The single Caption This! board...
for new instructions about posting screen caps to the Caption This! boards.  :)

That reorganization must have been a lot of work.  Phew.

Thankfully it wasn't as much work as you might suspect. I just sorted the subjects on the original Caption This! boards and then moved entire pages of topics to the new boards. The SMF developers know that people will always be reorganizing their forum's boards, so they provide some pretty useful tools to do it.  [thumb]

I have certain urges to say some really stupid things about a great many DS characters.   Should I not be allowed to express said thoughts, well, let the results be on your head, buddy.

I would in fact tell all of you, that I am the first person to post on this thread, whose name does not in fact begin with "Ja.." .... but if you consider actual names and not just screen names, it just isn't so.....

Title: Caption section down?????
Post by: McTrooper on January 21, 2007, 07:58:11 PM
Is the Caption section down?????

Is it getting re-arranged again?

It's 12:56 PM 1/21/2007 and I don't see the link to it anywhere.

Did I just miss it?

Sorry for the sudo-freak-out

It's my favorite part of the forum and I was just wondering.

Edit:  Sorry I ment to post this in 1,2,3 testing.  Mods can move and or delete if a reply is unnecessary.

Janet, Jackie...  they begin with Ja-.      That's absolutely all there was to it.   I made a pretty pointless post, probably because the caption board was down and I was getting impatient to post something.

J the W,

On the Home page, locate "Members' Mausoleum," and if there are no listings under it, it means it has been collapsed and all you have to do is click it to uncollapse.

It's on the homepage again. But now there appears to be a new rule that you can only do 20 captions a day. I wonder if this is new, seems to be since I believe I did more than 20 captions the first day I was here.

Oh, boy. Am I dumb. Thank you, Midnight. We're in business again!

I'm having trouble getting the homepage.  Keep getting "Database Error" message when I try to access the home page.  I can see my "new replies" and "unread posts since last visit" links.  I haven't heard of this new rule of only 20 captions per day?  What does that mean?  One can't post more than 20 screen grabs or one can't post more than 20 captions to the pictures?  Anyone have a link to this rule so I can read it?  I don't know why I can't get my home page with the episode pix and folders to all the forums. :(

There was an error in one of the captions for the slideshow. An apostrophe that should have typed as ' wasn't. The database is soooo picky!  :D

As for the Caption This! error, there's absolutely no need to worry about it. If you get it - and it's very unlikely that most cousins ever will - you'll see what it's all about.  :)  Until then, just keeping posting as you always have been...

 :D I got that message today as I was fixing to do yet another caption. I've been having fun with that, and did not know there was a 20 per day rule. So now I have to wait til tomorrow to do any more captions.

Well I knew you'd step up to the next level in no time.  Having so much fun, are ya?  Is that a 24 hour restriction?  [cheerleader]

Actually, no. You should be able to begin posting captions again in a few minutes.  :)  And as soon as I finish perfecting it, the error will actually tell you how long you have until you can begin posting again...

Post by: Alondra on January 23, 2007, 04:37:05 AM
 :)Well that will be helpful. I knew I'd posted some captions last night, and a few this morning and wondered when I could do some more.

Yeah Jackie I made it to full poster but it appears that it takes over 600 posts to make it to senior, so that will be a while coming.

Oh no, not at all.  Accidents happen.  Glad you got the board listings back.   [smiley_compress] (collapsing smiley)
