Not that I am complaining - but sometimes you can get many messages reporting the spam... making the reports almost &#39;spamlike&#39; :P </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/8072#post-83048 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:15:30 +0000 Frique 83048@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>A &quot;report this post&quot; button would be nice. One that would flag it for the mods, making it easily visible to them. I am just recommending this as a possible feature for whenever the forums are updated. For now, I can easily PM Bubby or WR (since they are the only mods I can remember most of the time. No offense meant for everyone else.) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/8072#post-83046 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 14:44:26 +0000 BuBBy 83046@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I&#39;m fairly certain that those who post spam don&#39;t care about forum rules.

I hope you and your families are all doing well. For me so far so good, treatments are going well and just taking it one day at a time. I always make sure to stop and smell the roses, every day is a gift. I do check in often to see what’s going on, but do not post as much as before.</p> <p> To Goody, read about your problems in the other thread and hope the best for you. Will keep all of you in my prayers and I ask you do the same for me. Just a short post for now.<br /> Yours truly<br /> The Exalted Grand Poobah of the Planet VIAGRA </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5501#post-58089 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:15:32 +0000 ⓒⓗⓘⓟ 58089@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yes, I haven't really recieved too many suggestions. I'm more of the person who converts the updated manual to the pdf version and modifies the manual topic. But I do admit that I look through it, proof it, and revise and add to it what I can. It's a big task but its something that people need and I hope are using to answer all their obvious questions. Maybe one day the GOTD team will find time to pick up on this and make the manual more known and easily available to the public. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5500#post-58073 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:42:39 +0000 notblocklox 58073@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><em>"I've had too many posts and e-mails that I put some sweat into disappear into the great unknown."</em><br /> Who does not know this?

I just posted 2 to a thread in the last hour, with someone else posting in between, and I can still edit them both. Even after logging out and back in again to test it. Could be a glitch, though, because I was editing the first one while the other person was posting. Probably does work, though. Probably, the one hour limit is the only restriction, regardless if anyone else posts, but I can't say for sure. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5500#post-57988 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 14:33:39 +0000 copmom 57988@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Scubaguy.. great to see you posting again.. missed you! And you are right, we do only have one hour to edit what we post.. but, if I take my time in what I'm typing (and I have a big problem with transposing things due to one hand typing faster than the other from arthritis), then I don't need to edit. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5500#post-57984 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:58:59 +0000 notblocklox 57984@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi, <strong>scubby</strong>, I'm happy to see you :)))</p> <p>Yes, you are correct, we demigods have a lot of cryptic powers.<br /> So I was able to put the missing "R" into the title: Foums became mysteriously Forums.<br /> Maybe one of the Mods may even have a cure for my bad English.</p> <p><strong>Midori</strong>, the edit button works for an hour, and yes you have to be logged in.<br /> When there is a burning need to edit your comment after this time, please shout loud or just send a PM.

Once you're logged in, you will. So I must've checked the forum to add to my post without logging in yet, and noticed that the "edit" option was gone... hence I thought it didn't last as long as has been said. But yes, I realize that you stay "logged in" for a certain period of time. Now does anyone know what that is? LOL! (seriously, it doesn't matter... takes but a sec to log in) *&#38;:-) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5500#post-57969 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 03:47:38 +0000 GMMan, A+, Game Modder 57969@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Actually, midori, you can.

I guess I was referring more to experiences on a forum that wasn't moderated well (or at all), and someone would say something causing a remark, then go back and change what they said. Fortunately, those type of kids games don't happen here. It drives me nuts also, if I realize I've made a typo or an omission. Just seems to me I've gone back within minutes to change something and the option was already gone, but then it might be my time warp problem. *&#38;:-D </p>
