Members List - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Gixxerdale · 05-15-2005, 06:56 PM

Could we open a few more headings in the Members List?

User Name -Posts - Avatar - Occupation - Motorcycle - First Name

The info would come from the users profile so each user could add or delete it as they wish.

Yes, no, maybe?

Sounds good to me.

**Louis** · 05-15-2005, 09:18 PM

I can ask, but doubt it can be done.

**Louis** · 06-01-2005, 07:19 PM

Well I was wrong. And it's easier than we thought too. Hope it is to your liking Dale.

Nice ! I like it. It ties things together when browsing the members list. First names seem to make it a friendlier forum. Thanks Louis. But It seems I'm the only one with a first name since it's a new field!

**Louis** · 06-01-2005, 07:53 PM

I added my first name too...

Bob, don't go playing with your member in public - you can get arrested for that!

Isn't that against some forum rule here?

**Louis** · 06-09-2005, 08:34 AM

Yes, it is clearly against the rules for Uncle Bob to do that, but only on the site's property

There must be some mistake! When I went to go into one of the forums last week I got a message saying that the site administrator had banned me. I have sent several messages to the site administator asking why, but to date I have not gotten any reply. So now I ask the "board authorities" if they can look into this for me--it has to be a mistake.

**Louis** · 07-07-2005, 09:40 PM

We've had some issues was bad members lately. We are trying to resolve the banning process to make as accurate as we can. Sorry about this. I can only say that I haven't received any emails from you on this and that we are making our best to have a friendly board. Please accept our apologies if you have been experiencieng issues when you haven't beend behaving incorrectly.

**Uncle Bob** · 07-08-2005, 05:00 PM

You're using AOL ( not that there is anything wrong with that ), they use some sort or strange dynamic IP system where the IP used is attributed according to the site you're visiting.

Result is multiple users with the same IP, in your case only a dozen or so but we've seen the same AOL IP attributed to fifty different members at thje same time.

If one gets out of line then we ban the IP, result is several members end up on the ban list that shouldn't until we sort it out, unfortunately sometimes we have no choice but to close the door on an IP until we get things right again.

So should it happen again, if you have nothing to blame yourself for just assume somebody is giving your IP a bad name and it's only temporary. If you want to log on, you still can by using your windows internet browser rather than your AOL browser..
