cyril50 , I don't know what it depends on - maybe just dumb luck. My brother, who is a computer genius, says most little annoying things like this are caused by software conflicts. So, dear brother, how do I fix it? Just keep farting around with it until you find something that works. He also told me that I could look at anything on my computer and whatever I screwed up he could fix. So the fan on my Win95 shorted out and it fried my hard drive. Hmmm........

cyril50Don't forget, if you click the BBCode tab and then the Preview Tab on the bottom left, BEFORE posting, it will show you exactly what the post will look like. You can get rid of extra spacing etc. before hitting the create post and avoid having to edit afterwards :)

You can get rid of extra spacing etc. before hitting the create post and avoid having to edit afterwards I type most of my posts in BBCode before previewing. As long as you remember to balance your opening and closing tags, everything should work out. [quote]You bash the balrog, and I'll climb a tree![/quote] looks like this: Make sure to get that backslash correct in the closing tag, or everything will be messed up. If you use multiple tags, such as quotes, fonts, colors, etc., make sure you balance them on each side of what gets quoted and make sure to remember that backslash at the end. (If anyone's curious, what I typed is a line from a filksong about fantasy RPG adventuring, to the tune of "Waltzing Mathilda")

Hmmm... I thought we had ironed out this problem. Editing the poll will reset the it, as the key will be re-written, and in doing so, you'd lose all of the original votes. But I'll add a way of re-enabling an ended poll without losing the existing votes. As for the problem with some struggling to reply to a post outside of the quote, I did notice that the quote in the preview pane is the same color as the background, with no border. I don't know if that is the reason, but is would make it hard for the replier to see if they are posting inside or outside of the quote.

todge, came to the rescue! He shortened the length of the poll box so it should prevent any accidental "end poll" clicks Bouncy Puppy

I worry about them doing away with BOGOs and good discounts. Having only full price that only lessen with the points. I'm a game member and I wait to use a BOGO with two credits to get two games free. I don't trust them to be fair to the consumer.
I vote hate it. Or worse.

galaxy, I've already been seeing a trend where the sales don't come as often, especially the BOGO sales!

Now that I've realized my existing GCCs and "never expiring" coupons will only be worth 2/3 of a new game instead of a whole new game (since I'm not a member & those things no longer pay for a "game" but only contribute to the $6.99/$9.99 price for member/non-member), I'm decidedly less thrilled about the change to points. Guess I'll care less once I've used up my existing inventory of credits, but sure wish they'd grandfather in the previous "full game" value of these things. Perhaps I'll hurry in to get a couple games today (hopefully before the change goes in place) to avoid suffering the devaluation. Sadly, there are not enough existing games that I want out right now to use up all of them.
Anyone want to advocate for some game in the last year that is perhaps a "not to be missed" that I might use the credits up on??

Hard HOPAs, good puzzle games ala The Cabinets of Dr. Arcana, adventure games that are not just endless wandering or talking to folks, difficult nonograms (though I think I've trialed all the ones at BFG & have bought the best)

Great suggestions pennmom - Thanks. I already own several (Green Moon, Facility 47, Charlain Harris). A Tale for Anna was on my "maybe" list & I've downloaded several of the others to give them a try. !

I'm excited, but it is too early for me to judge. I don't know enough about it. One thing I hope it allows us to do is buy more points just like buying an extra credit now.

First came the announcement in January and since then we've heard zilch. As others say, I'm reserving judgement; I can't imagine there wouldn't be some profit in this for them, which is ok, just so I'm not paying all of that profit!

Hello superannuatedfishie, welcome to The Woods! I feel the same way...there's gotta be more in it for BFG than us "feeder guppies" Big Fish Eats Little Fish

Could have been something to do with all those 'free coupons' used by the many rather than the few that were given them.
