You may not have noticed that if you're editing a post for the second time you can edit out the previous [editby ] tags. That means you can avoid the clutter, becuase you will never need to have more than one "edited by" line on your posts.

Ahh! yeah I just discovered that possibilty to solve my main problems - so many thanks to you DISRAELI!

But I would anyway would like to have have a short window for us International posters about ten minutes, because i'm terrible some times at grammer structure in English!

Thanks anyway my friend! it's nice to know that fellow member are giving you their tips and are helping us along!

Thanks again my friend!

This happens to me, too. I think I've proofread but I don't catch everything and I have to edit.

Having a short window to correct those errors without that embarrassing "edit" notation - which does take away from the post somewhat - is a nice feature. I, like you, have experienced this privilege on another forum and it would be nice to have it here.

Firstly I must say that I love the new profiles.

What I would like to address is the fact when we go to look at our 'posts'...the links don't work...well, not for mine.

Is there any chance to get our friends lists on there as well please?

How long does one get banned from the chat when they get kicked of for flooding?
I thought it was an hour, but its beenlonger than that.

Thanks.

Friend list answer here

ANYONE?

Nobody has an answer to my question?

I did not intentionally try to get levied a 'warning'

but by gosh I spent 500 ats points in getting one !

Now i request/ demand that my mini-profile with avatar and such reflect the 'warning' i earned

my mini profile finally came on line ... but the W-0 (goose egg) is (i think) a slur on my disposition

kindly rectify soon....

It may be 24 hours. I am not entirely sure but that was the response to this question a few days ago.

Ok I was kicked from chat for "flooding," earlier, and it says I am still chat banned. How long does this last? I have never been kicked for flooding, which btw is annoying for those why type just as fast as we talk. How many times does it tell you before it kicks you and why didn't it warn me when it kicked me?

I never knew how this worked...Sorry. Honestly I find it funny cause I know I talk really fast and a lot and I am sure that this comes across in my chatting lol so getting kicked for basically talking too much is quite hilarious.

I just asked that question and just got the answer. I gotkicked toohaha.
I think they need towork on that whole flooding thing.
As you said, sometimes we are trying to get a point across, and the action of hitting the enter key too fast gets you booted.

itneeds a make over-

I got kicked a week agoor so and I had a 1 hour ban. Now they say it will take(maybe) 24 hours.

Just FYI - the W = WATS score (way above top secret) a formula derived from the number of stars/flags you have, not warnings...

Can I second ditchng the flooding in chat? it boots pees for not even flooding.

Anyhoo
More important things, profile pages seem to have gone nutso....may wanna check it

Ahh thanks GEL...ny apologies for not looking as hard as I should have.

Can I fourth the demolition of the flood ban please with CG, Mblah and Zazzy?

I got kixked for “flooding“ when the real cause was that I just type too fast...t'is not my fault..

Thanks BP! Yeah I type fast I talk fast too

Before it just said you type too fast. When I am having a convo with someone I just type and I don't think about the lines or the flooding honestly cause I don't see it as flooding, just chatting.

If I did this..

That would seem like flooding to me....

So when can I get back in?? OMG I want to listen to ATS live and do chat...What do I do now? Can someone tell me when my time is up?

Thanks

I'm guessing it's a 24hr ban

Get the hot chocolate brewing in the mean time

I just tried 'friending' someone, and I couldn't.

Is that temporarily broken too right now?

Even so, I must say that the site has been improved greatly with the new changes.

I asked the same question yesterday and this is the answer I got from SO.

Hope that was helpful.

Yes, Thank you!

It sounds like it will be worth waiting for.

The "New/Top Topics" list on the right menu is not updating properly. Right now, for example, it is reporting that this thread is the newest thread "updated in real time" and that it was created 29 minutes ago...and so far as I can tell, has said so since yesterday.

But if you actually go to the thread, you'll see that it's almost 30 hours old, and there are many newer threads.
