Questions and Answers (Q&A)

Not unless it's been around long enough to show up in one of my backups of the server database. Unfortunately, I make those fairly infrequently, so if you made that list any time sooner than a few weeks or a month ago or more, it's probably gone.  If you let me know what post it was in, though, I can look anyway and see if anything's there.

I think it's about a month old. Here's a url.

This... 

So does that mean the system that recovers our posts if we lose connection or something is off, or that it doesn't recover older posts?

Well, what're you referring to by "the system that recovers our posts"?

Once a post's been edited, there's no recovering it before that I know of, besides the backup database that I mentioned.

[Hickory]

Fatch: James didn't explicitly say that it recovers our posts, he said that he might be able to find it from one of the server back ups. It's equivalent to backing up a device to iCloud or such. It's moe like the WayBack machine than anything else.

(hope I worded that right)

Why has the anonymous posting function been done away with?

[James Gryphon]

It wasn't. It's still available on one board.

[Delthion]

The forum games?

Someone mentioned a problem with going back more than the first page on the mentions tab. It's still happening, at least for me, no matter what I do (accessing through the profile tab, or going straight through the mentions tab, opening the link in an entirely new browser tab, etc.)

I'll keep experimenting and come back if you haven't found a solution, or diagnosed the problem.

Would it be possible to restore anonymous posting to the Cellars?

I never actually got around to doing anything about that, hence why it's still broken. I put it on my to-do list, though, so hopefully I'll remember to get to it sooner rather than later.

Would it be possible to restore anonymous posting to the Cellars?

Well, of course it'd be possible. Personally, though, I don't see a good reason to do so. The anonymous posting thing is on Forum Games so that members can play games where they feel the purpose is better-served by members not knowing who each other are, or being able to PM each other. I don't see that it serves a constructive purpose in the Cellars, now that the masquerade (which was a sort of game anyway) is over.

[Delthion]

Okay. I just want to do something that requires the Anonymous feature.

1. Who was fenzhou?
2. What was their topic about?
3. What happened to them?

I'm guessing SPAMbot?
