Annoying User Asks Too Many Questions
I have a question. I'm new here. How do you get an avatar?:fuzconf:
|
You have to subscribe to our elite membership group. Costs about £30/year.
Alcar... |
If you don't want to pay £30 send Peter a PM with a short essay about why you need an avatar.
|
or ask meh and i'll tell for a slightly smaller fee of £25......
|
You need to go into your Control Panel (look for the ‘User CP’ link near the top of each page) and find the Edit Avatar option down the left-hand menu. That will allow you to select one of our pre-made avatars, or a custom avatar of your choosing, which you can upload from your computer or the Internet.
I like that Peter has switched the UK and has keyboard access to the £ sign, while I have switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout which doesn’t contain any such non-ASCII characters. |
What does this have to do with subscribing?
|
Peter is merely the owner of these forums. Don't believe a word he says.
Particularly when he's trying to get you into bed. |
You’re welcome, MeechShrykull1029.
|
Okay, I can get an avatar now.

Especially after you've been Qwerty'ing for so long. |

Where Are Lampion And Others?
I looked in the oldest threads, and they have posts by members I don't know. One of them named Lampion was a very popular one. Why did they all leave. I also looked into a thread where one of those old members was leaving. Another member told him not to go. He said that most of the new members coming were Stranger fans who never heard of Abe. Just to let you know, I'm not one of them. I've known Abe since I was 6 (I'm 12 now), and I only found out about Stranger last summer.
|
People move on, actually find a life, die, take your pick.
|
Oh believe me, we didn't think you were one of them.
:
Just out of interest, who is this person who said that most of the new members coming were Stranger fans who never heard of Abe? |
:
|
The members that people like say they're leaving and never come back. The annoying newbs always claim to be leaving but never do.
|
I will say, that I didn't really speak with Lampion personally, but he was an excellent member and OWH Moderator.
Aww, here comes the nostalgia. Alcar... |
Although i would probably been abused until i was crying to my mumma i would liked to of met Jacob and various others...
|
Do you think I can still email Lampion?
|
Why don't you try it and see?
|
Okay, I sent Lampion an email.

Small Green Thing
What is the small green thing that appears when I post.
|
*Facepalms*
Damn, I was too late. Look, people make a decision to leave, if they want to leave they can leave, can't you just respect that and leave them in peace? You weren't even here when they were! It's like crying over spilt milk that you didn't have. |
It tells you what your reputation is, which is determined by how other members of the forum think of you. Right now you at 10 rep because no-one has added or taken away any rep yet, thus it is green.
And to answer your next question which I believe will be 'How do I get more' you get more rep by other people repping your post because they liked it or thought it was amusing. There are about three threads on this, I'd advise using the search option first next time :). |
Yes, searching is always best.

Who Is Quorisha?
I have a question. Who is Quorisha? Why can't I view his profile?
|
Does it really matter?
|
Yes, because it's weird.
|
There is no member called Quorisha. Since this user dates back to when OWF was new, my guess is that it was someone who managed to post without actually registering. Perhaps this was possible back then.
|
There are a few guest posts lying around the place - my best guess is that when we converted from UBB to vBulletin, those posts didn't have a user associated with them.

One can never ask too many questions. However, the choice of questions is important if they are to be worthwhile.

Profile Help
I can't open anyone's profile, even my own. Why?!
|
probably because the administrator has not allowed it
|
I doubpt searching "small green thing" would come up with anything, in situations like these, I think it is best to ask, rather than wonder alone in the dark.
Oh, and for your trivial knowllege, it also comes in blue (nuetral) and red (bad :K) varaties, you may notice mine is permantly stuck on the red varity. :P ;) |
Wait, that doesn't sound right...
Is there an error message (White page, weird font), or do you get a page within the OW forums telling you that you have no entry. I have the same problem (error message), and just realised it when trying to PM, but I'm sure the mods will be quick to fix it. If the administrator has done this to you, I'm sure PMing him will do the trick, or any of the mods for that matter, they'll at least tell you what is going on. ;) |
