CALLING ALL EDITORS

Announcements

If there are any active editors on Gateway that have not yet signed up here, please do so within the next day or two. I have never had any good way of tracking all the editors, so I'm not sure who's here and who's not - even with SEs.

Please log in and make sure I give you appropriate permissions and titles; I want everyone in place by Wednesday. Txs!

Okay, I've signed up (again). But I have to say I really don't care for the new forums and I'm on the verge of giving up on them.

By Eisel Mon, 12/19/2005 - 4:15pm.

They ain't so bad. We couldn't none of us figger 'em out at first, but once ya get the hang of 'em, they're right nice.
Sorry, I've been watching Serenity. Again. I want to be Mal.
Seriously, they do take getting used to, but just keep practising and then it seems pretty natural. And the add content is just great.

Some of those icons are pretty cute but it appears that the randomly generate since I haven't seen anything that allows me to choose what I want on my post. Is that something that can be made an optional feature so we can select the little graphical icon or is it just thrust upon us?

And since you're updating changes and permissions, over on RPG Tales, I am listed as curious... not senior editor, not anything else just: curious, which is OK because no one else has it but it's a bit odd and if it's not too much trouble could it be altered to reflect my senior editor status? Thank you very much in advance.

That tales is going away as soon as the stories are all transfered to the new system, to be replaced with the tales that you get when you click on the link in the upper right of this page. Won't matter anyway.

Are we all here now? I have as senior editors:

AusRPGer
Eisel
ob1knorrb
Remmy
Soraya

Is that our whole, currently living contingent of senior editors?

It bounces mail from mailgroups on a daily basis. So I use the other as a primary.

But I am really confused that's for damned sure.

By Eisel Tue, 12/20/2005 - 8:31am.

Mythotical is/was around, and has permissions. Other than Olan and Kinslayer, the rest haven't been active in quite awhile. At least, not in forums.

Ahh, but the problem is that the average user isn't going to hang around long enough to figure them out. They have to be usable and fairly intuitive right off the bat unless you want this to be a private club.
Now, having said that, I haven't tried doing anything here in the last few weeks so things may have improved.

By Eisel Tue, 12/20/2005 - 7:28pm.

than when I first got here. I was frustrated and downright crabby about it. But I can do so much more now than the original forums - add quotes and pages and stuff - it's nifty, guys.

I'm with Eisel... this incarnation is a lot better. It's easier to navigate, easier to find content, and much easier to add new content. Now we need our editor buddies.

'tis much better this time; but try it and let me know what doesn't work for you. I'll work on fixing. Forums is the one place this software could use help, but help is available. It's difficult to explain how it works, but I can do quite a bit with it, given the time. It doesn't help that I'm still learning the software -- it does help that I crashed it and had to rebuild, because then I knew better than to do some of the stuff I did the first time.

On the font or appearance issues, please send me a screenshot so I know what you're talking about. Most of the screens look fine to me on both Firefox and my version of IE.

I am looking for all the editors, but wanted to make sure that the Senior Editors were all around. Was Olan an SE? I think the others were all editors.

He's been around forever . . . I'll try and run over to RDInn today and pm him.

When I click to add a comment, I enter my title and then I have scroll down down down to actually type the body of the comment. This is in Firefox and IE so I dun think it's me... I'm lazy, I'd rather not scroll. But if I hafta, I hafta... Thanks!

I can have a look. I've been thinking about rearranging the code to put the reply section first, anyway, and the primary article or thread beneath it ... not sure how I could do that yet.

I'm here but it took me 6 months to find the new forum - no-one told me we were moving. Likewise, no-one's been responding to any e-mails I've sent asking for my access to the admin side of things to be fixed - I've been unable to access that for nearly 2 years now!

Of course, it could be that I'm not needed anymore...

By Eisel Wed, 05/31/2006 - 3:02pm.

The links and notifications of move were up for several weeks before we came, and then it was a straight redirect, wasn't it, Effie?

Are you emailing Effie for that fix? It's effie@rpggateway.com . . .

Good to see you!

Never saw anything and only found this forum by complete chance! And, yes, that's the e-mail address I've been used to try and e-mail Effie. No reply - not even a bounce-back Regular Sad

By Remmy Wed, 05/31/2006 - 6:15pm.

To verify, yes, Olan was indeed an SE, or at least I'm quite positive he was. Considering he was here before I for sure.

If you can't blame Effie, you can always blame me.

I'm still kicking and screaming, I think my email in the system needs to be updated as I no longer get emails regarding new additions. steve@review-this.net

By dpmcalister Fri, 06/02/2006 - 12:49pm.

Even after posting here, I've still got no, real, reply. Is Effie still around? Can someone else help? I REALLY need access to the admin side as I need to have a clear-out of my categories (I've been getting 404 reports for ages). If I don't hear anything by the end of next week then I'll quit!

By Mythotical Fri, 06/02/2006 - 1:29pm.

Same here, I need my password reset and email to me at the email I posted above. I just won't quit if it doesn't happen, I just need to see if I have anything in queue or not.

By dpmcalister Fri, 06/02/2006 - 1:51pm.

You might think I'm being petty, but I've been waiting TWO YEARS to get this sorted and it's starting to... well, let's just say that I'm not impressed!

By Mythotical Sat, 06/03/2006 - 3:02am.

I hear ya DPM, give Effie a few, she will see the thread and post. I've tried emailing her but both her email addy's are dead. I have no clue whats goin on with that.

By Effie.Rover Wed, 06/07/2006 - 10:27am.

I'm cornfused on the emails, dpm, I haven't gotten any that I know of. Can you try again -- effie@rpggateway.com or effie@effierover.com? Send me an updated password. If I haven't got your correct email, that would explain why you didn't know we were moving...

Same with you, myth. I fixed your email address, but don't have a password to reset for you.

By dpmcalister Wed, 06/07/2006 - 2:09pm.

OK, e-mail sent to both addresses. I hope one of them gets through.

By Effie.Rover Fri, 06/09/2006 - 10:19am.

I got nothin. Hmmm. Usually one of us gets a reject...

Can someone send me a gmail invite so I can sign up there?

By dpmcalister Sat, 06/10/2006 - 2:26pm.

...but given my luck with e-mailing you at the moment... Regular Sad

By Remmy Sat, 06/10/2006 - 6:14pm.

I shot one your way effie.

If you can't blame Effie, you can always blame me.

Any joy with the e-mail I sent in reply to your one to me?

By Effie.Rover Thu, 06/15/2006 - 11:19am.

Think I sent you a reply. Gmail is kinda wierd. Anyway, it's http://www.rpggateway.com/cgi-bin/wyrm/admin/admin.cgi

Let me know if your categories are still right Regular Smiley

By dpmcalister Thu, 06/15/2006 - 3:05pm.

I sent you another e-mail to your Gmail account - you'll understand why when you read it Regular Shocked
