Welcome to the Den, mylaughingplace. Let me direct your attention to the rules of this forum to find out why this thread is locked. See "Important: READ BEFORE POSTING" at the top.

like offtopic and help
These 2 (like all others) are still available. Add reply, click on the smiley and then "Show all emoticons"

Will we get the brain den smilies back?
Which ones in particular? The smilies have not changed.

i keep getting loged out when I am away from the site for more then 30 or so minut is that normal?
Enabling cookies might help. And in the help topics, there might be other answers that you are looking for.

Ok, thank you anyway.
I have another question. It says something about the new "conversations" being searchable, does that mean anyone can find them? Or just the people that are involved in them and perhaps deleted it or something? Just not sure on that. Seems silly to have a conversation with someone, that anyone could look up and find, so that must not be the case. Just wanted to check though. Thanks.
You (just like everybody else) can search only conversations in which you are participant - those in your inbox. You can not search other conversations.
Hey Rookie,
I tried to PC Magic_Luver today and it said her box was full when it wasn't.
Magic Luver tried to PC me today and it said my box was full when it wasn't
Why is that?
Also, how do the 50 messages get counted? Is it by # of conversations or number of individual messages?
Try to empty the inbox.
is there a way to deleat only some of the mesages in a conversation
Yes, if you see the delete button.
BTW, archiving feature has already been requested in the new Personal Conversations

Am having trouble with getting the spoiler to go where I want it to go. If I quote something, then want to put in a spoiler after that, I move the cursor to the bottom, yet the spoiler still goes to the very top. I guess it doesn't really matter, it still works. I just used to be able to put the cursor wherever I wanted the spoiler to be.
it seems to work for me OK
-
Well spotted. I agree with the suggested changes and it's corrected now.
-
Rookie, just wondering, is there still something on a person's profile which tells what there current time is?
I have looked but I can't seem to find one..
Yes, the location - if filled truthfully.
-
go to Games and click [Last >>] which should take you to page 9 with the following URL:
"prune_day_100" looked sinister to me so I was just making sure
I see what you mean now. However, I confirm that no threads will be pruned.
-
Is there a way you can find out what post give you a reputation?
i have a Reputation of 4 but it says Neutral when does it stop being Neutral?
Yes, I (as admin only) see who gave to whom and who received from whom what reputation points. For instance, 1 member received all 70 points from just another member in 1 mafia thread.
Reputation levels:
Bad -20
Poor -10
Neutral 0
Good 10
Excellent 20
everything is awesome
(I tested out the reputation system too and gave every post in this topic +1 hehe)Anyway, I am only worried about one thing... the other day I went to get the link for topics like Mafia II... and the word "prune" was in the URL. In forums, "pruning" is a polite word for "deletion of old topics"... so I was just checking to make sure you don't have any pruning system enabled accidentally/purposefully. The old riddles and old games may be old, but people still love & read them.
The reputation will work only if members use it appropriately.
I checked Mafia II thread and I could not find "prune" - where exactly did you see it? I do not intend to prune any threads.
-
How do we find out that we have a PM?
top right hand corner - messenger
-
I see what you mean. This seems to be an issue with MS Internet Explorer only (what a surprise).
Of course, Firefox and Chrome display those data properly.

Hey Rookie, if someone doesn't any comments on their page, how do you post a new comment? o.O I can't find the button
<(^-^)>
If member has not allowed comments on his/her profile than you can not comment there.
The comments can be allowed in "My Settings - Profile - Change Profile Information - Enable Profile Comments"
Is the "Reputation" for the user, or for the riddle/post itself? I am just not quite sure how it works. I had accidentally clicked it on someone when it first was up on the 2nd, before it shut down for a good while. I went back and looked just barely and it now says "1" on his, but there is a comment left by him under that one and it is "0" so that leads me to believe it is just per comment/post.
Oh, and great job Rookie! I think it is going to take a bit of getting used to, but it is fabulous
Reputation is per comment and it adds to the total reputation of user. Negative points lower the total reputation of user. Just like Frost wrote.
Thanks
Edit: Sorry, where will it say on on the profile page? Does anyone know? Also - are hyperlinks and stuff like that the same? Is it still the same, as for marking a riddle as Solved? Does all of that work the same?
Everything should work normally.
-
I do not see my post is that normal? mine just opned up.
The board might be upgraded but I am still the same - I delete off topic posts (just like the yours you are asking about).
-
I think it looks great! There are certainly a lot of changes...It'll be hard to get used to calling them PCs instead of PMs.
I'm curious as to how the reputation system will work though...what causes a change in reputation points?
Your vote (+ or -) changes the reputation points. BTW, I have given you 1 testing positive point
I am curious about the reputation as well. Fair approach from active majority is required.Where's the TOP button, I'm too lazy to scroll?!
I'll get back to you on rest of the stuff when I get used to this
Interesting how people used to interact with BD - TOP button. I clicked it maybe twice
. Maybe trying "Home" on your keyboard might fill the hole Did you have to shut it down for that whole time?
Yes, I worked on the tuning day and night (literally).
-
does this mean that we can kiss goodbye to the annoying can't-send-PM-again-until-yymmdd thingy?
I'm excited!Yes, for a testing period.
Aaaaggh! My eyes!!!! Too bright! Too shiny!
Oh well, I can adjust.
Seriously though, I miss the old Brainden Logo at the top of the screen.
The old BrainDen logo is back
I agree. Can we get a color changing (maybe formatting) option in the dropdown menu at the bottom left to allow us to see this in a more BD-classic style?
You could and I might look into that later.

Note that this forum will be upgraded to new version shortly. This is a major upgrade with many changes (visual and functional):
IP.Board 3
IP.Blog 2
IP.Gallery 2
July 3, 2009 - Forum Upgraded Successfully
This is just a short list of new features. Don't hesitate to let me know YOUR favorite feature
Board
- registration "question and answer" to combat spam bots
- better topic/forum subscription controls
- view new content: you can go directly to the first new post you have not read yet (which is better than in the old version when you went to the last new comment and you had to go up and find the first post in the thread you have not read)
- watched content (subscribed topics/forums) visible on the forum home page
- more control over "friends", mutual friends (adding and removing friends is now a mutual option)
- per-group signature restrictions (at last :-)
- search index (no more reposts due to hard searching? let's see)
- gravatar support
- reputation logs (I can now edit a member's reputation points and also view the record of ratings that member has left for others and the ratings others have left for that member)
- enhanced watched topics/forums (displays the number of new topics or posts since your last visit and visit only them)
- filter forum by new topics (you can now filter a forum using the filter options bar at the bottom of the page to show only new topics posted since your last visit)
- I can also optionally allow members to delete their vote and re-vote in polls (so the "Solved" functionality can be edited by topic starter - with newly-created polls only)
- reputation system (positive and negative reputation points) - content highlighted after 50 points
- enter media directly in posts (eg. youtube video)
- separate button for spoiler directly visible in "add reply"
Personal Conversations (instead of old Personal Messages)
- invite other members to conversations instead of forwarding/copying the message
- fast reply
- each participant apart from the topic starter can choose to leave a conversation at any time
- each participant can also view all participants and see the last time they read the conversation
- search private conversations
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Semantically correct HTML
- Removal of "lo-fi" version (so that when you search and find this forum you go to the full version) - no more duplicating content (possibility for customizable skin for mobiles only)
- mode (eg. linear or outline) can be changed in user panel and search engines should not "freely" choose in which mode they present the search results (only linear mode should be indexed) - reducing confusion when entering the site with different mode/layout
- friendly URLs (of course the old URLs are still working - they are just "redirected")

oh nooooooooo, same puzzle was posted by rookie1ja.
im sorry i searched for this before but i didnt find it. because rookie's description of puzzles is completely different from mine.
No problem, this is a good one. I have posted at least 2 of these - Pandora's Box I and II.
Thread locked.

I have just checked the spoilers on my HTC Touch HD (Opera browser with enabled JavasScript) and the spoilers work properly.
The spoilers require JavaScript to be enabled. BTW, you can also view the "Lo-Fi Version" on your mobile (check the link at the very bottom center).

Well, it's not math or logic (well, using the definition of logic as being deducing conclusions from a given set of information), it's a situational riddle (which often requires creativity or thinking outside the box, which is a different type of intelligence than math), and often situational riddles have a verbal component designed to throw you off.
So... what forum are they best for?
Btw, first one was too easy, imo, but I like the second one
