[PumpkinJack81]

I have just a couple of quick questions:

1) Will we later have the option to have our own avatar?

2) Can we add small pictures to our signatures?

3) Would it be possible to get new smilies?

[AllThingsChristmas]

I too am wondering if we're going to be able to have at least our own avatars.

[cmrobert]

I too am wondering if we're going to be able to have at least our own avatars.

Hi. You already can have your own avatar. Go to User CP then avatar and upload one.

[Oliver]

I dont think that we could have avatars when first joined the forum. I didnt know that this software had an option to disable them.

It does not matter now, everyone has avatars and we are all happy.

Best Wishes

You are correct Oliver... The option to enable avatars was not initially chosen, but we are all glad it has since been. :) It's fun to see everyone's personality show through their avatars.

[cavaliers60]

nevermind. I see it now.

[Noel]

I was just wondering if "allthingschristmas.com " is to last all year long ?
And what about the forum, will it close ?

[AllThingsChristmas]

Hi Noel

Both allthingschristmas.com and the forum will stay all year long and we will keep posting christmas news in the blog. Allthingschristmas will grow with even more pages, information and new exciting features in the comming months. :kinky elf:

What did you have in mind? If there is a website that relates to a topic or thread, then by all means share it. We just have to be careful of spam advertising.

How can we get a countdown ticker under our signature?:confused:

How can we get a countdown ticker under our signature?:confused:

Hi Christmas Queen, :waving:

I'm sorry I haven't replied to your question yet...There are a few sites you can use to create a countdown ticker. The one in my signature is from TickerFactory: www.tickerfactory.com (http://www.tickerfactory.com). Another good site is TickerCentral: www.tickercentral.com (http://www.tickercentral.com). Both have step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow.

Hope that helps!

also hi everyone just came:merrychristmas::santa-smiley:

I see that you already have an avatar, but I wanted to share a website with you where you can look for Christmas avatars:

http://www.avatarist.com/avatars/Various/Holidays/Christmas/

They also have lots of other avatars to search for if you have a favorite sport, movie or cartoon character you'd rather have.

[PumpkinJack81]

Yes, I know your aunt. :D

You think that people would be more comfortable if someone a little more trustworthy were running it?
Say... a MOD?
I'm just saying that having a card exchange is a great idea - or even a Secret Santa, maybe, I don't know if it's too late to start something up at this stage, but maybe I'll post something this weekend to see if people are interested.

Well i'll be in if it gets going..:elf1:

[SnowAngel]

I'm planning to send out my Christmas cards early next week (so behind, I know), so I could probably send another couple of cards out in the exchange.

[ornamentmaven]

My old Christmas forum had an exchange with about 70 members participating. The cut off for participation was very early in November. So we are very late getting organized with this - particularly for sending international cards!

[ezb1]

A question for the moderators --
Since I am a first-time user to this forum, I prefer to not get 'permanently banned' for posting a link.
However, I wish to ask permission.
Again this Christmas, the manufacturers are advertising products and then not supplying stores with enough product to meet the demand. This causes a lot of frustration among shoppers because new shipments sell out very quickly.
I have access to free on-line software that can help your members find hard-to-find and/or out-of-stock merchandise at Amazon.
The software checks stock every 5 seconds and rings a bell on the searcher's computer when new stock arrives. This puts searchers who use this software about 90 seconds ahead of most other programs that check Amazon stock -- which gives them a better chance of getting what they want at retail prices.
Yes, I earn a small commission when people buy through that link. As you may know, Amazon's commissions are in dimes and quarters -- so, yes, the commissions are really small.
But this could help your people get what they want.
May I post this link?

[AllThingsChristmas]

Its best to post a relevant link when you have written several relevant posts. Seven or more posts. Also please write some info about the link (like above) before you are posting.

Thanks

how soon after reporting a spammer does it normally take to either get rid of the offending posts or ban the spammer? Just wondering because I just reported some of Kathleen422's posts. This spammer has many spam/advertising messages on the new posts page right now. I don't know about anyone else, but I feel angry when I see posts like this. Thanks so much , allthingschristmas, for all your hard work and for this wonderful site.

Steph, thanks for reporting, This user's posts have been deleted and they've been banned.
I'm sorry, I'm trying to stay on top of these, but sometimes it takes a little time, as we're not always online. Thanks for your help though, reporting posts like those really helps me out.
(And yet, I get angry too!)

:elf3:

[steph535]

Chantelle, there is no apology needed. You took care of it very fast, I would say. And when I asked how long it would take to remove the posts/ban the person, it was not with the attitude of 'gee-what's-taking-you-guys-so-long.' I mean, I had literally just reported her and it would have been ridiculously unrealistic and impatient of me to expect it to already have been taken care of. So, thanks so very much for taking care of the problem so quickly. And thanks for your post.

[tinkerbell2]

Question.......dont suppose we could have some weather related smilies and ones
to say Hello as well.
Please,:smitten::smitten:

[angelpugs]

here are a couple of good sites to get christmas smiles and other graphics as well,i get alot of mine from those.:santa2::merrychristmas:

[olga]

Well, I dont know whats going on.. When I join the forum from work, all colors in AllThings Christmas are normal.
When I go home and join forum from my pc, there is a dark red color, that makes it really difficult to see clearly..
Could you please check this out?

Thank you.

[ornamentmaven]

I have dark colors on my PC as well - very difficlt to read!

[olga]

Yes, its very difficult, indeed.
Lets hope this problem will be taken care of.

[AllThingsChristmas]

Can you please send a screendump of both colors to contact@allthingschristmas.com ?

Then we will fix it.

Thanks

[AllThingsChristmas]

Also please tell us wich OS you are using and the browser.

Thanks

[olga]

Thanks, Im sending you an email right away.

[AllThingsChristmas]

Thanks to a mail from Olga, things should be back to normal now. :) It whas a problem in IE, not in Firefox. Tell us if you still experience problems with the colors.

Thanks

[olga]

Well, both web browsers seem just fine to me, when joining the forum. Hope everyone else is also ok.

Thank you for taking care of the problem. I really appreciate it.

[ornamentmaven]

Thanks for fixing the problem

Hello, I think there is something wrong again with IE. :confused:

The menu bar (Register, Today Posts, Calendar, Search etc..) should be red with white letters, just as it was before.
I've noticed that when I click on Quick Links for example, I can not see very clearly the sub categories.. Could you check this out please?
Firefox seems to me ok. :elf3:

I also noticed that 2 things are missing from IE, the one is about becoming a fan of AllthingsChristmas at Facebook and the other that welcomes people to Christmas forum.


Thanks for your time, again :rolleyes:

Hi
Not sure if this is an issue or not but i keep getting an email message from a "Ladyadministrator" at allthingschristmas saying i have a virus on my comp and directing me to another website to sort it out. I see this person is new to join here and not posted anything so is this a scam? I havn't been on for a while so don't know how they would get my details other than trawlling the pages here.

Hello, is there something wrong with p.m.s?
Because they seem to have disappeared.

And could you please do something about all those who definitely dont love Christmas, log in and advertise everything they have, destroying our threads?
Its so annoying!!!

Thanks

Lady admin is in again!! With name ForumTeamSupports

She is in right now.

[AllThingsChristmas]

Hi,

Thanks for your fast respons.

We have deleted the user named ForumTeamSupports. We have disabled PM to prevent virus attacks, but now it should be possible to use PM again.

We are still not 100% sure we have prevented virus PMs, so please tell us if you receive something virus related.

Oh well thank God it's not just me. I thought I was the only one .

[ornamentmaven]

Me too, but I was having trouble with Facebook as well!

[Home alone 2]

Looks like the main page is being updated , it now says "Welcome to All Things Christmas 2010" instead of "Welcome to All Things Christmas 2009" Which it said the other day. And were the snowflakes on the main page always there? Never noticed them before...

[MissSantaClaus]

What's wrong with the forum ?

[MissSantaClaus]

To AllThingsChristmas: Can you please make it right soon? Slow loading, spammers ...

[ornamentmaven]

Also, it was signing me off every few minutes last night

[Xmas Annie]

I thought it was just my computer... I cleaned off my cookies but it's still loading a little slow. When I click on the forums "quick links" to preview daily posts, the page appears blank, yet the loading prompt says "done"...

[ChantelleJoy]

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I personally wasn't experiencing any issues on my home computer (I use Firefox Browswer), but tried using the forum on my work computer (using Internet Explorer) and cannot believe how terrible the load time is! It takes several minutes (more than 2 minutes!) to load each page!!!

I have contacted the Admin and hopefully they'll be able to look into the problem and get back to us shortly!

Thanks for your cooperation in the meantime. Obviously we'll want this fixed before the end of the month and the Season really kicks off!!!

:)

Hang in there!

[MinnesotaMike]

Any chance we can please re-open the Christmas Recollections sub-forum?

Yeah...not sure what the password is supposed to be because my only password for ATC does NOT work.

[ChantelleJoy]

The Christmas Reccollections forum was closed due to the DOZENS of Spam Threads started daily when we were having our influx of Spam Users. Hopefully, that issue has been resolved, so I've taken the password off.

I'll be watching it closley, and if it starts up again, we may have to close it down permeintly (or re-start it).

:)

I've moved your thread to the QUESTIONS for ADMINs post and I hope that our Site Admin's can check on this - it doesn't work for me either.

In the meantime, I always listen to Accuholidays (http://www.accuholidays.com) online while I'm browsing the forum! :)

[SilverBells]

I've noticed that I'm not receiving e-mail notifications on time or any at all sometimes. And at the top left under the Home and Forum squares, there is some overlapping that covers the words "new posts" and "messages". I think that's what it says anyway :p

[angelpugs2]

The page is jumping a bit at the bottom and the arrows keep going up and down you have to chase them and it won't let you do attachments on your page what is going on i'm getting tired of chasing the page to post this is a mess.:elf2:

[AllThingsChristmas]

We agree. We are looking into this.

[ChantelleJoy]

I don't think I was having the same issue here, but just to be safe I've removed the snow for now. It's an external script, so it shouldn't be effecting the forum functionality whatsoever, please feel free to respond if the issue continues.

Thanks - it must have been the snow! No more flashing!

[tinkerbell2]

I agree, its stopped now...thanks.:elf3:

[SilverBells]

It stopped doing the "flashing" thing at the bottom and side arrow so all good for me. Maybe it was the "snow". Too bad, I liked the snow :p
Thanks Chantelle :elf3:

[angelpugs2]

:hopxmas:everything is back to normal thank you.:christmastree:

[SnowAngel]

What happened to the snow? Will you be bringing it back Chantelle?

[MinnesotaMike]

I don't know how to edit a thread title. Can you please capitalize the "C" in Christmas on my new "countdown" thread? Gracias!! :)

[tinkerbell2]

Hi..:waving:

Every time I try and log out I get this message?

502 Bad Gateway

nginx/1.2.4

[Hoosier@Heart]

Help, I am unable to upload an avatar. When I try it always says 'Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file.' Am I doing something wrong or do I just have to wait for an Admin to turn something on on my profile? I resized the image to fit the guidelines, so I don't think that is the problem... ???

Thanks

Chantelle - just so you know - mikaldinho has not been active this year, so I don't know if he'll be back to start the 2013 Christmas card thread.

Also, I was having trouble posting photos here - haven't tried it lately

He posted in August to say Hi (http://www.allthingschristmas.com/forum/threads/7020-It-s-been-a-while!), and said he's been quite busy now that he's done school.
I'll wait till November 1st to see if he comes back, or I'll start an Exchange Thread myself. :)

Let me know if you're still having photos problems.

[tinkerbell2]

I'm having trouble with posting photo's too...:(

[ChantelleJoy]

Those of you who are having trouble posting photos: I'll contact the Admin immediately - I don't know why it's giving an error (it's happening to me too).

Its happening for a few weeks now, but, I thought was something wrong with my browser/pc etc..

Anyway, I would really appreciate if you could fix this.. :elf2:

I don't think it's your computer, Olga, since the same thing happened to me. Unfortunately, I can't fix it, but maybe Chantelle can

[ornamentmaven]

It has been that way for months - maybe even longer. I usually don't bother logging out either because we are logged out automatically after a period of time of non-use.

[ChantelleJoy]

*Puts on her most official looking Santa Hat*

I can't fix this, I think it's a software problem, so I've contacted the Admin - either they will, or I will update again! :)

[ChantelleJoy]

Just to let everyone know - even though the landing page gives an error, the logout process still works fine, you still log out, even though the confirmation screen gives an error.

The admin is aware of the problem, and will update when it's changed.
I know it's bothersome, but at least it's fully functional!

Actually, Chantelle, after logging out, getting the error screen, closing my browser window, bringing it back up, going back on ATC, I am STILL logged in.

Hrm. I was told it works. It also doesn't work for me. I'll let them know.

thanks, Chantelle

[Merry Christmas Darling]

Oh, I thought it was a problem with my computer!

[steph535]

why is it that posts are showing up twice on this thread lately??

[ChantelleJoy]

Steph, they only seem to show up twice when you "Quote" - I've been deleting the duplicates - I'll let the admin know about that too.

[MinnesotaMike]

I can't remember the last time I actually "logged out". Funny.

[steph535]

thanks, Chantelle

Hi, I have the time on this forum set to GMT, but the time is completely wrong. Not even the minutes are right. I am posting this at 12:21 AM on 14th November.

Edit: But it's coming up as 12:50 AM.

yep, the time has been off for at least some of us for a long time, I don't really pay attention any more.

[HolidaySeason]

I guess it must be a problem with vBulletin, then. I don't think you can set the time on individual forums.

[ChantelleJoy]

It seems that it's 1/2hr ahead of actual time (if you have your time zone set right) - I've brought it up to the admin before, but I think it might be a server issue. :(

[Merry Christmas Darling]

Why can't I actually sign out? Whenever I come here, I'm already signed in.

[MinnesotaMike]

Why can't I actually sign out? Whenever I come here, I'm already signed in.

Why do you want to? I have the forum bookmarked. Whenever I click it, I'm all ready to go!

[ChantelleJoy]

Mike - some people share computers, and don't want others logged into their account.

I've addressed the Log Out issue with the admin - so they're aware but need to update the forum software (vBulletin), which they plan to do soon, to update it.
Hopefully the time issue & the log out issue will be resolved soon. In the meantime, Sorry!

[Moley]

Dear Chantelle,

How do I go about getting my forum name changed from The Mole to Moley? (Which is more informal.)

Please make it happen!

Best wishes,

The Mole, aka Moley.

[ChantelleJoy]

You're all set as MOLEY.

Let me know if there are any issues signing back in!

[ChantelleJoy]

You're all set as MOLEY.

Let me know if there are any issues signing back in!

[Moley]

Thank you! As you can see the login works fine.

[*Snowflake*]

will we have snow here on the forum again like last year ?:snowing:

[steph535]

are videos from youtube allowed on here? ATC forum member Aputernut has a beautiful video of their home all decorated inside and out for Christmas 2013 and is having trouble posting it. I know I saw it, and I am pretty sure I saw it on ATC, but now it is gone and it would be a shame to not give others an opportunity to see this gorgeous video. thanks very much.

Chantelle - stupid question - I should know the answer, but how do you empty your message inbox? I was told mine was full

[ornamentmaven]

Never mind Chantelle - I figured it out!

[chocolatechip1979]

I no longer can use Google Chrome to access this site. I have to use Explorer. Any one else have issues?

[tlazer]

Since I cannot upload Christmas ornaments can I copy and paste them to a Thread?

We recently updated our HTTPS settings, hopefully it's working now?

You should be able to use the BB code to include images, we just can't host them at the moment!

Thank you Snowflake - I've been working really hard on the site / facebook this year! :D

[LoriYork]

I just joined this forum, and read something that said it CLOSED in 2018. What does that mean, if the forum is still here???

[chocolatechip1979]

Yes. The admin brought it back to life after some TLC. It's a beautiful site. Welcome to the group. :waving:

[ChantelleJoy]

Lori,

Yes, I did close the Forum from May - November of 2018 but I could't bear the idea of Christmas without it, so I brought it back! :) Happy to have you here!

[Mistletoe]

Hi, Chantelle. I can't reply to a lot of my subscribed threads. They don't say that they're locked, there's just no reply buttons anywhere. Some of them are short threads, so they're not too big...and they have replies in 2018. I'm thinking it must have been since the forum closed for that period of time...

[snowbell1]

Anyone know where Chantelle is i've sent message still haven't heard from her.:waving:

[Mistletoe]

Hi, snowbell! :waving:

No, I've tried to contact Chantelle a few different ways since last November and haven't been able to reach her.

[snowbell1]

​I've checked on fb but,doesn't seem all things gets used that much there and i've left messages still nothing,it's just strange like she disappeared.

[chocolatechip1979]

I know she is very busy with her Facebook page and all the exciting updates. I hope she gets back to you guys soon. :elf3:

[snowbell1]

:hopxmas:She did that's why i started my thread,keeping up with her new projects as it all sounds amazing.

[ChantelleJoy]

Hi all - I'm sorry - yes I've been super busy with other projects - but am always available by emailing chantelle@allthingschristmas.com if it's important - I CHECK IT EVERYDAY!
