OT: Everybody needs a little like in their life

[DucksFanDFW]

Can't view any thread with twitter posts. Awesome

Yep, unfortunately that means I guess I have to go back the nhl.ducks forums since I can at least read threads there. Hopefully they fix this so I can come back here.

Easy solution is to stop f***ing embedding stupid twitter in posts. Just post a link. No one needs that shit cluttering up the threads anyway.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I'd rather see the tweet than have to chase it down. But FYI, just posting the link now automatically embeds it. But if you click on the reply link you should be able to see the actual link and chase it down.

Maybe we ought to ban tweets from certain threads so that people can follow them, like GDTs? Until this shit gets sorted?

I could be wrong but I think they're complaining about a firewall issue.

No its the tweets.
If you embed a tweet, the script adds infinite blank space after it so you can't see any other posts in that page. I have to wait for the thread to go to next page before i can see any posts again

Is hf even attempting to fix the twitter glitch? Because between that and the large font this site is getting unbearable.

Just signed up. Not sure what it's about exactly but it looks like just a chat app?

More or less.

You can have multiple chat rooms on a server, each dedicated to a more specific topic.
Like a forum in chat form.

It also supports voice chat, so you could say it's a fancier version of Skype and TeamSpeak.

It has become fairly popular because you have servers dedicated to a multitude of topics and communities all in one place.

Is anyone else dealing with the glitch, where all of the text in every single post (including this one, as I'm typing it) is automatically bolded?

The "quick reply" box and the multi-quote function also need to be updated. Multi-quote doesn't work for me at all, and the quick reply sometimes bugs out, especially when I try to ctrl+c, ctrl+v some stuff into it.

I just noticed everything is in bold. Haven't tried the rest.

It's not a glitch, it's some problem with the forum settings. People are complaining about it on other sections of the forum too. Someone dun goofed up.

Props to Bieksa...

After he lost his good friend Rick Rypien to suicide, Kevin Bieksa started a website called mindcheck.ca, which is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health. On Nov. 5, Bieksa got a message from a fan on Twitter that told him she was able to see the signs that suggested her daughter was planning to kill herself, because of the information made available on the website.

The author of the message goes on to say that visiting mindcheck.ca helped them identify signs and the father was then able to get his daughter help at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Has the main board become more unbearable lately? I only see the headlines of threads and can tell that the content is nothing but a gleaming pile of hot s***. Sometimes I open the thread to confirm my initial assertion. In addition to this, the trade board is mostly a competition of who can post the twitter links fastest to get their avatar on the front page.

It is irritating to witness such stupidity. Maybe it's my lack of sleep because of my 1 month old keeping me up days and nights. Or maybe the main board has found a new low.

Leaf fans.

Occasionally I read "Gibby" as "Jiggy" and my heart skips a beat.

Got 240k sportsbook cash. What's the exchange rate for real cash, and whom should I contact?

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Ok, I give up. Twitter posts everywhere and I can't read shit around here anymore. I'll check back in a couple months and see if they fix the issue.

It really is terrible. Most the GDTs at least don't have twitter. Maybe the first page but no one reads that anyways.

The twitter thing only acts up for me at work because Twitter is a blocked site.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I haven't had any twitter problems other than the first few days when a lot of thing seemed hosed up. I'm not so sure it's an HF problem.

It's blocked here, but it always has been. Before it would just be a blank post. Now it scrolls the entire screen and I can't read anything below it, I have to just go to the next page or quit reading.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

The twitter thing is more than one person. I really think we ought, by convention, to agree to not post twitter links in GDTs at the least.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

We can, but I still don't know that it is an HF problem or that HF will do anything about it.

Okay. So? You think the admins give a shit about it? I'm sure they're aware already.

Does this problem occur whenever a tweet is embedded, or whenever anything twitter related is posted? Would it be possible to work around that by using BBCode to create a link? Something like:
