Some notes

There is no account deletion function; if you have issues with a member, please do not address it here; please deal with the matter privately. As much as I respect copyright issues, I do not currently have the tools or time to deal with all complaints about members.

On another note, there is no daylight savings "automatic correcter" because daylight savings is not observed by everybody in the world. You must change your settings from your profiles page.

All setting your timezone does is change the entry times so they are relative to your location; no actual timestamp changing is done ... all timestamps are being stored in GMT format.

If you\'ve recently enabled this option, it may take days or even weeks for search engines to notice it.

If you host something here on your space which is breaching someone elses copyright somewhere then you too are breaking copyright law. Not just the member who posted it here. So when someone finally gets pissed off enough at one of your members stealing their material and decides to take action you could very easily get caught in the crossfire. Someone has to be selling you bandwidth for this site, if not server space, and sharing stolen material is most likely against their TOS, just as a starter. You could also face legal repercussions.

This is why most member type sites like this don\'t allow copyright theft on their site and have this as part of their TOS. It\'s to protect themselves. I can understand why you don\'t want to get involved, it\'s a big hassle. But by letting people put illegal material on your site (which stolen layouts and suchlike are) you are already involved. It may never become an issue, but you really should put some thought into what you will do if it does.

Yes, actually it is a part of the TOS that you cannot hold copyright material, and the offender has since had their account suspended.

However, I\'m not really wanting to open the door for all these random website owners to start threatening me with legal action because a teenage girl \"stole\" a layout.

There\'s a world of a difference between real copyright infringement and \"layout ripping.\"

I\'m just hoping people will wake up and try to resolve these layout issues privately instead of waving the legal baton around.

It\'s not a layout I\'m pissed off about Roy! I am pissed off about my words, my written stuff, my information about me, stealing that is wrong! That is me, Star is me not Minzywee took my words & has it up there to make people think it\'s her. Stop it now, you should be held responsible since you don\'t have it in the TOS. The ball is in your court now. I have tried to contact her, I even left my e-mail address there so why is this my problem???!!!??? It\'s yours! Post some decent TOS or don\'t be in this game! Have some decent help or don\'t run a site! What is the point if you can\'t help people out. What\'s the point in the site being here then? Seems all useless to me!

Why is it so hard for you to be proffessional & nice. I followed all the steps you told me to do & got nothing back from her. Now why do you have to be rude & come to my site & have someone post this to my blog:

IP Address: 24.189.105.134
Name: Jess
Email Address: jess@hotmail.com (not a real address either)

Comments:
No, it just shows you are not very intelligent.

*ignorant

Now you are coing to my site to harasse me! What is up with that? I don\'t come over to your site <a href="http://www.roykim.net">www.roykim.net</a> to harass you do I??? I think is is all bullshit. Tell your friends to stop being children & to grow up. All other good sites actually have admin support & do something about it & respond in a mature manner!

Little snipit from your site:
Having pointed out that I\'m young. Thank goodness I became legal this year; the whole \"Roy can\'t get laid \'cause he\'s illegal\" joke was getting old). I can\'t wait until the \"Roy can\'t drive\" joke dies, too.

Yeah I see maybe if you were a little more mature & experianced you would be able to handle this matter better. Grow up! And for your information I am not a little webdesigner, I have been doing this since you were in dipers, so stop acting like you\'re the best thing since sliced bread & do something about the illeagal trash that is going on under your IGNORANT little nose.

Is there anyway for a non-tabulas user to post a comment on my blog?

Salutations! May I ask if I can create a link from one of my entries to the other? I want to post an entry that in its content, there is a hyperlink to one of my previous hidden entries. Is that possible? Thanks. God Bless!

hello there. :) I could add entries & stuff in my control panel but my actual page won\'t show up. It\'s all a blank. Is it just me? I looked through my friends\' tabs & theirs are okay. Please help me on this matter. Thanks in advance! :)

You\'ve screwed up your templating options. Reset with a default template.

More weirdness - the links along the top of my template (home, gallery, friends, etc) are invisible. I can click in the space where they\'re supposed to be, and they work... but I can\'t see them.

Maybe I\'m crazy, but... the tabs in control panel that let you switch between features seem to have vanished. The only control panel feature I can access is the entries page - I can\'t access templates or profiles etc.
