Laurel does sweeps every so often, and removes double votes, etc.

(thanks for the feedback, by the way)

That's good to know. I think I'm guilty of double voting sometimes but if I like it enough to read it twice I think it should get 2 votes.

(and you are very welcome) :rose:

You can ask your writing questions in here.. or you can PM me :) I'm a decent editor, even if I do have writers block, I can still answer some questions.. and Cantdog is excellent with writing questions, definately ones pertaining to english.

Thanks for the reply, Tolyk! I have since discovered a wonderful writing resource built right right into the site!

I know, I know, I should have discovered that ages ago. What can I say? It took me years to realise this place even had a message board.:rolleyes:

It was mostly just minor nit-picky things such as double hyphenations, punctuation inside or outside quotes, etc, etc. More editing type questions than Authoring, so much.

We were just discussing the double hyphen the other day, and elipses (the triple period ...)

But yeah, the writers resources are great.

Yes, I recall the elipse thread.

Rhino threatens to find me and string me up by the toenails if I don't read all his posts. :eek:

Since this thread is here.. I have a couple questions myself, but they pertain to lit itself, not writing.

How do I add writers to my Favorites list.

and

Is it possible to make it so you don't get emails about replies to your subscribed threads? (no, not the individual messages, I don't get those, just to subscribed threads, whenever there is a message in one)

Not sure about your first question but you need to go to your control panel and change your options for the second question!

Yes. It is possible.

:D
 
Goldie, I've changed that option, it didn't affect my subscribed threads.

Unless there is one I'm missing.. the Disable email notification in options only affects your standard posts.. from what I can tell.

smart ass
i knew there was a reason why i liked you.


goldie, lemme know if you need help. i can pm you if you'd like.
*hugs*

Ok, seriously, I used to know how to apply the favorites feature, but it escapes me at the moment. I went back to the stories section to try and work it out, however the site seems to be having problems for me right now.
 
Is it bringing some pages up as completely blank? Thats been happening to me quite a bit so far today..

Yes, I can't seem to "get it up!" Just shooting blanks here also.

How does one hijack a thread which has no topic?

One doesn't, one goes with the flow and remains with no topic.

Or one steals the thread away entirely, but that would require admin priveledges ;)

Tolyk, did you ever figure out the favorites thing? If not, PM me, and I'll tell you.

Aw, but that takes all the fun away from thread hijackers like me!

I just try to find abandoned threads and hijack them and no one really notices too much...usually.

If I find any new old threads I can let you know if you like and then you can hijack them to. ;)
