User notes

[Appless]

For some reason I can't post user notes on anyones profile. It comes up saying



vBulletin Message

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

1. 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?

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or if you have newly registered, it is most likely awaiting activation by an administrator.

Please help!

[Leeza]

It's a priviledge that comes with time. You have to be here for a certain length of time, of which I'm not certain at the moment, before you are able to make any User Note posts.

[Appless]

Thanks.

Does anyone know how long I'll have to wait?

[Meat Puppet]

8 months?

[Leeza]

I think it's more like 90 days, but either way, you'll have to wait a few months. :)

[crono_logical]

90 days :p

[Appless]

Thanks

Speaking of user notes, is there a way to have a "you have a new user note" indicator? Like a pm, or a blinking icon, or a popup or something? Because it usually takes me months to realize someone left a note for me.

[crono_logical]

I have no idea :} I don't even know if the tables store something for usernotes similar to PMs or new post indicators :p

[Loony BoB]

At the moment, vBulletin doesn't have such a function, sadly. I just check mine once every few days or so.

[MecaKane]

Good work, now limit the ammount people can post to two. :eek:

[Psychotic]

I check my user notes every day, so I don't really have a need for an indicator. Besides, it would just become really annoying for me :p

[Yamaneko]

The solution is to get rid of user notes. *wink* *wink*

[escobert]

Or to get rid or Yams ;);)

[Psychotic]

I like the second option the best.

[Flying Mullet]

I check my user notes every day, so I don't really have a need for an indicator. Besides, it would just become really annoying for me :p
You'd have seizures if you had a blinking indicator everytime you get a new user note.

[Endless]

I get one every 6 months, no point in me checking everyday.

[Shlup]

I vote ban Psy.

[Psychotic]

I vote ban Psy.On the grounds of being too awesome? *sigh* I knew this day would come...

[Carnage]

I cant post in user notes and iv been here almost 8 months :(

[escobert]

90 days = 3 months :rolleyes2

[Leeza]

Carnage, you've been here over 7 months, but I think that the little title that you have at the moment is preventing you from using User Notes.

[Carnage]

Why did i put 2 :p i meant 8 this saturday is my 8 month anniversary and i get my custom title!

Stupid EoEO ban. I get demoted in eizon cant post user notes. Cant look at the topic on the tsunami the one time i actually want EoEO i cant look at it :mad2:

[Loony BoB]

And that's why you be more careful and don't get banned. ;D

[Carnage]

Never going back to EoEO.

Edit:WHo am i kidding thats what i said last time. But in all fairness i dont think my ban was justified this time(ill admit last time i went a little far). "starting a topic that i think was intended to bring negative attention" crap like that. it was supposed to be a topic about being tougher on criminals then abominatrix said something about me trying to be god and deciding who lives or dies. and one thing led to another. its a conspiracy. :shifty:

[Del Murder]

and one thing led to another.
That's the part that people don't realize they can keep from happening.

[TheAbominatrix]

Dont try and bring me into this, you got yourself banned. It's pretty easy not to get banned, too.

[TasteyPies]

Dont try and bring me into this, you got yourself banned. It's pretty easy not to get banned, too.

And i've tried

[Carnage]

Dont try and bring me into this, you got yourself banned. It's pretty easy not to get banned, too.

Im not. And it cant be that hard to get banned because alot of people get banned and iv been banned before.

[TasteyPies]

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

[escobert]

I've never been banned before :p And I think you're pretty lucky with the way you were treating NBM in the Eizon forum, I mean you were quite mean to him. But, that's not my place to go.

[TheAbominatrix]

Seeing as the majority of the people on the boards havent been banned, it's pretty difficult.

[Del Murder]

I could fix that pretty easily. And then blame it on Unne.

Carn, if you wish to discuss specifics on a ban feel free to pm any of the staff members. When things like this go out in the open it leads to speculation and assumption and loads more problems for everybody.

[Carnage]

Thanks and yea i messed up this thread so sorry.



I think you're pretty lucky with the way you were treating NBM in the Eizon forum

It was a war! And i cant/wont be mean anymore because im an overseer (or will be once this ban is up) and i dont want to lose that.

[Yamaneko]

So, when do we get rid of user notes?

[m4tt]

So, when do we get rid of user notes?

Soon I hope!

[TheAbominatrix]

Soon I hope!

[Psychotic]

On the day that you leave EoFF forever, Yams. They'll be back when you are, though, so all is not lost!

[Endless]

So, when do we get rid of <s>user notes</s> Yams?

[Flying Mullet]

Soon I hope!

[Psychotic]

Soon I hope!

[crono_logical]

:p &nbsp;

[TasteyPies]

Seeing as the majority of the people on the boards havent been banned Yammed, it's pretty difficult.

[Cz]

I wouldn't mind seeing user notes removed, provided a few favours were done in return. :mafia:

Postcounts in exchange for User Notes. That's all I and my associates ask. :cool:

[Psychotic]

Postcounts for User Notes. That's all I and my associates ask. :cool:You forgot Yams.

[Flying Mullet]

Postcounts for Yams? :confused:

Yeah, sure, why not.

[Del Murder]

All requests denied. Anything else?

[Yamaneko]

If the majority of active members want me banned I will not protest.

[Psychotic]

We don't want you banned, Yams. But if you want user notes to go, then you should sacrifice yourself :D


All requests denied. Anything else?Can we have a food-birthday-newbie forum? A combination of the three! And perhaps it would have threads about food to give to newbies on their birthday...wow...it sounds like a utopia.

[Del Murder]

Denied. Any more?

[Loony BoB]

"I will be happy with the removal of usernotes, but only if you do us a favour in return - postcounts for usernotes."

I'm happy with this. Postcounts for usernotes. In otherwords, every usernote adds to ones postcount. As there will be no usernotes, it won't make a lick of a difference. This is why people should be careful of how they word things. :smash:

[Raistlin]

I want a hug! :love:

EDIT: Damn you, BooB, posting right before me. >=o

[Del Murder]

I'll let Yams field this one.

[Yamaneko]

Cooties!

[Carnage]

I want a hug! :love:

EDIT: Damn you, BooB, posting right before me. >=o

how did you join in 1972 if EoFF just had its third year anniversary :confused:

[Raistlin]

First off, it was 5th year anniversary. :p

Secondly, it's the admins messing with my profile. For some reason. xD

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

if EoFF just had its third year anniversary :confused:Hahahahahahaha
If the majority of active members want me banned I will not protest.If the majority of active members want me banned I swear to god I will ban every last one of them.

[Psychotic]

Raistlin joined EoFF before it was created. Everyone knows that. Not everyone knows is how hard it is to fish out his long staff from where he likes to lodge it.

[m4tt]

how did you join in 1972 if EoFF just had its third year anniversary :confused:
Seriously, lay off the drugs kid.

Besides, 'postcounts for usernotes' wouldn't suggest that each note would add to one's postcount. It would mean that User Notes would come with their own independant post counts. Unless a system were put in place whereby the number of User Notes posted were actually counted (not simply set at zero, since then it wouldn't be a postcount, so to speak) then you'd be in breach of the terms agreed.

But then I suppose this forum is for feedback, rather than pointless grammatical discussion.

:riiight:

You suck. (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/nitpick.htm) :p

[Psychotic]

Nah, BoB is easily more of a Nitpick. Like, his sole basis of argument that user notes should be taken away(Different thread) was because they could be. Yeah, OK. Make me an admin. Why? Because you can. Same logic. :D

PS: I rock (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/rebelleader.htm).

Nitpick compensates for his limited fighting ability by pouncing on points that are only marginally relevant to the discussion. :)

[Cz]

Once the revolution has succeeded, however, Rebel Leader quickly loses interest in the cause. As is the case with false King-Fu Masters, the bones of wannabe Rebel Leaders litter the battlefields.So you either betray your principles or get crushed to a pulp? Nice. :p

[Psychotic]

Not until I win my war I won't. :roll:

[Loony BoB]

Almost every member of EoFF in my opinion can be labelled a Nitpick. :p I think Psy's sort of a Rebel Leader only he can't win his war because he's unwittingly created more elitism than he's removed. :smash: I am an Admin or an Eagle Scout. Or maybe I'm a Jekyl and Hyde and you just don't know it yet...

It's really scarey how many of those things that have been listed that I can fit into, either here or at other forums. Haha.

[theundeadhero]

I found it amusing that as I read them certain members here stood out in my mind. I consider myself a Big Cat.

[escobert]

:D I r teh rox0r (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/bong.htm)

[m4tt]

:D I r teh rox0r (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/bong.htm)
OMG YOU ARE SO COOL!

The description fits, I never know what the hell you are talking about.

[escobert]

Exactly :p

[Del Murder]

Someone find me, I don't feel like reading all of those.

[Loony BoB]

Hmm. Maybe Nanny (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/nanny.htm).

[Del Murder]

Yay!

Aye... It feels that i am nothing short of a Lurker, a shame indeed...

If you're referring to Murd, he posts too often to fit that. If you're referring to yourself, haha, nobody instantly agrees with things you say - you could only be a Xenophobe (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/xenophobe.htm). :D

[Baloki]

how did you join in 1972 if EoFF just had its third year anniversary :confused:

Hes Marty McFly duh

[Linus]

I know this topic's gone pretty far from its original purpose, but can I request that we be able to delete User Notes that we don't like?

[MecaKane]

Linus, I like you. So I'm gonna let you, and only you, delete the user notes that you don't like. And you can also edit them to make people who post look dumb. In twenty five minutes you will be able to do that from an "edit/delete" button that I will make!

[Loony BoB]

People abused the ability to edit people's posts, so now that ability is gone. I'm starting to sway towards the removal of usernotes now as either people are having to put up with crap usernotes in their profile or else they're having to put up with the risk of the person editing them to make 'em look like a fool.

[Linus]

So how about just letting me delete that 1 specific one from Joel?

[Psychotic]

So when is Yams leaving?

[m4tt]

So how about just letting me delete that 1 specific one from Joel?
The last one? I can delete it for you.

[Linus]

Yes, that one. I don't know why he put that there in December, since I haven't said a word to him since August at the latest.

[m4tt]

Done. ;)

[Linus]

**sex**

I was referring to Del, obviously, you twit. >=o

I would definitely be the Archivist.

[m4tt]

Nah, I'd go with Xenophobe for you raist. :D

[Baloki]

He is so Marty McFly (Edit: Raist that is)!

Edit: And I think Dr. Unne is the Doc :)

[Endless]

<a href="http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/god.htm">This one</a> sounds good to me.

*/ego boost*

[escobert]

No thats Clout I mean... he did creat the internet right?

[Fuzakeru]

O_o;; (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/strumpet.htm)

XD!!! Close to me but not close enough. ^_^ Bwuahahaha.

By the way, User notes are fun to spam but don't really hold any other meaning than that to me. =/ If I wanna say something to someone I'll just PM them. ^_^

[Raistlin]

Nah, I'd go with Xenophobe for you raist. :D

I actually read the Xenophobe one, and I actually have to agree. xD

However, the last sentence doesn't really apply, and it only goes for here. But it's still kinda funny.

And hey, they ARE mentally deficient. :p

[Cz]

People abused the ability to edit people's posts, so now that ability is gone.When did that happen? I don't remember anything that could be considered abuse.

Besides, I can still edit posts. Observe (http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/usernote.php?do=viewuser&u=985)!

[Citizen Bleys]

I bitchedited everyone who posted in my user notes for a while, before I started deleting them.

[Loony BoB]

When did that happen? I don't remember anything that could be considered abuse.
Well we're sure lucky people come to the staff instead of you when it comes to that stuff, then! :D But if you can still edit fine, then maybe it didn't change right or somethin'. *will look into it*

EDIT: Fixed, I think...

[Cz]

Yeah, it's fixed. :grumble:

That means I can't unedit those messages, though. Psy will love authority figures forever. xD

[The Captain]

Question In Passing:

Am I wrong to view user notes as another form of feedback, which I can use to improve my time here? Am I missing the "real" point of them?

Take care all.

[Del Murder]

You are not wrong. They are whatever you want them to be. It's just an extra fun thing to do in these forums. Let's hope people don't screw up to make them go away.
