Quick Questions & Answers

[Sydian]

Suggestion lets you know the thread will be proposing a suggestion. Feedback lets you know the thread will be giving feedback on something on the forum. It's just an easier way to tell people what the thread is about, similar to the RBYG and GSC prefixes in Metal/Color, for example.

[Cassino]

I mean since suggestions are a form of feedback, where does one begin and the other end?
Usually feedback points out an issue... which makes it a suggestion to fix or improve something, ultimately. It seems somewhat ambiguous when exactly one or the other should be used.

[Patchisou Yutohru]

Suggestions: "I don't like this, you should do this."
Feedback: "I don't like this."

There's a way to choose your default style in the User Control Panel.

Go to "Edit Options" in the User CP and scroll down to "Forum Style" which is under the "Miscellaneous Options" tab there and then choose a style which will be set as your default.

Hope that helped you.

Hello,
Several questions here, just out of cureosity:
1. Who is PC's web hosting provider?
2. Is it shared hosting, VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting or dedicated server hosting?
3. Specifically which of your provider's hosting plans is this site subscribed to (or, what are your limits in terms of disk space, ram, CPU power and monthly bandwidth)?
4. Over the years, approximately how large has this forum's MySQL database grown to?
5. Which VBulletin version is this?
Thanks in advance.

Sharing so many technical details with you would be rather inappropriate, in my opinion.

Hello. I've been experiencing some technical difficulties with PC the last couple days. Whether it be on my computer or from my tablet, it's not wanting to load & I usually end up having to refresh. Today a webpage unavailable message comes up when I try to visit. It has a"load a live version" of the site, which when I click that the page on PC usually loads. This is kinda been a pain. No matter what device I use its been doing this the last couple days. I was curious if I'm the only one.

[Razor Leaf]

You're not the only one. PC goes down on occasion (such as 5 minutes ago...) for various reasons and sometimes we have several downtimes at once. Everyone experiences it and the best way you can stop it is to just leave for a while and come back later.

Why is the entire staff green? St Paddy's day?

[Sydian]

St. Patrick's Day is just starting on the East Coast of America.

[Livewire]

Today is St. Patrick's Day in America, the 17th? It's 12 AM my time, so it just now started.

Okay this is probably a very stupid question, but i really can't seem to figure it out:
Whenever i try to post a video by using the [YOUTUBE] function, it says there has been an error and it won't show the video. So my question is: What exactly do i have to put there? the whole link or just a part of it? I really have no clue. Thanks for helping!

[Razor Leaf]

You only use the part after the "v=" in the URL. So,

gets you



for the URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuYeHPFR3f0.

[Zorogami]

Awesome, thanks a lot for helping out! Now i can finally post cool stuff too :D

Okay, I'm at a loss here.
Here's the code for a signature created by ZachLMedia:

Spoiler:

Now, when I go to save this as my signature, I get the message "BB Code size value is too big". The signature creator has tried inputting this as his signature, and said it worked fine. If anyone knows why this is happeneing, please let me know! Thanks!

[donavannj]

You're replacing your current signature with it, yes? Or are you forgetting to clear out your current signature before inserting it?

[Totodile42]

I've tried a few times, and yes, I'm definitely replacing the old one. I really don't get it. D:

[Razor Leaf]

Weirdly working just fine for me. I imagine it's some weird quirk with usergroup permissions. If you like, I'll just edit your sig myself which should probably do the job since I don't see why it shouldn't work.

[Totodile42]

Okay, go ahead! And thanks for the help.

[rebelxgirl]

I was wondering where I might find info about at which point you're allowed to have links in your signature or if its a moderator only thing. Just curious.

I think the 15 post requirement to use links and images only applies to posts, not signatures.
