The Grand Tour

I love this forum!

Bhryn, maybe you should make a website with your stories or something. That could save you the trouble, and you could just post links.

I wondered how works the "Private message" thing. Could I have an explanatin about this? I already put some people in my "buddy list", but aside from seeing them in my user cp, I don,t know what it is supposed to do.

Well, I'm not a moderator, so I could be off, but:

I believe the private messanging system has been disabled on these boards. Apparently there are some tricky CoC issues with allowing PMs, so it was just easier to diable the system entirely.

Hope this Helps.

EDIT: After looking around a little, I've found out that you can PM a moderator (check out their profiles). Thus only make me more convinced of what I said above.

Only got one serious grumble about these boards.

In a single post you are only allowed, 10,000 characters I believe.

Why on earth is this in enforcement?

Actually, I believe the post count is 50,000 characters, I heard that from someone who heard it from Mel. But I'm not totally sure.

As for enforcement and changing it, us little ISRP folk can't do anything about it. We have no say really in what happens with the boards. My suggestion, if you really want to take it further, is send an email to boards@wizards.com or go to the Meta Board and post something about it there.

Actually, she can't. As stated in the rules of the Once Upon board, no links to stories may be posted for moderation and editing reasons.

Thank you Nugan!

Actually, just to correct Nugan, you cannot PM anyone. Even myself, as a WizO, cannot PM another WizO. I was talking to the Community Coordinator last night and she informed me that the PM feature has been disabled for all users.

As Nugan had said, it has to do with CoC and so forth. Sorry folks.

First of all i have to say an honest MY BAD...
It has come to my attention that i need glasses.....and this is why: i misread this:
You may post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may edit your posts

and understood this:

You may NOT post new threads
You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may NOT edit your posts

And therefore i was terryfied....
I know i know, it was a stupid mistake, but what to expect after only 3 or 4 hours of sleep, about two packs of lucky strike and more stuff i won't write due to CoC issues

...

Again sorry to the Wizos and to everyone else...
I still have one more question though...In the map of the planes there were two threads i was into....Heaven and Hell and dhrita rashtra....anyways, that's beyond the point. What i want to ask is this:
How can they be brought back to the map of the planes, and if they are brought back do they start from scratch or are the last few posts already there? I mean what if someone posted something waiting for a response from the others and they did respond but just exactly before the boards where shut down for a day? How does the first person know what theis response was?

Oh, my bad.

I was looking at a WizO's profile and saw "Click here to PM WizO X" which I hadn't seen in other member profiles, so I assumed it had been activated for Moderator use only.

WizO_Reesa · Jun 19, 2003

I wish that were the case Nugan. I thought it would be neat to be able to PM other WizOs on the boards. But they've been turned off.

Incensius · Jun 19, 2003

Hey...still the annoying moron with a new question this time :

How the hell do i get my avatar back??????

WizO_Bailey · Jun 19, 2003

At the top of the screen there is a button called "User CP", in that there is something called "Edit Optoins". At the bottom of that screen is the avatar option. Click 'Change Avatar' and it will bring up a the list.
