Does the scroll still break for people? It's fine for me, anyways.

I appreciate that you've handled everything very professionally, Hezzy! Thank you! [QUOTE=myon;52862563]Does the scroll still break for people? It's fine for me, anyways.[/QUOTE] Middle-click scrolling sometimes breaks for me still, on Firefox.

Perfectly honest, Bengley's recent conduct was unacceptable and I'm glad to see him go.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52862586]I have a life. What happened with Bengley?[/QUOTE] In short: in Auto Addicts he posted a brag video of himself nearly causing an accident on a busy motorway, banned people for criticizing his driving, and started deleting tons of posts to cover up the embarrassment, got called out in FD, rambled for a bit, then unbanned butre and banned himself for a month without offering any kind of apology, then mysteriously was unbanned 9 days later, so it got dragged up again and this time he got removed.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52862586]I have a life. What happened with Bengley?[/QUOTE] After the auto thread situation he kinda dropped off the face of the earth, demodded due to inactivity. [QUOTE=Grenadiac;52862595]In short: in Auto Addicts he posted a brag video of himself nearly causing an accident on a busy motorway, banned people for criticizing his driving, and started deleting tons of posts to cover up the embarrassment, got called out in FD, rambled for a bit, then unbanned butre and banned himself for a month, then mysteriously was unbanned 9 days later, so it got dragged up again and this time he got removed.[/QUOTE] I was the one who cleared that ban on his request, mods can't unban themselves and it was ok'd at the time.

[QUOTE=usaokay;52862586]I have a life. What happened with Bengley?[/QUOTE] Too inactive, like the other removed mods (blazyd, gurant, vnl) [QUOTE=Grenadiac;52862595]In short: in Auto Addicts he posted a brag video of himself nearly causing an accident on a busy motorway, banned people for criticizing his driving, and started deleting tons of posts to cover up the embarrassment, got called out in FD, rambled for a bit, then unbanned butre and banned himself for a month, then mysteriously was unbanned 9 days later, so it got dragged up again and this time he got removed.[/QUOTE] Well that sounds like a demod right there

[QUOTE=usaokay;52862586]I have a life. What happened with Bengley?[/QUOTE] At least the reason I dislike his attitude is the Automotive Addicts incident, which he got away effectively scott-free for. He posted a video of himself driving like a dick (even by my non-driving standards) then started flaming, banning people (for a month!) , and deleting posts of anyone who disagreed with him. Then, after a lot of backlash he unbanned everyone, undeleted posts, and banned himself temporarily as "punishment". ... only to get unbanned like three days later. What justice.

Does the mod group [URL="https://facepunch.com/showgroups.php"]Page[/URL] updates automatically, or someone needs to update it manually?

[QUOTE=Nightfury;52862604]Does the mod group [URL="https://facepunch.com/showgroups.php"]Page[/URL] updates automatically, or someone needs to update it manually?[/QUOTE] It updates automatically, its just a bit slow.

[QUOTE=Reagy;52862597]After the auto thread situation he kinda dropped off the face of the earth, demodded due to inactivity. I was the one who cleared that ban on his request, mods can't unban themselves and it was ok'd at the time.[/QUOTE] Regardless it was unacceptable behavior, frankly ridiculous and you shouldn't have helped him weasel out of it. I'm happy Hezzy resolved it but there was absolutely no reason other than Bengley's own behavior that it had to end this way. A simple apology would've sufficed, we all understood perfectly well he was having a rough week. I really did not like how he swooped in and stomped all over a subcommunity he had nothing to do with simply because he didn't like being criticized for driving like a prick. That should be universally discouraged and I'm really glad I haven't seen that kind of thing from any other moderators.

Again, kinda got buried last thread. Is it possible to get rid of the cool down on search? I know it’s probably related to VBuletin but, could it be changed?

Hezzy, proffesional work. As it should be expected from admins/mods.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;52862652]Again, kinda got buried last thread. Is it possible to get rid of the cool down on search? I know it’s probably related to VBuletin but, could it be changed?[/QUOTE] The reason the search cool down is there is because it is very intensive on the forums and too many people searching all at once could probably topple the database

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52862667]The reason the search cool down is there is because it is very intensive on the forums and too many people searching all at once could probably topple the database[/QUOTE] Is there anyway to at least lower it? Or is 20 seconds already pushing it?

Shit not again my name is back to being a dirty brown color :(

I disable avatars because I got tired of having shit anime avatars clogging up my screen both in a personal setting and both on my other monitor in public, is there a way to disable images being embedded into people's titles or a reason as to why certain ones are showing up (ala Sam6420)?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;52862698]I disable avatars because I got tired of having shit anime avatars clogging up my screen both in a personal setting and both on my other monitor in public, is there a way to disable images being embedded into people's titles or a reason as to why certain ones are showing up (ala Sam6420)?[/QUOTE] I think he rigged his title to mirror Craptasket's avatar.

I think Adblock would be the only way to disable title images at the moment.

Honestly whats the real point of avatar size limits if you can buy a title and just use it as your avatar?

[QUOTE=sam6420;52862702]Adblock is the only option unless you're browsing using the app.[/QUOTE] Cheers. I have no issue with your avatar btw, it's tasteful. I've just seen other crap avatars floating around using the same thing.

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52862667]The reason the search cool down is there is because it is very intensive on the forums and too many people searching all at once could probably topple the database[/QUOTE] Never knew that, thanks tho!

[QUOTE=EnlightenDead;52862719]Honestly whats the real point of avatar size limits if you can buy a title and just use it as your avatar?[/QUOTE] Because every time you want to change your avatar, you would need to pay for a new title. Unless you're doing something like Sam.

[QUOTE=sam6420;52862751]You could set your title to mysite.com/avatar.png and just change avatar.png, thus giving you unlimited large avatar changes.[/QUOTE] I think they said they're not allowing that anymore, it's rather prone to abuse.

[QUOTE=sam6420;52862751]You could set your title to mysite.com/avatar.png and just change avatar.png, thus giving you unlimited large avatar changes.[/QUOTE] Oh, that's damn useful.

[QUOTE=afromana;52862761]I think they said they're not allowing that anymore, it's rather prone to abuse.[/QUOTE] Where? Is this confirmed?

[QUOTE=afromana;52862761]I think they said they're not allowing that anymore, it's rather prone to abuse.[/QUOTE] No, I genuinly didn't know that. But you may be right with it breaking rules.

Well, it looks like you guys convinced garry to change his avatar for the first time in years.

[QUOTE=sam6420;52862788][url="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1576300&p=52734239&viewfull=1#post52734239"]This is all I could find on the subject.[/url][/QUOTE] Think that's what I saw yeah, imo allowing users to have changeable title images could easily get problematic. While it seems the title can't break the horizontal border, nothing stops it from going forever vertically.

Looking forward to the serious thread where we don't WAYT.
