    "Common sense" woud work far better...


    There is a Birthday thread already, in general banter.

    (Just as there is a threads for discussing "How was your day?" And "Prayers and Support".
    There is an introduction thread already, in Buddhism for Beginners.

    Worth looking at the "Announcement" threads in all forums, where relevant.

    Many recently moved threads actually fit no location.... :rolleyes:
    I think if there is no real or logical place to put it, it's either not worth discussing, or it should go in General Banter/Members only.

    Testing, testing...

    There we go, just wanted to make sure. Along with <strong> for bold, you can also simply use <b> ("b" for "bold", easier to remember) which is the same as in HTML encoding.
  • Oh great, thanks @Cloud.

    But it hasn't been working, as you all mods have undoubtedly noticed. I was just thinking that posting some basic guidelines on a permanent thread would help everyone, including the mods.

    I know. Maybe I didn't make it clear, but I was proposing adding another permanent thread like those, with category guidelines for us to check before we post.

    There - you will have to approach @Lincoln.

    But trust me - right now he has his hands full.
    This is another reason we now have more Mod's.
    To take the primary weight off him..

    How come this forum always worked so well before without all the extras people are asking us to now add......?
    It never caused any great bother before....
    But suddenly, people need guidelines.....:scratch:

    If you're not sure, ask! :D

    A much higher volume of new members, most likely.

    Yes, well, it's not urgent, I won't bring it up w/Lincoln, thanks for the heads-up.

    What is this.. "permanent" that you speak of?

    Is there a search feature yet? I really hate to start something that has already been discussed to death.

    Never mind -- I'm blind -- it's in the upper right hand corner. If it had been a poisonous snake, I'd be lying on the floor in agony. Sorry.

    There haven't been any "@name" alerts within my profile lately. The only alert my profile gets when someone mentions me is, [null]. So, there haven't been any alerts on my profile when other members have mentioned my name.

    Could this be one of the things that have been missing?

    If so, my trust is that this helps you. :)
