Apparently it is up to us to start our own Reports of Distinction threads in the USASexGuide. I cannot do so yet because I have almost 2 months to go until senior membership. Here is how a senior member did it:
[QUOTE=LoveLOS]Greetings everyone,
Per Jackson's brilliant idea on ISG, I've started this new thread to provide a centralized location to catalog the Forum's best informational reports. Here's the idea:
If you have written one or several detailed travel reports, or if you know of such reports, then please post the [b]link[/b] here.
You may also include a short summary of the nature of the report.
A [red][u][b]sample report[/b][/u][/red] would be something like this:
============================================
Here's a fucked up series of reports by BSR and LL on effective use of Google and USG/ISG for finding information for use in mongering
[post=491874]LoveLOS on how to RTFF[/post]
[post=491674]Bench Seats Rock on using Google[/post]
============================================
You can copy and paste the link into a report, or you can do it the easy way and use the [post] tags, which you would format like this:
[post]Post ID number here[/post]
[post=Post ID number here]Whatever you want your link to say here[/post]
You can identify the Post ID by moving your mouse pointer over the "Quote" button and reading the Post ID number in the Status Bar at the bottom of your browser window. It's the last number at the end of the link text, just after the letters "p=".
Hopefully your contributions here and the subsequent use of this thread will reduce many of the stupid RTFF questions and subsequent RTFF stupid newbie firefights we wade thru here...

I'm not sure these examples came through in their entirety. If not look in DC or do an advanced search for LoveLOS posts - DN.
Ouch. My post count just dropped from 136 to 131. I don't think any posts have been erased for rulebreaking and I don't think any of my threads, even test posts, have been eliminated. Is this a computer error?

Hi Double Nickle,
No, the total count was changed to reflect a number that does not include contributions to the Jokes section.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to figure out why I have not reaached Senior Status. I have well over the posts needed and tenure was met just over 2 weeks ago.
Thanks.
A couple of times I have used the quote function to partially quote another member's report. Unfortunately the quotations have appeared as regular text, not in the blue box and without citing the name I am referencing. I realize this isn't a term paper I'm writing here, it just looks confusing. My question is: is there any way to go back and edit my reports so that the quotes appear properly? Thanks!

If the edit button is still there (it only lasts a short time), yes. Be sure you have "QUOTE=author" inside square brackets at the beginning, followed by the text with no intervening space. At the end of the text put "/QUOTE" inside square brackets with no intervening space.
You can even make up your own quotes although this somewhat defeats their purpose:
[QUOTE=author]inside square brackets...end of the text put[/QUOTE]
Hello,
It seems the "New Reports" link is not working at this time, at least for me. Just wanted to let you know of the problem.
Thanks
Neither New Reports or the Search function were working for me yesterday either. I got an error message that there was a problem accessing the database or something. However, both are working now.
How do I delete my post? Someone pm me please a. S. A. P. Thanks.
The attach photo or files button does not appear when I reply or submit a post. Any one else encounter this problem? Solutions?
Thanks in advance.
For some reason I am always logged in. Everytime I finish reading I log out and then when it asks if I'm sure I want to log out I click on yes. However, it doesn't work, when I come back to the site I'm still logged in. While it hasn't caused me any problems yet, I do foresee a day when someone is using my computer and sees that I'm logged onto usasexguide as civ2000. Help? Suggestions?

Delete your cookies and browsing history every time you close your browser window for the final time before turning off your computer.
I simply can't post a report.
I have tried to fix the problem and can't come up with any solutions.

Hi Dmgdgoodz,
Obviously, you are able to post reports.
Thanks,
Jackson[/blue]
If I take more than about 5 minutes to write a post, I am prompted to re-enter by username and password after I hit the "submit report" button. After I log back in, the text of my post is gone.
I've been working around this by copying the post to the clipboard and then pasting it back after logging in. This is a bad solution for a shared computer. If the clipboard isn't cleared, control-V can paste it again.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls how long it takes to log you off while you are writing a post?
Jackson,
For about the last 3 to 4 weeks, at times the site is unacessible because it times out.
I thought it might be a temporary problem at the time so I didn't note exctly when it started. I was one of those who actively posted in the Presidential election thread and it was not a problem then. I am guessing this problem started around mid November. It definitely had occurred by Thanksgiving as I recall having difficulty accessing the site over the holiday.
At first thought, I figured it was a problem with my computer. But I am not having this problem with other web sites. Only with USAsexguide so I think the problem is with the server. At times access is great and at other times I cannot view messages or post at all.
Not a complaint and not sure there is anything you can do about it but I wanted to make you aware of it. I am curious if other members have reported this as well.
Regards,
CB
