  1. Ok, how can I make the MultiQuote feature work? Let's say I want to quote third things in one, I assume I click the "MQ" button on the first then the "MQ" on the second then the regular "Q" button on the third. Except it doesn't work.

    The online help has no directions for this feature.

    I am vexed.

  2. . And if Trevor can change HIS name, well, nevermind, it's my problem if I don't want to call anybody Rodent. Hello, Trevor.

    Trevor didn't change his name. I changed it for him. Just like Cole changes Trevor's underwear, but not as messy.

  3. No apologies needed, Rodent. Even though Codey ended up with a site of his own, due to the graciousness of almighty Trevor, he considered Awesome Dude his home site up to the day he died. I understand completely and welcome home!

    :cowboy: Tim

    This is why I love Tim. He's classy. Way classier than I am.

    (And he follows instructions because he's used Trevor's proper name.)

  4. I understand what the board did and I support the fact they CAN do it. However their implementation was faulty.

    Keep in mind all iPhone users (who set their phone up) as well as many MacBook users can track their devices if stolen. My Macbook, if I mark it stolen on a particular internet site, will take a picture of whomever is using it next time it's operated and email that and the IP address to me.

    So since it's school property they are loaning, their actions are okay BUT they failed to advise students that IF the laptop was reported stolen (or lost) there were automatic consequences.

    What will come out, sadly, is that some of those instances were not the result of reported lost or stolen machines. Then the admins should be taken out back and shot. That's way over the creepy line.

    This post is disjointed because I am tired. Sorry if it confuses.

  5. I love this. I especially like the comment by 'Val.'

    James

    Oh, yes: wonderful to see you, Wibby. Should produce a flood of cute animal photos.

    Great and snarky article.

    I can't figure out how quoting works on this new version of IPB. I must be growing dumber in my old age. Damn me.

  6. Welcome back. Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back to that same old place that you laughed about. For the names have all changed since you've hung around, but those dreams have remained and they've turned around.

    Dear Lord. That song brought back memories of some television that hasn't aged well.

    I have a headache but in spite of it, I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words. Even Cole because we all know his words weren't sincere. He's plotting to do me in with an Oxford Comma. If you find a dead raccoon with an Oxford Coma an his back, it's probably me. And Cole is the perpetrator.

    Oddly, Trevor remains silent.

  7. You wish you could be as cool as I. :icon_geek:

    Besides, it keeps the rodents away.

    I just came back and you're already trying to run me off. The pink shorts were enough. Do you have any idea how silly you look in pink board shorts?

    Now give me back my undies.....

  8. Hi:

    Perhaps you remember me. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV.

    This is my first post in a long, long time. About 7 months. The gestation period for a raccoon is only 63 days. What does this tell you? Nothing. Except that my sense of humour is more or less intact.

    I'll be honest, I almost didn't come back -- I figured nobody missed me. But Dude Trevor tried to convince me otherwise. I have no idea why he still puts up with me. I came under an hour ago to one private message dated 9 August 2009. Wow. The crowd really did miss me. It's okay, though, I still missed some of you guys/gals. That or maybe it was gas. It's so hard to tell.

    Coming back was a difficult decision and there are many complex emotions involved, none of which I'll go into detail about. My return will happen in several steps.

    My return is subject to one condition. No questions about anything in the past. None. From anyone. Seriously. I'd rather leave and stay gone that go into that. No emails, IMs, PMs, or even posts here and so on that touch upon anything prior to now. Let the past stay dead and let this be the final word on it? Okay.

    You can ask about my past writings but only by posting here in this forum. In fact, I'll answer the first question before anyone asks with a "Maybe" -- that question is "Will your writings return?" That's about step five or so. But I'm considering it. Some of my works won't return.

    I am not currently writing. I am not currently editing. I am currently thinking. If you're a smart arse, you may say "there's a first for everything."

    I have been told that there were a lot of posts about me in my absence. I did not come here (or anywhere) during that time and as such I did not read them, nor will I. I will not go back prior to the date and time before this post. If you feel I should read something that happened between my departure and now, you can provide me a link to the post, but make sure I won't see something that violates my one condition..

    I hope the moderators here will take care of any replies or future posts that violate my condition before I see them. In time, perhaps I will drop said condition but not for a long, long time. I thank you for your forbearance. I thank you more for winning Powerball tickets.

    Why did I come back? Hemorrhoids. No, wait, that's not it. Rabies! No. Not that either. It certainly wasn't the guy who runs this site. What's his name? Shit, I can't even remember. Dude Trevor or something like that. It's hard to be serious sometimes. I'm sure you realize it's not always in my nature.

    Ok, seriously, though I am back in very, very small doses. I'll probably come around once a week or so for the next few months. After I feel a bit comfortable, I may even post a bit more often.

    1. I will catch up on some reading after a few months more.
    2. Maybe I missed a few of you. I deny all such allegations and claim to know nobody here. Especially not Dude Trevor
    3. Um, do I need three? I want to skip step three.
    4. I've been told orangutan fur can cure hemorrhoids.
    5. I may eventually return to other sites. This is my original home and this is where I'm returning first. (I sincerely hope Tim forgives me. I tried to talk to him but have been unable to contact him.)
    6. Once I'm settled wherever I want to go, I will begin to take on small editing jobs.
    7. After editing jobs, I will discuss my old writings and re-releasing them
    8. Finally, I'll talk about new writing too. The epic I was writing was lost due to a hard drive issue. I was very far in to it and I am pretty upset over that, but I'll recover.

    I do wish to thank a few people with whom I've had limited contact in my absence. Only I won't name names. I've exchanged some email and IMs with people the past few weeks which helped me make this decision. I hope it's the right one.

    This post is rambling and disjointed, but since it's the first one in a long while, I hope you forgive me.

    My YIM and AIM and AOL E-mail remain unchanged. As do my underwear.
