It costs 5,000 points.

It is not worth it in my opinion, you are not missing anything. Of course some my say otherwise, but IMHO it is not worth it. But go ahead, you can always say you joined the RATS forum.

Dammit all to heck man that sucks. Nothing against staff, just what a suckey situation...so much time to trawl through threads...so many replies going un noticed....so much wasted opportunity for learning & discussion makes me sad, doesn't it make you sad (ATSstaff) ?

Alright so I'm sad & dissapointed, established, now what are we gonna do about it???

anyway us ats members can help? I'm broke. Just putting that out there right now, haven't worked for over a year now. but if there are ways the ats community can help....ask us!!! BUT! problems too much traffic right?

how can that be solved, ads? money for other servers or space or something?

You must understand (surely) that this notification thing is pretty essential & will save many people alot of time & speed up the quest for knowledge, to not have 're activating post-reply notifications' on your wish list then surely you must see that works against your own philosophy? the motto would have to be 'prolonging ingnorance due to technical issues'

Much love to all of you, joining this website has already become one of the best things I've ever done on the internet, the experience of participating in the ats forums/community has been nothing but beneficial for me & will continue to be for all the foreseeable future & most likely beyond.

Never had time for forums till I found this website. Found it through a PDF copy of 'something something from an insider' which came to me in an occult e-book collection torrent, and was copied from one of the ATS threads.

Anyway back on topic, when is it likely you will be re-activating this reply notification feature???? in a year...2?....a week? ....once you hit a savings margin???

Hey, can anyone help me out with my avatar picture? It used to work, and now I'm getting a broken image icon in my posts. I've uploaded the image to my media - photos section, chose options, and selected "set as avatar" to no avail.

Anyone??

*EDIT*

Nevermind. The automated linking from my profile was parsing the "g" on the .jpg extension in the link. Added the "g" and viola!

How do I receive an email when a subscribed thread is updated?

Neither the search button on the top bar, or the search window right next to it, are working. No matter how simple the search, no results are returned.

I think that limiting quoted text in a post to 2 lines or less would at times be a very bad idea; it would lead to interpreting what others say, and that, in turn, could lead to arguments about putting words in poster's mouths; I know from experience. This is why I try to quote as much as possible, so that such accusations are virtually impossible. I have also certainly used the compound quote, when it's good to see in detail how a conversation is going; I once used something like 8 compounded quotes to get to some point that jthomas and Lillydale were arguing about over in the 9/11 conspiracies thread.

I contend that deleting or removing material from such posts would be detrimental to this forum.

Concerning your recent post on the one liners.

Can we ask for an exception in the event that a poster links to a news story or video that fails. The possibility of giving an off topic response is quite high in this event. It would also seem rude to just ignore the thread especially if it's in a forum we frequent.

Could we post a "link failed" response if we promised to go back and edit in a relevant discussion later?

Also your handbook link has always failed for me. What sort of secrets are hidden in the mysterious pages of the ats user handbook that is so protected the passing new user may not be graced by it's enlightenment?

Those generally are ok. After all, you're being helpful and pointing out that assistance is needed.

Just do so in a nice way and all is well.

Thanks for all the questions and replys, this information was very helpful to me as a newbie
