me too, i've resorted to fiddling with my member status
(I thoroughly expect that sentence to be mis-quoted)
Okay you all have to guess how I managed to get around the 25 char limit on the custom status...
? meaning you can't find it or ? meaning you don't get what I'm asking?Quote:

Did you sleep with John? :D
'fraid not, nor any mod
Clue: I have had no contact with any person of authority about it
Is it some trick with ASCII chars or did you actually enter in +25 chars?
Count them!

LOL, I found it out. Check your PMs. :D
once upon a time, John told us how to see what SQL queries made up a page...how many make up the General VB forum index?
don't you put "explain=1" or something in the URL?
try it...

ok...for the prize..

Too late, you already lost. :p

I know how to get more than 25!
Save profile editing page to HD..
add <base href="http://www.vbforums.com/"></base> somewhere in there
change the maxlength=25 in the custom status box to remove the maxlength
Enjoy!
thanks a lot :)
hey filburt...upload your saved profile change page so everybody can have custom status

Come on Furby. Upload the profile page so we can make our own custom member status even under 1000 posts for now:D
Hmm, I wonder if our technique would work on him...Quote:

Damn it!:(
Bump
interesting thread:D
I can have a custom status NOW?? Somebody upload the bloody page already!
Would it work with Non-Custom status people?
That's what I'm asking. I don't have a lot of time right now, but can you try that and see what happens?Quote:

How are u meant to enter a custom status?
OK, I think in the profile page, if you pass a hidden value, such as "status =" whatever, then it might work.
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="status" Value="frog boy">
???
Maybe the post is too old and the rules about custom status have changes... maybe everyone had a custom status then:D
Aahh....
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="">
?
maybe not...
go to the profile page, and save it to HD. Right before the submit button, put that code. Maybe it'll work...
Dang... I tried
<input type="hidden" name="status" value="Frog Boy">
It didn't work.
I wonder what value the status field is....
eeh it's not like thatQuote:

they send the form with the POST method...in the GET method, I think you just say s=someStatus...
Working with the post or Get shouldn't make a difference... that should work all the same providedQuote:

Name="status" is the correct one. Now all you need to do is ask some custom status guy what value is used for that field...

That doesn't work.
Just try asking one of the admins.
I thought you were an admin. Was gonna ask you before, actually...
:( any other tricks?:D
