For those who have served and are still active Too hard to maintain, and also not really relevant-- once someone's not a moderator anymore, they don't actually have any special status. (Plus there's nothing stopping them from putting "Former Moderator" or whatever in their editable "forum title" if they're so inclined, as @aLeXmOrA has done, for example.) The one exception we've made to that is @sal_vager, whom we've given a "Moderator Emeritus" category all of his own, just 'coz he did such an unspeakably amazingly fantastic job during his time here that we all feel he should have something to revere his hallowed memory, and to remind us to strive to live up to his legacy. But he's special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we appreciate our fellow moderators, and we're always sad to see someone go. But life happens, people move on, and over the years there's a fair amount of turnover, and we'd really not be in the position of maintaining detailed history/status information for everybody. It accumulates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in the beginning of KSP there was a little more than volunteer nerd-wrangling going on. There was hosting issues,testing and all the stuff that goes with getting the ball rolling on a game that was becoming popular and trying to keep up with user demand and the stuff that you know goes on behind the scenes. Lets just say ALOT of pm's outside of forums. But yeah thats fine was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsii1970 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Serious question time... and I've probably given the moderation staff some real concern since I mostly just poke fun at them... Does the KSP forum have an RSS feed that can be subscribed to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chel Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 How does the Who's Online area work? Like is it in alphabetic order? Rep points? Because it seems that everybody's name is just jumbled in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it seems that everybody's name is just jumbled in there. Looks to me like it is based on time. When I mouse over the names, Last Visited: seems to increase. At least generally. Some of the Last Visited times will be reset, if people do something after the list was rendered in your browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chel Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 What's with this 'Anonymous Users' section on the Who's Online? Like can you toggle on or off to become anonymous or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like can you toggle on or off to become anonymous or something? Actually yes, there is a button in the login window (AFAIK just there). This will hide your online status and 'last visited' will stay at the same date until the next 'regular' login. Also, your name will not show up in the list of online members, instead you will be counted as 'anonymous' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhaserArray Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 It has been a while since I've tweaked my user profile, and since then the forum software has been updated or changed (it looks more modern now anyways). I still have an outdated Twitter handle on my profile under contact methods, is there a way to change or remove it? I looked under account settings and edit profile, but couldn't find it.

It should be under "edit profile" on your account. The second bar is contact info, and the link should be there so you can change it there. EDIT: Unless someone removed the twitter bar for it... then I have no idea. Edited October 16, 2018 by Spaceception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceception Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 How do you sort pinned posts? Could you rearrange them whenever you feel like it? Or is it based on when it was first added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, it looks like doesn't work. Yes, the forum software has been changed, and it looks like the twitter contact you had set before it is now permanent. I wan't able to find a setting anywhere anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, that does indeed look odd. Looks like a forum software update left you high and dry, there, and I don't see any way for you to edit it now. In other words, yes, it does appear to be a legitimate technical problem. We'll look into the matter, thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Vanamonde Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 3 hours ago, Lo Var Lachland said: How do I report a user? Each forum post, profile message, and personal message should have a link on the upper right which says "report post," or something similar. It's light gray and you might need to mouse over it to see it. You will need to find something that person has submitted and hit that button, then enter a message describing the problem to us. A person's account page can not be reported, itself, but if the problem is there you can still click on a post or whatnot and tell us the issue is somewhere else.

Chel Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I've just noticed something: I can follow some users, but I can't follow others. Like the Follow Member thing is there for most users, but it's not there for others. Why is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
