OT: New Board -- How Do I...?

[Hennessy]

One thing about these boards that you never saw on the old ones is spam. I've come across a few bot threads before the mods see them. So far not a huge deal, but hopefully it never becomes an issue.

Been a part of this board since Jesus was a carpenters' son. I've been using Firefox and ABP the entire time. I really don't understand what y'all are complaining about. Never seen an ad, and I don't plan on doing so either.

Do we still have our old enmojis like

yay!

Those who have paying memberships: is the board slow/buggy for you too?

Nope, never. *Knocks on wood*

Spoiler

Is the Spoiler feature working? tags entered manually...

The "Insert - Spoiler" feature still doesn't seem to work, though.

@Bubba Thudd Seems to function fine in Chrome -- click to reveal spoiler with JavaScript enabled or hover over the dark redacted block to reveal it with JavaScript disabled.

When tweets get posted sometimes they're cut off and you have to click on it and go to the twitter site to see it.

Is there an option where you can just view the entire tweet and avoid leaving the site to see it?

[Woodhouse]

@Avalanche That's typically an ad-blocker conflict. Try viewing the page with that disabled or in an incognito/private tab to see if tweets displays normally there.

Probably @Foppberg fault

That was it. Thank you, kind sir.

Not thus far

Since it appears other people are having the same issue, anyone have a fix for the slow / buggy stuff?

Only site I go to that has any issue really, and there was no problems prior to the switch.

Now between getting signed out, slow loading, loading errors and straight up unresponsive tabs, it's become a pain to actually navigate the site recently.

I submitted a support ticket yesterday. I perused around and apparently, you can disable Javascript for this site and it'll make it run a lot smoother. I tested and it does, but it removes Rich BB text editor, doesn't load any gifs/tweets, etc.

I just disabled it to try and the forum is purring like a kitten now. Just goes to show how badly the auto-playing ads and all the other junk is interfering with the forum. Right after the migration I had none of these issues.

How do you clear quotes?

How do you delete an account?

has anyone gotten the bugginess out of the system using chrome?
chrome doesn't use java (at least I don't think), so I have no idea how to make it run faster
I literally type my posts in notepad and then paste them on to this page. It's the only way I've figured out how to halfway make this thing run.
if I can't figure out how to run this thing on chrome I think I'm unfortunately a goner. too much hassle.

Why would you want to do such a thing? One of us! one of us! one of us!

Chrome has JavaScript.

Just google how to disable it for this site, super easy. Or there's the paid sponsor option where it seems to be less buggy.

It is, but I find it's still frustrating that the site is optimized so poorly that disabling Java is needed to make it run at a functional speed.

anyone know how to block a thread?

 

[Foppberg]

Can't.
