Are you having a problem with the board? This includes, but is not limited to: unable to log in, trouble accessing or editing your profile, problems posting, etc.

Post your concerns here and a Moderator or Administrator will do their best to take care of it in a timely fashion.

Or, if you prefer, you can reach the administrative staff at alchemyhl@yahoo.com.

I don't have any concerns, instead I have a suggestion: can you add the spoiler tag?

It will be EXTREMELY useful during the weeks preceding and following DH and even with the movie sometimes being spoiled too much is not a good thing (at least for me XD)

ETA: I *do* have a problem now. I received an email alert that I have a new PM...but no PMs are showing in my Inbox...

ETA 2: ok, now I can see it. It seems that the forum sends the email alert some minutes before displaying the actual PM...

It's a good suggestion.

I'm looking into spoiler tags now, as this forum default doesn't seem to have them. I'll talk to the others.

If we can't add spoiler tags, though, we will definitely relegate DH spoilers to "spoiler threads" for a certain amount of time.

What's this Karma thing under everyone's names?

Karma is exactly what it sounds like.

It's a "rep" (reputation) system. That is, the higher your total karma, the more "reputable" of a member you supposedly are. Members can give other users either a positive or negative karma point by clicking the "+" or the "-" next to "karma." (That is, if you think someone made a great post/point, you can give them a positive karma point. If you think they've made a bad post, you can give them a negative one.)

Total karma (or "simple" karma) is the total of all your negative and positive karma points.


For this board, it probably won't make much of a difference. On larger boards, though, it can be an effective means of knowing how people have responded to that person's posts in the past (i.e., whether or not you should even bother listening to the person, in many cases).

Does that answer the question sufficiently?

Yep/ I probably won't remember to use it though.

I think they were doing maintenance or something. Hopefully, this won't happen again in the future. We are trying to keep an eye out for stuff and alerts from the host site.

Word! Spoiler tags will be very valuable in July. From the posts I have read, Loony Lions does not seem to impose the one-liner rule. Am I right?

Welcome Rhemus! I hope you like this forum.

No, there isn't a one-liner rule here. Sometimes it's too silly to enforce... and if you just want to share a laugh or something, do so.

I think something might be put in place if it were to get bad. But, I think we all have plenty to say that it shouldn't become an issue.

I just hate it when people repeat themselves to save the one-line rule. I'd rather have clear, concise posts then repetitious ones.

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but I've been having a little bit of problem posting. I have to hit submit six or seven times before it finally goes through, and I keep getting the message: Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form.

I know it's a PHP error, but I'm not sure if it's from my end, or the site's.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's the site. Is anyone else having the same problem?

The past few days I've been having some issues logging in - I'll have to submit my name and password at twice, often even three times before it'll finally log me in. (It doesn't say anything like 'invalid/username password'; it simply takes me back to the main page of the board without logging me in whenever I submit, even if I refresh the browser.) Anyone else been having this problem?

Well, I had very much this same problem this morning, only once I finally managed to log in, I'd messed up a post and every time I tried to edit it, it would tell me there was no such post in existence, then proceed to duplicate it -- very strange. At one point I'd had the same message repeat itself five times over, though luckily they're no longer there and the problem seems to have sorted itself out...

The faeries were having a bit of fun with us, I think

every time I tried to edit it, it would tell me there was no such post in existence

Same here - that's happened to me several times now too.
