Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
Usually No. You can not use HTML tags in any field.
Why is my post killed because of a 'CYRYL lamesness warning'?
Our board is protected by a script routine that reads all posts before they go on the board. If you are trying to post something, for example, like 'teach me how to hack' or 'how do I hack Geocities pages?' your post will not get through. At least, 90% of the time.
Why do I get that rude message when I use the <blink> tag, any <*script> tag, or a <meta> tag?
See point 1.
Why do I sometimes get "ERROR: XX Minute Post Rule" error messages?
We have hard-coded some "anti-spam" features into the cgi scripts to prevent people from spamming the Board. If you see the error message when posting or replying to a post, then simply hit the browser "Back" button, wait the given time and try again. It might be frustrating, but the spam prevention code has been added to allow users to enjoy the freedom the original Board gives, with the added security of the "anti-spam cgi code" to prevent abuse.
Why do I get an "Access Denied" Message when I try to post something?
Because either you, someone using the IP address you currently have, or someone from your class B or C IP block has abused the system and you are currently banned indefinitely. If you think there is a mistake, then contact us, and we will consider your request for removing the ban.
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 follow up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. Leave them there if you want people to know who is saying what.
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.
