Please read the Disboards.com Guidelines by clicking here http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm

especially the following ones:

*** NO PROFANITY:

Profanity has no place on these boards. The boards are equipped with censoring software and will not permit messages containing inappropriate language to be posted. Profanity includes attempts to bypass the built in filter that these boards contain to avoid such words. Anyone found trying to bypass the filter will have their posting privileges revoked. Further, profanity includes suggestive or inappropriate photos. This is a family site, and other sites exist that contain more lenient guidelines regarding such matters.

** This includes in trying to get around the word filter - by trying to type the word with *** or any other symbols **


*** NO FIGHTING:

These boards are moderated in an effort to keep the discussions appropriate to the topic at hand. Those who feel they can not abide by these rules are welcome to read the posts on the board, and respond via email to the person who posted the message. Messages that are argumentative or sarcastic in nature will be deleted without discussion.

** This includes calling someone stupid, idoits, trash, or making fun of their trip report writing style **


***NO PERSONAL MESSAGES:

These boards are not for exchanging personal messages with friends. For that, we suggest you use email or our Private Message system. If you have a personal comment for that person, please direct it to them via email or PM. If the use of the boards for personal messages continues, those messages will be deleted. Remember, if the message is not intended for EVERYONE, it does not belong on the boards!

** This includes secret / private code words that are just for a select few Disboard members. If not every member of the Dis boards doesn't and / or won't understand the word, inside joke, message etc., then it is not clearly intended for everyone and does not belong on the board (s) **


*** LINKS TO OTHER SITES:

You are free to post a link to your web site on our discussion boards, provided that a) you are not offering a commercial service or for profit venture, b) you do not repeatedly and excessively post the same link over and over again on the forums within our site, and c) that you place a link back to the DIS on your site in an area easily found. From time to time you might wish to post links to other sites that contain information not found here on the DIS. While we encourage this, we ask that you please make sure the information is not already contained on our site (remember, the boards make up only 10% of our site).

** This includes all personal blogs etc **


***MODERATORS:

For each forum on the DIS, a moderator(s) has been chosen to oversee a particular board. Moderators have the authority to delete or edit posts as needed, based on these guidelines. Moderators act with the full authority of the webmaster, and their decisions on all matters are final.

** this also includes mod bashing, poking fun at the moderators (here on this board or any other board on the Dis), questioning moderators actions, etc;, this also would be questioning a moderator (s) decision about one board on any other Dis board .**

All the moderators do this as a volunteers due to our love of Disney and we are all striving toward the goal of making this the best website about Disney.
 
What a wonderful change! Thank you! :thumbsup2
 
As moderator, I'm glad to see some changes. But please bear with us. It is like Spring Cleaning, except it is Fall, so we can call it Fall Cleaning. Time to dust, clean and organize the Trip Reports Board.

If you have any questions or concerns, please post them here or PM any of us moderator's.

Posts will start moving pretty soon. If your Trip Report is finished and is a few months- years old, give us a link and we will move it to the Done Reports Board.

Thank you, and you are our first completed TR moved to the new Thread.

Oh, I am so excited (gosh, I'm easy to please!!!). ;)

Thank you and, again, these new sub-boards are an awesome idea. :thumbsup2
 
Great idea :thumbsup2

Love reading pre-TR's, Completed TR's..and this looks like it will be easier to find everything:)

:sunny:
 
Friendly bump, since it has been awhile.
 
Missing Report?

I had report going (I guess I should have been in the "uncompleted" catergory). I've searched (it says I have no posts), and looked through all the pages & it's gone.

Can you help find it? It was "The Enablers Report..."

Thanks!
 
Can I make a suggestion?
As someone who worked really hard on my Trip Report last year and I am glad to see it still alive on the boards, why is the posting option taken away from those old reports. I have people email and PM me now after reading the report, but it would be great to see it continue to live on by others being allowed to post it.
Quite honestly it makes me want to finish a report slower so it doesn't go to the Trip Report "grave yard"
Any way this could change?
Lesley
 
Here's my completed report. I could not find it for the longest time. I still don't know how I found it. Can it be moved to the completed reports board?

Thanks

Edited: Never mind moving it. I'm afraid that the link in my signature wouldn't find the new location.
 
I completely agree with you Lesley!

Mine got moved, and now I'm getting tons of PMs because people can't post on my thread.

Great suggestion!

Moderators, do we know why posting on completed threads isn't an option?

I feel that the new format is better because it allows new trip reports to be be viewed on page one where members will get more replies. When a thread receives too much attention the other posters get lost in the shuffle. Old trip reports are nice to read but should be closed at some point.

Yes, as some point your Trip Report should be closed. Sometimes the responses get so far off topic. This was the main reason we decided to ask for a Completed Board.

We have a pre-trip board now and we feel this board allows off topic conversations, so when you return, you can let us know all about your Walt Disney World vacat.
 
i thought my trip report was complete, but i wanted to post my photopass pics to it, and i had a few more posts i would need to add until that's complete. is there any way to get it moved back to the current trip reports board until i'm really done? i put up "COMPLETE" too soon :confused3
 
What are these reports for?

Trip reports are just that. A report of Disney vacations. They can be quite lengthy and detailed. I have enjoyed reading a few of them. I wish there was a place for short & sweet ones though. I'm usually interested in crowd reports and weather for specific time periods. It's hard to read an entire report to get the gist of the crowds, etc.
