Is there a trader thread? I have tons of stuff i'd like to trade

[Luna]

it's not up and running yet

[JustJodi]

What sort of stuff do people plan to trade ??? But doesn't that mean home addresses are disclosed ??? Would like to know more about this as well :)

[samantha nixon]

it does mean home addresses will be told but it will be done through pm's and there is trader rating so if someone has a record of not sending then you dont trade with them and you can trade anything but the thing that will be probably traded the most is tv memrobillia

[CrazyLea]

i thought it would be done with a third party.. if you get me

[samantha nixon]

that was mentioned but it would take a lot eg postage money and stuff and you still cant 100% trust them

[CrazyLea]

yeah but its a bit more trustworthy than giving your address to a random person (im not saying any of you are weird or anything) but you never know

[shannisrules]

correct meif im wrong but when you get 1000 post you can pm people does that mean you can give ur msn addy out or can you still not?

[Luna]

you do get to pm people with 1000 posts - im not sure what the rules are with the email address - but your email address is avalible on your profile

[samantha nixon]

i no this probably isnt something for the mods but ive done everything to my pet and she wont go happy at all

[Behemoth]

i no this probably isnt something for the mods but ive done everything to my pet and she wont go happy at all Try Hats & Scarves.

Ask in the Petz thread, you'll probably find better help there.

[samantha nixon]

ive tried hats and scarves and ive asked in there and they just said hats and scarves and i dotn want her to die

[Abi]

The more you post, the happier it gets :)

[samantha nixon]

i was posting all night last night and she didnt get any higher

[Dutchgirl]

Try the massageparlour and babbling potion, works for mine all the time.

[Abi]

Thats what i was told anyway!

[Trinity]

Hats and scarves - lots of them, lol

[samantha nixon]

ive done it all already ill try again though

[Jessie Wallace]

You need to get it's health up, and then it will be happier.

[samantha nixon]

im trying but its not going up at all

[Jessie Wallace]

try skell-e-grow, and buy about 5 or 10 and see if it helps, i had a smiliar problems when my health was so low.

[samantha nixon]

ok thanks ill try that

[Abi]

I never knew that worked! Cool, thanks Dawn!

[Jessie Wallace]

Good glad it work for ya.

[samantha nixon]

i had an avator made for me ages by dawn which was animated which didnt work and now kim131 has made me an animated one and that doesnt work but they both work for dawn i can have normal avators but have never been able to have animated ones why cant i and everyone else can

[Luna]

it could be where you are hosting them i know that i cant host animated stuff in photobucket?? Oh wait you dont have to host avatars do you????

[samantha nixon]

no its fine were there uploaded

[Angeltigger]

What the little square under the money section for - they have different colours

[Luna]

it's your reputation

[Angeltigger]

it's your reputation

What that? :searchme:

[Luna]

i dont really know the ins and outs of it but i think it's how people rate you on the board??

[Angeltigger]

ok

[samantha nixon]

its if you get banned or do something wrong you get a warning or alert and if it comes to a certain amount it will then go red and say something like ....... can only hope to improve

[samantha nixon]

ive just tried to get another animated avator on here but that wont work either does anyone no why please help

[Angeltigger]

its if you get banned or do something wrong you get a warning or alert and if it comes to a certain amount it will then go red and say something like ....... can only hope to improve

Was that for my question- I mean the square that is green or black

if you get an alert it says 1 alert in red

[Siobhan]

Was that for my question- I mean the square that is green or black

if you get an alert it says 1 alert in red
if you put your mouse on it is say you are on a distingusted road

[Angeltigger]

And what does that mean?

[Siobhan]

And what does that mean?

no idea.. my one says the same.. I seen it somewhere before can't remember.. will do a search on the boards

[Luna]

Was that for my question- I mean the square that is green or black

if you get an alert it says 1 alert in red

The black one is if it has been disabled i know rach and jade have that

[CrazyLea]

something about you being good or something like id you havent been banned before... but i dunno

[Jessie Wallace]

I think it also has some thing to do with your repulation points, but i'm not sure. People don't really use it tho, well i do some times, but then i'm a little strange! lol

[Abi]

When people rate your posts, if you get loads of good ones, or nothing at all, then you stay green. If you get loads of bad ones, and loads of alerts and warnings, then it will eventually go red. Black means its been disabled. That means that you can't rate their threads, but only mods have that

thats how i understand things. Hope it helps :)

[Jade]

Thats it in a nutshell.

Thanks Abi

[Angeltigger]

How big can your Signature be

[Bad Wolf]

why???

[Jessie Wallace]

It tells you in the rules hun

[Angeltigger]

why???

I want to know if i can put writing with my banner

[samantha nixon]

yeah you can i have it and so do some other people

[Behemoth]

Banners and small text is fine (like you've got now) but not a banner and huge text!

[Angeltigger]

Thats what i was asking so thanks Samantha and Rob

[Abi]

Is mine ok?

[Behemoth]

Is mine ok? It looks a little big to me Abi but as there aren't any concrete rules I'm not sure.

[Angeltigger]

Is mine ok?
Have you had any warning about it

[Abi]

no, i'll try and reduce it though....

[Angeltigger]

You would get a warning if it was too big

[Angeltigger]

Do i need to have a certain number of posts to have a bank accont, like you need 500 for an banner. but if i don't than how do i get one

[Siobhan]

I am not sure.. I just set up my bank account when I got a Petz

[Behemoth]

I don't think there is a post limit. Click on 'Petz' near the top of the screen and then on 'Bank'.

[Angeltigger]

Do i need a pet to get a bank accont

[Behemoth]

I don't think so - I've got a bank account and haven't got a pet.

[Angeltigger]

Ok thanks

[Abi]

Is my sig too big then?

[Angeltigger]

It only too big if you get a warning

[Abi]

but just for common certosy. if they think its a bit big, but not warnable, i'll still change it

x

[samantha nixon]

i dont think its to big

[Abi]

ok, thanks x x

[Behemoth]

It is a little bit big Abi. It's just cos your banner is pretty wide.

[Abi]

ok, i'll go condense it a bit......

*condensing**

[CrazyLea]

why has my effect still not changed (changed it saturday)

[Behemoth]

why has my effect still not changed (changed it saturday) Are you using IE? or Firefox?

[CrazyLea]

IE but the effects have worked before.. but i really didnt like the one thats there right now so rach lent me money to change it... i changed it and it still the same

[Behemoth]

Oh right - so you've still got the same effect you had before?

[CrazyLea]

im getting confused lol but yeah i think so... this is what happened
1. too start with i had a name glow
2. felt like a change so went for mask
3. reallyyyyy didnt like it so got money for new one
4. changed it back to name glow
5. it hasnt arrived

i thought id write it like that to explain more better cause im crap at explaining

[Luna]

ive now bought a glow twice and nothings happened NB knows about the problem

[Behemoth]

I think that you can't override one effect with another.

[CrazyLea]

but i did before

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

This happenes to alot of people.. no one seems to be able to change and if they do they can't change into another one!!

[Chris_2k11]

As we've got a favourite character thread for each of the soaps, can we have one for the Brookside section aswell?? :searchme: I know it's not on anymore, but we could still vote! :)

[Angeltigger]

Is my banner too big

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Looks ok to me..

[Angeltigger]

Kool
i ment my sig not my banner

[Behemoth]

Looks fine to me :thumbsup:

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Kool
i ment my sig not my banner
Still looks fine to me :lol:

[melanielovesdennisrickman]

Hiya!!
I bought this name wave thing in the store,but ain't happy with it,and would like know if i could get rid of it,because my username isn't clear now.

Love
Melanie

[Behemoth]

You'll have to PM Norman Bates to see if he can remove it for you. Some people have been able to override their effects by buying another but it's not 100% guarenteed.

[Bad Wolf]

if you want the cash to change it - its no problem- just pm me with your account number

[Siobhan]

how do I paste picture into the forum??? I have a pic of my babies I would like to use as an Avatar but as they are local to my machine I can't get them made into an avatar here..

I can't paste the link in cause it won't work.. any suggestions???

[Angeltigger]

is it in a folder on your pc

[Behemoth]

Is the pic 80px x 80px?

Try hosting it using www.imageshack.us

[Abi]

Does anyone know of anywhere where you can scale down animated avatars, so that you can use them on here? i have a few i want to use, that are over the 80x80 limit, and i dunno how to scale down the animated ones so they do fit.

Animation shop 3, that's where i did Luna's Snape one for her

[Angeltigger]

Is my banner too big, if not than could i make it alittle bit bigger

[Jessie Wallace]

They are supposed to be like 524x124 some thing like that, i think. So yes, you can make it wider, but it's probably a bit to high. But that only how i see the rules on banners!

[Siobhan]

I have just turned Pink..which I like and suits my name, I know that is for 2000 posts but what do all the other colours mean?? this may have been answered before and I did a search and so much information came up.. tried to look for an complete answer.. Can the mods tell me????

[Angeltigger]

blue mean under 500
blue is 1,000
pink is 2,000
light pink is 3,00

if that what you are asking

[Trinity]

NB has said previously that there is a colour change for each prime number i.e 1, 2, 3, 5. I don't kknow if he stuck to that or not?

I think that dark purple is 5000

[Siobhan]

blue mean under 500
blue is 1,000
pink is 2,000
light pink is 3,00

if that what you are asking

yeah that is what I was asking.. cheers... so it has just to do with number of post and not if you are a mod or something

[Angeltigger]

Well if it is green than it a mod- but rob is not green

[Trinity]

yeah that is what I was asking.. cheers... so it has just to do with number of post and not if you are a mod or something

Although the mods do have special colours

Green - senior mod - Rach & Jade

Dark pinky reddy colour - mod - Rob and BB

Red - NB

[Siobhan]

Thank you Tigs and Trinity

[Angeltigger]

Your welcome- glad i could help

[Abi]

Animation shop 3, that's where i did Luna's Snape one for her

is there any other "none installing" places that i could use? Maybe on the internet?

[Jessie Wallace]

is there any other "none installing" places that i could use? Maybe on the internet?

I don't know of any. You can send them to me via msn, and i'll do it is for you if you like?

[di marco]

plain blue - less than 500 posts
light puple - 500 posts
bold blue - 1000 posts
dark pink - 2000 posts
bright pink - 3000 posts
dark purple - 5000 posts
green - super mods
pinky purple - mod
red - nb (and other admin i think)
browny orangey colour - like cilla black and aunt sally etc

and i think after 500 all the posts, like trinity said, the colour changes go in the prime numbers

[Angeltigger]

[di marco]

2,000 post is Dark pink and light pink is 3,000

oh yeh sorry ill change it

[di marco]

someone i noticed was black the other day too?

[Angeltigger]

who?

[Jessie Wallace]

Black is when your banned, or have a temporary ban.

[Angeltigger]

Is temporary ban when you are banned for 3 days

[Jessie Wallace]

Is temporary ban when you are banned for 3 days

Warning limit before being banned: 5 points. Initial banning period: 3 days

[di marco]

Black is when your banned, or have a temporary ban.

oh right ok thanks, wondered if it was something like that

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

View all types of warning for different things here (http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings) :)

[Dutchgirl]

Viewed types of banning do not understand how it works, if you do something that is not allowed do you get an alert?

[Abi]

most of the time, yes

[Abi]

Is there a limit on how big your whole signiture can be (including banners, text and other random things)? If there isn't, then there should be, cause recently some of them have got really big (e.g. half the page)

[Jessie Wallace]

Yes there is a size for banners, but some people get away with it, and the size of everything else is at the discretion of the mods. But yes i agree it should be limited to a couple of lines of something, coz there getting annoyinly big!

[CrazyLea]

lol like mine :p but yeah i got a bit carried away

[Jessie Wallace]

lol like mine :p but yeah i got a bit carried away

Bunch it topgether a bit, and it won't look as big, like abi has, if you see what i mean?

[Abi]

It wasn't you i was thinking of :)

I mean, i wouldn't mind if someone said to me "Look- its too big, can be reduce the size of your sig?" (That rhymes!!). I'm sure other people wouldn't mind either.... it just gets very annoying after a while when so many people have them that are, like, double my size

[Behemoth]

I usually do an alert if it's twice the size of a regular banner. Say they have a normal banner but then massive text under it or tonnes of lines of text that makes the whole sig twice the size of the banner, I do an alert.

[Abi]

Well one person on here has had a sig thats double the size of most people for ages now...

[Behemoth]

Well one person on here has had a sig thats double the size of most people for ages now... PM me their name.

[Jessie Wallace]

What about banners, and one of those ticker things?

[Behemoth]

What about banners, and one of those ticker things? Depends how big it is really. I don't actively go round looking for big banners but if it's big enough for me notice it when scrolling a page then it's usually too big!

[Abi]

Thats annoying too!!! Especially when people have text as well..... grrr

[Jessie Wallace]

Banner and two lines or tickers and two line's is plenty. Maybe it's just me, i hate having to scroll down the page to see things, and across the page when banners are too wide! I'm hoping that this isn't a sign that i'm getting old and moaning! lol

[Jessie Wallace]

Depends how big it is really. I don't actively go round looking for big banners but if it's big enough for me notice it when scrolling a page then it's usually too big!

You make me laugh Rob,come on sure that's all you do go around looking for banner that are too big! lol

[hippychick215]

hi i was just wondering why do you have to have 500 posts before you can have a banner, it seems a bit odd and a lot. why cant you have banners when you first post on theis site

[Luna]

because so many people were stacking ther banners the 500 posts rule was put in

[samantha nixon]

as they think more people will respect the rules if they have a lot of posts

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I love your signature Rob :rotfl:

[di marco]

I love your signature Rob :rotfl:

yeh me too spicy lol! :D

[Abi]

Me too, it rocks!! My banner is now fully edited to within a siutable size of yours (in my opinion).

Maybe you should add somewhere about not having so mucht ext beneath/above the sig? Not on that banner, but on another Mod's sig maybe? Just a suggestion, because sometimes the amount of text people put on beneath a good sized banner makes the whole signiture balloon.

yeh i agree abi, most peoples banners are ok but the size of the sig is big cos they have about 10 lines of text!

[Abi]

Maybe another mod oculd have something below their banner saying "This is the amount of text that should appear under your banner. Any more and its too much, and you should condense it". Another one could have two stacked banners, with one being like Robs saying "You cannot do this as its called stacking banners, and is against the rules"

yeh that would be so cool if they all did that :)

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

:rotfl: See the purple and green mods for more details :p

[Abi]

lol, yeah Spicy!!!..........

I think it would work, and it would make everything a lot more cleaner looking. Its just an idea anyway, if hte mods dont like it, then fair do's.

[Behemoth]

Thanks guys!! I'd do the text thing but I dunno how much is the limit. Hmmmm....I'll give it a go anyway.

[di marco]

Thanks guys!! I'd do the text thing but I dunno how much is the limit. Hmmmm....I'll give it a go anyway.

erm i dunno, id say maybe 3 lines?

[Abi]

Yeah, what you got is about right i reckon. I dont think there is an actual rule about the amount of writing beneath in your signiture, but that seems alright, dont it?

[di marco]

i love your new sig rob! :)

[Abi]

Yeah, thats what i was trying (but kind of failing) to explain. Its great :)

[chance]

do you have to own a pet to use your money in the store to change the look of your name etc?

[Luna]

nope i dont have one and ive changed the look of my name and stuff

[willsmummy]

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere else.

How do you use the shoutbox? I am probably being incredibly dim and showing that I am a bit of a dinosaur where these things are concerned, but I think I have enough posts etc, but I have no clue of how to use it!

Thanks in advance x

[CrazyLea]

did you reach 150 tonight? if you did then it should activate pretty soon.. wait a couple of hours and see if it appears xx

[willsmummy]

Yes I did. Thanks for your reply. I'll keep an eye out. Will it be obvious?

[willsmummy]

Just answered my own question!!!!!!!! Ta

[Dutchgirl]

I have a warning post yesterday it was 3 points and now it is 6 points but it does not apear on view your warnings.

And concerning the warning I tried to put up a banner and did not know it would automatiacally show on the first post. I tried and did not see it apear at first.

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

How long does an alert last for?... I mean like the red thing.. which shows up in every post...

[Jade]

How long does an alert last for?... I mean like the red thing.. which shows up in every post...

Yep I think we know what the are Spicy, yours was given on 21 December and is valid for two weeks...

[samantha nixon]

no one can else see youre alert and they stay forever

[Jade]

no one can else see youre alert and they stay forever

moderators and admins can see them as well

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Yep I think we know what the are Spicy, yours was given on 21 December and is valid for two weeks...
Two weeks.. not long now :D

[CrazyLea]

is 2 weeks the same with all alerts? and does that mean... although theyre still on my posts after the limit, that it doesnt count? if that makes sense..

[Behemoth]

I don't think the record of the alert ever goes, as in the writing "Alerts: ?" will always be there but the alerts expires so it's no longer worth anything.

[Dutchgirl]

I have a warning post yesterday it was 3 points and now it is 6 points but it does not apear on view your warnings.

Has not been answered yet?

[Jade]

Has not been answered yet?

You havent got any warnings

[Dutchgirl]

So what does last reputation received means, it says 6 points and a red square? Do not mean to be a hassle or anything.

[di marco]

So what does last reputation received means, it says 6 points and a red square? Do not mean to be a hassle or anything.

reputation points are what other members can give you once theyve read your posts

[Dutchgirl]

Oh I'm sad now. Did not know you could rate others!

[di marco]

Oh I'm sad now. Did not know you could rate others!

yeh at the top of each post theres like a symbol of some scales and if you click on it you can give reputation points to people. dont be sad, im sure youve got some good ones too :)

[Dutchgirl]

Aw bless! You're nice!

[di marco]

Aw bless! You're nice!

awwwww thanks :)

[Abi]

I thought that people weren't allowed to advertise their own forums/websites etc in their signiture. Am i wrong, someone is, and everyone who has had something saying "Aprroved by nb" or something like that. Am i talking nonsense again?

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

No that's true hun... as far as I know :)

[Jade]

I thought that people weren't allowed to advertise their own forums/websites etc in their signiture. Am i wrong, someone is, and everyone who has had something saying "Aprroved by nb" or something like that. Am i talking nonsense again?

No thats correct, (as far as I know) who's put advertising their own forum?

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Maybe you should PM their name to Jade..

[Abi]

Yeah, i'll PM you, so i dont have to announce it to everyone, if you get my drift....

[samantha nixon]

how do you find out whethere anyone had rated your posts

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Click User CP and then scroll down to reputation points..

[Abi]

Alright, sent it Jade....

[samantha nixon]

[di marco]

ive only got the swap shop thing wrote so does that mean i got 11 points for that or other stuff aswell

[samantha nixon]

[di marco]

3 are green out of 5.. and one of the 2 grey ones have a title Shannis Hater so... :rotfl:

ive got one grey one from a linking game just cos someone said viv slater and i said dead!

I dont think anyone really knows, TBH. I dont think its 11 people, because it would be very unlikly that 28 people would like my posts :rotfl:

[di marco]

so does that mean 11 people done it im confused (it dont take much)

i dont know, i dont understand how it works either

Click on the little scales on the very top left of any post. It says something like i approve/disapprove, you choose which, and can leave a comment.

yeh i know how to do it, just saying i havent ever done it and just wondered if many people did or not

[Abi]

Oh right, sorry! x x

[di marco]

Oh right, sorry! x x

dont matter :)

[Abi]

I think a few people do it, but not many know how it works or anything, so its not exactly popular.

[Abi]

Dont want to step on anyones shoes here, but maybe the "winners" thread could be unstuck, seeing as we can't post in it anymore :)

[xxvikkixx]

Hey sorry if this is already on here somewhere but do i need a certain amount of posts to go on the shout box? if not where do i type my messages in :S?

[Abi]

yeah, you need 150 posts to be able to shout anything. Then a box will just come up for you to type in.

Not long left now though, only 30 posts!

[xxvikkixx]

Thank you :) lol thought I was gonna look proper strange asking that then and that it was in a really obvious place :P, but like ya say only about another 30 posts lol :) xxx

since its the new year any chance that i can get my warning and alert moved from my name. I know that they are both unactivated but i have served my penance and i didn't break the rules intentionally. So pretty pretty please can you remove them xxx ccc

I know that they are both unactivated but i have served my penance and i didn't break the rules intentionally. So pretty pretty please can you remove them xxx ccc As far as I know, Mods can only de-activate the warnings, not completely erase them; you'd need NB to do that.

[Chloe O'brien]

Hi rob spoke to some SB members on shoutbox while asking NB if he could remove the warnings. Anyway I was told that they don't get offically moved and only me and mods can see them. So I aplogise for any confusion cause as i thought that all SB members could see them under my post whenever i posted a comment but if no one else can see them then that's fine. Thanks for the help anyway xxx

I have been a member of soapboards for quite a while now...but only a week or so into my subscription, I had the internet taken off at home! Now that I have it back I am as addicted as I ever was before!! I feel that had I not had the internet disconnected (due to no fault of my own) I would have reached 500 posts by now...as I am hooked on SoapBoards. All I want is the chance to put my Deano banner up but I can't until I have a signature. I'm asking Norman Bates if he could please make an exception. If you have the time could you please even read a few of the fantasy scripts that I have written (Mad Maya and Killer Karen) as I think they show my dedication to contributing to the SoapBoards website. I ask not for any of the other priviliges that come with the 500 posts....only the signature. Please consider it.

Many Thanks,
Chris (Tina_Freeze89)

Hmm. Strange one this. I'm not one for making exceptions, and I don't want to set a precedent. Let me see how your postings go

[alan45]

Without wanting to appear to poo on anyones parade I think the rules should be the same for everyone as regards posting levels for signatures and pms. In saying that posts which just say yea or lol should not be counted

[Meh]

Actually, that was on my todo list.

[tina_freeze89]

In fairness....I haven't posted anything like "yea" or "lol" lately....or ever, at least I don't recollect! I appreciate that you feel that the rules should be the same for everybody but the difference is, some people are genuine and others are not. I would like to show you that I am genuine and I am just agitated by the fact that I know I would have had well over 500 posts by now! I was rarely off the website and now that I have the internet back, I'm hooked again. Please try and make just one exception. Call it a late gift from St.Nick! Thank you please! (Hehe i like that saying)

[alan45]

Actually, that was on my todo list.
Oh dear I can think of someone who will lose about 2000 posts at a stroke :rotfl:

[tina_freeze89]

Oh dear, what would that leave you with then? 71? Haha just kidding! Well at least you have over 2000 posts to have wiped...:-(

[alan45]

I worked very hard to build up my number of posts :p

i don't think he meant you. But it is to reach 500 posts on the forums without spamming them

[tina_freeze89]

I doubt not that you did! Good for you! Well as much as I'm enjoying the banter...I have my AS level Maths module C1 paper in precisely 24 hours so I shall bid the forum adieu! Hope my threads will have blossomed by tomoro afternoon. Enjoy xx

[tina_freeze89]

Did I say 24? I meant 12! (dont worry norman dont count that as a post (tehehe))

[tina_freeze89]

Mr Bates (Tehe), just before I enter the land of nod, I just remembered, my pet, Nicky, is in battle with another dog and has been for about 24 hours...Nicky still hasn't had his turn to battle...the other player has logged on but is not responding....even though the dogs are in battle! What do you suggest? Because I can't even buy poor Nicky any food without surrendering!

I think you know who I meant. Sorry Tina if you thought I meant you :)

[tina_freeze89]

No don't worry...wouldn't be the first time i've had a misunderstanding lol...i'm permanently confused...no need to apologise

[Dutchgirl]

So how do you change the colors or textstyle of your name?

[Jade]

So how do you change the colors or textstyle of your name?

You buy the effects from the petz shop. Your name changes colour depending on your post count

[Dutchgirl]

[Angeltigger]
