How does one become a moderator, administrator, etc?

Not that I want to be one. I am just curious who determines who is moderator (admin, etc.) Is it a vote or appointment or what?

This, unfortunately, would quickly lead to the sort of breakage that Allan is notorious for and therefore would render the whole concept of moderation moot as no-one would be able to post anyway...
I know what you are thinking now. What if Allan was in the Lounge at the same time, wouldn't he be incinerated with the rest of you? Wouldn't you all be one charred ash heap?
Rest assured, this can't happen. Whenever he is in the Lounge, Allan wears a full body kevlar suit. He says that it is for our protection and, given the scenario outlined above, I believe him.
See, when I joined the mod team, I was only expecting to shuffle some forum threads and swing the occasional banhammer. Little did I know that I would soon find myself standing guard against the flatulence-heralded apocalypse of all that is good in this world. As with Ragnarok, the Breakage of Allan foretold in Arch lore is inevitable. Even if I am able to maintain the taco grill as required during my tenure,  the responsibility will eventually pass to someone who falters in this task. This weight and many others are borne in silence by the mod team. Do not be so eager to step behind the curtain and know the truth of things. When the time comes, we may call upon one of you to assume this solemn duty, but know this: there is no shame in taking the blue pill. Had I known then what I know now, I may have chosen differently, but I fear that no verbal warning could adequately convey the true horror of being confined to an enclosed space with a devout taco consumer. While you may believe that the life of an Arch mod is a glamorous carousel of never-ending fun, it is in fact a mephitic hell which one suffers for the greater good.
A well-kept secret of the mod team is that TGN actually stands for "taco grill notification", and it is used to alert other mods that the grill is in a critical state. That is why topics are inconsistently TGN'd. We do not take such notifications lightly.
Now if you'll excuse me, I must attend to my duties.

  • How does one hide Junk, Trash, Archive, etc. from Mail sidebar?

    In the Mail app in OS X Mavericks, the part under Mailboxes now shows: "Sent", "Junk" , "Trash" and in my case "Archive". "Draft" appears when you have a message in progress and does not disappear unless you restart Mail. These are not the ones that appear, particularly when accessing mail via iOS, those are easily deleted. However, these appear built in. Under Mountain Lion, I've arranged all my sub-folder and in some cases sub-sub-folder so that I could see all the folders without having to scroll to see folders that I was interested in. Now with all that unneeded stuff near the top that has appeared with Mavericks, I have to scroll. Does anyone know a way to disable or at the very least hide those folders, all I really want is Inbox. When trying to delete these Mailboxes, I get an error saying that an internal folder cannot be deleted.

    @leonie,
    Thank you. However, not quite what I was looking for. I don't want to see those built-ins, ever. Not anywhere. While reordering is ok, I have 6 email accounts managed by Mail, they still bug me. That said, it solves the scrolling problem, but the Inbox becomes inconvenient. Those built-ins bother me in the sense that they have only appeared with Mavericks, and did not do so since the days of .mac back in 2002, and iTools before that. MobileMe had been the worst version of what is now iCloud and was generally getting better until Mavericks. I can only hope Yosemite is better.
    In other words, not looking for method of use work arounds. I was hoping for some .rc (*NIX Run Control) file somewhere or some plist change. Of course I prefer more control via preferences in the Mac GUI, but I'm very comfortable doing things in the Terminal since I have been a *NIX (Solaris/Linux) system administrator for a decade. I'm just haven't managed a BSD system for some time. I'm not new to the Mac either, using since System 6 in 1988. This is a fundamental change in behavior of the Mail app. I guess I'll keep trying to get Apple to make things more customizable.
    Thanks for taking the time.

  • Serious SEO problem--How does one apply SEO description, keywords etc. to catalog and product pages?

    I'm working with the BC template TRIBECA. It comes with 2 page templates. I used one of the templates to create the catalog and product pages. Now I'm stuck with a single description tag and keyword tag for SEO purposes. Is there a workaround other than creating multiple template pages, one for each catalog and product page?
    UPDATE- I mistakenly mentioned I used template to create product pages. Actually product pages are created with a template but not one you can choose. This mystery template uses 2 h1 tags which is an SEO no,no. How do I remove one of the h1s?

    You should be able to ammend that layout by going to your Admin>>Site Manager>>Module Templates>>Online Shop Layouts.
    All the necessary files will be there. I suspect it is the Overall Layout and Individual Product - Large you are after...
    You can also make use of custom 1,2,3 and 4 tags for extra descriptions etc as BC will automatically render meta tags in the corect spot if they are included in the layout.
    ...also, note that when creating a catalog, you can add a title and description...
    ...and you can create custom layout templates too>> refer to this article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/using-custom-templates-modules.html

    Only iTunes purchases may copy over via File > Transfer Purchases - otherwise syncing is one way, from the computer to the device. To get the rest of your music/films etc onto the new computer you can copy the backup from your old computer onto the new one and then load them into iTunes

  • HT1918 How does one organise the apple ID so that one uses the same email address to have an account on both the UL and Belgian itunes stores?

    I have in the past created an Apple ID for use with the UK itunes store, because I want to read in English.  If I sign in it seems that this ID will only allow me to purchase from the UK store.  But I live in Belgium, so I can't download from the UK store.  So I tried to create an apple ID for the Belgian itunes store.  But I want to use the same email address as I used for the first apple ID I made (because I'm fed up of having to remember which email address I used for which account).  When I tried this, I just get a message saying that the email address is already in use for another account (which I know, because it's me who made that account).  Does anyone have a workaround for this?
    cheers
    Andrew

    I have tried again using the same password. and it still doesn't work.
    I'm presuming you went ahead and set up a new Apple ID, yes? Using the same password in more than one Apple ID has worked for me in the past, but I haven't tried it in a while so the tightened security may have changed that. You could use the same password but add "-UK" and "-BE", or something like that, to make it easier to remember.
    I understand what you mean about losing the ability to deal with UK purchased stuff, but this is becoming so inconvenient that I do want to delete that UK apple ID account.  I have looked everywhere I can think of on the apple website (apple id, itunes, support etc) and I can't find a link/eplanation/contact point that deals with deleting apple ID and itune store accounts.  Surely this must be possible?
    It's possible, but Apple is very reluctant to do it, and it's not something a user can do on their own. It would be better to just stop using the UK account rather than trying to get it deleted. Just remove your payment information and there should be little reason to have the account deleted. If you really want to try, though, you'll need to send a message to iTunes support specifying that you want the account cancelled.
    On a completely different matter, I have bought my son an ipod touch.  But since he is younger than 13 years old, how does one go about using the itunes store to get music onto his ipod touch?
    You would need to buy tracks for him; he's too young to have his own iTunes Store account. To control what gets synched to his iPod, this should help:

  • How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages w/ Messaging 3.X?

    How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages with Messaging 3.X?
    <P>
    In an ISP environment there are times that a user changes his
    login name (his unique identifier in the ISP's network, also used as
    his email address) from one value to another. It is very convenient
    for the ISP to be able to move messages from the user's old mailbox
    to the user's new mailbox when this situation occurs.
    <P>
    With Messaging Server 2.0, this was easily accomplished by simply
    moving the mail messages on disk. However, with the added complexity
    of Messaging 3.0 where there are back links, reference counts, etc.,
    associated with mail messages, moving files on disk from one mailbox
    to another is no longer valid.
    <P>
    The MoveUser utility, which is new in MS 3.X, moves messages from
    one messaging server to another or from one maildrop path to another.
    Can this utility be used to move messages from one mailbox to another?
    <P>
    The answer is yes, it can. The user should be aware that if
    duplicate email message id's exist in the mailbox before the
    move, the messages related to the duplicate message id's will
    be duplicated in the target mailbox.
    <P>
    See the online documentation contained with the product or the
    Messaging 3.X Administrator's Guide for exact syntax.

    Hi
    If I understand you correctly and if you are using Apple Mail version 2.0 or above navigate to /Users/Home folder. The Home folder is the one with the house icon, within that folder you will see a Library folder, within that folder you’ll see a Mail folder, within that folder you’ll see a folder that begins with POP followed by your name, within that folder will be a folder called INBOX.mbox, within that folder is a Messages folder. All the mail that you see within the application are there. They will be numbered and have a file suffix of .emlx. You can move these wherever you like.
    If you are using Entourage X, or Entourage 2004 you can easily multiple select mail messages, addresses etc from within the application and drag whatever you’ve selected to wherever you like.

    Hi gunnermac,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]].
    If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].

  • How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

    How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion?  I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now.  Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

    Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
    For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
    I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.

  • How does one pass import parameters to a report within a method?

    Hello all,
    Well how does one  pass import parameters to a report which is within a method ...end method.
    for example :
    method 123
    SUBMIT reportname using selection '1000'
    endmethod .
    Here we need to pass values into the selection screen and run the report for those values.
    The values are say 'ABC'   (  tablename "DEF" and field name "HIJ" ).
    I hope the question is clear, awaiting your response 
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sandeep.

    Go to SE24
    Parameters: Give the Parameter name, Typing method is "Type" is the domain type that u are selecting, say for e.g :  Parameter is "P_CONT" , its associated type "CHAR32" etc
    For Select Options:  Parameter name say "S_CUST", Type"importing". For this you need to give an associated type which must be created as "TABLE TYPE " in SE11. That table type needs to have a "LINE TYPE" .
    LINE TYPE is a Structure created with components "SIGN, OPTION, LOW & HIGH" for select-Options.
    NOTE: for a Table type related to Customer data fields "say KUNNR", the line type created must have the Component Type and data Type corresponding to the Data Element associated with "KUNNR" ;i.e: "CHAR" etc.
    See if this is clear to you or revert back in case of any Confusion.

  • How Does One Modify Photoshop Templates in Dreamweaver

    I posted this over on the Photoshop forum, but no one has
    replied. It is a hybrid sort of question.
    I've been trying to modify the Horizontal Neutral template of
    the Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS using Dreamweaver MX (v.6.1)
    on my G5 running Tiger and am almost there. Aside from the overall
    design (fonts and colors) I really like the interface of this
    particular gallery with a horizontal slider to quickly scroll
    through images, that when selected, appear in large form in the
    center of the page. But I need to customize it to get it to match
    the feel of my site.
    My problem: I'm trying to point to a gif file that is part of
    my website image library as my background. I want the Horizontal
    Neutral Gallery to float in that image background. But, I can't
    seem to get the background image to appear where it is supposed to.
    I've gone into the various components of the template
    (FrameSet, SubPage, etc.) and by duplicating the files and
    modifying the code, I am able to get the background image to appear
    within the tables that make up the navigation and image gallery
    components. But, I've not been able to get the image to appear as
    the background itself.
    I'd even be happy to simply have the entire Horizontal
    Neutral Gallery float in the middle of one of my own pages with the
    image file as a background if it is possible, but can't seem to
    even get it to do that. How does one access the code that controls
    the background image in this template or the script that generates
    these galleries?
    Thanks in advance!

    In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    Hi JohnDory,
    The information side-bar from iPhoto has been removed in Photos App, and so it's been converted into a pop-up window showing both the exposure, aperture and so technical photo parameters, as well as the comments, faces and LOCATION for that photo.
    This small floating window is shown whenever you click the button in the app title bar, right clicking a specific photo or pressing ⌘i
    If you open the albums view (clicking in the name of the album list, NOT an album name, you can see in your left sidebar - which can be shown or hidden) and press ⌘i without selecting a specific photo the Info pop-up will show the map for your whole library (as well as the total amount of photos, videos, GB used, etc)
    So, I'm afraid the "Locations" view (which I really loved) from iPhoto has been ripped off... and we can only get "some sort of locations view" by this method.
    As for locations... there is no option for manual geotagging (so, setting location to a specific photography which doesn't have it yet)... that really ****** me off 
    Regards,

  • HT201991 How does one write a review for an app?

    I would like to write a review for an app I bought from the App Store.

    Where? In the App Store via the internet (e.g. on my iMac), OR via the App Store button on my iPad Mini?
    "Click "Write a Review" in the Customer Reviews section."
    How? I could find no active link associated with the Customer Reviews section once I had located the item for which I wanted to write a review.
    So the question remains "How does one write a review for an app?" … and, so far as things stand, the instructions provided in the page <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3928> are, as far as I can tell useless. Certainly, the Apple website and associated instructions have become, for this long-time user, more akin to Microsoft Windows in their impenetrable lack of intuitive, user-friendly ccharacter.
