For what it's worth, I did receive the message.  :D

Well that's a little helpful...
When you reply to it will you quote the whole thing so I can see everything I wrote.
Thanks

Quick question Ruck.
I sent a message to Landlubber today using the PM function. I wanted to check it later and see if I had forgotten something (it's a scenario idea). However, I cannot find the message. After some clicking I found my "sent items" but it says there is nothing in that box. Am I missing where that sent message would be?
Thought I would post here, in case other folks have trouble with the PM function.

Unfortunately, aputomatically saving sent messages is disabled by default. One way to keep a copy of your message is to click the small box at the bottom of the text entry field that says "Save a Copy to my Outbox."  Alternatively, you can go into your message settings and set it up to do this by default. Sounds like Greg will be able to help you out though ;)

Good to know. Thanks

Great news, everyone!

I've finally managed to fix the attachements directory issue, so all of you should be able to upload avatars and make attachements to posts again.

There is also a new Gallery feature! You can find the link in the menu, and also here:

http://www.manbattlestations.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery

The gallery has a feature that generates the BBcode you need to add your pictures to your posts! Just copy and paste the code into your message, and bingo!

Just finished cleaning up another major wave of spam (ugh). What happened is, we had admin approval for all new registrations turned on. I tried turning it off yesterday, and within 12 hours we had a few dozen spambots posting inappropriate material on the forum. Should all be cleaned up  now, though.

Good job!  It was rather excessive.

All, another wave of spambots has been hitting the registration link again lately. None have made it through near as I can tell as I still have manual approval turned on for all new members. If you were trying to create a legitimate account and I accidentally deleted it along with the bots, let me know and I'll make sure I get  you set up!
