Question though - how are forum posts "removed" Its by being moved or so to some wasteland of dead/redacted posts, is it? Or somehow else?

Or somehow else? We have three choices. We can hard delete it, but we only ever do that with spam posts or buggy things which can't be saved, such as huge error log files which are causing forum glitches. We don't like to do that, though, because it doesn't leave a record of what has happened. Most often we "hide" posts, which leaves them where they are and visible to moderators, but normal forum members do not see them. For the really nasty stuff, we have a subforum, not accessible by normal forum members, where we can move things for storage and possible later reference.

Geonovast Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Is it possible to have the notification noise, and the "Xuser has replied" noise be different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last Emiko Station chapter was pretty huge, aprox. 9,500 words, and somewhere around 300 screenshots total. Now that one was a bit of an exception, and I don't plan on making all of them that big... But it got me thinking. Just how big is too big for one post, as far as number of screenshots and all that? Don't know about screenshots, but at 25,000 words the forums' editor still works decently if you ignore the occasional lags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chel Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi. Did anyone else get the site maintenance message on the forums earlier today? If so, has anything even changed on the forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I did, and it was definitely down for awhile. I'm sure it was all backend stuff. I didn't expect to see any changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front page of the store now has an extra link at the bottom called 'New Privacy Policy' that wasn't there before, warning about the new terms coming March 6th. I haven't noticed any other changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is new. Not sure if I like it or not. So many other things could have used some TLC... but a COMMA?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underneath your profile settings: and when you click this neat little button, you will get this: And as you can see, there's also a history of where the log-in has happened based on the IP location of the device. Kinda handy. I do not see it showing up within the mobile device version of the forum yet but I do know the software supports it. I am on another forum (with the same user name) which utilizes this forum software. Edited March 2, 2018 by adsii1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 @adsii1970 Oh right, now I know what you mean. That feature was there before, but I have no idea if it was limited to moderators because I only discovered it a relatively short time ago. My location in that list is all over the place and not at all accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the last time I was in Oklahoma, Minnesota, or Chicago. I don't think I've ever been to Georgia. I know I have never been to Colorado or Massachusetts. I have definitely never been to Amsterdam, North Holland. I've also apparently been to a place called 47,8. I don't think that I like that it keeps track of my locations. I mean, what's the point when it's so horrifically inaccurate because of the way ISPs handle IP pool assignments anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
