General Questions
« on: March 10, 2002, 03:09:56 AM »
Midnite...I think I read on testing you wrote you're an IT person (internet tech???? duh...)
Okay:
What's an avatar?

If a poster wanted to put a link for a site, will it appear (cause I vaguely remember some Greek-to-me: this is for YaBB, will not support HTML.
Yabbadabba do....
what are the Y and a for (and I'm ASSuming the BB are for bulletin board)!

Which reminds me (with links):
have we seen/heard from Stuart Manning or Cryside?
Thanks for your patience
Patti (stiiiiiillllllll pregnant)

P.S.....why is the time a person posts so incredibly innacurate (i.e., it's 6:58pm est, can't wait to see what the board says).
yabba dabba do
HAA!!! Board says 12:09 a.m.!!

I'm not an IT; I only play one on the DS boards. ;)  Seriously, it was MB that said that, and I believe the I stands for Information.  I'm so not an IT-- that's why MB's the webmaster and I'm just the moderator.

It's a digital representation of ourselves in the virtual world.  In other words, it's a symbol we choose to represent who we are.  Mine turns into Evil Bunny when I'm in a bad mood. :)

Hee hee, I never thought of it that way.  They stand for "Yet another..."  Just type a URL and it will automatically be converted to a link, just like on the VNet boards.  There are light colored squares above the message windows that provide you with the YaBB tags that take the place of HTML code here.

Oh yes.  They've both posted on the discussion board.

Registered members can go into their profiles and enter an offset to make the clock display according to their own time zone.  For example, since where you are it was a few minutes before 7 p.m. when you posted, in your profile you'd enter an offset of -5 [hours].  The clock will still be off by a few minutes, btw.

Take care!
