I do some perusing, but never post in here.

Larry and the Guv are my only source of good klingon stories and over the years I kinda got attached to the ppl here. So yes, I have a new thread notification.

I would say yes. It hopefully will not be long that we will actually require community content storylines... ;) Dig? You never know...

I'm still here and will be posting the next MP:Bonus scene as soon as I can get Frey to resend me my login and password for the xc ftp site so I can host an image to go with it.  Stupid Dreamweaver tossed my credentials again!

So, yes, post a story and I will happily read it.   :woot:

WOW...
So this could be use like a blog? and I could start a storyline and add to it everyday or week and use you people as my charters...like

(I was just sitting there, minding my own business sipping my Andorran ale at outpost 217 along the neutral zone, when I first heard the reports coming in, something about the U.S.S. Warrior (NCC-1720) coming under attack in sector 2346 by unknown forces.

It was too sketchy at first, I thought I heard someone say they were sending the the Indianapolis to investigate..but the Warrior, I thought was put into the reserve fleet 20 years ago? there must be some mistake...quickly I pulled out my communicator and contacted my communications officer)

I'll take a look and see if I can recover that for you so we don't have to bother Frey. In the meantime however, take a look at our new user media gallery to which yoou should have access here: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php?action=media;area=mya

It has bbcode tags and the works... you can then embed the images within your posts in a number of ways. Play with it, let me know if it does not work for you or if you need a hand to get started (I never really wrote a complete post about it). I have also installed a Float bbcode tag (the green bendy arrows in the post buttons)

Yes, and I get the sense that you would be good at it. I already like your writing style from that one small snippet...

Also, we also have a Wiki for anyone interested to play with it. (though I have not tended to it much lately, and it remains empty and neglected, but if anyone takes an interest and wants to fill it with SFC goodness, then I'll do what I can to facilitate. (regular forum users should already be able to contribute, if you'd like to edit - once there is some content - contact me and I'll add you to the group that can do so. It would be great if someone wanted to steward the wiki, I'm a little busy atm, but it could come in handy.

Excellent, that would be MUCH appreciated!

Nope... I get this error message:

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, but you are not allowed to access the gallery

PM Sent.

Let me take a look at the media thing, I thought I had it set so members could add their own galleries... (It has a zillion settings.) I'll check it again and give it a try with my regular member test account. Thanks for checking! Now I know I don't have it set correctly.

edit: permissions corrected. You should be able to access the media gallery albums thingy now. (I can with my regular member test account) Note though, that any new albums will require moderator approval. (at least for regular members... I may remove that for XC members as we already know pretty much how nuts you guys are... ;))

edit2: XC member galleries now set to auto-approve. You should be good to go if you'd like to use that, but you should be good to go with your ftp account too if you just want to stick with that. Nevertheless, I'm glad this came up.

Something is still a bit off.  I tried to create a new album and got:

Since I got it again, I'm reporting it to an administrator.   ;)

Thanks!  Yeah, it was the first computer game I bought and I still remember it as one of the best I've ever played.

Thanks, I'll test that out and see what the issue might be. It would be nice to get it working for everybody.

Due to stupid crappy RL BS, I haven't been around as much. Plan on changing that soon. So, YES.
