History, Politics And Current Affairs

Thanks! Seems like it’s working.

In the TBOVerse stories could you stickie Belushi's post with links to all of the TBOverse short stories?

Could you also delete the following two threads as they are duplicate stories that accidentally got posted twice?

When you create the subforums (Detective Stories and Long Stories) for TBOverse stories could you also create a stickied post where we will post links to all of the stories?

Ok. I deleted the two duplicate stories. (Sorry, didn't realize that was possible till now.) Could the admin create the 2 subforums so I can add the remaining stories?

Yep I’ll get onto it

This is now done, please can you check them out to see if posting etc works in them? Ta.

The subforums work great. Could you please sticky the following posts in each of the subforums? (It is a linked list to each story.)

One for the Mods!

Who are the mods? Give me some names and I will ping them.

I've managed to sticky the first two, but I can't for the life of me now find the option that allowed me to do it for the last one!

EDIT: Done!

Can we get the spoiler feature made more like the classic black marker redacting?

I’ll have a look and see.

Should we move some of the forums back behind a login wall? I just clicked on "Who is online" and saw five members there and three crawler bots.

I’ll have a look and see.

It’s also causing problems in posts with multiple spoilers, or quoting spoilers.

Can we get the ability to delete our posts (if it hasn’t already been done)?

There should be feature in phpbb settings that the admins here can turn on for that I believe. I've seen the "X" button in other phpbb boards.

EDIT: The X currently stays up for a few minutes (I just noticed) but after that its gone....so not sure if that time duration can be increased or made permanent in a setting somewhere

For time being I suppose you could use the edit feature and have post edited to "deleted" etc for older posts where the X expired.

I think you can delete it until someone either posts after you, or someone else looks at it.

Not sure about either of those.

It seems to be the former…

One can edit or delete a post until the next post in that thread goes up. Beyond that (for this installation of phpBB) it’s a Mod function to edit or delete.

You can edit your own posts, irregardless of whether or not someone else has replied.

Would there be any interest in enabling post reactions using smilies (and can that be enabled on this type of forum)? It can be a nice way to laugh at people's jokes or thank them for useful information without cluttering a thread with too many quote replies.
