Fleur De Lys and RumWall

Sorry bout long code. Bump!

How about instead of bumping your the thread, you use pastebin and put up the code, then someone might be able to help you.

Ok, sorry bout that. Here’s the RumWall (wall.php) file, and here is the theme page.php/single.php

Hope someone can help me. I’ve tried adding the header, and all the none php stuff into the wall file, but didn’t get it working.

Thanks

Bump again

Since you are obviously an idiot, as you can not understand the “no bumping idea”, I’m certainly not going to waste my time attempting to help you.

Perhaps someone nicer than I will come along and assist you, in the mean-time, I suggest you read WordPress Forum Behaviour and that you do not bump this thread again.

No need to get angry. Since we obviously think the same about each other, I’ll just make this post a solved one. Thank god there are more friendly and helpfull people than you here.

Guess I’ll have to go else where to get a decent reply and help.

Thanks for understanding.

Wow I would hate to see what happens to an noob if they do something worse then a few bumps.

I would suggest you re-read the same rules you qoute and notice the part about being polite.

Nnyan, I assume that’s pointed at niziol and not at simenfs, right?

Yeah, yeah, I’m a bastard, that’s all fine and good, not only are bumps completely useless, in fact they do quite the opposite of what the poster expects it will do. Let’s look at the chronology of this thread:

2006-02-20 10:44:54 – Thread Started

2006-02-21 00:28:44 – simenfs: Bump #1

2006-02-21 00:47:43 – Niziol says: “How about instead of bumping your the thread, you use pastebin and put up the code, then someone might be able to help you.”

2006-02-22 00:20:20 – simenfs say: “Ok, sorry bout that”

2006-02-23 17:48:59 – simenfs: Bump #2

If posters did not bump their threads, not only might they have actually been answered, but it would also greatly improve the respect on these forums, by not having useless bumps and not having people respond tersely to such bumps. Bumping and then complaining that their call for help has gone un-answered seems to be rampant and the solution is very simple: no bumps=no grumpy people, which means more time is spent helping and finding real answers, not thread after thread of *BUMP*, which helps everyone.

simenfs, I hope that you know how counter-productive bumps are and I do hope that you find a solution to your problems. ??

Cheers,
Michael.

PS: simenfs, even if someone wanted to assist you, your pastebins are empty, so no one could see your code.

*sigh* Michael, the point was not to name you the bastard you apparently already think you are, but to point up to anyone else that the latter poster was NOT saying the OP should have done the reading….

simenfs hasn’t posted here much. I doubt heesh will be back. You’re abrasive and fairly obnoxious (not that I’m not, but I’m not the problem with this thread), and while the OP did not maybe do strictly as YOU would have wished, your response was – um – ah – excessive, perhaps?

Regardless, the only possible good outcome for this whole thing would be if you (and many times I as well) decided to be kinder when posting herein. I’m taking that to heart; are you?

vkaryl, I think your a neat lady, so I will not argue with you. I will however, point out that the moderator who edited the inaugural post to this thread, simply removed his/her massive code block. Posting and bumping one when it is your first post, I can understand that, but not again after you’ve been asked not to.

As you’ve said in another post, all bumping an unanswered thread does is make it un-answered no more, thus reducing the chances of it being answered. The fact that I feel so strongly that bumping is detrimental to the forums is that the only things it seems able to effectively do is create an vast array of threads filled with nothing more than *BUMP* and evoke anger from others. This in unbelievably frustrating to someone searching for help and I say that as someone who is especially obsessive and has the patience to search for hours on end.

I certainly take that to heart and I do not strive to be mean, but if a request not to bump coupled with a suggestion that may make their problem more solvable is answered with another bump shortly after the fact, one must conclude that being more forceful is needed, as we can deduce that since the “bumper?? is able to write, they must also be able to read and is simply ignoring the request or does not care. Again, I do this not to be evil or heartless, but because I would like to see the forums evolve into something better.

I’m very un-emotive and so I do not consider that people may have hurt feelings, a large part of my work-life has been at the political level in government, so I’ve been called a vulgar plethora of names and have received a creative assortment of hate-mail, so I suppose I assume that everyone should have as thick of skin as I. We are all flawed, myself included, so I suppose one of my flaws is a lack of understanding.

But that still does not change the fact that if nobody bumped, there would be no need to censure the bumper – perhaps the community needs to confront the problem of bumping as it not only causes frustration to people needing help, it causes frustration to people looking to help, by having to repeatedly post the same solution because no one is able to find the original amongst the mass of ‘junk’ threads and in turn there would be more time to offer help and less opportunity to be crusty. If we can achieve a bumpless forum, I think that PAX TERRA (World peace) would be a little bit closer. ??

I think the world would be a better place if we all used Firefox, wore togas, spoke Latin and lived bumpless lives!

In WordPress kinship,
Michael.

Yeah. Up with firefox, but I don’t look very good in a toga….

Edit:
[I think my uncomfortable feeling here the last while is that contentiousness no matter the reason – or the fact that it’s obvious that 90% of the world doesn’t read the requests/rules or care to follow them if they do read them – is counterproductive.

I’ve actually been a fairly regular volunteer here for a year. I’ve had my moments of sheer fury at “one more of the same”. But I’m still here – so I guess I think it’s time to not allow the “norm” to bother me…. or to go away altogether. Yeah, I have a thick skin too. I’m too old NOT to have. But that’s not the point.

Bottom line: I will do my best to refrain from the idiocy sometimes exhibited by others in the hope that my contributions will be more valuable thereby. I’m not perfect, I’m assuming I will blow it – but I will try to self-edit in order to not further add to the volatility.]
