Besides, Imgur goes down like, twice a day. Please. Trying to load an image from Google is fine. uploading it to imgur, then to the forums is not.

I STILL have not been able to figure out how to post a SINGLE pic hosted on imgur. If I have only ONE pic I want to share, I have to grab another KSP-unrelated pic, just to add to it, so I can make an imgur "album", and post THAT... What a PIA

Just copy the image URL and hit enter.

single image loaded :D

Yes, and I can never get that to work... And I dont want to have to have to create a bunch of accounts on several websites to host different stuff...

And another thing- I STILL find it a PIA to edit/delete quotes... I also find it hard to make a post with a tablet touchscreen, or a laptop touchpad... Quite often the window for my post alone, is bigger than the available screenspace, and trying to scroll thru the post, I end up scrolling the whole page, or scrolling the page, i end up just scrolling thru the post, or neither moves at all.

I dont care what anyone says, I find this forum software a PIA to use, and its the worst I've ever seen, and I've been on MANY forums over 20 years.

Sorry I misposted earlier, I crossed your question with what I thought was a question in your quote. At any rate, look at my corrected post and you'll see getting an imgur picture to load is as simple as posting the image's url into the editor and hitting enter. :)

Not really (or even slightly, really :wink:) a question but I'd like to say a big thank you for the recent update that has hugely improved the loading speed of the "Threads I posted in" activity stream.  This was getting really annoying, taking several seconds to load the page, but is now almost instant...

is it possible to delete a thread? I asked a question and just noticed the same question in the forum somewhere else.

Sometimes. If there are no responses we'll delete it at OP request, if there have been response we generally don't (but will lock). Not fair to other posters to have their posts deleted.

Not sure if this would work in Gameplay Questions as well as it would in the rest of the Forum, but I have often seen the moderators merge two similar threads into one. You could possibly ask that your thread be merged into the older one, rather than deleted.

(( http :// forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/111158-ask-the-mods-questions-about-the-forums/& page=64 xDr well roflmao waht else ? more kofeyh & turn a page xDr ))

(( "... we highly recomand that ..." ??? still not inverted now ??? may be something like "we encourage the use of 64-bit when available and possible @ the discretion of mods authors" or something like that seem more appropriate now ; may be ; while keeping the non obligatory aspect ))

@Padishar That's odd, it shows up when I get the list of threads you've started. Do the other threads you've started show correctly in the activity stream?

Well, it's hard to say for sure.  Most of them appear to be there, at least the ones that I remember starting... :wink:

Using that method of finding it works fine for me to, it is just the "Activity/My Activity Streams/Threads I Started" from the top bar that goes wrong...

Edit: Just counted and your link shows 20 threads and the other way shows 19 so it does look like only that one...

We used to have a thread called "Count to 50 before a moderator posts", people would count up to 50, and the score would reset to zero whenever a moderator posted. It got a little crazy with coordinated mass-posting and so on. That was great, we moderators even created a separate game where we'd get points for resetting the count, and the closer to 50 it got the more points the person who stopped it got.

As you can imagine, it got a little out of control and was eventually shut down.

I would love to have that back!
