Oh man, I was so confused, I couldn't figure out what y'all were talking about. I forgot I did that. When I did it, I was just playing around to see what all I could do, any way I didn't intend to leave it up there, I just wanted to see what it would look like, but I guess I didn't get it deleted. 23 minutes ago, The Bird Nuts said: It also says, "...has some great info telling you what all information we need!" Now I understand I am from the south, and that my English is horrifying, but what is wrong with that sentence? Also, since it is up there should I leave it? I don't care one way or the other, I never see it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Since you asked, "..telling you the information..." or " ...what information...", sez another Suthahnuh. Edited February 26, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good to have a banner that directs the newcomers to the right places. Although, right now it goes away once you sign in.

aveschapinas Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I agree, "what all" was perfectly clear to me, but since some of you were confused I'm guessing it's not universally used (I grew up in Maryland). But since it's not clear to everyone, it makes sense to change it. And while this is a case when it's OK to offer corrections for typos and grammar, we still need to be polite, and remember that we aren't going to be correcting each other in the forums. (Just a gentle reminder not to go wild...) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it too, and we COULD add another announcement at the top of the page, but I feel like that gets annoying real fast, and I think the two we already have are important! Another option would be a pinned post, probably in the NA ID sub-forum since that's where everyone goes first, but too many of those can be a nuisance too. What does everyone think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like pinned posts as well as announcements would get overlooked; I tend to not notice them. I noticed Kevin's intro banner thing right away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay I changed it to "telling you what information we need" Hopefully that takes care of any regional differences. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 For what little it's worth, from here up north I know it's a regionalism but couldn't begin to tell you when it is and isn't grammatical. So if I saw it I could read it fine but I couldn't possibly use it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely use it, but I heard it all the time growing up so that makes it easier! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take it away... Take it, leave it; it doesn't matter to me. The same information is available by clicking 'Online Users' at the top. I was mostly interested in how long I'd been overlooking it. It sounds like it wasn't long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Is anyone else having trouble uploading photos. I had trouble for a few days but was eventually able to get photos to upload. Then things were okay for a week or so and now I'm having trouble again. I 'm getting this error message: Sorry, an unknown server error occurred when uploading this file. (Error code: -200) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinHood Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) I had a problem early today (about 7.00 Eastern) trying to post the GWTE photo, tried different methods but it hung up for ages, eventually succeeded. Never experienced this before. Edited March 6, 2022 by RobinHood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
