Help Centre

Hello and welcome to Musicophilia!

We hope that you are having a great time here. However, we understand that certain technical issues may arise in the forum and you would like to seek help for that. No problem. Here's the place to ask those questions.

Examples:

1) The "How do I" 's....(edit a post, change my avatar, stop others from sending emails)

2) You can discuss a rule in the forum and offer suggestion for change:

I encountered this rule when I tried to post a link.

New members are not allowed to post external links or emails for 7 days. Please contact the forum administrator for more information.

I suppose it's more preventive for spam.


3) Anything personal, including reports of other misbehaving members, should be reported to the local moderator of each forum, or any global moderators and administrators. Thank you!

Happy posting,
Andamo

Hmmm...I can try to look at the admin panel and see if we can remove that.

Thank you so much for bringing that up! I have been wondering the same thing!

I know how to remove it, Mitch, so if you have issues, just let me know.
Yes, it's to prevent spam, but most of the members who have joined are not spammers, so we should be ok. Thanks for bringing it up!

No problem everyone.

I think it something safe to keep now that I've thought about it.
Perhaps you can change the length of time that blocks members from posting spam. (say 3 days?)

===================

Another thing. If the welcome centre is alright with all the "Help/ Forum Help" issues posted in one unified thread, the "Help Centre", then I will edit my first post and make this thread open for any issues in the forum. (technical side)

Sure thing.

Done

We used to be able to change usernames. I suppose that's no longer an option?

I've also noticed that after posting a messge, the forum doesn't automatically redirect you back to the thread. Instead it stops and gives you options below:

Unless you use quick reply.

I think it'd be better to let an admin know when you want to change it to avoid confusion... it's better to do it early on before the forum grows.
And that's another issue I'm looking into... the defaults forumotion has are different from what I'm used to, too.

Please pass it on for me.

I believe the two other admins are:

Rabbit On The Run
shattering sea

Correct me if I am wrong

You got it. They're great admins!

Haven't talk to them much yet, but did with the mod

I asked about it and they said it's their default now... though sometimes it works for me.
I did fix the quoting problem though.

Thanks UpOnThe101,

If it's default now, old forums created aren't affected by the new change? Just wondering

Apparently not. =/ Weird how it works lol.

Thanks for the info forum master!
