Custom avatars? What sort of vain bastard would want one of those?

Hi, I'm new here. And I've a question. Why I can not reply on some threads?

Thank you for having me here. Yes I tried to write something about Syria on 'Current Affairs' section. I guess I have to wait, didn't know about boundary of 50 messages. Thank you again and this is a great site that I'm following for a few months. And now I want to participate.

Ok, I have a slight problem with my personal message at the bottom of all of my post. The Character limit is 200, and I tried to finish the last 3 words (these words: under new winds), and the character said that there are 160 characters (granted, I changed it from pinyin to traditional characters, and that may have messed it up), but when I retype the last 3 words in the translation, they get cut off. Any ideas?

Ok, I'll try that, thanks for the help

You don't have to trouble yourself in writing it down. Sometimes when a signature is long you just have to tweak it to make it fit. Incidentally, it might help to italicize (or set in bold) the author's name as a sort of marker.

No reason for alarm.

Bubonic plague was a serial visitor in European Middle Ages "Black Death may have been a repeat guest in medieval Europe, not a resident. Outbreaks of the plague that killed millions of people were triggered by spurts of warm weather a continent away, researchers suggest online February 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." https://www.sciencenews.org/article/bubonic-plague-was-serial-visitor-european-middle-ages If the answer is it's ok to duplicate post from other forums what sub forum would this article be placed in?

Thanks for asking. Personally, i think it is alright. But before you start doing that let me check with my amigos.

There is the Buddy list only I can see.   The Ignore list makes things easier when one is fed up with someone's nonsense, so one doesn't need to memorize the nickname of the blacklisted poster..

We have our own method for reminding people that they've strayed off topic, and it's working very well thank you.

It would also be nice to have the option of removing <Multiple files at once> from <File Manager> of <Member Control Panel> (see attached picture)  Otherwise the only way of cleaning the whole file space is by removing the files one by one
