If you see just the smallest thing that looks off or needs changing -- post it here.

I can get VERY custom with things.

For example -- I could have a diff. post icon on a forum than on any other one if for some reason it doesn't show up well.

Give me your best shot beeeeyotchhhhh

My angel smilie isn't available as an emoticon in all the forums. :frown: Is there an easy way to add it to the general list that works everywhere? Please????

georgia_tech_swagger

1) Terpy -- I just wanted it to be very noticeable

2) Lucy -- lemme know what forums It's missing from (aside from ACCbbs... where I can already tell it's gone) -- and I'll fix you up.

Lucy

Looks like the ACCbbs is the only set of boards missing the angel smilie. Thanks!!! :D

Question: Is there any way to tell if someone has edited a post?

Yes -- if you see the "post edited" comment if the user checked that option.

I see. I guess what I don't understand is why anyone would choose to show that they edited the post (other than what I did above, because I was just experimenting). Seems to me that most people would want to hide the fact that they went in to edit something. And, I guess that's good for the most part -- but I think that could be used for the wrong reasons.

For instance, if there's some kind of Survivor or NCAAbbs Cup game happening on the board -- and there's a deadline for when things must be posted -- somebody could make a post and then go back and edit it after the fact without anyone knowing.

Also, if someone makes an absurd comment or prediction, they could go back and change it without anyone knowing (or being able to prove that they went in and changed it).

That's why NCAAbbs Cup threads are locked immediately following the deadline.

You also have a personal archive for absurd posts.

Ok, cool. I just tested trying to edit a post of mine on a locked thread & got this message.

Tell us more about this personal archives. I haven't found how to do this and I am sure it will come in handy this fall for absurd predictions or sure fire picks that don't come true. :laugh:

You can archive any PM sent to you and make it into an excel file or other formats in "My Controls"

You can also quote the absurd prediction --- they can't very well edit your post, too -- and it effectively gets them word for word.

Can we send ourselves PMs? I wasn't looking to archive PMs, but rather to archive laughable predictions in posts and bring them back out to haunt people later on. :wave: So I'm thinking if we can PM ourselves, then I could copy the absurdity, send it to myself, archive it & quote it back to the party in question when they are proven quite wrong. Will this idea work?
