Vanamonde Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 1 hour ago, Mr. Kerbin said: I’m back for the third time in a row , This time, to ask how, when, and why does it seem @Deddly got an upgrade. That said, where is “Forum Administrator” on the moderator scale? Is it like a new CM? Also, when is the “Your Moderators” thread going to get updated for this? We moderators are doing some adjustments, since we no longer have community managers to do it for us. Deddly likes the title, I guess.

Previously, some of us had the "Moderator Admin" role, which was more restricted. Snark and Vanamonde also have the same access as I, but we set Vanamonde's to show differently so that it's still clear who is the lead moderator.

Vanamonde Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 And I also didn't want the administrator title so people wouldn't ask me to fix stuff, since I'm not good at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow71 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Is any effort going to be made to remove the KSP2 banner from the forums? Or maybe just switch back to the original one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've shifted things around but adding or removing content is a bigger issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be open soon(ish). Feel free to post anything else you’d like in the meantime.

Poppa Wheelie Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to build and edit Signatures for this forum? If not, could someone provide one? Perhaps you could ask someone with a fairly sophisticated Signature to built the tutorial. Should I start a thread somewhere else to ask someone to develop and post this tutorial? If so, where should I post it? With its own thread, others could chime in with their own questions, and with methods used to achieve other results. I've figured out how to do some of this stuff, but I've seen some signatures doing some things I wouldn't know how to do. Here are some of the capabilities I would like to see in this tutorial: Add an image to the Signature Add more than one image, left to right, to appear in the order desired Insert an image between others Rearrange the order of images Put text to appear underneath (or above) only one specific image Include a hyperlink with a specific image Include a hyperlink with some of the included text Insert html or other coding to format exactly how I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Signatures are under your profile tab, under settings. It’s then an option of that drop down menu. It uses the same WYSIWIG editor that the rest of the forum uses. So the limits of the editor are the limits of the signature. If you would really want to, go ahead and create the tutorial yourself if you’d like. We can post it here in the network section. And don’t worry, the best way to get the correct answer on the internet is to post the wrong one, so feel free to post away. If there’s a better way, or you did it plain wrong, somebody will be along to correct you, and then you can just edit the OP to make it look like you had it right all along!

Poppa Wheelie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 @adsii1970, in the following post, you talked about creating a single status update page. I followed your steps yesterday, and somehow I created ONE status update page. Is it possible to create a second and a third one? I can't figure out how to create any more status update pages than the one that I now have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a good thing, keeps the bandwidth down. I saw the post and it’s very nice. I’d hate to merge it into the “How to use the forums” thread that’s stickied at the top of the sub, but I’d also hate for it to slide into obscurity. Why don’t you add a link to stuck thread so we don’t lose it? Edited August 30 by Gargamel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Kerbin Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Uh, why is there a mission report that I cannot view? In notifications it says FTLparachute posted a topic KSP1 Mission Reports: Attempting Titanus (New Horizons, 1.12.5) I press on it, it says “Sorry, we could not find that topic.” I press on it in the main forums page (with all the little things like KSP1 Spacecraft Exchange) and it says “Oops! You do not have permission to view that topic.” I go into the dedicated mission report page, it doesn’t exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 That’s because a new member posted it and it requires approval, just your posts did as a new member. It takes a bit of time for the moderators to review and approve the posts. Be patient, it’s probably fine now. The notifications and activity streams showing them are forum bugs.

Just a little frustrated as this place is a haven of friendly caring folk and given my situation the 502’s are cutting me off from caring and supportive friends. Hopefully it corrects itself 191510122024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Im guessing what ever took us down for like 2 weeks wasnt bad gateway related as ive had at least 1 confirmed 502 bad gateway hit since the forum came back up… 211910282024 ive now been hit by 5 confirmed 502 bad gateways. Thankfully none seem to last long but still disconcerting. 020810292024 Edited October 29 by AlamoVampire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 No, the outage seems to have been another kind of issue. The 50x things fix themselves in a bit of time whereas the big thing required IT intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
