and many others, for that matter), there's a box you can tick that lets you "Receive email notification of new replies?" To avoid receiving email notifications of new replies, simply do not tick the box which says "Receive email notification of new replies?" The default setting is "receive no notification". Is there any way to mark an entire topic on the forum as read, without going through every page? I do not think you can actually mark a topic on these forums as being read. However, when you leave and then revisit the forums—assuming you don't erase your cookies in-between doing so, that is—all posts that were made before you left the forums will be marked "as read" (a closed, grey envelope icon is displayed next to them) and any new posts/topics made will be highlighted by an icon that looks like an opened yellow envelope bursting with paper. Whenever I want to post something in the forums, I keep getting a syntax error note. Why? Does your username have an apostrophe in it? I mean, something like "Kevin Do'Urden"? If so, the forums will have a problem with the apostrophe, with error messages being generated (something like: "You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near..."). Sorry about that. To get around this problem, please reregister choosing a different name, one without an apostrophe in it. What do the little stars under our username mean? Essentially, they don't mean anything. In the days of member rankings and post counts, you would get a new star for each ranking that you "progressed" to. Those rankings were, of course, tied to post counts. Since we did away with the post counts and member rankings, everyone has the stars of a senior member and the generic ranking of "site member". The stars also make it easier to see who is site staff "at a glance". You can only have one account per email address. You can either start another account with a new/different email addy or you can email Rivka at rivka@councilofelrond.com and ask her to delete your account here so you can start a new one with a useable name. She tends to be busy though so it might be quicker to get a new email yourself to start the new account. (Just remember no apostrophe in your new account name.) Structured Query Language. It's the most popular computer language used to create, modify, retrieve and manipulate data from relational database management systems. I'm guessing that you got an error message similar to "You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near...". What is happening is that the apostrophe in your name is causing a program error that won't let you post. To get around that, you will need to reregister under a new name -- without the apostrophe. Who are all the members who have once been mods/staff members on Le? The first mod/sub-admin was smith. Later he was assisted for a time by GoldSeven. Since smith stepped down we've had several additions to staff including mod/sub-admin: Eladriewen, Suzanne (current), and grumpie1 (current), as well as moderators: AllOfUs, Jera, Reddimund (current), DireWrath (current), StrayDog (current), charlemagne-monet (current), Danayala, DragonEyeZ, Laurelena (current), Leuttra (current), Niere (current), and SilverWolf (current). We've also had Encyclopedia Admin/ moderators: DMC, rumblebelly, and astarael42 (current). Hope that answers your question. |  |
