I can't take the quizzes, it gives me this message even though I'm loggin in...
"Sorry, you must be registered with Movie Forums to access this area. "
I hope to have both fixed within a day or two. The quiz section overhaul is nearly complete and I'm finally getting around to the blasted movie list bug. :)

What about making a custom status title? There is no way to enable it....I don't know if that is a bug or not, or if I just can't do it :confused:

As I'm looking around the site, I was curious what is up with the shout outs? Are they just for random posts, or what? Just curious.
The Shoutbox (http://www.movieforums.net/shoutbox.php) is just for random blabberings and such...stuff that might otherwise be clogging up the forums unnecessarily. It's meant to serve as a chatroom of sorts. As I'm sure you'll find, several MoFos are highly addicted to it. :D

That's what I figured. Thanks.

Yeah, can you fix that again for me?:)
Anyone with 5 posts or more can specify their own custom user title. :D

Where can we change that? I can't find the link.
Forum Options -> Edit Profile -> Just below the birthday fields.

Siomething I noticed in the last week or so: in your trying to fix the bug with editing people's 10 favorite flicks lists, has this resulted in everybody's lists vanishing for now? The follow-up to that is: do you still have the information stored, or will we have to actually re-enter 'em whenever the problem is fixed?
Last I'd checked (which was just now), I don't believe anyone's lists have vanished. Yours is still there. So is mine. Ditto for Sadie, Spud, and our little Aussie friend. The lists can now be accessed by clicking on the little popcorn icon alongside your "profile" button on each post...and in the same friendly spot on your profile page.

Ah-Ha! They got moved to an icon alone istead of the text under the name and avatar.
Aces, I gots it.

Do the 10 favorites lists no longer accept the code for things like italics?
Depends on what you mean. They're not currently being parsed for the bb Code, but that'll be fixed shortly, (hopefully) along with the rest of the system, which is halfway-revamped as of right now.

Sop if I keep mine as is, eventually it'll go back to reading as Chinatown instead of Chinatown? At least in theory.

One more little thing re: these lists...are they no longer available while looking at somebody's profile pages? I think that's what was really throwing me, why I thought they completely disappeared. Is the popcorn box icon there and I'm just missing it, or is that something you decided to nix altogether?
There's a text link near the top of the page on the right-hand side...it's on the side of the gray bar adjacent to your avatar, beneath your user title. That's where it's always been on the profile page, I believe.

NOW I see it.
I seem to remember it used to be between the 'stats' and 'contact' boxes on the left, like more in the center of the page, but maybe not.
Anywho, now I knows where to finds 'em. All MY questions have been answered, so thanks.
Don't mention it. And the bb Code parsing should work now. Can I get a "Happy happy, joy joy"?

Well, at least a "You go, Girl!".
Grrr...so close. I can almost edit my favorite movies. As soon as I click OK, or whatever, it says there is an error. I guess you are still working on it then?
Yep. Sorry about the delays. Hopefully I'll quit dragging my feet and get the blasted thing done soon. :)

I'm still waiting on him to get my DVD section updated. :D
I am trying to change my movie favorites. When I try to, I change them and click on the finish edit button. Thinking that they are changed I look at the list and they are NOT changed. Why??? Can anyone help????

but umm...
My favorite movies arent there.
Also,
I see the submit news is under construction...

Just curious....
The thing is busted. I'm workin' on it. Submit News has been put off so many times I've lost count. :D As for a review: just email or PM me about it. :yup: Likewise, if you want, you can send me your favorite movies and I can enter them for you manually.
Thanks for your patience...I'll get it all done someday. :laugh:

Unfortunately I am html gal not php.
I wish I was php savvy though as it all seems to "flow" alot better and seems better manageable...
my site is getting CRAZY with the html and manually have ing to add stuff....
:sick:
Well, PHP isn't a replacement for HTML really. PHP is primarily used to generate HTML dynamically...so you can't really use it to build a site on its own. It just extends and customizes HTML depending on various environmental variables/circumstances. That said, if you ever want to learn about it, I can point you to a few books/online tutorials. :)

My site differs from this one not a whole lot.
With movie reviews, news, etc.... Where this one mainly focuses ont eh forum, mine focuses on the reviews, forum is available through a secondary source at this point which I hate! But Until the site gets moved (hopefully before winter) it will have to do.
Anyway, I am needing a database type going on with all the reviews etc....
blah blah blah....
you get the idea and this is way off topic.... haha....
anyways
ANY help in the direction of php greatly appreciateed.
