In this thread you can ask questions of the staff concerning board policy and functions in order to receive a reply that all might see and benefit from. Obviously, we expect this thread to stay on-topic at all times to avoid clutter.

Are YouTube videos allowed to be posted in the CD in the interest of humor/discussion?

Yes, provided they don't violate any content rules.

There is a couple of questions that I would like to ask and that is why the Veterens does not have a different color upon their screen names as thier screen name color is the same as a regular members' which is white? Shouldn't they have a different color to make them more special?

It's because there would be too many colors in the active users list if they were added for any of the other groups than the staff. (They also wouldn't get the signature "blue gray" color that was used on FESS3/2/4, since blue is being used by Lieutenants.) Not to mention, their Veteran usergroup icons are enough to separate them from everyone else.

Do any of the staff/administrators/etc. have access to our passwords? In other words, is it safe (well as save as it ever is) to use our FESS password as a password for other fora?

Technically, yes. However, the only one who really could is 'Bus, since he hosts the server we're on. However, there's little need to worry, since 'Bus couldn't care less about what we do on other boards, unless it has something directly to do with FESS. |

We can NOT view your password. They are encrypted by the system, though I'm not sure what the encryption strength is. Blacky Wacky or Togie might know better. They're encrypted at the SQL level. We CAN change your password, but we cannot view it. So the only way I or any other admin can know your password is if it's either told to me by the user, or I make it myself. So in other words, if I REALLY REALLY wanted to log into our SQL server, take what I'm pretty sure is a 128 bit hash and spend hours decrypting it, then yes, I technically could. But I have no interest in it, nor would I - a security engineer by trade - sacrifice my members' security like that. |

Kind of relate to this. If someone hacks into our account do we report to a mod? Just in case this happens. |

If you know it happened, then yes. Before doing this, make sure to go to whatismyip.com and give us that IP; we can compare that IP to past posts.

Do you mean medals? If so, there's not any immediate plans for their return.

Thanks. One more (unrelated) question. Images that function as links are not allowed. Does this include image linking to another thread on FESS? I seem to remember at least one admin giving the okay regarding image links to another FESS thread on FESS2, but seeing as how FESS2 has been destroyed, I can't find that post. Thank you for your time.  |

Is it okay for me to scan the "Fire Emblem" merchandise that I own and post it? I'm just taking precautions here. (Mostly just images.) I don't think I'll be posting anything else besides 'images'.

Images that function as links are not allowed.
Don't mean to bring this one up more than is necessary, but does this include thumbnails that connect to larger versions of the same image from image hosting sites? IE, in the member picture thread I believe this technique was used a few times (here's my post http://forums.grandbell.net/index.php/topic,140.msg28384.html#msg28384) so that instead of splaying giant images across the page, one could post the photobucket thumbnail of that image and have thumbnail image serve as a link to the larger picture from the image hosting site. So technically the thumbnail is a link to an external website. Also, this one doesn't have much to do with anything, but why do I have a post count of 1 in my profile? I've noticed a few other members sometimes have a few posts counted in their profile, even though this website doesn't count posts. It's obviously not important, I was just curious if there was any reason why.  |

Those are fine, Black Knight.
Some of us have post counts from when the board was still in its early testing; posts were on then. The same thing has probably happened more than once as we brought shit online.

Also, for whatever inconceivable reason, using the report button adds to your post count.
