[DinoToyForum]

I've created a sub-board to host our various Mojo Fun 'consultation' threads. It is a child board of the Dinosaur Toy Lines category:

Just to say I rejigged the registration page and removed the "are you human" question, it was far too confusing before! Hopefully we don't have an influx of spammers

[DinoToyForum]

I've added a bookmark feature to the forum. You should see an 'add bookmark' button on the top and bottom of each thread. Clicking this will add the topic to your personal bookmarks page: http://www.dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?action=bookmarks

Hope this is useful! If so, I'll also add it to the Animal Toy Forum too.

I've added a handy link to the bookmarks page in the top menu, under the 'profile' option.

I see the 'notify', which sends email, but I don't see a 'bookmark'

It should be just to the left of the 'notify' button. Can anyone see it, or just me?

[Himmapaan]

I'm afraid I don't see it either. 

[DinoToyForum]

Hmm. Here's a screenshot of what I see, you don't see this? Bookmark button circled in red. Maybe I need to set permissions...

[SBell]

Nope, no Bookmark button. Also no Add Poll button, for that matter.

[DinoToyForum]

OK, found the problem, I needed to manually set the permissions for the feature. Now all members, but not guests, should be able to see the bookmark button and use the bookmark feature. Hope it works now! Now I need to do the same on the Animal Toy Forum...

The add poll button is an admin feature.

[Himmapaan]

Ah, yes. It's there now.

[SBell]

Finally, got it!

[DinoToyForum]

Glad it works! I think it is a rather handy feature myself. 

[DinoToyForum]

I've added a store page here: http://dinotoyblog.com/store/
You can also get to it from the 'blog & more' tab in the top forum menu. The store is the same as the one The Dinosaur Toy Blog; it is basically a branch of Amazon.com with dinosaur figures hand-picked by yours truly. All Amazon stock is searchable too. The Dinosaur Toy Blog/Forum gets a small commission for each item purchased through the store, which helps cover our hosting and domain costs, so anyone who uses it will also be supporting the blog and forum   I just need to remember to keep it up to date! 

[DinoToyForum]

Just to inform everyone that I'm shortly going to delete all old attachments from the forum. Again, this is a space saving exercise to keep the forum healthy. Unfortunately, this means that if you have any old posts with attachments, you'll have to edit them to include the images from an external host. Apologies for the inconvenience.

[DinoToyForum]

I'm deleting the chat box at the bottom of the forum.

Why did you ban Tylosaur and limit his posts?
Why did you lie to the forum?
Tylosaur is my friend!
I'll come clear.I have autism too and it erupted me to hear you banned him because of his differences.

[tyrantqueen]

Here are the answers.

http://www.dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,687.0.html

I don't want to start any drama, so I won't make any comment.

[radman]

I recall that at one point he was replying to  almost every single post someone else put up.  Usually with some Australian slang, although he was Dutch.  No offense, but I eventually excluded him from my views because of his repetitive comments.

For those of us who experienced the whole thing, your list of questions don't really leave any possibility of answers. I do think that it is fair to say that being 'different' had nothing to do with it.
