heyy i just want to know how do you put a picture in the story layouts (page editor) ??...because i put in the url in the backround image section and it won't show up.

Use the direct link and it should show up.

what are collections?

^ They're what about supposed to be used for one-shots for the new mibba.
Right now you can only submit them, though.
Everything about them isn't all that clear at the moment.
I'm sure everything will be with the new mibba though.

My story has an error and no one will tell me what it is. It no longer appears on the stories page. What do I do?

Okay, so I'm trying to put a banner I made for my story in the summary and it isn't working at all! What am I doing wrong? Cos' when I go to edit it I put in this:

[img]http://xmemoriex.buzznet.com/user/photos/you-told-me-this-gets/?id=47921381[/img]

and when I check to see if it worked the picture doesn't show but just the url above.

Right click the picture and click 'copy image location'.
Then past that in the area.
You need the direct link, not the URL of the page the image is on.

IT WORKED! (of course it would) Thank you so much. I was going crazy over this. :D

Can I ask: how do people lock topics?
:)

Only mods and admins can lock topics when they break the board rules. I usually use my magic wand but...

we can also click that button.

You have the option of deleting topics? :cheese:

What does it mean by repair?

I think, don't quote me, but a former mod told me once that if a topic link somehow isn't working for Mibba as a whole or if the post count is wrong from the actual post count, you can click repair and it fixes it.

^ Correct.

Repair just updates the topic basically. So if for some reason you hit submit and it takes you back to the first page of the thread it'll fix that (I think..:think:), or if a post is deleted and the post count is wrong, etc, then it'll fix it.

It just updates it basically. :shifty

Okay, thanks! :cute:

I've got another question too. Under what circumstances does one have to delete a topic? Because I thought the topics just got locked. :think:

They do just get locked.

But we're also meant to clean up the forums. We chose forums a while ago that we were to be in charge of where we delete locked topics and fix up thread titles, etc. ..I generally just wait a few weeks or something then go around deleting locked threads if I'm bored.

Dujo is able to delete all locked threads in one go. :weird

But anyway, threads are deleted when they're no longer needed. If it's some pointless stupid thread I might lock then delete it straight away. But some threads that are locked need to be kept 'cause they're useful for people to reference to. :shifty

That must a lot of fun. Dujo obviously has the force in his grasp/the one click button. :XD

Thanks, that clears it up. :arms:

Wow fun XD
Times like these I want to be a moderator/admin
but I'm such a mibba n00b and my story sucks :P

I've got another question too. Under what circumstances does one have to delete a topic? Because I thought the topics just got locked. :think:

When someone creates an account for the purpose of spamming something (advertising links) it's immediately deleted, or if someone accidentally submits a thread twice, stuff like that.

^Thanks Kurtni! You guys pretty much have the site all sorted out. :cute:

Thanks again. :arms:

I have a rather stupid question...

Ok, so everytime I want to update my story, I keep forgetting how to. Where do I go to add new chapters? I used to be able to fing it after searching a little but I'm stuck this time. A little help please?!
