Questions such as those dealing with personal warnings/bans are perhaps best dealt with by PM'ing me, however as you posted here I'll answer here:

You were giving the 2 warning levels December 3rd 2004, as far as I'm aware it was an out of character incident which hasn't been repeated since, I've now removed the warning levels.

I just posted a message in the "Graphic fix" thread and saw this same Internal Error 500 message as soon as i clicked on Add Reply

My reply seems to have been added without error though.

I already use firefox 1.0.2

Notice that since i noticed the error when i posted my reply in the named thread , i did not encountered it when i added my reply to this Ask a mod thread.

Maybe problem has been solved or was just a temporary load on the server ?

I already have Firefox, but the paid version of Opera is far superior.

Arff, sorry, it was so small I didn't even realise it was an image.

Being a bit tired the the hypocracy I feel by creating this post is surpassed by... Well I really can't think of what to say here that would make it witty and sarcastic so just read the rest.

this htread exists so that if someone has questions about forum rules, they can ask here.

this thread is about forum moderating questions

Sry i know, though Ive been reading through this thread and many posts are just as offtopic as mine.

Something about 1500 I guess. You gotta spam more.

I've been wondering about this one many times. It has been probably already asked in this thread, so I can only say I'm sorry I haven't read through all the 126 pages.

To get to the point:

Often, when I try to create clickable link in form of image, the board either reports an error, something about restricted image formats - or the effect is a text link with visible IMG code.

Basically, I use this tags:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> and sometimes (rarely) it works, but most of the time, it doesn't.

Can anything be done about it?

Another question... some forums system have a neat feature of exporting the whole PM inbox/outbox in form of CSV (or any other format..) file. I had to archive some of my PMs recently and it's been a lot of work to copy-paste them all manually. It'd be very nice if you consider upgrading the board functionality with this feature sometime in the future.

Thanks for your time.

No, because spamming will only lower you postcount

But you are right about the 1500 posts, though.

You mean something like this;

or in code;

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">http://llw.the-dropzone.net/imagedump/kmmsig.jpg[/img]

It works, but I had problems when using a really long web-adress, so try keep that one as short as possible

[ag_smith 0]

Yeah, exactly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Haven't had such problems on any other forum...

[hardrock 1]

What happened to your post

Your right, ag. smith, when the text inside the url tags is too long, it gets shortened down and some of the text is cut out and replaced by ...

I guess Ikonboard ment it to be a feature to cut down long links, but it gets really annoying when you want to make links containing images with long url paths

[Placebo 28]

ag_smith I vaguely recall a similar image/url error but can't remember exact details, I know I always got around it in the end, any chance you could remember a url/img combo that causes the error so I can check what the problem is? My guess would be it's due to an overly long url (also causes problems in signatures that) or a malformed url of a nature such as http://www.flashpoint1985.com/image space space.jpg

Are they Ikonboard forums or another type? If it's an official update to Ikonboard then we can look into it, if it's a hack or something then it's doubtful we would implement it at risk of forum stability

It's simple, it happens when the text inside and is too long, no matter if it's an image or only text. Thus, only images with very long paths are concerned

I just check that forum with PM archive download function and unfortunately it's not Ikonboard, but Invision Powerboard. Well, nothing biggie, I'll have to stick to my present Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V method.

Re the image link problem, it's just like hardrock showed. There's also an another problem, giving you the error message, but I can't recreate it at the moment.
