OK. Let me see if I can remember most of the things taht Chris and I have done recently. If you ignore someone, it now will not let them send you private mail. The your quicknote has been sent page has been eliminated. Community leaders and admins are now listed separately on the top of the site. Several security improvements to combat malicious behavior. If you are invisible, it now tells you how to become visible again. That should be most of what you'd notice. Thanks for your suggestions and comments, as always.

Yay for a more secure and less anoyingly page skippy zone. ROck on london, rock over chicago. I think.

What about when you post and then you send a quicknote it says "The message wasn't posted because it was blank?" Just experienced that again.

That isn't so much of a problem compared to the rest of the stuff, just an annoyance. Glad you made some improvements guys. I'm all for freedom of speech and everything, but what's been going the last few days was just crossing the line.

Finally the boards got cleaned up. I was a little worried this morning when I saw like 7 pages of nothin but trash on the boards. Good work admin/CLs.

See? now the people who've been griping that they don't do anything actually do something. That was a little strange.

Thanks! *smiles* I wasn't meaning to complain in that other topic, as I would have thought of a solution if I knew how to do computer stuff, and I was ignoring the person the best I could. But Thank y'all for getting rid of that weirdo, and at least now things will be nice again. *smiles*

Ah one more. If you change your Email address, you'll have to verify it before it takes effect.

Oh, it was just this person coming on here and posting a huge number of posts that were meant to insult us. Thankfully, hardly anyone even read that person's stuff, and that person would post like every few seconds. But it's all over now, as the admin and leaders have taken care of it. *smiles*

Yay for this!!! Thanks a lot Admin and Chris and everyone else. I'm really liking these new features especially the PM one ...

does this mean that the people whose quicknotes you have on ignore can't send you private mail? I wasn't sure. and also, does it also mean if you don't have quicknotes on at all, does that mean no one can pm you?

I think it's yes to your first question WW and i think its' no to the second one. Not sure.
I'll ask Admin to have a look at this.

Post 14 by admin (I just keep on posting!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 23:39:42

you've got it. You can have Quicknotes off and still get pm's.

Post 15 by Caitlin (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Tuesday, 08-Feb-2005 23:45:20

That's what I thoguht. It just didn't seem riht that if someone had QN's off then PM's woudl be disabled too. Thanks for clearing that up Admin. Again, i really do liek this feature.

hmm, become visible again...? invisible? does this mean you can actually "hide" against others or something? lol

Post 17 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Thursday, 10-Feb-2005 22:13:11

sort of, lou, when premium members are in invisible mode, it will say, 1 invisible, or 2, depending on how many are invisible. It tells you how many are invisible, but not their user names.

I'm premium but have never trid the invisible thing. Why would I wanna be invisible? I love talking to you all lol!

Post 19 by louiano (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 14:59:34

hmm, hold up, I saw a bug. I whento know who was online and there are curently I think no invisible users at this time. So, it said something like there are 13 users online, including invisible_.... when it should not tsy the invisible thing.

Post 20 by admin (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 17:57:15

under the Who's Online? Thanks, will fix it.

Post 21 by wonderwoman (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 20:30:52

I was just checking, and it didn't give any names of who were invisible, it just said one invisible. The whole invisible thing doesn't make sense to me, I mean, if there's no one you want to talk to on quicknotes, you can have all of them turned off. I thought it might be a good thing for the admins and cls to be able to do it, that way, the mischief makers wouldn't be able to tell when they're online, and so they couldn't just stir up trouble when there weren't any online, and duck out as soon as they came on.

I thin kthe whoel point is so that people don't know you're online, or on the zone, so they won't try and contact you. Dunno...

Post 23 by admin (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 21:31:08

WW, actually that was half of the reason, and since it was put in, figured we'd extend it to premiums in case anyone wanted it. A few play jsut the games and like it.

Post 24 by louiano (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 21:52:19

lol yup, in the whose online section

Post 25 by Caitlin (I've now got the silver prolific poster award! wahoo!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 21:53:10

Wait so what exactly's wrong with the who's online section? I'm confused?

Post 26 by admin (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 12-Feb-2005 22:37:07

if there's noone invisible, it just says invisible. Fixed and will go live by tomorrow with some other little things.
