When an administrator or moderator has determined that a thread has reached its valued ending, the thread is locked to prevent any addtional postings.Conference threads are locked after the conference. Other threads are locked when they become overly heated or have degenerated for one reason or another.

 

[chefann]

You can also lock a thread that you have started. Some people have done that when they've had announcement-type threads that they didn't want comments about, or a poll that has a deadline.

What to do about ebay, craigslist and other Internet ViolationsThanks for this update, Cindy!

I emailed this link to Richard Laiche over the weekend - there are several violations similar to this one on cafemom.com....PAMPERED CHEF (R) - CafeMom [Link removed to prevent giving them any legitimacy. ]Anyway, Richard thanked me and sent me an email that he is no longer our contact for matters like this. From now on, email violations that you find to:[email protected]Evidently it is getting so bad that have a complete department just for this. Stinks for us trying to do our job the honest way! Feel free to go to cafemom & report away! He said this was a new one to them.

Once again, DO NOT CONFRONT the violator on your own. You're wasting your time, your energy, and will be creating lifelong enemies. Don't do it, as tempting as it is. Just report them to the above address.

How do I get all those goofy smilies some of you are using?

Where do you find them
How do you save them
How do you post them

And yes KG I see some on my right

I would love to use them, put feel totally computer illeterate when it comes to this stuff.

Did you figure it out yet?

Find them? Google is your friend. There are about a half a bazillion sites out there that offer free smilies.

Save them? Well, some of us have our own supply built up in a repository, like photobucket, so we can get to them quickly, when we need them. Others just link them from where they find them, although, that can be risky. The links could get broken and you loose your smiley. (Read The Photo Thread to see how to link graphics into CS.)

You post them the way it's described in the photo thread, by copying the URL of the graphic. (Right click on the graphic and choose "Copy Image Location.")

Above the editing window are several icons...bold, italic, underline, left justify, center justify, right justify, number list, bullet list, outdent, indent, link, break link, email link, graphic, quote and wrap code.

The graphic icon is the one you want...it looks like a picture postcard of a mountain range. (Some say that's the moon or sun in the upper right corner, but it looks like a stamp to me.) When you click on that icon, a pop-up dialog box appears, looking for the URL of the graphic you wish to link to.

For example... if you go to the Confused Smilies page of mysmily.net and decide you like this guy

...

• Hover the pointer over it and right-click. You'll get a pop-up menu, choose "Copy Image Location."
  
• Come back here to your post, and click the image icon. (The yellow one that looks like a picture post card, remember?) A pop-up window appears and asks for the address of the smiley.
  
• Delete the "http://" and paste the URL of your smiley in the window. Click "OK."
  
• In your post, you'll see some goofy looking text - it will be the tagged code to insert your smiley, it will look something like this:
  [ IMG]http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/confused/confused0031.gif[/IMG ]

Don't worry, when you click "Submit Reply" your smiley will appear:

That's about it. It's actually a lot simpler than it reads.

What if you don't get the "copy image location" as an option?

 

[kathijenkins]

Maybe I got it....

 

[kathijenkins]

Maybe I got it?



YES!!!!! I figured it out...well sort of...still don't get the "copy image location" thing

Your question has, most likely, already been answered. In the SEARCH window, enter a keyword that is part of your question. For example, if you were to search on "enhancement" you would get results like these...Kit Enhancement Question
Kit Enhancement
Kit Enhancement...along with 407 other threads that contain the word,
Enhancement."There is a ton of information in here, all you have to do is look for it.That is all.ETA: The search routine here can sometimes be...frustrating. You can also use google to search this site. To use google here...Log on to google.com or use the google search line you may have in your browser's tool bar. In the search field, enter your search string, followed by this text: site:chefsuccess.com and hit Search.For example, in google, if you enter: super swat site:chefsuccess.com

You will get 8 pages of listings of where the term "Super Swat" shows up in threads. Give it a try!

Nope, read the advertising policies on Consultant's Corner and also the Policy and Procedures Guide. You cannot state in any profile that you sell PC nor post your website link.

 

[Tig]

Thanks!

I cant check those area's yet, since I dont sign the dotted line till tomorrow for my kit

Further information about PWS addresses

There's a spot in your profile for homepage. DO NOT put your PWS address here. That creates a link from your profile page, as well as from your user name on your posts, which is against HO policy.

 

[salvadia4fun]

These are great....Thanks for all of the helpful hints. Keep them coming. You guys are the greatest.

[MissChef]

I need to change my name on my profle, can any help me with it?

Your User Name? I don't think we can!? Not sure though, that would be an Ann or Kitchen Guy question!

 

[janetupnorth]

Your User Name? I don't think we can!? Not sure though, that would be an Ann or Kitchen Guy question!

If you need to change your user name, you have to contact Admin Greg or DebPC our admins in order to do that.

For your profile, you can make what signature you want.

Can someone add on here instructions on how to insert links if you want to direct someone to another thread or to a file that already exists in the files section? Thanks! I can't seem to figure it out right.

 

[chefann]

To attach a link to a file, find the file. Right-click the file name, and select "Copy link location" from the pop-up menu. Paste that (ctrl-V, or edit>paste) into the post where you would like the link to appear.You can do the same for a thread. Open the thread you want someone to see in another browser window or tab. Select the entire address in the address bar and copy it (ctrl-c or edit>copy), then paste it into the thread where you want someone to see it.

Thanks Ann!

How do I get a star under my name? Keep posting! The stars are rewards for posting. You get an outline, or "stripper" star at 1,000 posts, I think you get a yellow star at 3,000, pink at 4,000 and blue at 7,000. There is a multi-color star awarded at 10,000 posts.

 

[candiejayne]

Jodi, thanks for trying to figure it out! I was wondering what the new levels were!

I believe it's 2500 posts!

 

[kcjodih]

I believe it's 2500 posts!

Nope

I spent about 1/2 an hour and went through the member's area the other day sorting my number of posts (thanks Ann!) and the numbers I quoted a few posts above are the new ones now. They were different before but my post is current as of Feb 13/09

 

[kcjodih]

Huh? After all my work it's not even an even 3000??? I checked each '1000' level NOT by the 500's! Man! Okay folks...

A note about jokesA couple of years ago, the board was starting to get cluttered up with jokes. Everyone who got a new joke via email was posting them as a new thread and it made it difficult to filter through the jokes in order to find the threads of interest.

We started a joke thread to take care of that, it's called The Official Continuing Discussion of American Humor.

Think before posting. If you can't tell it at church, it might not be appropriate for this forum. That said, we're all adults here and a little bit of adult humor among friends is fine. Still, people who post such jokes will usually preface the joke with an ADULT CONTENT warning, that way, those who aren't interested can skip it, like this one or this one.

Oh, you might want to search the thread before you post your joke, someone might have already posted it there.

 

[Saturday Gourmet]

I apologize beforehand if this was covered in the manual. It's late, I'm tired, and am just getting over swine flu. Anywho....

How do you get multiple quotes in your posts? I hit that multiple quotes button, but nothing.

Appreciate the help.
