  1. Everyone should go there a lot more
  2. Not a good match. Dutch players were dirty, but their defence was solid. Spain were fast but just couldn't beat the Dutch defence. The winning goal was actually offside, so it should have gone to penalties, which the Dutch would probably have won. And just before that goal, there should have been a corner given to Holland. But just before that, a Dutch player should have been sent off. All things considered, this was a really difficult match for the (British) referee, and he was lucky to have make the good calls that he did. Given that Holland should have had maybe even 3 more players sent off, in the end, the better team won.
  3. I don't see how I'd forget it that quickly,given that I only read the requirements 3 days before the deadline
  4. My bf is off to study Psychology at York this year, whilst I'm returning to staffs for my final year (yay). Where are you hoping to go next?
  5. I founded Grand Theft Wiki back in 2006, TGTAP has always been separate. Recently we created a subforum here for GTW staff to discuss things, that's all that's changed. I stepped down from TGTAP staff for a variety of reasons, I won't bore you with them.
  6. Already working on a way to do this, but there's not much more we can do than ban those particular words (without writing new code). We're probably going to leave those in, so that mods can search for those words and find those topics.
  7. Fixed - Full Members now have permission to report posts. Thanks guys.
  8. I remember when this was requested by members along time ago when you guys negatively responded on how " gay " it was. If you think any of our admins said something was 'gay', then you are completely delusional. Using that word in that context is actually a bannable offence here, and we do enforce that. Now we have a managed moderatable chatroom integrated into the forums, then it's not so much of an issue as a tgtap-branded shitty external one. We can control this very easily and restrict it to members, or just Full Members if we need to.
  9. Go here. Find this topic in the list. Hover to the right of the topic title (where the red box is in the image above). The green icon should appear, click on it, and the preview box should come up.
  10. I didn't really understand what that meant since I didn't see an icon like that anywhere. If you hover over where I put the red box, then the icons will show up. This screenshot shows the icons to pin/rename/delete as well as the preview icon.
  11. You may notice a few changes we've made to TGTAP today, mostly thanks to our upgrade to IPB 3.1 and 3.1.1 You can preview a topic from the subforum view by clicking the green icon You can now link your account to Facebook and Twitter. This lets you "like" things, sahre things, import/export images, status updates, and even log-in using just Twitter/Facebook. In the sidebar, you can view recent TGTAP-related updates from Facebook You can now reply directly to people's status updates in the sidebar A lot of behind-the-scenes changes to make our lives easier, and make sure this forum runs better! We're still sorting out a couple of skin tweaks, but please reply if you spot any problems. You may also notice that the 'Members' user group has been split into "New Members" and "Full Members". Only members who have been here some time, and proved that they're not spammers, will become Full Members and have full access to the forum and all its features. To make sure you're in the right group, just log out and log back in again! Full Members can now delete their own posts and topics. This is for if you make a mistake (ie post something twice), it's not for deleting old topics. Staff will be able to see everything you delete, and can make them re-appear if they think they were unfairly deleted. This is a trust thing, so don't abuse it
  12. brb, upgrading

      Upgrade should be done - let me know if there are any problems!!

  13. It's happened to me for a while too. We'll be upgrading to a new version soon, hopefully that will fix it. If not, I'll check the redirects.
  14. Today we're testing some settings for different types of member, and some new methods of dealing with spammers and vandals. Until then, most members only have the privileges and restrictions of a "new member". Those members who've been here a while will have the rest of their privileges and rights back later today.
  15. Please note that on this forum, the preferred language is English, not 11-year-old. If you prefer to speak in your own language/dialect/baby-talk, you can do so in our International Forum. I believe you said "But I don't want to give you my info. Please give me permissions, you have to, I have a right to have themes". You can select a theme from the bottom-left corner. We have 31,000 members, they can't ALL have a theme each. That would take up too much space, make the website too slow, and cause a lot of problems. We prefer to just have one theme for this forum, because then we know that everything works properly and looks fine. If we had lots of different skins, that would be impossible. If we let all 31,000 members have admin access, this forum would get deleted within 2 minutes. Obviously we can't let that happen, so we restrict admin access to trusted, long-term forum staff. Please don't feel the trolls.
  16. It's not Chris's fault. We sell your credit card details to companies and spammers, so that we can afford to run the server every month.
  17. That isn't a full credit card number, don't try and fool us
  18. Of course! You're now an admin, you can now log into the Admin Control Panel and do whatever you want.
  19. Hey that wasn't his fault! He thought it was a sandwich, he didn't mean to eat it alive.
  20. Of course, we make people admin just because they ask. That's totally how it works here. You know that. It's not based on how good they are, or whether they have any experience, or even if they're trustworthy.
  21. Using your parents card is fine, doesn't have to be your own.
  22. You can't edit the post forever (there is a time limit), and that would be one HUGE post (there is a size limit). You should reply to the topic with your next chapter. Then edit the first post with a link directly to each chapter's post. I'd suggest just getting on with it, and we can worry about the organisation of it later
  23. I don't understand the problem. Why would the admins stop you posting your story? So long as you stick to the forum rules, it's fine. Don't put any unnecessary swearing, abusive language, racism/homophobia or any personal insults towards members of this forum. Don't spam people (like PMing then with "read my story") and don't advertise any other sites. I don't see how posting a story would break those rules, so carry on.
