Yes. Neither myself nor Pooka is seeing the "checkboxes" under User CP / Attachments /

Wow, I didn't know you could do that! I've just been putting them on my own host. Hm.

Space is actually the cheapest resource we have! Don't delete just to save space.

Well, I can't anyway, so no prob :)

I don't contribute financially like I would like to, so I was trying to do what I could.

So being Mrs February in the Cellar calendar didn't appeal to you?

:lol:

Technically I wasn't asked. March is my birthmonth though...;)

I am awful, I just stick pictures on, I don't host them anywhere. I tried it, but I had difficulties with some of the hosting sites.

I've got my own domain for my business, lots of room there, so that's where I stash those files.

yeah...i can't delete ANY of mine.

BWAHAHA! We're saving it all for posterity, Jim. That way, your kids will know all about you.

I think the checkboxes are only for pictures in posts which are still "editable" for text as well. I think the general edit window is 24 hours.

You'd think; but there has always been a "loophole" wherein you could delete attachments from the User CP after the Edit window had closed.

hahaha, just logged in to say what flint just posted.

quit stalking me, sweetcheeks

are you nuts?

stop reading my mind then longdong !!

If you delete the pictures, or even host them on another domain, when going back and reading old posts they don't make sense with little red x's. :(

for proof of that, look at the first page of the NSFW thread. Where a picture of Bruce's ginormous something or other should be there is only a little red X.

Maybe the picture is more accurate than you think.

I've only been here forever, and I just noticed there is a "beest" and a "beestie." Wait a minute...which one is married to monster? Are they related? I'm confused. Halp!

Beest is married to monster.

Thanks. :)

Who is up to funny business? :eyebrow:

Oh, and they have PMs turned off. Sooooo clever.

Keep trying, you'll never be me...there just is no other.

lol...paranoid much?

Should I delete cookies on this site? If so, how often and what will be the result?

I don't think I ever have. Just wondering.

Deleting Cellar cookies will cause it to forget where you are in the forums. Cookies aren't harmful in general and deleting them is probably a waste of time.

Cookies in moderation aren't harmful. Tony, why are you trying to mislead our young people? Everyone knows cookies are a "sometimes" food.

Thanks UT.
Obviously I'm not computer savvy. Had a crash not long ago and I'm a little skittish.

..heads to cookie jar. Moderately...

*pats capnhowdy on the head*

MMmmmmm...cookies....milk....I like where you're heading Bri!

Do you Aussie's have Pecan Sandies? I loves me some of them!

Not that I know of. I know they're not available up here. If they were, they sound like something i might enjoy...in which case I'd know about them. lol

We do have tim tams though...although I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about how fabulous they are.

Not the tim tams again. Damn, I had almost forgotten how much I wish I could have some.

Well you can have some if you want to send me your address. I'm afraid I lost yours when I cleaned up. :)

Is Firefox a better browser than IE (espescially on this site)? If you think so, what are its advantages. I'm thinking about downloading it but would appreciate some input before I do all that.
I've noticed that some sites recommend Firefox. You guys have never steered me wrong.

Firefox is an excellent browser, and it's what I recommend. It's easy to test drive, if you just want to download it and take it for a spin. Firefox has been faster than IE at security enhancements and new features, and with add-ons you can often improve what you need to do and improve your browsing experience.

This site should work similarly in all modern browsers. so no need to switch just for here.

I haven't used IE since some people here recommended Firefox about 3-4 years ago. Its been nothing short of great since then.

Banned User Symbolism
 

UT, in some forums the administration uses their position titles as user titles and color codes them for emphasis (e.g. Administrator, Moderator).

Could we, for banned users, distinguish between those who voluntary terminated their participation and those who were involuntarily terminated? The two rationales for banning are very different. If you have the ability, please consider putting the word "Banned" in a color other than black for those who requested that status.

Nice idea. Or maybe a different phrase ... "on gardening leave" or "having a nice cup of tea and a lie down".

Thanks for the input. Most people have leaned toward firefox since I've been checking. I will give it a whirl this eve.

It's a good idea NB, but right now all users to into the same banned box no matter what, so I'm not sure there's a way. If there was, I'd add text to it too: "banned by request" or some such.

Oh! There was a way, and it's actually kind of easy.

Although once in a while all banned users are purged, so their status changes to just gone.

Where's that awesome gap picture of Jinx's arse? I tried their vacation threads and Labrat's ass thread ...don't tell me they removed it? Jinx, Jim, have pity on a poor calendar girl... you left chat last night just as I came back to ask you.....

cheers.

When I'm at home, to get to the cellar, I just type "cellar" in the google toolbar, and then come here from the search results.

Why does Google warn me this morning that the Cellar is evil? I've never seen this before.

And now it's back to normal. Must have been a Google glitch.

yup:

WARNING!!!! Clicking on any link to the cellar may not harm your computer, but will cause large blocks of time to disappear from your life without trace or explanation.

Not sure how valid the analogy is, but that is a very funny read - well worth the 5 minutes.

Hey UT...or someone...how many posts have to be approved before a new member can post freely, without approval?

1, but automation takes a little time afterwards for it to happen.

Has something changed? It used to be when I hit "new posts" I would get a list that started with unviewed new posts, then a line, then the list would continue on to posts that hadn't been updated since my last log-in.

Now I get new posts that I haven't viewed...but to see the rest of it I have to click "here" to get to the list.

Is this something in my settings or has it changed? Just wondering.

Strange. maybe the number of "new posts" exceeds the number of entries you allow per page? I'm really only guessing here. :)

No, because it varies. Sometimes there is nothing there, and I have to "click" next to get the chronological list.

Also, everything is set to forum default in that arena.

Must be a conspiracy. ;)

Oh hush...

I just thought someone else would have seen this, or encountered it.

brat...

:p Perhaps UT can explain it.
