I'm a newbie, I just joined. I just finished watching season 1 on HBO on Demand.

I have a lot of questions about plot, characters. I don' t. Want to have to read the books to find out the answers. So can someone steer me in the right direction?

I have a question - it's minor but has begun bothering me.  All of the toolbars at the top of my 'post' window (including smiley faces) are grayed out, which I assumed was for the good cause of conserving 'site power' with the sharply increased traffic lately, which would be fine.  But I've been noticing that other posters are still able to access things like the 'bolding' and 'smiley face' features, whereas I can't.  Is there something I can do to 'un-gray' my toolbars?  Or is there a 'trick' that I just don't know about to create those effects?  

Thanks for your help!

That's strange. Toolbar works for me. What browser are you using?O

Oh, nevermind. Try clicking the upper left most icon. That's a switch that turns the toolbar on and off. When I click it to turn it off, it grays everything else out for me as well.A

As to how to use emotes and bold and such without the toolbar? Some people (like me) just type the various BBCodes in directly.

:) Ah -- light bulb!  You'd think I could have noticed that the icon top left was a light switch!  MANY THANKS!  :)

Hooray!  Mine is now corrected, too.  Thank you.  I had no idea what that little icon meant.

In reference to deleted posts: if anyone has questions or comments about specific bans/warnings/deletions, they MUST address these to the mods via PM. If PM is down - wait for it to come back up. Failure to observe this rule could itself see you suspended.

Currently, I believe, the only way to use an avatar is to do so through Gravatar. It's pretty easy to register and then link your account to this forum. :)
