I am asking you to put a new section into our forum:

MobileRead Forums > Miscellaneous > Tests

I tried to find here some documentation concerning the work of the forum’s engine but it seems unavailable. I am refraining myself from testing the work of the engine using any existing section because I do not want to litter it. I always can ask the question to some moderator but I think it is annoying to reply the similar questions asked by different users continuously.

So “Tests” forum’s section is a solution. The threads posted in such a section could be deleted automatically after 48 hours. It seems that this is enough for someone to perform his or her tests in a particular thread.

You could just create your own thread in the Lounge and test whatever you want to test or just add to another thread of a similar vein.

It seems to me that our “Lounge” is littered enough without such trash threads. According to the dictionary: “In a house, a lounge is a room where people sit and relax”. It is not nice to sit and relax in the garbage can or on the rubbish tip.

“Testing123 - test posting abilities” should be enough for testing most engine’s features though not all of them. Thank you for that tip!

I tried to give 1000 points of karma to Wetdogeared and I saw this:

You must give (or take) at least two reputation points.

The same message appears when I try to give him 1001, 999, 2, 2000, or 5000 points (though this last value is out of my current range).

What is wrong? Work in progress made by Alex?

In a hurry I reversed the comment and the reputation points. I am sorry for the mess.

I would like to understand what you hope to achieve by this "testing". To my eyes, it is identical to SPAMMING these forums.

And so you litter the Lounge with your testing spams .... Your point being?

I followed Wetdogeared’s hint from the #2 post above. Either I was misinformed or I misinterpreted that tip. According to my current knowledge MobileRead do not tolerate testing posts.

I can explain my point in each case. In fact I already explained it to some people. To post that here seems to me purposeless.
