Ken's Lost Message Board FAQ

A message from Ken Penders

What This Board IS and IS NOT For

First and foremost, this is not, never has been, never will be, STRICTLY a LOST ONES board, though it may seem like it at the present time. Other topics related to this website are invited to be posted. Those of you new to this board thinking you will be ignored if you post regarding anything else other than THE LOST ONES, such as Sonic and Knuckles, STAR TREK, or anything else featured here, please reconsider.

To THE LOST ONES fans, I encourage you to continue using this this as a forum to interact with each other, as long as it is done in a civil and friendly manner. If someone waxes constantly over a favorite character, people have the choice to either respond or ignore, but not to put down anyone.

Because many people interact with each other through this forum, posting something personal to each other is permitted. Again, others are free to respond or ignore, but not put down.

What WON'T be tolerated, under ANY circumstances, are foul language, flames, insults, etc. Any post doing so will be deleted immediately. Whatever effort a person expends trying to get away with this is only wasting the effort, as it's no problem at all to erase their work.

If you feel the need to express yourself totally uncensored, go elsewhere. This is my board, and I prefer a friendly, easy-going, supportive environment around here.

Have fun.


WWWBoard Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Here is a brief explanation of some of the questions you may have about WWWBoard.

Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?

No. You can not use HTML tags in any field except body of the message. The maintainer of the script has the option of allowing or disallowing any HTML in the Message part of your posting. If they disallow it, the script will just throw out everything in <>'s. If they allow it, your html markup will appear in the posting. It can't hurt to try.


Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?

Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. The owner of the WWWBoard can decide whether they wish to enable or disable the quoting of previous messages.


Why didn't my post show up?

Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload your browser and it should then appear.


Where can I get the scripts for this program?

The scripts are written in Perl and created by Matt Wright. They are free to anyone who wishes to use them and you can get them as well as other scripts at: http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/. Enjoy!
