You only get shot down by others if you start getting abusive when you don't have your own way or if you suddenly start spouting rubbish about stuff you plainly know nothing about.

You might irritate a few people if you piss on a few sacred cows , but as far as i'm concerned that's healthy. As long as you know what your talking about and back up your reasoning without throwing your toys out of the pram and have conviction in what your saying nobody can argue with that.

People overstate the hostility here , it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

I have no problem with what people want to listen to.
It's when you start making outrageous claims about these bands is when i'll get involved. And I don't care if it's the most throwaway of pop bands or the biggest rock bands on earth. Nothing should be sacred and everything has it's pluses and minuses.

The internet by nature is a breeding ground for ignorance. So to expect much beyond that is tiresome. Now that my cynical assessment has been spoken I really respect your effort to try and clean up the forum.

How ironic of you.

Maybe this has been mentioned before, but can the power to upgrade to a bigger size avatar be allowed for people with a certain number of posts? That way we don't have to bother moderators for the favor.

Haha I posted in the wrong thread with this idea: I want more than 50 PMs, you could create another usergroup for members who *cough* contribute to the forum in a certain *cough* way if you get what I mean *wink wink* not that the forum *cough* condones such activities.

I know vBulletin has the ability to show users all the new posts since their last visit. It would be great if this feature were turned on so that we could see all new posts without having to click through each individual forum looking for them.

New posts at the top... also todays' posts in the quick links, again at the top.

The way I've seen it set up before is as a little link in the upper right of the main page called "New Posts Since Your Last Visit".

I've seen that too, but it's kind of redundant with all the other stuff.

Ah, now I see what your talking about. Heh, I never even noticed that before.:o:

I like that idea.

the site should have vbbux/vbplaza

Which is what exactly?

We already have that in place.

You get 200 when you become a mod :D

Urban's is 300 to account for extra love mail.

Haha dude only 200?

Most places mods have like 60k, whatever the excel maximum is 65454 or whatever, some multiple of 8. And normal members have like 1000.

It'll be 65535... sounds like we should protest for more because I've approached my inbox capacity almost 3 times this year and my capacity is 1500 on another forum. :D

One of my MB gripes is that it shows a user as being online for up to an hour after their last action... so then people think mods are being lazy when it shows them as being online yet the forum is being spammed, journal entries aren't being approved and PMs aren't being acknowledged since no-one is actually around.

This pisses me off too.

Am I crazy or does stickied threads show new posts when there actually is none???

If someone votes in a thread but doesnt post it still comes up as on New Posts

oh! Thanks

I find the search tools a touch frustrating. For example I search "gastr del sol" and receive this message.


Maybe I am doing it wrong?

Just search "gastr" instead.

If it is less than 4 leters search in google instead. Type in your search term and ad musicbanter.

I wish you could to a thread title search.

Excellent. Worked a treat.

Go advanced ;)

Ahh I see.

In the subtitle area for the Thread Graveyard it says "thing" instead of "think."

That bugs me for whatever reason.

Me too. Am I obsessive compulsive?

Well I am diagnosed as mildly OCD... So outlook for you = not good ;)

It bugs me too.

I would have thought someone with OCD would have read all the threads on here and therefore known that the graveyard thread issue had already been mentioned.

:p:

You guys pay that much attention to the thread graveyard?

Haha I'm not that bad... do fill me in though.

Well it's right there on the front page...

For long suffering victims of OCD the Thread Graveyard spelling error fixed.
Thanks Yac.

Amazing. Thank you.

Y is it that i've posted far more than 9 post but my post as of last nite, this is my 2nd so far, still show "9 post" previously in another thread?

Lounge and Introduction Forum posts don't count.

Oh icic, thanks for e info! :)
