Help! What Happened?
i had not been online for a while. now i log in at msworld and find a link to everyone here???????
what happened at that site??
I have alot of trouble with this site because i cannot read what I am tryping. teeny, teeny font that won't change.
help.
JOE1:confused:

What happened there? Mass anarchy.

:rolleyes:

I guess we weren't grown up enough to have pm's there. So we did what all grown ups do - threw a hissy fit, hid toads in the teacher's drawer, and left.

:D

I wonder if they took the pm's away because people were saying not-so-nice things about the admin staff and they were reading them, but not able to admit they were reading them and confront the people who were saying them? Bet that twisted some knockers.

Say what? You didn't know the mods were reading your pms? Oh heck yes.

:eek:

Nice, huh?

Which is why I didn't want to send anyone my addy, real or email, at that site. Who needs the whole mod team knowing where ya live when some of em have a grudge against you?

Hi Joe

What browser are you using? You should be able to change the font you are using at the top of the text box where it shows the font size in the little box with the number in it. Unless you are using the quick reply box at the bottom of the page.

Let us know if you are still having problems. There are several different styles that you can choose from for your "look" by selecting your choice in the drop down menu in the bottom left hand corner. The default may be what you are experiencing problems with. Try using Blue Default and see if this helps.

Experiment with the different choices of skins and see if you find one that suits your style. You have a total of 7 choices! Some like the default style, some like blue default, some like chestnut, etc.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact one of the moderators by clicking on our names at the bottom of the page!

Welcome to NT! ;)

Hi,
Glad you found us!

OK, I WILL KEEP TRYING HERE.
INOTICED AT MSWORLD, ONE OF MY POSTS ON A THREAD ABOUT UNIVERSAL CARE WAS FOLLOWED BY A MODERATOR'S WARNING!!??
BASICALLY, PLAY NICE AND DON'T ARGUE.
IS THAT WHAT PROMPTED THIS? WHEN DID THE RULES CHANGE?
NEW FUNDING FROM A SPONSOR WITH WEIGHT PULLING THE STRINGS?
IT HAS BECOME QUITE COMMERCIAL OVER 8 YEARS I HAVE BEEN THERE.
aN ADVERTISEMENT WEBSITE BUT I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR FUNDING.
THANKS FOR THE INFO.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A ;SKIN' IS, SO I MAY NOT BE BACK HERE FOR A WHILE.
JUSTCAN'T SEE THIS TYPE.
I USE MSN.COM BROWSER. I THINK.

Try going into your "User CP" (User control panel) and choose "Edit Options." At the very bottom of that screen it allows you to select different styles, choose the one you want and click save. If you already tried that, try selecting the style according to the instructions in the Announcement (at the top of every forum).

I hope this helps you Joe. "Skins" are the different backgrounds you type on for the text box look.

Brain, as a former mod at MSWorld I feel I need to defend myself and others there. I probably should just ignore this but just can't and if anyone feels I don't belong here let me know.

I was going to do it in a PM here but didn't want to be accused of harassment via PM so here I am out in the open.

I never read anyone's PMs over there, some of us did not have the access to do that and still don't. I would have never read them even if I could have unless there had been a complaint.

I honestly feel that PMs were not taken away because of any bad things that were said about volunteer staff, I think Kat (MSWorld president) didn't want to expose members to any solicitation or harassment. Part of this decision might have come because of the sponsors and affiliation with NMSS. There were members and staff that disagreed with her decision but I don't think she plans on keeping the PM option open too much longer.

I hope to stay away from this subject in the future but I do take exception when someone lumps all "mods" together and I guess I don't know of any of the mods that read PMs just to read them. If you have proof please PM me and let me know the proof. Otherwise I stand beside each and every "mod" that volunteered while I was a volunteer. We are human, we made mistakes but we are not the fiends you seem to want to make us out to be.

Sorry, NT, didn't mean to air dirty laundry but I wish NT members could leave MSW behind and just enjoy your friends and freedom here w/o bad mouthing others.

Thanks and I apologize if I stepped on toes and I understand if this post has to be removed.

:I-Agree: Well said Sassy.
