Off topic Discussion

Interesting discussion threads that don't fit into any other forum will be moved here.

"Where did my post go? How can I find it?"

I just happened to move another article into the Offtopic Discussion forum and SunShadow wondered, "Gee, where did my post go?" So, I figured I would write this post in an attempt to answer that.

There are a couple of ways to find your posts:

1) You can click on the recent posts link on the left to a list of posts that were recently made or commented on. If yours was within the last 20 or so posts that were made, it should be on this list.

2) You can click on the link that says my account over on the left. Then click on the link at the top of the page that says, "track". That will bring up a list of every post you have ever made and/or commented on.

Welcome to the Offtopic forum (please read before posting)

The purpose of this forum is to hold discussions which, for one reason or another, we think are interesting, but aren't necessarily related to Anthrocon or appropriate for any of the other forums.

This is currently an experimental forum -- a test if you will. This individual forum may go away at any time without notice. (We warned ya Smiling )

getting to Anthrocon via plane/Fursuiting at the con

How would you get a partial/full fursuit through security as Carry On Baggage? If and when I go to AC 2013, I need to be able to just keep the mask and suit with me, as I do not trust baggage claim.

And another part of this thread.
How would you go in and out with a fursuit? Do you register, sneak into the lounge, slip into the suit, and walk out? Go around back? Find an empty hall or come in incredibly early and hope to god no one catches you headless?

Fur Fun at Boing Boing!

Say, has anyone seen this yet? Dance

http://www.boingboing.net/features/furry.html

It's a pretty positive article; though, as you might imagine, some of the commenters are less than kind. I guess that's why us furries need pretty think skins...covered with fur, of course! Eye-wink

O_O eep!

Okay, I've noticed there seems to be a new layout...and I'm not terribly fond of it. It took me five minutes to find the new thread button, and i accidentally marked all as read in the process. I've also noticed there are no borders between individual posts, which i find moderately confusing and fairly displeasing.

in short... is it possible to switch back? Sad Puzzled
