Hello, everyone! On behalf of the team running this site, let me welcome you to LMBEternal! Below are some answers to questions you may have. Please feel free to use this thread to ask any more questions you may have!
What is LMBEternal? LMBEternal is a message board intended to archive and replace the old LEGO® Message Boards. This means these boards will be fully moderated and child-friendly, as well as following a very similar format to the LEGO® Message Boards. Please note that while we have set these boards up very similarly to the official LMBs, this is not an official LEGO® site.
Who is running this? LMBEternal is run by a team of dedicated users from the old LMBs who want to see the community continue. We recognize the importance of the LMBs to many people as one of the only child-friendly communities on the internet, and certainly it is a special community. As such, we intend to uphold very high standards of moderation.
How is moderation handled? These boards are moderated by the LMBEternal team. We are a small group of dedicated users who we know will keep these boards safe and clean. We will only add staff when it's necessary, and we will only add users we know we can trust to uphold the high standards of moderation we expect of our team. If any user believes a moderator is not performing their job properly, the user should file a report with an administrator via a private message (PM). Please note that PMs are disabled between users and can only be sent to staff members.
Why do I see that someone has posted a comment somewhere, but the comment doesn't exist? This is related to how moderation works here. Posts are sent to a quarantine before they are approved, but users can still sometimes see that a post has been made. This issue cannot be fixed currently.
How can I tell whether my post has been moderated? We only currently know of one way to tell: a post that's still in moderation will not have a "quote" option above it.
I got a message randomly saying "Sorry, time's up!" Why does this happen? This happens if you roll your mouse over the "edit" button of a post you are longer able to edit. Edits are disabled after 5 minutes so that users have a chance to fix something before a post hits moderation, but can't change things after a post has cleared moderation.

I haz a question. On FF, it says that Tuvok quoted me 1 hour ago, but nothing is there. Does that have to do with moderation or just a technical oddity?

BTW: Nice Emojis We are not currently actively working on creating a German message boards section; however, I will bring it up to the team, and we will see what we can do! For profile pictures, the current rule will stand as common sense. I will update the rules to reflect this. I would say that if you wouldn't be allowed to have a picture on a shirt in an elementary school, you shouldn't use it for your profile picture. BTW: Thank you

So I was wondering how to get a signature. I've seen some other people with such but I haven't seen anything on my profile.

I have a question: Are the rules of stuff we mention the same as the LMBs? Or can we do stuff like share accounts on other sites, and post links to other sites? Also, can we mention T and M video games and R movies? I can assume there's no swearing, although I wouldn't do that anyways:P.

I have a question. It seems that no posts are marking as read whether I read them or mark as read. Does this mean we have to remember what page we are on? Or is this a glitch?

Just so you know, there is a LotR forum and subforum. You should probably get rid of the subforum;).
