| Robin asks: | Can I post HTML in my messages if I want to? | |||
|
|
|||
| Yes. I did consider allowing a small subset of HTML in replies but then wondered exactly why? | Batman explains: | These messages aren't for public display afterall, they're just going to your friends so if you want to send an ugly one with lots of <blink> tags and tables and whatever else then I don't think it's up to me to stop you. | ||||||

| Robin asks: | I've got a great picture of someone I'd like to upload but there's already an inferior picture of that person in the database. Can I upload under a different name? | |||
|
|
|||
| Technically, yes you can. There is a better way though.If you upload using the SAME name then the system will append a number (EG2) to the name in the list but that number is represed from output when it goes into the final message. | Batman explains: | In other words the same name will be used for both pictures, the number only identifying which picture to use. If your picture is more popular than the first picture it will no doubt go higher in the charts and the original picture will be delted in due cause. | ||||||

| Robin asks: | What order are these persona's on in the list? How can I quickly get to the persona I want? | |||
|
|
|||
| The Persona's in the list are in popularity order. In other words a name floats to the top as it gets more popular. This should mean less scrolling down the list in the long run. | Batman explains: | If you know the first letter of the name you're looking for you can click the list then press that letter on the keyboard. It will skip to the next name starting with that letter. Press again to go to the next one etc. | ||||||

| Robin asks: | How come the pictures don't appear in my email? | |||
|
|
|||
| Firstly, if your email client can't decode HTML files it won't be able to understand the replies at all and will probably give some fairly nasty looking results. | Batman explains: | Secondly, if you're offline at the time you read the message then the pictures can't be downloaded from the web. They're not included with the message you see, only a reference to their location on the web is included so if the email client can't get at them, it can't display them. Try connecting and looking at the message again. | ||||||
|
|
|
||||||
| Robin asks: | I don't want you to ever send me another message again, I can't even read them with my client damnit. | |||

| Fair enough, not everybody will enjoy our service and we don't mind in the least. Drop us a line at pre@dalliance.net asking us to remove you and we'll be glad to add your name to the blocklist so that people can't send to you from our servers. | Batman explains: | If you're thinking of complaining about us sending you SPAM or whatever try checking the "FROM" address on your message. That person is responsible for the message, not Last Retort per se. As I said, we'll be glad to add you to our block list but we have no "mail list" to remove you from. | ||||||
