No. A forum user has a quote of mine in their signature and I don't get any notifications about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 There's your answer, @cubinator. 'At'ing someone in a PM does not ping that person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *really* need to get the second version up so people can really start using it. It is still very buggy, and I have to basically hand-pick each piece that is magically stuck, by trying to turn all six faces, finding out in the middle of that that there is _another_ quantum-entangled piece, having to go back to the VAB and fix it, then do it all over again. I think I'll work on that right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightside Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is an Imgur account required to post pictures? I seem to remember just copy/pasting in the past, but its been a while. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I use dropbox for quick image hosting and only use imgur when I want an album with captions and all that. Basically, any image host that will give you an URL that ends in .jpg or .png will work with forum image embedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then right click on the image, select "Copy Image", then press ctrl+v wherever you want to stick it. For albums you copy the little string of characters at the end of the URL, press the Imgur icon in the forum editor, and paste them there.

Dman979 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 What happens when a moderator hasn't been online for a significant amount of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 One of the boss guys sends him/her a PM asking if she/he is alright, whether she/he still wants to be a moderator. Often, real life has intervened and the missing mod regretfully say no, he/she no longer has the free time necessary. Now and then, though, somebody will take a leave to attend school or somesuch, and we hold the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Can't speak for each member of the team, since we have varying schedules. I spend 1-3 hours per day, depending on how busy we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I browse when I have the time to, usually checking in more than once a day. We're supposed to be vigilant on the forums but it's not like there's any definite, concrete time allotments we have to be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not really any more time commitment than the average user, then, except you occasionally do moderator-y things instead of just regular user things.

Pretty much. We all keep our own hours with some of us around more than others. I would say it hasn't changed much for me since prior to coming on board. Maybe spend a bit more time to tidy a few things up when I otherwise would have meandered off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is it possible for you guys to clear the saved text in an unposted message? Or is there a way for me to do it myself? I accidentally (or perhaps simply absent-mindedly) quoted someone who posted that one absurdly long protein name, and ever since that Chrome lags horrendously whenever I go to that thread (Don't taunt the Magic Boulder). It only happens on mobile, because that's where I did the quote. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
