Right, because the system is just as ancient as old man Marshall, so obviously it's broken.

🤣

I know this happens to others, though I haven't personally dealt with it.

You really need to check the "remember me" box to stop this from happening. It’s been mentioned on this forum countless times already.

I can't seem to send a private message—the user's name has turned gray, and it says they're "in quarantine" (it's showing up like that for a few other people with grayed-out names too).
What does that actually mean?
I know accounts aren't just deleted on here.

What’s the deal with that?

They've been banned.
And you can't message anyone who's been banned.

Aha, thanks!

Every time I try to use the "Search this thread" tool—you know, type in a keyword and hit enter—the whole site just kicks me out and logs me off.
?

addendum:
It’s not just the search, either. Every single time I try to post a new reply to a thread, the forum boots me right back to the login screen.

That’s exactly what happens when you don't bother checking the "remember me" box.

Good morning... 🙂
Koristim MBP (Safari) i, nakon ažuriranja, više ne mogu vidjeti nijedan YT video na forumu, i to samo na forumu. Vidim samo neki sivi kvadrat na mjestu gdje bi trebao biti video. 🤔 As far as I can tell, there are no extensions active on my end, and I have already gone through the trouble of clearing my cookies... If anyone could offer some guidance on this, I would be most grateful...

1. Which site should I use to resize an image so I can actually upload it as a forum avatar?

2. Is there a way to pull up every single post I've ever made on this board? I have a habit of forgetting questions I’ve already asked. Also, is there an option to get notifications when someone replies to my threads?

🤣 It looks like you forgot even that—this account only has three posts total...

(If that was a joke, it was a decent one 👍)

Regarding resizing an image for an avatar, try this link or some similar site (just search 'online photo resizer' on Google).
@Modesty B can tell you what the maximum allowed (likely the actual limit) dimensions are in 'px x px' and 'KB'.

(I’d ask her myself, but I usually just get ignored here, and if I message her saying 'Hi, how are you?', I get nothing back.)

I'm using a MacBook Pro (Safari), and ever since the update, I can't get any YouTube videos to play on this forum. It's only happening here. Instead of a video, I just see a gray square where it should be. 🤔 As far as I can tell, I don't have any extensions enabled, and I've already cleared my cookies. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I ran into that exact same issue, so I just switched back to Chrome.

@Modesty B can clarify the maximum allowed (actually possible) dimensions for avatars in both 'px x px' and 'KB'.

I believe the forum automatically scales avatar images. Only GIFs need specific dimensions to ensure they don't end up static.

That might be true, but then you end up with distorted images(squashed or stretched) whenever the aspect ratio doesn't match the platform's maximum allowed dimensions.

It’s smarter to know the maximum avatar size, say 'a x b', and resize the image to one of those (either 'a' or 'b') dimensions.

Most online resizing tools have a 'keep aspect ratio' setting. Just (set) one dimension—whichever you want to match or stay under compared to the maximum 'a or b' limit on Reddit...

coppersailor28 said:... ..., then show me the picture. Pick just one. Either A or B. Dimension..

Most resizing software includes a specific setting for that. 'Maintain the aspect ratio.Just type it in. That's all you need to do. Determine. Just one dimension....

😵

Late-night comments should be approved before they go live.

Basically, the image is the best part. To prune. Trim. Cut. Prune. I don't have enough context to rewrite this. Please provide the full text you want me to work on.Aspect ratio matters. Most people ignore it until their footage looks like a stretched mess on a widescreen monitor. If you aren't thinking about composition before you hit record, you're already behind.Avatar.Then just shrink that cropped frame from the photo. (scene).

I just crop the image into a square, and then the forum handles the resizing automatically. 🤷

By the way, you can view the YouTube video if you use Opera. 🙂

😁 I’m actually serious here. I have an old account with a massive post count, but now it seems like you can only view a single page of history. I was trying to look up something I asked years ago to check how others responded and refresh my memory on what I was looking for, if you catch my drift.

Hi everyone, I'm not entirely sure if this is the right spot to ask, but is it true that this forum is shutting down in just a week?
It feels strange that there hasn't been an official announcement posted somewhere for all the members to see. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this rumor?

If it really is happening, don't you think it would be only fair to announce it properly so people aren't caught completely off guard?

The forum owner apparently lives for surprises 😉

The discussion is happening over on the US message boards here

Hey Casey Bennett,

I’ve honestly tried everything in my power to get myself banned from here, but I just can't seem to make it happen.
Since you were such a lifesaver when you helped me switch up my username, I was hoping you might be a total legend and just hit me with the Ban too.

(Seriously though, I really need this! If I’m actually going to crush my finals and graduate on time, I can't be wasting all my energy scrolling through this forum.)

Best,

Gregory Thomas
