let me take a shot at this... I'm never here (or am I?) but yet I'm still a moderator... Seriously, though, once a mod comes on board as a mod, there's no reason to remove them unless they ask to be removed. It's not like a term of office, it's more of a permanent lifestyle change (and anyone that has ever been a moderator can back me on this), because everything you do or say suddenly becomes under public scrutiny whether you like it or not. Regardless of whether they post in the public forums, they often pop in from time to time and offer opinions or conversation in the mods forums. As for the removal of posts discussing moderation topics and/or policies, it's simply not a topic for public discussion. Why? Because the mods have so much to hide? Not even close. It's taboo, because it inevitably ends up in finger pointing, screaming, yelling, TYPING IN ALL CAPS, and some reference to an ethnic group that may or may not allow you to have soup if you giggle in line. I, and the majority of people that I talk to, dont want or like to read all that crap, it's not what these forums are all about.

done, done and done

As some of you may know, I recently went through divorce, and times are a little tough for me starting out again, so I thought I'd throw you guys some deals that can be mutually beneficial, giving me a little extra income, and some discounted items that maybe you can use.

With the new chat room I have the ability to add custom avatars. You can see an example by looking at the current avatars, where I added a green penny racer starion. I need some of you artistic types to come up with some nice shiny starquest related avatars that I can upload, then I'll make a poll if there are too many, and we'll vote on the top avatars. Avatars should be approximately 40x40 pixels, in gif, jpg, or png format. Ready? Go!

Done

Hover over the user's name in the forum thread to the top left of the forum posts, and you'll get a little mini bio showing the join date

try a gravatar instead

note: that fee is per year, not one-time also, I'm not 100% sure we want to keep this particular chat, so let's try out a few and pick one that we want to keep

try checking out the gravatar thing, I just set it up on my profile

How big was your picture?

I get a popup with a list of recent messages that allows me to go directly into whichever message I choose, you don't?

I think the notifications settings were completely revamped, and the update may have reset them. You may need to go into your profile and set them back up in there.

Top right of the forum is a little icon next to "View new content" that opens quick navigation.

oddly enough, it's the same exact forum software, the layout hasn't really changed... much as far as where did this go, where did that go? I'll poke around, maybe some of the features were toggled off as far as avatars, they may come back after I rebuild thumbnails

iPhone users can also view the forums now with a free app from invision...

That should have already existed

Starquest Friends, Just a quick note to thank all of you for your help in the past, and a reminder that the time has come yet again for me to go out and walk. This year I was Co-Chairperson on the Media Committee for the walk, and this is the video for television that I produced this year, with the audio track provided by my Co-Chair. It was a lot of work, but very rewarding and I learned a lot as I went along On October 3rd, I will be again Stepping Out to Fight Diabetes and support the American Diabetes Association.

Any feedback since I posted this?

pretty sure I located the problem and eradicated it...

Anybody notice any difference?

I didn't I just checked, and the settings are to allow editing the topic title and description

I haven't put too much effort into this until I can get the site to be more stable. Chat right now would bring us down even further...
