The "General" section of the FAQ has been updated with the changes coordinated by tina
Cool.
Here are the very very minor changes I originally posted for the next section. They got no comments - but I am posting them again (w/just a few changes and clarifications to the original post) just in case. I'll wait a day or two - post any significant changes if need be and then send the updated version to Jon.
Q: How do I register at this here Phoenix Board?
A. This answer is fine as is. Updates to the actual registration page, if any, will be handled separately.
Q. I want one of those tagline things. What do I do?
A. Looks OK. Links are good.
Q. How do I Post?
A. Looks alright to me.
Q. What's with all those cool cartoon versions of the cast?
Delete this Q and its A.
(In DXs and Dana's updates to the FAQ they both determined this should be archived/deleted. Others expressed a desire to keep it somewhere in the FAQ for Buffista History/Links to Our Past purposes.
I proposed some kind of history page where it and other stuff that is outdated but still important could live. Nobody seemed to care one way or another - so it looks like we just delete this forevah.)
Q. Can I use HTML to format my posts in nifty and interesting ways?
A. All good as far as I can tell.
Q. That HTML stuff sure is fiddly. I wish there was an easier way.
A. No changes.
Q. How do I quote something I want to reply to?
A. No changes.
Q. What do you guys consider a spoiler?
Q. Are all casting news items considered spoilers?
These are going to have to change once Angel is off the air but until then, we need to leave them as is.
Q. What if I can't determine if news is allowable under Summer Casting Rules?
Minor change here.
First sentence reads: "Don't post it. Ask in the applicable spoiler or spoilers-lite thread." So we need to delete ref. to lite.
New answer:
A. Don't post it. Ask in the applicable spoiler thread. One of our experienced Buffista Spoiler Companions will be glad to help you figure it out. Chances are, if it's legal information, one of them will have already posted it in the applicable show thread, anyhow.
Q. Do I have to use the white font for spoilers?
Minor change again to delete reference to Lite threads.
New Answer:
A. In the spoiler thread, no, but it's good form if there is something really really shocking and impending. Like, for example, quotes from an early-bird review. Also, be aware that people using text-only browsers like Lynx don't get any juice out of the white font, so it's nice to give them a text-only warning that there are spoilers ahead.
Q. How do you do the white font to hide spoilers?
A. Fine as is.
Q. Cool. Can I post in other colors besides white?
A. Link is good. Looks fine.
Q. How do I link to another Phoenix Board post?
A. Also fine.
Q. How do I link to something outside of the Phoenix Board?
A. No changes.
Q. How do I navigate around and between the threads?
A. We discussed changing this a while back - but never really decided how it could be any better. I think its very helpful as is.
Q. Is it okay to go off-topic?
A. No changes.
Q. Y'all talk a lot! I love it, but I can't keep up! Should I quit my job?
A. No changes.
