  • How do I get in contact with an administrator or moderator? - See "Contact" below.

Contact:

ACE Staff is here (also under the Browse tab, Staff link) if you need help, have additional questions or suggestions, or if you just want to reach out and say Hi.  You can also use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

 

File Storage: (Images, videos, attachments, etc.)

ACE has a limited amount of physical space for data. Because of this, we need to pose certain limitations on file uploads, especially photos.  Photos have already been transparently limited upon upload for sections like the Gallery, and general posts. The server software resizes and quality-reduces the image files being uploaded automatically.

 

Unfortunately, the board software currently does perform this upon upload of signature images.

 

As of July 5th, ACE will implement photo dimension limits for signature images.

Signature images will be limited to 600 pixel width x 300 pixel height.

 

Please use the time between now and then to verify your existing signature image(s) will comply with the new limits.  Access your signature settings via your Account Settings (top right, under your login name), Signature.

 

If you need assistance identifying the size, cropping and/or resizing a photo, please see THIS helpful thread.  If you still need assistance, private message any ACE staff member as noted below.

 

Please be respectful of the limited storage space we have, and whenever possible, utilize external image hosting services like Google Photos, Photobucket, Imgur, Instagram, Flickr, or the like when posting.

 

Storage and file limitations can and will be reevaluated as ACE grows. If storage of images, videos, etc., begins to tax the system or grow too large too quickly, additional limits may be enabled. All limitations will be communicated to the members prior to implementation in order for members to adjust and comply.  

 

PM vs. Status Update (Feed messages):

A private message (PM) to individual members is just that, a private message. No other members can see it. A PM can be performed through your Mail / Messages icon (top right next to your login name), by hovering over or clicking on a member's name or mention "@ACEname" and clicking "Message". Group messages are allowed, just add additional names in the "To:" area.

 

A status update is similar to posting a message on someone's facebook wall or feed. Everyone can see everything that is posted on someone else's feed simply by viewing their profile and typing a message into the "Leave a message on ACEname's feed.." box.  If you don't want other people to see your message, utilize the PM message option instead.
