Did the website setup just kinda change for everyone else or is it just me?

Who can I petition or what controls can I use to delete posts?

I don't have a huge post count so it shouldn't be hard.

Thanks

Thank you sooooo much, LL! That's marvelous!

Lounge Lady!

Thank you a million times over!

I was also having problems loading the lounge, it seems to have been fixed, my next gripe, is there anything that can be done about the annoying porn bot?

Le pornbot est fini! Sorry, bust-ies. We do our best of staying on top of posts. Thanks for reporting pornbots, and we will do our best to keep the lounge a clean and happy place of discussion and thought.

Dear Loungelady,

Is there any reason why the Lounge is loading so incredibly slowly these days? Sometimes it takes up to ten minutes for a page to load on my DSL connection, yet I'm not having any problems with other websites.

I see from the Community Forum that I'm not the only one having this problem.

Thanks!

you would have to re-register; there's no way of changing a profile name.

does anyone know how to change a username? i mean, do i have to reregister with a new name? or can i just change my name? anyone know?

thanks

Who dumped a drum of molasses on the Lounge? It's, like, wicked slow, yo.

fyi loungelady: when a new thread is started the lounge has the very annoying habit of reverting to lower case when title is in upper case including the first letter of the title, which is very annoying. It also insists in putting a comma after title and before description resulting in it looking messy and ungrammatical.

The Ignore Feature is a lovely little tool. When you put a member on ignore, you never ever have to look at another one of their posts. No words, no pictures, no nothing. It's a beautiful thing! There are two ways to impliment the Ignore feature. You'll have to be logged in to use either method.

Method #1: This will allow you to put a person on Ignore without ever having to find one of the person's posts! Yay!
1. Click on My Controls (it's up there on the right).
2. On the new screen, scroll down until you see the "Options" section on the left side of the screen. Find the link that says "Manage Ignored Users". Click on that.
3. On the new screen, scroll down until you see the section called "Add new users to your list". In one of the boxes, type in the name of the member you would like to ignore (example: Euphrates).
4. Click on the "Update Ignored Users" button.
That's it! You never need be bothered by that individual again.

Method #2: In order to use this method, you have to find a post made by the offending member. However, there's no typing involved, so some people find it easier.
We'll use Euphrates' post below as an easy example.
1. See on the left there were it says the name "Euphrates"? Click on that.
2. The screen will then display the profile for this member. Just to the right of Euphrates' name on the profile, you'll see the words "Profile Options". Click on that.
3. A little drop-down menu will appear. In that menu, click on "Ignore User".
4. The screen you see next will display everyone you have placed on your Ignore list. Euphrates should now be listed under "Add new members to your ignore list". Towards the botom of the page, you'll see a lovely button that says "Update Ignored Users". Click on that.
And that's it! The pesky poster is ignored! Hooray!

Deleted double post

What's up with the assclown posting all the pictures of dead babies? Can something be done about that, or do we just ride it out?

Found my answer...roseviolet taught me how to use the ignore function...not a newbie, just didn't realize such a wondrous function existed! Thanks, RV!!!!1

[Moonpieluv]

I noticed that bot! erg.

I have a newbie question.... I'm not into my username anymore. Can I change it somehow or would I have to re-register under a different name?

JOKEBOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the pornbot is gone. I noticed that the posts are gone! *hopes for the best*

Dear benevolent Lounge Lady - Just sent you a report about spam, and how to prevent the attacks...I hope it helps!!

I tried to change my avatar, too. I saved it as a JPG, it's 90 x 60, and I used Photoshop Elements, Save for Web. It's only 2K and I'm getting an error that it's too big. I'm using a generic one in the meantime, but wanted to say I was having troubles.
