Forum upgraded to vBulletin v5.7.2 - Post all observations etc. here

…

I think it was a big deal back in the day, when everything was new and exciting, and an established (but also somewhat/occasionally unhinged) regular was banned… it was as big a deal as existed back then, in the world of forums – which were really the only highly visible online communities.

I have rm.txt but I'm not sure I should share it because it has personally identifiable information on it and is a rant that throws a lot of name calling of multiple members (while also pointing out other members that he liked) and rule-breaking out there. It is a reaction to a ban that mostly complains about not getting a notification email as part of the ban. Although it sounds like something entertaining and interesting, it's really not that much of either if you ask me. If a mod or admin asks me for it, I can PM it to them and then they can decide what to do with it from there if they're interested in sharing it beyond themselves.

That's interesting, seems like an important part of the forum's sub-culture. I want it.

I miss the wide avatars.

Otherwise this seems fine. I'm just happy the site's alive.

edit: I do enjoy how the wide avatar looks up in the notifications bar

Aright! got my first email notification that made sense and looks like I don't have to disable cosmetic filtering in ublock to access the site anymore. Very nice.

Any plans to fix the email notifications? I keep getting them and they tell me nothing and usually when I sign in after getting them I have no actual notifications

I've got a problem with disappearing PMs. One of them disappeared, one ended up in a different topic, but lately the messages do turn up but they are blank. Can I get this looked at please?

I messaged him on LinkedIn and got an initial reply; I then sent him an invite to the discord server but he hasn't [yet] responded. I sent that invite in January 2022.

So many people from back in the day that I want to talk to that are hard to find now.

binary_hero, nemesis (shinzon), angelphish, timmy, a-arse and probably more that I can't think of at the moment.

wonder what ol' rm is up to these days

Are you actually using https or are you just using Crimeflare's counterfeit SSL service?

• With the dark theme, the bolt gif on the top left sticks out a bit much. Maybe someone with a gif editor can make the background transparent? Or a dark image if theme-specific images are possible.

• I can't edit my profile because it complains I have an invalid birthday. I have gone 20 years without telling you, I'd rather continue this tradition.

Hello!, I can't find an option to change m e-mail and to change my display name, I've been trying to do that for years, but have never ever found the option or settings to do so, where should I look?, thank you very much!

Email adres can be changed in the user settings, you can't change your name , if you want that you have to ask an Admin ( PB)
