Re: Where's the For Sale + Ebay list gone?

I guess Polly has stood down as mod so we could be mod-less and admin-less, unless you guys know something I don't? It's not worth the grief guys, can we move on... please?

Rog

Says Who????

I haven't stepped down or handed the reins over to anybody else, nor have I kicked the bucket either!

Reading through this thread I have to say that there are certain aspects which I agree and disagree with (and I'm not saying what's what, so there!) I did exactly the same as you did Roger, noticed something was missing when I wasn't logged in so I did the most logical thing and logged in!

Regarding the people who join the forums just to sell their unwanted guitars in the hope of making a fast buck by saving on eBay fees, really gets my back up. You may recall one such incident a while ago where I had politely informed a particular member, who had joined solely for that purpose, and who blatantly flouted the forum rules by refusing to conduct any private sales through the Private Messaging service. Instead of complying with the rules of the forum he hurled a barrage of insults at me for removing his post. Needless to say this member was removed from the forums and in my opinion, it was good riddance to bad rubbish! We can certainly do without that sort of member!

On a completely different note:
Does anyone happen to know why everything on here has reverted to HTML, or is it just my computer? Whatever it is, it's bloody annoying especially when I try to put smilies in because they all go to the the end of what I have written!

I guess it's just you Pol, m'luv!
Check under your Profile / Preferences for the "Always allow BBCode :" setting. It should be checked "Yes".

Hi Polly,

I had a problem with the HTML thing on my computer back in May, I asked members on the forum about it HERE but no one else seemed to be suffering with the same problem.

I don't think I did anything to fix it myself but it had corrected itself a month later with no further problems. I still have no idea how or why it happened, anyone out there got an idea.

(BTW at the top of the page, under the header is the menu with options for Home, FAQ, Search... etc. Is it just me or is this line now offset to the left margin instead of being centred? Just thought I'd ask.)

Dan, check my response to Polly above and see if the BBCode setting has anything to do with it.
Yes that command line menu has been left justified.
If all else fails...blame Corsair!

Hi Barry,

I checked my BBCode preference and it is ticked "Yes", but I never changed any of my settings before or after the trouble I had back in May.

I don't know if Polly is having the exact same problem that was bugging me, all the text in my posts turned to HTML code in the editing window after I hit the "Preview" button. I haven't seen any code when I type up a post for months now, but if I add smilies to a post it still goes to the end of the last line just as Polly mentions? I had just put this down to me using Google Chrome as my browser but now I'm not so sure.

I shall point blame at Bill Gates door, Vista sucks!

If I'm understanding your problem correctly it may have something to do with the "Switch Editor Mode" command. Try punching the button on the far right of the command line in the editor to toggle code modes. (If the button is showing as "red" it's set wrong)

I found this little post in the PHPBB forum that seems to point to a bug in the software which upset the setting when using coloured text for some reason: LINK

I swear I haven't changed anything...... yet!! And yep; Polly is still the forums Dobermann - she's just been lurking with intent lately!! I am slowly - very slowly!! - getting to grips with this whole admin thing - thanks Neil!! - and I'm wondering what changes, if any, people may like to see in here that don't require too much pratting about with stuff that I'm still clueless about? I do have a guru that I can tap for info and Neil is still about too, so lets hear it folks; can we make this different but keep it the same... if you know what I mean?!

Bear in mind, though, that suggestions are just that....

Dan; yes, do!! Blame Gates for everything that's wrong with the world.. I do!! (All praise Steve Jobs!!)
