Although occasionly rain did factor in, and after installing those caps, all issues went away I had been having prior to "capping" my female ends off.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 wow, looks like someone had it in for Jeff with all those "self ignores" he got. Those links could have gotten sent via an e-mail to folks that use that option.So I'm wondering, if those self-ignore links you folks are talking about can be clicked and used in an e-mail that may have been sent out to someone? Or would they just be dead links in an e-mail? I know when I get some things via e-mail from the LOR forum, the links are usually active like for replying, but would embedded links in the actual message also be active as well? If so, you folks that had those links posted better hope the forum gets fixed real fast, otherwise whomever or those that got that e-mail may still be able to invoke that option.So anyone know if those links you're referencing will function if someone got hold of them in an e-mail post from the forums here? I never saw them myself and only have a select forum areas (mainly newbies and halloween) set to send me e-mail from here.Hope they don't work in those e-mail options for you folks unlucky enough to have had them previously listed here! Especially if a fix has not been done to the forums to stop them, that is, if they would happen to work from an e-mail posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, it doesn't check that you're even logged in when you click that link, and second, that type of a link (a "GET") shouldn't be used for an action with side effects (adding someone to the ignore list).

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 The actual forum message/post is not in the email alert link, so nothing to worry about there....as I understand it, with this board software, you don't have the option of seeing the actual post in the alert message.With the links removed, it appears the crisis is averted, and Jeff will no longer be ignored by the masses...

Charles Belcher Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Greg,The argumentative nature of most (not all) Christmas forums is what turned me off from posting.It was fun to kick things around, now the things kick back as you more elaborately described.I too, know how to do a few things regarding this hobby, but sharing via email/private message etc, has become a better way for me.Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Young Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It's been a while Charles! Nice to hear from you!Many of the newbies probably have no idea of how elaborate your annual display is.Few go the lengths (or are even capable of going to the lengths) of including a theatrical production tied in with a synchronized display.It is so unfortunate thnigs have become what they are on many of the forums, and many of the orginals don't post anymore.Hope all is well with you and Mrs Santa!Take care,Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
