Is there a Moderator at this forum? ....BBCode
The BBCode was switched off on my username. It prevents me from posting images. I tried to find out how to activate it but could not. So, I Private Messaged J.J.Walters, the Global Moderator and Administrator and have not received a reply. All I asked is a reason why this feature was shut off to my name? Since it is an issue that is not of a personal nature, here it is:
To: J.J. Walters:
"I noticed the BBCode on my user profile is turned off. Is there a way to turn it back on? And, if it was shut off intentionally by you or a moderator can you please tell me why?
I am about the only one routinely making posts on this website, most have left.
Thanks"
.............
continuation...I have no idea why the BBCode was disabled, but I think it is reasonable to ask why, and to get a response. Perhaps JJ is not around at this time and on holiday. If someone else has any thoughts please post. The only thing I came up with is possibly I posted too many images and it was shut off deliberately by JJ. If that is the case, this forum is at a loss because images is what keeps this forum alive and I tried to contribute.
Thanks for any feedback folks. No JJ, so your input may be of help.

I too contacted JJ on June 5th (about a trivial matter) but I haven't heard anything either. Maybe he's on vacation.
Re: Is there a Moderator at this forum?
Hey there,
Not sure what you've tried, or what you're running off, so if my answer seems a little simplistic or you've already tried it, I apologize,
When you post a new topic (or reply) there's the box at the bottom. I'm assuming you can't un-click the disable bbcode option? That's probably the quickest way to go about it. (And also the "Well, DUH Doc" response that I'm apologizing for up front)
My second thought is it may be a glitch associated with the recent refresh thats still being worked out.
I've been around here for awhile, and I remember even back in the old days it was kind of a pain in the butt to post pics.. Which I've never really done bc it seemed more trouble than it was worth.. Lol.
As long as its appropriate for the site, no reason why they won't be up there. I'm sure James is busy with some other stuff, but you should hear back from him sooner rather than later.
Hope that helps!

Or, you can check this out.. Maybe the issue lies somewhere there.

Re: Is there a Moderator at this forum?
I think James has been busy with the interface upgrade recently and can probably only dedicate a bit of time to the site. In my observation, it is not a problem with your account, it seems like it depends on where you're posting - at least that's the problem for me. In the Episode Specific Threads, I have no way of posting images or even links for that matter. However, here and in the other sections I have all the buttons I need to do whatever. I expect it is a bug (I mentioned it on this thread) that will be fixed in time.
James has no advertising and all the work and hosting fees he takes care of out of the goodness of his heart. So we just need to be patient. If you are super desperate to do something, you could always try emailing him (his email address can be found all over the site, so I don't think I'm revealing anything private here) jjwalters [at symbol] magnum-mania.com. He's always been good at responding to my inquiries.
Image test:
Yep. It works!

Re: Is there a Moderator at this forum?
Yep, there is indeed a Moderator here. He's just here on limited, part-time basis. You know, after the work day is completed and the dishes are done.
BBCode should be on for everybody.... Uh, try it now.
Workin' for me.

Still not working in the episode threads. Check out the code displayed in the quotes recently posted. I don't think it's just me.J.J. Walters wrote:BBCode should be on for everybody.... Uh, try it now.

I didn't have it last night and was going to comment that I thought it may be a mobile issue (using iPad) but it's here this morning.Styles Bitchley wrote:Still not working in the episode threads.

Re: Is there a Moderator at this forum?
Styles, when I go and look at those posts in the Episode threads, the ones that are not displaying the quotes correctly have the 'Disable BBCode' checked in the post. If I uncheck that they display correctly. I suspect what is going on is for some people it is defaulting to disable BBCode because they logged in before I turned BBCode on when I updated the forum software.Styles Bitchley wrote:Still not working in the episode threads.

I would try clearing out your browser cache. Also maybe test it out in a different browser. BBCode is definitely on for all the forums.

Re: Is there a Moderator at this forum?
Strange. I tried on three browsers and flushed my cache. I get the code on all the boards except for the episode ones. It say that the code is turned off, but when I check my preferences, it says to use the code automatically. Here's a screen cap:
