Having technical issues on Reddit? Ask here.

Honestly, I wouldn't dream of losing it; we'll figure out a solution eventually.🙂

Terry Barnes7 said:Just so we’re all on the same page, does this mean I’m allowed to include my ignore list in my signature?

After checking with the mods, here is the deal: you can certainly list the users you have ignored, but you cannot include any provocative commentary alongside them.
For example, saying "My ignore list: [User A] and [User B]" is perfectly fine.
However, something like "The idiots on my ignore list: [User A] and [User B]" is strictly prohibited.

I hope that clears things up. 😁

Casey Bennett said:After looking into this—essentially running some consultations—here is the breakdown: you are perfectly free to maintain a list of users you have muted, provided you don't wrap it in a layer of unnecessary provocation.
For instance, saying "Here is my ignore list: User A and User B..." is completely acceptable.
However, framing it as "The idiots on my ignore list: User A and User B" is where we draw the line; that simply isn't okay.

I trust that clarifies things. 😁

Finally, some good news. 🙂

How does one fix a forum clock? Mine keeps running fast...

Just go into your settings and hit "Date & Time Options"

The World subforum (the topic list) has been down for a few hours now, and I keep running into this error message:

Warning: mysqli_query(): (HY000/3024): Query execution was interrupted, maximum statement execution time exceeded in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 1173
Database Error Database error

It’s a bit like a road closure where the side streets are fine; all the other subforums seem to be working perfectly, and I can even access the individual threads within the "World" section directly, but trying to load the main subforum itself is just a non-starter.

It looks like things are finally up and running now. We dealt with some much more intense outages across the entire Reddit last night, though.

And according to the global announcement that stays active through tomorrow, we should probably brace ourselves for more technical hiccups 😬

Casey Bennett said:From what I can tell, it's working for now. Things were way more broken across the whole Forum last night.

And based on the site-wide announcement that's sticking around through tomorrow, we should probably expect more glitches coming our way. 😬

Give me a break. If they're so worried about it, why don't they just wipe those nearly 4 million posts sitting in the archives?

Here’s the archive if anyone cares: http://www.reddit.com/r/archive_example

Also, fix that calendar. It's still stuck in 2020.

Give it a rest; Andrlon is just making things unnecessarily difficult. If they start deleting everything and trying to fix the calendar from scratch, we won't see any real recovery until summer. 😬

Casey Bennett said:Give me a break, Andrlon is making way too much noise. If he starts deleting everything and trying to fix the calendar, we won't be back on our feet until summer. 😬

Lmao, I can't even. 😂

Someone suggested a long time ago that if you want to hang out on this Reddit, you should actually pay up. $33 It’s for the Forum—but there's a catch. They don't hand out any bans or strikes for stuff like this, so I decided to pass. 🙂

Hey boss, did you get it done? Respect. 👍

The Forum has never been this fast. 🙏

Not really a technical question, just curious...
Is there any way through the Reddit app or just using a browser to hide threads I’m done with? Like, can I subscribe to stuff but also hide certain topics so they don't pop up in my recent posts or while I'm scrolling through the Forum?
Kind of like how on Facebook you just hit the little arrow to hide a post from someone or something...

As far as I know, that’s just not an option. I actually reached out to a few other moderators to double-check, but since nobody bothered to get back to me, I’m assuming it's a no. So, sorry about that.

Alright, thanks for the reply.

Hey 🙂

I’m not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask, but I figured I’d try here.

I've been trying to shrink my signature and tweak the color, but the system keeps blocking me—it basically tells me I don't have permission to apply those specific codes for size or color.

Ideally, I want to trim it down to just two lines so it doesn't take up half the screen and looks a bit cleaner. I also really wanted to switch the text to violet. So, yeah, does anyone know if there's actually a way to do this? 🤷

Your signature was taking up an entire line on its own, so I went ahead and shrunk the font down to size 1 and changed the color. Hopefully, you don't mind.

Thanks, Casey Bennett, this is awesome! 🙂

Is anyone else dealing with this insanely slow Forum, or is it just my connection constantly spinning its wheels?
