[The Old Geeza]

No bad thing though really, is it instigator ?

It's a good sign that BCF's a bloody popular site.

Yeh, OK then, I'm a Cheeky Sod

Nope - sure isn't!

Hey...what's going on on forums' days...I'm seeing the dot on the end of people's posts with more regularity!

[The Old Geeza]

You've just done it yourself.

Noticed what it does?

No? Well, it provides a separator between your reply and your signature. Basically, it provides a much bigger space between your text and your signature. If you try to use the [Return] key alone or spaces they don't work, 'cos they get stripped out when you post the reply. So, people now hit the [Return] key a few times to add a few blank lines, and then put a full stop just afterwards. That way you gain a space below your text.

Make any sense ?

Ah haa.....Learn something new everyday!

[Bendy]

Actually, I believe it's mostly caused by another forum on the same server.

[veeeffarr]

I still dont get it


.

[The Old Geeza]

Don't get what, Toby R ?

Got the hang of the full stop though, I noticed

Oh, I thought Bendy meant that the dot thing came from another forum, but now I realise I think she was talking about bandwidth

Nevermind

[veeeffarr]

I can do it better though

[The Old Geeza]

Erm...

We're losing the plot here a bit, aren't we ?

OK then clever arse, so you're better than me

But how do YOU manage get the spacing without using the full stop character?

Use a BBCode tag.

[The Old Geeza]

Lost me completely now, Toby R

What's BBCODE ?

Like when you make text bold and stuff

use [ b ] [/ b ] (Remove spaces) instead of a .

[The Old Geeza]

Erm...

I'm trying, Toby R. let's see if this works.











Hmmm...

You're right

Thanks for the info.

Hi

Only real pain with the server busy messages is when you have just typed a reply and it looses it.

Could be fixed by chucking out the text of the message with the message.

All the best

Are we on the same server as the maiden board now then?

Have been for months.

[zaknafien]

Can't we limit the maiden board's use as it's interfering with our far more important forum?

I'm sure if you flutter your eyelashes at Korn enough he'll knock a bit off the paying customers' performance so we can discuss getting caught having a wank without these nasty server disruptions.

[zaknafien]

Better get my best eyeliner out.

Oh Korn!

When the forum's cluttered with pointless threads, it's no wondered the servers stressed out

Remove the sh!te on here andi it would cut the monthly bandwidth in half

OH, and I don't know about the rest of you, but when I get server busy error when I'mtrying to post I just hit back on browsre and takes me back to posting page and message text is still there - I don't see what the problem is???
