I have a small issue that I need help with. I changed some setting in the UserCP, don't remember which one, and now some posts that are older than 2 days have a date like this:

Does anyone know which setting I have to change to make it right again?

Ok, thanks, it's fixed now.

Would it not be sensible to make the NBC "Gear" sub-forum into an "Other Top Gear" forum. That way the Australian version can be stuck in there as well.

Viper007Bond · January 28th, 2008, 09:16 PM

They're completely different shows though. The only thing Gear has in common with Top Gear is that it's using it for inspiration.

True, but will the regular Top Gear forum be enough for the Aussie version of TG? I think it requires its own sub-forum. Certainly once it airs, it'll need one...

Is there away to show if a post has been reported? This might be a handy feature so a heap of people don't keep reporting the same post...especially if it's a repost?

Adunaphel · February 4th, 2008, 10:12 AM

I'd rather have 10 people reporting a post than none.

Not that I'm aware of, plus I'd rather there wasn't so we can avoid complaints about false reports and even complaints about legitimate reports.

As Adunaphel said, report it and don't be afraid of double-reports. vB nicely sticks them all into one thread per post in the moderators-only forum.

Can we have a spoiler box button on the post thing?

Thanks

Just as soon as someone makes me a button for it.

I'm really bad at Photoshop, but I gave it a try nonetheless

(yes those are supposed to be sunglasses)

I thought a key might do the trick, but I can't make it as pretty as the other buttons.

Someone?

Labcoatguy · April 18th, 2008, 01:55 AM

Can we have a Hall of Shame for those people with sudden bans but no nasty reputation? I don't mean for people like nannocrob or Elm187, but say, John Rambo, who was banned after 3 (apparently innocuous) posts. I'm guessing it was someone banned coming back under a new name.

Wat. And he still goes for the "I has a Dodge Ram" thing. We need a facepalm smiley in his honor.

aaurora · April 25th, 2008, 08:07 AM

I've only just discovered the reputation thing (I'm not normally this slow) and I am amazed that I have about 80 good reputation points - shock! I'd love to see what they were all for, but I think I can only look at my most recent ones? Is this right, or is there somewhere you can go to look at all of them?

mgkdk · April 25th, 2008, 08:28 AM

^ 80 points doesn't equal 80 people giving you rep, there is some sort of system where the more rep, posts, whatever you have the more/less you give to others, so it could just be ~10 people.
