pedigree changes

[secretariat]

I know this was brought up before, but I have noticed changes in earnings
on some horses. namely, grindstone and unbridled. I know their earnings are not correct. Roguelet
would you like us to let you know or just change them if our info is correct?

I believe Rogue is just the mod for the boards and doesn't have much to do with the actual database.

Where are you getting your earnings figures from?

Never mind. That was a Lynn Brown attack. Just PM those to me or go ahead and correct them yourself (I just corrected those two and fleshed out the stallion stats).

Sam's right, I'm just the board mod... however, I have had to correct some earnings recently myself... and removals of information, etc. If it continues, there will be no option but to lock down the database which would really be too bad, since so many people do contribute correct information...

Roguelet, when you say " lock down database " what exactly does that mean? Can we still view 5 generation pedigrees, and what will this mean for paying members ?

I would guess it means that no outside people would be able to edit the data. It would go back to how the site was originally set up with only a small select few people able to get in and make changes/add horses (no, I was not one of them ) and you'd have to email them with the info then wait a few days (weeks) for it to go in.

I'd like to see the database go to a login format like the message board FIRST to see if that curtails the problem.

The thing that has me curious about Grindstone and Unbridled is that it's only dropping the stakes information and the first number off the earnings. I can't tell if that is a system glich or not. I know for awhile, Lucy and I were seeing this weird glich where it would drop parts of the comment field mid word for no reason.

I agree with this solution not the latter.

( Hey Sam how do you put the quotes in the box I can't figure it out please help )

If you want to quote someone's message and have their name attached (like I just did), instead of clicking on the "Post Reply" button at the bottom of the thread, you click the "quote" in the upper right corner of the post you are quoting. You can clip out only the stuff you wish to quote once it opens the window, that way you don't end up quoting 8 paragraphs to respond to one sentence

(PLEEEEEEASE, be kind to the rest of us and edit out what you aren't responding to. This formats not that bad, but I live in Usenet and I get sick of people quoting pages and pages only to tag "me too" at the bottom .. and then some OTHER fool quotes all of that to add 3 more sentences ... which then gets another person to quote all 3 of them and add "me too". I've got this great post on quoting etiquette ... I should dig that up some day.)

If you are already in the "post a reply" window (the one with all the little emoticons on the left of the reply box) then you click the box at the top that says "quote" once. That will put the opening BBCode command in place (will be a "[", followed by the word "quote" and a closing "]") and a * will appear in the quote button indicating that the command is in place and open. Type or paste the text you wish to quote and then click the "quote" button again to close the BBCoding command.

Thanks Sam lets see if it works

I just got done looking up lots of popular sires all over. Looks like several of them have been messed with.

It didn't work ! I did what you said let me try again

Check your settings. It looks like it tried.

Click on the "profile" hyperlink at the top of the screen and scroll down to the "preference" settings. You may have to flip the button over to "yes" where it says "always allow BBCoding".

Pimp me a list and I'll fix them as fast as I can (in the middle of reading something right now -- hey, I multi-task quite well -- and still have 2 years of Prized foals to update first).

uuuuh ... Send me that list (and anything else regarding info that needs to be corrected) privately, please. That goes for everyone. Having JUST corrected Unbridled and Grindstone AGAIN today (as well as another stallion that is on my 'watchlist' for personal reasons, but not mentioned publicly) -- I have a fairly good idea what's going on, who's doing it and why and she is watching this message board to see when and if I've found her little acts of vandalism.

Sorry Sam first time back on since yesterday.
I do not remember all the horses I looked at and really do not want to deal with it. All I really care about are the pedigree's as long as those are acurate thats all I need.
