Oh Lord.... I'm going to have to drink more coffee before I post. Sometimes I go back and read what I write at 600am and wonder if my brain was engaged.

I think most nominations recently were about specific long going informational threads. Like medical threads or long standing PM threads. I'm not sure about back in former years though.You know, I been at GIM2 well over a decade 15+ and one of the top posters and contributors, yet was never nominated for the HoF. I was curious if there was a specific reason or just fell thru the cracks?
Here goes the neighborhood........................
About 40, but there are a bunch more to rescue.
If anyone knows how to contact Rebel Yell can you let him knowFWIW: keef, Mujahid, Mr Paradise, 789, 917601, gnome, andial, Varmint Hunter, dacrunch, michael59. There's a few more just can't think of them right now.

This fat rat knows when to leave a sinking ship.
Man, Place a WARNING LINE above PICS like that. I almost threw up my breakfast all over the keyboard and monitor. ( whew)
Yes, the edit window. It does seem a bit brief. I would vote for an increase, say to 24 or 48 hours.Yes. You get a window of time after submitting to make edits, but the window isn't unlimited.
Some members, in their haste with a quick reply (me being one of them) posts something that on later read sounds totally ridiculous. And on realizing what they said will edit the post to say what they thought they meant.Sometimes I go back and read what I write at 600am
I'm sure many things will be ironed out in the future, for now I bet PMB is pretty busy getting everyone registered.Yes, the edit window. It does seem a bit brief. I would vote for an increase, say to 24 or 48 hours.

Anyhow... I'm just a newbe, only making a suggestion so us semi-somnolent posters don't look like doofuses.

An example being when I posted on the all woman forum and accidently called the group COWS it timed out and I could not go back and fix it.Yes, the edit window. It does seem a bit brief. I would vote for an increase, say to 24 or 48 hours.

We're going to make spelling great again.
Have to thank you for allowing us to invade your site!I've adjusted the editing windows as follows:
'active' users group: 1 hour from initial post
'supporters' users group [month(ly) upgrade]: 24 hours
'benefactor' users group [year(ly) upgrade]: 48 hours
We're going to make spelling great again.
No,no,no. Just trying to help brothers & sisters get registered.Big Jim for HoF!
Now hold on here. I know I am guilty. In all fairness I have ADD and my brain out paces my typing and bad things happen. Being inside my head could make you dizzy. Sometimes we need a correction or two....or three.Good Luck with that, these are GIM2 folks. But when you're done with that, try grammar.
Can we talk @pmbug to give us a "GIM@ Refugee" tag on our profiles?
OK. If you would like to help me test this... Try adding (copy/paste to ensure exact spelling and capitilization):
GIM2 Refugee
to the occupation field of your profile. It might take 15 minutes or so for the forum to recognize it.

FWIW: keef, Mr Paradise, 789, gnome, andial, the_shootist. There's a few more just can't think of them right now.
I'm in North Dakota, if that helps.
Sorry if it's been addressed already and I'm just missing it...but how does one set up their avatar?
I don't recall how often the forum runs the chron job that would be checking for the refugee text. I thought it might be 15 minutes, but it could be hourly or daily. We'll see.I just keep pushing buttons until something changes. Still working on the "GIM2 Refugee" Some of us still need baby steps
I put it in a couple places, we'll see if one worksAvatar privileges come when members get promoted from the new registered user group to the active member user group. Takes a day or so.
