Could someone explain, or reexplain, the little white gift tag thing with the blue dash on it that appears next to some threads?

Is it a warning flag system for crankiness or something else?

[leah49]

The tag means the thread has been tagged. It just means the creator has added tags to it for better searching.

Sorry to repost this.. I'm just not sure if it was overlooked.

Only Ali knows how to answer that so you'll have to wait for him. He might be more likely to see it if you put it in tech issues.

Greetings all,

Just to say that album sizes for Students & Hogsmeade Students now stand at 150 pictures, so you can fill your albums up with more piccies. We'll be monitoring the sizes periodically.

Thanks and enjoy

I have two requests regarding social groups. I hope they're easy to fill. If they aren't, then well, don't bother. I wish we could minimize the section that lists the groups we are a part of. If you are a part of a large number, like I am, it takes a while to scroll down the list.

The other request is to see when the last post has been posted in the groups we're a part of. This way you can see easily if there has been a new post since the last time you visited without having to scroll through the lists for days if they aren't the groups with most recent postings.

Thank you.

I really like that 'previous version of edited posts' feature.
Very neat.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask such a question, but I'd like to know something about old threads. See, there is this Caption Contest thread v.7, and I'd like to read the older versions, but it says this:

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Is it possible to view those threads? If yes, how?

When you get this mesage, the thread unfortunately doesn't exist anymore.

We try to keep such threads, for particular contests and story threads from Quidditch Pitch and Magical Masterpieces, but unfortunately the software didn't work quite well for a long time until recently (threads stayed marked longer than they should and so got accidentally deleted), so that we lost many threads members enjoyed.

We sometimes of course also delete threads fully to get server space back, but I'm afraid this one was a glitch too.

[Tonks_Animagus]

Oh, ok. So they're deleted for good, aren't they? Thanks anyway
