|
|
Would it be possible to move off topic posts to the proper forum? For instance, a "How's XXX to work for?" doesn't belong in the Schools forum. I see plenty of posts in the wrong forum and it's a bit annoying. Maybe I'm just being picky, but it is.
Of course, people should be smart enough to post in the right forum in the first place, but this is teh Internet and you're bound to get all kinds. At least most posters here use half-way decent English and some punctuation. |

Here's an easy fix:
When you first log in, click the link marked "View Posts Since Last Visit" on the Index page. It will show you every post that has been made since you were last here, and then it doesn't matter if it is in the right forum or not. :D |

You know, the ones who didn't think English class was important. So of course, the forums are full of those kind of things. |

I am probably guilty of this as I am new to the forum and not too inet savvy.
Like when I try to go back one page, click on the arrow, it says expired.
I learned, all by myself how to get there tho.
I still don't know how to add the Emoticons, or what BBC means. And I may never know, unless someone tells me. HTML, what's that. I know it one kind of 'computer language.' I think anyway. depending on what program you are running on your computer. I know this is not a site on how to use computers. anyway...
This funny administrator who says he moves posts too keep people on his toes, that cracked me up. Luv humor.
I try to use proper English and complete sentences, tho the paragraphs are a bit more difficult.

to borrow an idea from Howard Stern, how about a "who gives a s*** forum"
for posts about stuff nobody really cares about |

when you finish your message, just look on the left side of the page, click on whatever emoticon you want and then , it will appear like magic
:shock: :) :lol:
if you want it in a different place click there first
like this
