WWWBOARD FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
Usually No. You can not use HTML tags in any field, while I a few security issues are resolved. We have the option of allowing or disallowing any HTML in the Message part of your posting. Don't waste your time adding <IMG SRC="my 133t banner"> tags to your post, because it just takes the page longer to load when this server has to pull your 133t banner off the GeoCities 0-daY WaReZ site you are about to have deleted for content violations.
Why is my post killed because of a 'CYRYL lamesness warning'?
Our board is protected by a script routine that reads all posts before they go on the board. If you are trying to posts something, for example, like 'teach me how to hack' or 'how do I hack Geocities pages?' your post will not get through. At least, 90% of the time. Get a life and post somewhere else.
Why do I get that rude message when I use the <blink> tag, any <*script> tag, or a <meta> tag?
Because those tags suck and we don't like them.
Why do I sometimes get "ERROR: XX Minute Post Rule" error messages?
We have hard-coded some "anti-spam" features into the cgi scripts to prevent people from spamming the WWWBoard. If you see the error message when posting or replying to a post, then simply hit the browser "Back" button, wait the given time and try again. It might be frustrating, but the spam prevention code has been added to allow users to enjoy the freedom the original WWWBoard gives, with the added security of the "anti-spam cgi code" to prevent abuse.
Why do I get an "Access Denied" Message when I try to post something?
Because either you, someone using the IP address you currently have, or someone from your class B or C IP block is a stupid lamer and you are currently banned indefinitely. If you think there is a mistake, then contact us, and we will consider your request for removing the ban. To check and see if you are banned, check the current ban list.
Why hasn't anybody answered my question(s)?
Probably because you asked some stupid questions. Be more creative, and if you ask a dumb enough question, then maybe you'll at least get flamed. It never hurts to RTFM either. Try a search engine first if you think your question just *might* be stupid.
Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to follow up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. Leave them there if you want people to know who is saying what.
Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload your browser and it should then appear, j3w cl00less GIMP!@#$^!!!
Where can I get the scripts for this program?
This script is an improved version of Matt Wright's Script. That script had heaps of security holes, bugs, etc. This board is a complete open source fix made by people like www.cyberarmy.com, Epicurus, and Ken Williams. It is codenamed 'The Mr.Fong Device'. You will find the source for this improved script at cyberarmy.
