Attention Displaced DP Members

Down right now... I was just trying to download my years of comments using HHTrack too. That would really be a bummer if I missed the opportunity to snag all that I wrote over the years...

Unfortunately our time on the DP will come to end. Those who wish to stay in contact should gather here. It would be nice if you keep your call name. Or perhaps you'll want to start fresh with a new one.

Welcome "newbies".

For those who have been here a while. Thanks for having us!

Yeah and it's down hard. The "down" page says:

"The Daily Paul is currently undergoing maintenance and/or testing. During this time you cannot post articles, but you can read them. Thank you for your patience and support."

However, I can't load the site to "read them"! I also just tried Chrome (I only use Firefox to browse; lately there's been this bug where Youtube videos won't play at Youtube -- they'll play embedded at DP! -- so when I want to watch a Youtube video I'm using Chrome for now until I get up the energy to investigate), which I have never logged in with, and that won't load anything either (I was logged in, under Firefox).

So I have saved two posts that I wanted to make in a text file, waiting for it to come back up. I suppose there's no harm in "cross-posting" is there? (Although, here the initial words are "thread", there they're "post"; and to confuse issues further, the attachment to the initial words there are "comments" and here "posts" -- and, I think the DP's terminology is out of sync with the rest. So "cross-post-threading" or something? :))

Then again, is there a minimum number of posts (here) that I need to make before I can start a thread?

People cross-post between here and Daily Paul all the time, that is nothing unusual. As far as starting a thread, you should be able to do that on your very first post. I think you also need 3 posts to be able to post a link, so you should be good on that too.

Someone also mentioned not being able to access their mailbox earlier in the thread. You do need a certain number of posts to send and receive PM's, but the exact number Bryan would prefer for me not to state.

I find it rather odd to have "unwritten rules" but I'm not the owner. Thanks very much for the info!

I'm able to access my mailbox. I also just posted an image link, so that worked (in here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...Earth-Today!&p=5758348&viewfull=1#post5758348 ).

If you would be so kind, how does one start a post? (I know at DP it's at the top right of the banner; I've looked around here and haven't seen it yet.)

Thanks in advance!

Click on the forum you want to start a thread in and you'll see a blue box in the upper left hand area that says +Post New Thread - the box will turn burgundy when you move your mouse over it. That'll open up a new box where you stick your post.:)


^^^Or see jct's pic :)

Thanks to both of you! I've created my first thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...ake-it-s-fake-what-more-is-there-to-look-into
 
When posting a video link, which can be done via the second-from-the-right icon above this "Quick Reply" box, it's different from Daily Paul.

Note to others (I just put this info under another thread, and though I should share it here), you don't want to go to the controls below the video, click "Share", then click "Embed" and paste it, as that's an "iframe". You also don't want to click "Share", then click "Share" (below it) to get the one that starts with "http://youtu.be" URL, you want the one in the browser's address bar, which starts with "https://www.youtube.com". Cheers!
 
My first comment here

Hi TwelveOhOne. justDave here from DP. My user ID was already taken here on RPF, so I chose a new (really stupid) ID. I have read RPF for years but never commented as I didn't like my user ID... thanks Brian for all the help changing my name. Anyway thanks TwelveOhOne for your posts on how to embed etc.

That's an awesome username!

You could have been a little more creative, though, and used [yourfirstname]in[yourstate]. All the cool guys do that. :p

Hi DaninPA
I used to be cool- my first username on the DP was CarlsbadDJ ... then I moved to Oceanside and stopped going to my favorite beach in Carlsbad after a huge/nasty radar dish was installed. Also, as somewhat of a wanderer, I didn't feel like changing my name every time I changed my taxation zone.
 
Is there any way to sticky this for some new comers. With the DP closing down in a week it would be nice to have this in front. Thanks!
