What we are not allowing is to post in succession because you can edit your posts if you want to say more. We also don't want to be strict and enforce this as a rule because we want posters here to post whenever they want provided that they don't post in succession. Also I think this posting after 48 hours is to circumvent the 48-Hour rule, which is allowed, to help save the board.

Thanks for that Lindsay. I wasn't sure what the protocol was as I'd been corrected on threads on other boards after posting after 24 hours, and others told me 48. For the main reason of news!

Thanks, good to know!

Leanne, I hardly have any space in my pm box, so I’m going to respond to your pm here if you don’t mind. I’m not sure if you mean the gifs?? The gifs are posted the same way as static images: the links inside the "img" brackets.


And I usually give credit to the people who made them:
URL hyperlinking code
Fan Forum - BB Code List

Hope this helps!

[reason to believe]

Thanks, it helps a bit, but how does one get the links from the tumblr site?

[meraki]

^Right click on the image and click Copy Image Adress (and then paste the adress between the img bracket).

And then just copy the address in the adress bar for the credit. And add it somewhere in the post.

morgonrodnad so glad you answered the question about the tumblr pics/gifs because I've always wanted to know how to do this as well so thank you!! It seems very easy to do now that someone's explained it.

[reason to believe]

Thanks guys! I think I will only be able to do it on my desktop computer then cause my iPad won’t let me right click to see address links on the images.

[meraki]

^If it on a tablet (iPad). You should be able to hold it in few seconds on the images and then few options will show up. Should be the same with Copy Image Adress (or something similar).


80s90sIsTheBest No problem.

Can you use your own custom Avatar because i don't see a opinion to do that anywhere?

[a fine mess]

After 100 posts, you will be able to use a custom avatar. That option will become available on your User CP then.

Hi Would FanForum ever consider increasing the number of private messages we can hold on to? I've been on FF for like 14 years and it's getting so hard to keep under the 250 max.

I keep a lot of old PMs too for personal reasons (my oldest is back in 2007) but for now, you can download your PMs. Go down below on your User CP and you will see this:

Download all Private Messages as:
XML | CSV | Text

[SweetSymphony]

^ Thank you! I downloaded a bunch but I rather have them on FF instead..it looks so weird when it's downloaded.. And I don't think after a while I would find it either.

How come I can't see the posts or the threads that I have made? I get this message:

alice1804, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Hi! As you see I'm a newbie and I'm trying to figure out how to reply to a visitor message but I can't seem to do that. Sounds silly, I know it is supposed to be easy but there is no reply section! What am I missing
