Lost Privileges After Admission to L & CR

Double Naught Spy · October 8, 2008, 10:02 PM

Hello,
Well, y'all asked me to note any glitches after being admitted to Law and Civil Rights. I am no longer able to post images and I no longer have mail privileges. In fact, I was going to do an note to TheBluesMan to let him know my problem, only I am now allowed ZERO messages in my mail box and cannot sent mail. I even tried deleting mail to free up space, but that didn't work.

Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

TheBluesMan · October 8, 2008, 11:01 PM

Okay, DNS. I just went into the control room and started pushing a whole bunch of random buttons. See if by chance things work better now.

Thank you. I have mail but am still full on posting images.

TheBluesMan · October 9, 2008, 07:27 AM

I think I hear Antipitas in the control room rattling some more switches. Give him a few minutes and see what he comes up with...

Al Norris · October 9, 2008, 08:07 AM

Yeah, I think I have all the levers and switches set in the right places.... (Mal stood over my shoulder, watching... I knew when I didn't have it right, as that dang collar he made me wear, um, "tingled" a might

)

If anyone has anymore problems, post it here, please.

I seem to have lost the URLs in my sig as being hot!

Evil is afoot!

**Mal H** · October 9, 2008, 05:40 PM

Not sure what you mean, Glenn. The links seem to be live. That wouldn't have been affected by the problem described here.

Hkmp5sd · October 9, 2008, 05:55 PM

His links do not appear live to me (can't click on them). I can see the URL /URL commands on each end. The links that Wildalaska has work fine.

Al Norris · October 9, 2008, 06:31 PM

Mal, it's the links in Glenn's sig. I noticed that earlier today. Went and tried to find the problem, without success.

Note that if you visit Glenn's profile, his sig looks as it should.

ETA: Looked in another area; pulled a lever and reset a valve. Should be fixed.

Double Naught Spy · October 9, 2008, 06:45 PM

Well I guess if y'all only have buttons and levers to push and throw, it must mean somebody is feeding the hamsters to keep the wheels turning at full speed. That is good!

Thank you! It looks like I can post pics now!

Mal....we read from left to right...on the keyboard, "e" is to the left of "i" and thence is typed first.....

Al Norris · October 9, 2008, 07:15 PM

OK kids... settle down or I'll be forced to see what that Big Red Button, with the skull and crossbones on it, does.... been wondering ever since Mal showed me this new room...

Double Naught Spy · October 9, 2008, 07:46 PM

NOOOOoooooo! Not the big red button.

The manual says you should never push the big red button unless all other buttons have failed...

Try the smaller blue button first.

grymster2007 · October 9, 2008, 08:22 PM

Running a ball-bar test, advancing the timing, adjusting the backlash, calibrating the rotary derder assembly????.... I dunno...

I had the same problem as DNS. I just emailed JohnKSa and he had me back in business in no time.

**Mal H** · October 9, 2008, 09:02 PM

Let me get this straight - you first push the little blue button, then you push the Big Red Bu........

**Mal H** · October 9, 2008, 09:05 PM

On a less serious note - I don't see any change in Glenn's sig links (in his post and in his profile). They look the same to me as they did this afternoon, and they were hot links then and still are now.

grymster2007 - When did you email John? Everyone should have been back to normal after Antipitas did his thang.

pax · October 9, 2008, 09:06 PM

Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!

(Mal - check logs in staff room...

)

**Mal H** · October 9, 2008, 09:09 PM

Logs? We don't need logs - it was almost 80 deg today!

grymster2007 · October 9, 2008, 10:02 PM

I emailed John on the seventh. Next day, all was well. Same issues, 'cept for the sig line. No email or PM in or out, couldn't find me on the members list. Could post, but contact functionality was gone. John was only TFL staffer I had email address for.

Y'all be careful with all them fancy gadget adjustments; you could create mini black holes and suck this universe into a different one.... Hey, maybe I'll be handsome AND smart there.... OK; odds are not so good...

Al Norris · October 9, 2008, 11:38 PM

In technicalize talk, here's what happened:

Dave created the new forum, but you had to have a special permission to post in it. So Dave also created the fizzbin permission. Then I activated the forum. Things were looking good.

Dave activated the first couple of members fizzbin permissions, so when I had some to activate, I looked at what he had done and copied it.

Then you folks could post in the new forum, but you started having problems. "Hmmm," says I. Well mal looked and found out that we had replaced your regular permissions with the fizzbin permissions. Mal said that, "No, no, guys. You add the fizzbin with regular, don't replace regular with fizzbin." OK, that sorta made sense. Like taking a tequila sunrise, only with Harvey wallbanger ingredients! (still with me here?)

So I went and turned everyone back into Sunrises... Then I made you all wallbangers. Some of you were stubborn, and it took a second shot of galiano to get your wall banging. Only... Now the siglines worked and didn't work. That is, I discovered that some worked and some didn't. So I went back into the bar and double checked that all your walls. Um, yup. Harvey was with all of you. Scratched my head and decided to make a gin and tonic and think about it. That was the ticket! I realized what the problem was.

So, I went back into the bar, opened up the jar of fizzbin and counted what was in it. Then I compared what was in the regular stuff... "Ah HAH!" I cried. Dave forgot the scorpion wings. And the little crawley do-dads. So I added an appropriate amount of little crawley do-dads and scorpion wings, recapped the jars and placed them back by the sunrises and wallbangers and, viola!

"By George! I think I have it," says I. (Still with me?) Well, you remember that um, button? You know, the big red one? That was for Singapore Slings. Didn't need that, on top of the sunrises, wallbangers and tonic. So I packed it back up too.

So, that's what happened. In technicalize. . . . hick!
