Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
THE ASK ADMIN
THE ASK ADMIN THREAD!!!!!!
Ok, so there are tons of threads made to ask Admin a particular question. I thought: why doesn't someone just make ONE thread for ALL the questions? So, here it is!
My first question: Can't the Admins make some sort of search thing inside this website so that we can look for a certain thread? Because I was going to revive several, and they got stuck somewhere between the page they were on and the first page. I don't really feel like looking through all the pages again...
=^..^=
Our Webmaster knows that a Search function has been requested, but we are a small staff with many other things to do to publish all our magazines and maintain all our Web sites. It's unlikely we'll get to a Search engine anytime soon, if ever. I think a few years ago a Chatterboxer figured out how to search via Google with Cricket Chatterbox plus a specific theme in the search field. I don't know if that would still work now because there are many more threads on Chatterbox, and many with similar themes, that there were two years ago. I'm sorry we can't be more encouraging about this.

I can answer this one for you! You have to go to a pic-hosting site and put it up there. Then you cut and paste. I've never actually done it before, so this may not be exactly what you do, but that's what other people have said. :)

I haven't gotten my February issue yet. Should I have?
You know, mine hasn't come yet either, though we're already getting February Cricket League story entries from other readers who have received theirs. We can't guarantee the service of the US Postal System. We don't actually consider an issue "late" until the 16th of the month. Hope yours (and mine) comes soon!

Ok, thanks Admin!

Admin, I have not gotten my March issue yet. Unless all the timekeeping devices I've recently seen have all been incorrect by some crazy coincedence, March 16th was 4 days ago. Should I email customer service at this point?
Yes, email customerservice@caruspub.com
Or phone 1 800 821 0115
Be sure to include the full name and address of the subscriber. As well as checking into your subscription, ask them to send you a March Cricket right away (in case yours was lost in the mail).

Admins,
I want to enter the February story contest, but I don't know whether to type or handwrite my story. Which would the editors like better?
We accept both, but typed may be easier for us to read, depending upon your handwriting. Whichever you prefer is fine with us, as long as it's legible. We look forward to reading your story!

I missed an issue of Cricket. The November/December one. I got the one before it and after it, but I missed that one. Any idea what I should do?
Admin: Oh no! Sorry about that. Email customerservice@caruspub.com!

For this month's contest, should we fold our pictures and put them in normal envelopes or put them in a larger one?
We would accept your Cricket League entry either way. I would generally say it's better not to fold artwork, but our Production department is usually pretty good at getting rid of fold lines. You could also send artwork rolled in a mailing tube.

Admin, I wrote a character SI, and it was there for a second, but then it disappeared. What happened to it?
It may have gone to a back page. Go back and look for it.

Admin, do you know if you can, like, have a feature that says whether or not one of you guys are online?
We've talked about it, but it wouldn't be too easy. We have no regular schedule. Sometimes I just check for a few minutes then go off to another task. When you see comments being posted, that means we're on.

I wrote a thread about dreams yesterday. How come it's not up yet? I can't find it anywhere, though I rifled a bit through the records. I'm going to go rifle some more.
I'm posting as fast as I can and I haven't deleted any comments. Keep loooking, maybe at the back if someone has replied.

I found it! I'm going to post on it saying "Top" and "Goop" and see where that gets it!
(March 9, 2013 - 2:58 pm)
<font size="30>Yes!!!! Score! It's back on the front page now!</font>
(March 9, 2013 - 3:01 pm)
So you're the one randomly saying Goop...
(March 9, 2013 - 3:21 pm)
Yes, and I'm proud of it! GOOP!
