How could Spooks Forum improve?

Lol, it does.

Please understand that I am not trying to cause offence or argue......

I am mortified that I have been given a warning for mentioning

Spoiler: show

Colin's exit being poignant

which is my second warning. I hate breaking rules, so after my first spoiler (which was purely a mistake on my part) I checked the rules on the front page of the forum where it clearly says.....

"11. Spoiler tags MUST be used for all information about future episodes, whether it is true or not."

As

Spoiler: show

Colin's exit was in series 5 episode 1,

I did not think that a spoiler was necessary. Perhaps rule 11 needs amending to help people avoid making the same mistake as I have. I know there has been discussion here and there about when spoilers should/should not be used, but The Rules thread should surely give the definitive answer.

Thanks for listening and I sincerely apologise for my errors.

The definitive answer lies in our Spoiler Policy, here: http://www.spooksforum.co.uk/announcement-1.html

I shall amend Rule 11 as follows:

Could we maybe have a technical support thread, where people can ask questions about posting and using all the different functions available? For instance, I can't for the life of me figure out how to quote more than one previous post that I want to reply to in one post.

[Nitrus]

That's sort of what the Suggestion Box is for...

I'll change the name to something more... encompassing.

To answer your question, you click the button to the right of the QUOTE button. You should then see a bar at the bottom of the Quick Reply box with links to handling the selected quotes.

Oh, right, er... So THAT's what this thread is for.

See why I need help?

Thanks Nitrus.

Out of curiosity what's the criteria for having a header? I thought it was all the grid-based people but then Juliet's on there isn't she?

There is no "criteria" if I find a good quality image of a recurring character, i'll probably make a header for them.

Cool, ok

Can I disable the notification to my e-mail each time someone posts on here? When this thread gets going, it floods my inbox, lol!
