Forum thinks new friend is a bot?

@Blue Demon un-nuked
Sorry bout that. GuildBot thought it was a bot based on the IPs.

Name Change?

All done.

Hi do I just jump into a story??

Hey and welcome.

You can start by having a look or creating an interest check to find an RP you may like. Think of them like an advertisement board. Once you have enough interest you should be able to start up an actual RP. Your welcome PM should hold some additional info and links for newcomers.

Need thread deleted

@vancexentan all sorted.

Posting Inquiry

@Soul Sweaper I assume you are talking about the Fire Emblem/Dark Souls RP you posted? That should probably have been in the 1x1 section rather than Advanced. (Since moved over)

Generally speaking, you shouldn't really have any need to post the same content twice. There are a few exceptions including: reposting characters in another part of the thread (ooc/ic), reposting drafts from a test thread into a full RP, and multiple interest checks.

The only interest checks that are a given may be an additional one in the General Interest Check board as that's like a overall check section, but occasionally people may do some other things to advertise their RPs better.

Because you're still new I'd be wary of double posting for a while as you may get picked up by the spam check system and accidentally nuked. It's an easy fix, but it's something that can cause a bit of an annoyance if you didn't expect it.

A Name Change Please

First, will changing my name affect any of my posts or PMs? If not, please change my name to Rhea. It's not taken!

@Rhys Wind

Just replying before doing the update but Rhea is available, and no it wont affect any PMs as they will reassign to your new username. Would you still like the change?

Mobile Site Not Working

@NuttsnBolts
Interesting. I have never had this problem until now. I have always blocked cookies to free up space, and until now that has never been a issue; as soon as I allowed cookies it loaded perfectly fine. WTF

Thanks for the help.

@Master Crim

That's cool!

So for a bit of trivia, a cookie is a file that will store data on a pc (eg: chosen languages, login sessions, clicked links, shopping carts, etc). They are designed to track all your information so when you return to a site your preferences are still the same. As cookie sizes can only be so much some sites will choose to use third party cookies that will store a user ID on your computer and store information on their servers with the cookie linking that unique ID to said information.

The Guild uses the former for how it operates and it helps limit the information that it needs to store on the server itself. It helps speed up loading times as your computer has cashed much of the information already and, in theory, the only information it needs to store server side is the posts and the last time you logged in. There's no need for a third party cookie as it's a simple site unlike Ebay or Amazon which has so much information it needs to remember.

While blocking cookies can help prevent issues like those pesky ads and sites gathering what you selected in searches, it can create the issue of where you will notice some sites where you always have to re-select preferences or will take longer to load because it's treating you like a new user every time.

Mobile Site Not Working

@Master Crim
Not allowing cookies may be the issue as the site relies on cookies to remember your login session.
