Title: 2 things
Post by: TopAce on July 26, 2003, 06:35:17 pm
I have two questions for mostly the admis and moderators:

1. What's the difference between 'Sending a Private Message' and 'Using Private Messaging system'?

2. I have seen at the 'Who's online' page, that a Guest is replying to a post. How can it be?

Probably I could figure them out, just correct me if it is not there:

1. Using Private Messaging system is when I am reading my Private Messages, and Sending a PM is when I am writing:

2. That Guest is a registered one, only he checked the 'hidden' flag at his profile.

But there is one more thing:

Today, I could access to the Internal Forum of a forum, I don't know which that was already. I haven't touched anything there, I just find it strange that how could it be.

I think you're right.

EDIT: As for the Internal Access. I'm pretty sure you can access any of them if you know what to type in the address bar. Just don't spoil the project's surprises for yourself.

No, they still require a proper login that they recognize. It's just that the system's taken care of basically at the same rate as the main page, and even if it weren't there are enough people here that the admins won't notice the holes until they're pointed out.

Um, the internal is most likely OTT's. If you read the main forum, you'd know why.

If it's not OTT's, then there are permission issues with your account, unless you are working for somene that we and yourself don't know of.

PM me with the details, will you? We've been having this kind of problem off and on for ages.

No. A Guest is an unregistered user. And although they'll have gotten a "You need to register to post" message, it still counts as replying to a post.

Hidden people don't show up at all (bar a few exceptions).

If HAL and SHODAN were in a chess match against each other, who would win?

Hal.

Neither. Hal would just sit there thinking "this is a really boring, if well-directed film", and Shodan'd be playing with some green gunky stuff in the Biolabs, thus being far too busy to play chess.

:nervous:

Honestly said it reached me unexpected that I received a Star Wars avatar. But you have it, too!
