GBModerator Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 The forum software was recently changed - it's possible that this feature is no longer available. Additionally, you can only change your display alias once over a specified period. If you already changed it it may be unavailable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I last changed my name in 2010 so don't think it can be that! Does that mean the feature is now permanently unavailable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Seems odd. I can see the option to change display name. InToronto's steps should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Agreed, the method sound correct. I just literally can't do it - very annoying!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 What are warning points? I have only just saw that now in my profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 It'd be nice to be able to vote posts down again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 It'd be nice to be able to vote posts down again. I second that. Unruly posters need to feel at least some form of sanction also by the users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotguy Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Perhaps a like or dislike option for the particular post being made rather than an option which could be used against members themselves. The trouble with the old system was that it was being abused by some and some of the troublesome members here do also post some good things from time to time. So it would be better to show our support or anger at the particular posts made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 What are warning points? I have only just saw that now in my profile. I asked the Mod about them in a PM and got no response. I received one for stating a verifiable fact about something another poster had written. Oh well. I don't know if it's 2 or 3 strikes before you get banned. I'm not losing sleep over it.

Sir Rols Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've noticed the past week that my daily Google news search for Olympics and Commonwealth games items etc is throwing up old GamesBids articles (and saying they're just hours old). Just today it threw up, as new, "Nigeria may bid for 2018 Commonwealth Games" (now that's a blast from the past!). I got excited last week with one "New York City may bid for games" only to find it was from a year or so ago. Any ideas why? Anbody else noticing.

Sir Rols Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Welcome Yoshi! If you go to your profile settings, and personal settings from there, I think, you should be able to upload a pic from your PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mod, is there any way to skip straight to a particular page in a topic on the mobile site, as you can do on the desktop version? As far as I can see, you have to push next constantly to get to the last page in a topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
