I was just browsing through the FAQs and came across something I have never heard of called Reputation under User Profile Features. Is this Reputation thing something new or really old?

no it's something old, it's been there for some time as a standard feature of our forum's software. We don't use it though.

Well, I'm glad we don't use it--worring about how my posts would be rated really would have freaked me out when I was a noob!

I'm not sure what's going on, but I noticed that in the last week the time settings have been switching from GMT +2 to GMT +3, on its own. Twice today, .

[Hes]

There might be a switch in Daylight saving time in your area. Take a look at your Date & Time options here. If you can't adjust it there, it's probably a bug. Also clearing your cookies and cache can help.

[bellatrix93]

Thanks, Hes. I'll check those settings.

How do you create new social groups?

[Hes]

Creating a Social Group:    

---

Go to your Magical Me and click on Social Groups. NOTE: You can access albums via your Profile as well. You can create a new social group or search on a new group. Create a Social Group. On this page you can set up how you want your group to be, from public to invite-only. You can add photos or not. Be warned though, Admins & Moderators can see all groups. This is how your group will look You can edit or delete your group from this page, as well as moderate any new members to the group.

Here you go

[captain Sparrow]

I have tried that but I can't find the sign that says create a new group anywhere...

[Hes]

If you are on the social groups page it's located under the existing groups. You may have to highlight the text if you use the DH UK skin.

[Alastor]

That's odd. When I go here: http://www.cosforums.com/group.php and scroll down to the bottom of the page, it's there.

You may also try this link directly: http://www.cosforums.com/group.php?do=create

[captain Sparrow]

As soon as I changed the background from DH UK to US, I found it.
Thanks

Hi I just noticed that there was a change made to the fun & Games area. We seem to have had some sub sections go by-by What happened ?

[gertiekeddle]

That's true. We inactivated the three April's Fool areas from a few years ago (Chamber of Dogs, Ponies and Chocolate) when some members of staff hard too detect *cough*took over the forums for one day and instaled a new regime...

With so many fun & chat areas at CoS we thought the threads topics could be discussed elsewhere. Is there a thread you miss? If so, please drop me an owl and I'll see what can be moved over.

Can I attach a .pptx (powerpoint presentation Ms Office 2007) document to my post here?

[gertiekeddle]

Nope, PowerPoint is no supported file. Sorry!

Has the 'Favourite track of HBP OST' (or something like that ) thred been closed down?

[Liselle]

The thread you're talking about isn't ringing bells but there is a Harry Potter sound track discussion thread
or a OOTP sound track thread.
