Help and FAQ

First of all, have you tried the Chatterbox to the right? If you can't find the answer here, odds are someone will help troll you if you type your question into the box and click "talk." If you need assistance from one of the admins, try prefixing your question with /msg admins. (that doesn't work yet)

  1. What's with the MJ favicon?

    It was stolen from Metajournal. I did not feel like making a new one, but was annoyed by the 404s looking for /favicon.ico.

  2. You should add more features or change the site in some way.

    That's not a question, but I'm in a good mood today. Post suggestions in the news blog by replying to the most recent post. I'll read them.

  12. How do I use the Chatterbox?

    The most basic way to use the Chatterbox is by simply typing a message in and pressing "talk." This will send a message to the entire MetaJournal community. You can use bold, italic, underline, links, <del>, and smileys in your Chatterbox musings. Keep in mind that abusing the Chatterbox can result in a temporary ban from it (known as a "kick").
