Help from the Admins, and a question for the technically-gifted
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have posted the first thread of The Palantír http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?post=337139;sb=post_time;so=DESC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed; from my home computer, which for some reason cannot show diacritics, nor does it allow me to edit my profile.
So I had to ask a friendly mod to add diacritics (thanks, Ataahua!), and now, before posting the second thread, I have managed to update my signature.
So could another friendly mod change the signature on the first post as well? Is this possible? Thank you!
And does anyone know what might block the profile editing feature, and how may I edit it from now on?
Of course, every Feedback thread has its own hidden agenda.  And my agenda is not to have another pun thread, but rather to announce that the second thread is up. All and sundry are invited!
"In some ways, this chapter is more like the first chapter of Book V, rather than the last chapter of Book III. The first part of Book V is now set, with Gandalf on his way to Minas Tirith, and Aragorn in possession of the palantír, ready for the vital show-down with Sauron, which will set up the West's final strategy against the Dark Lord."
- Malbeth.
"The chapter ends as Gandalf rides with Pippin towards Minas Tirith, partially lost in his memories of the West; Pippin in a semi-dream as Shadowfax gallops. And there we leave them, to go back several days to Frodo and Sam."
- Eledhwen.
"We know why Gandalf is imparting so much information here: so we understand the set-up for the third book to come. It gives an urgency to our reading and whets our appetite for 'the tower of Denethor' and the purple slopes of 'Mindolluin'."
- Chip of Dale.
What do you think? How do you feel this chapter prepares for those chapters yet to come?
And of course, a more important question:
"What is the boiling point of a palantír in a vacuum?"

Admins can only edit the actual content of posts; not the signatures that go with them. Superusers may be able to do so though, I"m not sure. We'll have to wait for them to chime in.

We can only deleted them. So, let us know if you'd like that sig deleted from that particular post.
I've never heard of someone not being able to edit their profile before, but it sounds like something specific to your home computer or the internet browser you use there, neither of which we'd be able to fix on our end.
What happens when you try to edit your profile at home?

No, don't delete the signature beneath that post.
Regarding your question - once this week is over, I will try again from home, and check exactly what happens.
