Hiho...
I was just rereading Call the thunder and realized that the Linklist to the other authors at Joe Gunnarsons author page were messed up. Diane and Tensai were missing.

No really important, but if you're bored or something Rolling Eyes

Never think to have thought, since the thinking of thoughts is thoughtless thinking.

While looking over the hit counter information I shared some of it with the rest of the canon. The suggestion was made to add one or more banners to the forum. The easiest place for me to do that was in the header at the top of the page.

It's there but it may or may not show up depending if there is an ad available for it.

Do not SPOOF your email. A confirmation email is sent to the submitted address you have to confirm your address before it will let you post to the wiki.

IF you have been found to have spoofed your email address, I'm notified that the confirmation email was failed to be delivered.

IF I receive one of these emails I will hunt down the offending user and delete their account.

Warren,

The forum spell-check seems to have vanished.

Is that correct, or has my IE browser just messing me around?

Please keep your email address in the system CURRENT! Any user that lets their email address lapse and doesn't enter their current email address in the system will be subject to removal.

A current email address is REQUIRED of all users to be able to alert you of pending messages in the system for you and to provide you with a way to retrieve a lost password for your account.

Since the issue came up and I knew how to do it, I figured I would share some posting options about these forums

first off. Spoilers there is a command you can use to force text to be hidden and need another click to reveal it. Like so:

Toggle Spoiler

How it's done is

[spoiler]SEE?[/spoiler]

If you're having problems posting text you can use the Preformated tag:

   [pre]
         Text you want RIGHT HERE!
   [/pre]

Preformated text is not parsed by the system and will be left alone.

Many other editing options are in the forum options page which can be accessed here.

Please don't pick the name of one of the characters in the Whateley universe as a user name on the forums.

I've checked every pm I've gotten about "this story or that story is incomplete." I assure you they are all there and all complete.

The Crystal Hall forum uses BBcode for formatting. If you perform a google search you will find quiet a few html to bbcode conversion tools online.

I really need to remember to use my cdrom burner.
As invariblly once a year I have to redo my whole computer.
Fortunately I was able to use a disk recovery tool so I have
my working copies of things. (Story files Smile

)

Things will not be normal on my side for a week.
(Takes that long to get everything back in propper places.)

Needless to say things are crazy here.

With the creation of the Fan Fiction discussion forum, I have started to dig through the forums and move the obvious fan fic discussion topics over to the new forum. Look there if you were expecting to find it someplace else.

If you're going to make a comment on a fan fiction story please make the comment in the topic for the story over in the Crystal Hall Fan Fiction Discussion forum NOT the "Fan Fiction" forum.

The reason for this is to allow the story to be one long uninterrupted series of messages.

By posting your comments in the Fan fiction forum you're preventing that from happening.

Sorry to make this change folks but the spammers are still trying to break into the system to post their junk. I've had to set the system so that registration is now REQUIRED to post or reply to comments posted on any of the forums.

If you haven't already registered please do so now. I promise that your email won't be apsmmed by being collected from this system. All of the email addresses are not hidden from view and ONLY registered users can send you an email using routines built into the system.

Guests may still read any of the areas without registering for access.
