Title: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Unk on September 07, 2012, 07:01:07 pm Is there a reason that it's harder than need be?
Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Howey on September 07, 2012, 07:08:18 pm Hey, Unk! Thanks for joining.
I know it's a little different from JPP, but it's not that hard. On top of the page, you'll find: Show unread posts since last visit. Show new replies to your posts. If you "click" on the top one, "Show unread posts since last visit", it'll show recent unread topics. We also have a very helpful "Help" function in the highlighted blue area above (http://www.politikalculture.com/index.php?action=help) that should be of some help for you. Above all, if you have any questions, feel free to PM either me or "ekg" and we'll be glad to help you as soon as possible. Again...thanks for joining. You'll find that we're small, but enjoy intelligent conversation about politics and culture. No trolls, other than those that show up occasionally from JPP, and above all (I think you'll find this out soon) we don't allow multiple screen names and/or accounts. I hope that helps. And remember, you won't break anything if you just navigate your way around.... :) Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Unk on September 07, 2012, 07:21:20 pm I tried to answer a PM, and no matter what I put in the captcha, it was denied. I tried to update my profile, which you would think they would tell me I couldn't, as opposed to letting me try, and then informing me I had to post first. Etc.

Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Unk on September 07, 2012, 09:09:07 pm I'm really, really hating the captcha. Why does it have to be there.

Why does it have to be there. when are you getting the captcha? posting? pms? loggin? and I've look at the settings and don't see any reason why you're having issues with the PM or updating your profile.. this is odd ??? as to the board being harder....? It's the most generic layout around.. we've kept it like this specifically for it's "generic" and simplicity.. LOL. what browser are you using?

I think the problem is we've been around so long the captcha doesn't bother us. Let me see what I can figure out without letting spammers in.

Let me see what I can figure out without letting spammers in. Maybe I fixt it. I found where we required 5 posts before requiring a captcha, so I changed it to zero. Of course I also deleted a huge LOST thread once too. :'( Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: ekg on September 07, 2012, 09:39:09 pm I think the problem is we've been around so long the captcha doesn't bother us. Let me see what I can figure out without letting spammers in. I've checked and the 'disarm the captcha' is off.. I don't ever remember seeing captcha here.. so it's odd.

I found where we required 5 posts before requiring a captcha, so I changed it to zero. Of course I also deleted a huge LOST thread once too. :'( where'd you find that? because I was in "Disable spam check for posts." and it was already off.. anyway, maybe you fixed it.. :P Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Howey on September 07, 2012, 09:43:10 pm where'd you find that? because I was in "Disable spam check for posts." and it was already off.. anyway, maybe you fixed it.. :P Damned if I remember... ;D Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Howey on September 07, 2012, 09:45:15 pm I do believe I just realized Unk is smarter than all of us.
This place is hard as hell to figure out! :D Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Unk on September 07, 2012, 10:03:09 pm Thank you. I'd say your best bet (if this board allows it) is no PM's unless you have five-ten posts. That should have the same effect on deterrence.

Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Howey on September 07, 2012, 10:09:52 pm Next question - what size is allowed for avatars? At the moment I'm using my nook, so I'd say about 3/4" by 3/4". ;D Hell Unk! I don't know! Just try to upload one! :D Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: Howey on September 07, 2012, 10:11:18 pm This is fast becoming my favorite thread ever. Never has anyone exposed me for being such a tard. :'( ;D

Okay. SO I grabbed your avvie, and opened it with Irfanview. It came up 65x65, so I re-sized one of my old avvies. :) Title: Re: This is a very difficult board to navigate Post by: ekg on September 07, 2012, 10:52:51 pm Next question - what size is allowed for avatars? 65 x 65 but it looks like you figured that out ;D |
