Or do you guys only know each other through forum comments? How often do April fools jokes become something legit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampa Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 is there really no way to refollow someone after you unfollow them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padishar Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) On 4/21/2016 at 2:47 PM, Padishar said: Well, it's hard to say for sure. Most of them appear to be there, at least the ones that I remember starting... 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... I had an error from the forum database a little while ago and now I notice that I don't see anything from the KER thread in some of the activity lists. I posted to it about a hour ago but it doesn't show up in "threads I posted in" or in the following link: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/discover/content-posted/&stream_ownership=custom&stream_custom_members=Padishar I do still see the posts in "threads I follow". Edit: this issue has resolved itself since someone else has posted in the thread... Edited April 23, 2016 by Padishar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Not sure what is going on there, @Padishar. I'll ping one of the admins about it when they're around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Iron Crown Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Are you sure you've posted in the KER thread? More seriously, I looked at the activity stream settings and they look correct to me, I even tried making a new stream with just your content (link) and it doesn't see the KER thread either. Very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the error I got from the backend database but I didn't get a screenshot unfortunately because I instinctively hit f5 to refresh and it worked fine.

Padishar Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I already had since the problem first occurred without change. However, I have just posted this: ...and it does show on the link above.

Deddly Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) If I give someone a link to dropbox, and instead of linking directly to the homepage I give them my referal link that gives them and me extra space, would that be against rule 2.2i? 2.2 Forbidden content Messages which contain, discuss or link to the following are explicitly forbidden: (i) "Links that promote projects and/or products that are meant for the personal profit of either party, this specifically includes linking through ad.fly" I am assuming that it would be against the rules, unless the rule is talking about financial profit.

I would think poorly of someone putting such a referral link in their signature. If you are recommending it in a single post or PM it should be fine as long as you are explicit, along the lines of: "Here, you can get Dropbox here (that link is a referral that gets me extra space, if you prefer you can just get it form dropbox.com)."

Deddly Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 @Red Iron Crown Thank you for the clarification. Don't worry, I wasn't thinking of putting it in my signature. I just wanted to make sure I understood the rule correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 unfortunately, I just tried that, no help at all...still getting no option to refollow someone.
