Has anyone else accidently unsubscribed to a thread because they went to click the 'last page' link and missed and hit 'unsubscribe' instead? How about adding a confirmation to the 'unsubscibe' link? You know, have it ask "Are you sure you want to remove this thread from you subscribed list?" or something along those lines.

Knight,

Are you, or any of the other administrators here deleting posts? Also, are you or any of the other administrators reading private messages? I'm curious because I think one of my posts has vanished, and I don't recall deleting it myself.

I don't have the greatest memory, however, that's why I'm curious.

 

[BillyBob]

They delete my posts all the time......

We prune old threads a few times a year.

Thanks. Are other members able to delete our posts? - Is that a part of the new TOL membership packages?

No.

Only admin's and mods can delete posts. And they will only delete a post if there is a good reason.

Subscribers can delete their OWN posts but not the posts of others.

Thanks, I don't mean to be a pest. Will they tell me if they delete one of my posts?

When we prune old posts we normally don't tell anyone. It's basically part of the maintenance we do around here.

Are college degrees over-rated?

Goode Sir Knight...

It may have evaded your notice, but you misspelled the non-theist choice in the "religious affiliation" section.

The word is "atheist" not "athiest".

"'i' before 'e', except after 'c'; or when used in greek words like "theist"... :chuckle:

Ooops! Good call.

I fixed it but you may need to go back into your user CP and select it again to fix your profile.

Thank you, sir. :thumb:

By some... yes... by others..... no.

What are the parameters for the giving of reputation points? I've tried to give some points to some people more than once but it won't let me because it says I have to give some rep points to others before giving any more to them. Is it set up on a time thing where I have to wait a week in between giving rep point to the same user a second time or to I have to give rep points to 5 other people before it lets me or what?

How come the green squares change color the more you get? Is it just to make it easier to see how many you have?

Capitalizing doesn't do anything I just did it that way to differenciate the two sets of quotes.
Got it?

If I told you..... I would have to kill you.
