General Q & A #16

@ cannibal.

I'm not sure what they have other than ears...what you could do is look at the sensitive ears ones and see what they're made of, then search for that. Is there another piercing place you can purchase from in your area?

@ wordix
Thank you! That's really helped me out.

@ lonely girl.
I'm glad!

@ Aightball
Thank you, that's what I'm going to do. There is but I don't trust them. I went there twice for tattoos a couple years ago because they were cheaper but everything was sketchy and unprofessional. They didn't appear to be very safe so I didn't want to risk them piercing me as well. Getting the tattoos was risky enough.

Does anyone else have problems with messaging people on here? Whenever I try to send a private message, nothing happens when I hit submit. :

@ This.Useless.Heart.

It's been a site wide problem for quite some time now, so I think it's something everyone's dealing with. I try right-clicking Send Message and opening that link in a new tab, and though it still takes some time, my PMs eventually go through.

@ bellamy blake
Thanks, I'll try that and see if it works.

@ This.Useless.Heart.
Whenever I have to send a message, I press submit and then open up a new tab and do whatever in that one. After about five minutes I switch to the one I sent the message in and it's normally gone through. I'd recommend trying that. I find it always works for me (though not always in five minutes - I can sometimes have it open for ten minutes).

@ Alicia Alarcon
Oh, okay, so it's kinda like submitting a message on the forums then? I wasn't sure since my computer doesn't even look like it's even trying to load anything when I hit submit on private messages, but yeah, thanks, I will try that.

@ This.Useless.Heart.
When I press submit for a message, it never looks like I actually have but after about five minutes in a different tab it sends so I don't go by appearance. But I never have the same problem on the forums.

Nevermind.

Why is Mibba so slow at times? :( Is there anything that we can do to improve it?

@ deschanel
I do believe it's mainly the server capacity filling up, and us being unable to get rid of stuff / buy more space (that's more of a Dujo thing). We can't really do anything, just limit irrelevant stuff (like how staff are cracking down on people who post photos which don't include them and such).
But at least it's slow and not down.

@ lonely girl.
Ah, I see. Thanks! :) xx

Does anyone know the rules for taking pills on a plane? They're doctor prescribed and I need them if I want to function properly. I tried looking online but I'm getting mixed results. My mom told me I couldn't bring them in my carry on but I'm worried about them getting lost with my luggage if that happens.

@ cannibal.
They're just solid pills, not liquids so you'll be just fine. I take OTC motion sickness medication and just leave it in my carry on backpack for TSA screening. I don't have any problems with TSA when I bring the tablets. See here for more information as well.

@ kitsch
THANK YOU

I have a weird question.

There's a term in the field of linguistics that talks about a language that two people use when they speak different main languages. For example - person 1 speaks german, person 2 speaks french, but person 1 and 2 speak english. There's a word for that language that they use to communicate with each other, but I can't remember what it is. Anyone know?

It's not really important, I just remember reading it on wikipedia a few months ago and now I can't remember it.

@ Name Of Misery.
It's a lingua franca.

@ lonely girl.
Thank you! It was bothering me that I couldn't remember it.
