Gobalopper Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Yep commas should work. But if people start complaining that lowzeewee is spamming them he will be banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 well......I normally send out around 2 IMs to all members of my fanfic thread each day,containing messages like 'AK47 has invaded territory E' or 'Updates on BFTU on the battle u just fought'.Is that spam?But I normally IM pple in the 'alliance' they are in,all at one go.But dunenewt hasnt logged on for a few days and possibly received tonnes of my IMs at one go.

Gobalopper Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Spam is when you are sending lots of pointless messages to people who don't want to read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 oh ok. ;)So IMs about RPG is ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I see what lowzeewee means, I may also have to IM people en masse with Dune Jihad (when I find time again to do it) so it is simplier. Always hate looking for peoples IM names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Sure as long as they don't mind.But remember the IM system is not meant to replace email. If you need to contact a lot of people it is best to use email or something like ICQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 my point on the address book as that when i wanna IM some pple,i need to find their usernames but not their nicknames,like pple trying to IM me,might use my current nickname and get their msg deleted when the error has occured screen appears if they forget to copy the msg :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I just noticed in my profile it says:Personalized Picture:Select one or specify a web path (ex: http://www.mypage.com/mypic.gif) to your own image. Please note that your image has to be gif or jpg and that it will be resized!where do we put the url, and also I thought there were "no" personalized pics??? is this an error?I also at first glance dont like the hidden option, it doesnt let me know if the user is "active" or not and whether I might recieve an IM or reply in post. Also not knowing if someone is online(without going to to front page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 A personalized picture is the avatar, and I think Gob just didn't bother to take out the URL part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Thats just the default text for that field, you can't specify your own avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Hey I just noticed down at the bottom it say guests# and members# it now shows #hidden. So you know when ppl are hiding ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 on main FED2K page, where there is a poll, rigrt uner it in the same section..oops, me know what it does now.It was the "View options" link, me think it shoudl say "View results" as the real link is titled, because some people may think there is "options" for the poll when there isnt, and then they click on it and bam! they sdee the results, thus biasing there choice. Hope I'm not too picky.me go to bed now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 It should say view results only if you are looking at the voting options and view options if you are looking at the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 As for poll, when I do click on view options nothing happens.(other than reloading of page)On Statistics center(page):Total Clicks (in the last 60 minutes): 0 It doesnt seem to be working for me, as in not counting.Shoudl I delete my cookie and see if things work better(after of course signing in and stuff)?

lowzeewee Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 Total Clicks (in the last 60 minutes): 0 is the same for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Gob have you gotten my messages?(3)I know you may be busy, but at least if you IM me saying you received them and what you may do about them would be nice.(I've been waiting very patiently)(not) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 The clicklog was removed to keep the server load down so it will always say 0 clicks.As for the avatars I have them but since they are all in bmp format it will take me longer to post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 oh, whoops, I thought they could be in bmp. I could convert them all to jpg or gif...(if you want)Thats the problem with being hidden..i didnt think you were online for the past couple days other than a couple posts..maybe if the hidden showed the user online, but not what they were doing.

Gobalopper Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 Well I haven't been online very often, if you check your outbox it will tell you if recipient has read the message. But if you converted them it would speed things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 would you like jpg or gif?(which one is better?)I think I will make jpg as they look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 I think most are jpg so that would be best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I changed all the avatars into jpg. (fast huh?) they are on the same link I gave you, but I replaced the bmp link with jpg file.Tell me that you have recieved them and that they are proper format etc.Also do you want(can) me to make a thread about them in the general board to get comments?
