OverCoat Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah. After looking into this issue further, it wasn't actually a violation of their TOS, which says nothing about "immoral content," just copyright infringement stuff. Their lawyer was just a little kooky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 If we had functioning Topic Reply Notification system, I could see what DS said about replying as being a serious issue. But we don't, so there's no way for sender to know anyone read it just by replying to the thread.It works for me. This is from another thread. Basically, the Topic Reply Notification system hasn't worked for me in about... four months. The last one I got was on August 17th, and the ones I was getting back then just started up abruptly after not working for a good year or so. Anyone know why they're so sporatic? I've made sure the box for getting them is checked, both on my posts and in my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a spam-filtering false-positive issue, if your email provider is filtering server-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Topic replies work for me. It may be a spam-filtering false-positive issue, if your email provider is filtering server-side. It works good for me, but at some times I can suddenly stop receiving replies from a specific topic, even if I've posted in it alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merk Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 nice :)regards, Anersterence9 Well, here's an OCR issue. Isn't there some sort of email validation or random image password (like those found on upload sites) that would deter this sort of thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I think djp is seriously looking at that as an option. Bots already do e-mail verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlankingLine Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Quick question. If the vb switch is really, actually coming up within a week as TO suggested, could we perhaps have an actual announcement about the fact? There are some threads that need to be backed up before the forums are wiped and it would be nice to know exactly what kind of timetable we're looking at rather than just waking up one morning and finding everything deleted.

The Damned Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 One can always hope... A minor issue, that I've mentioned before. Even though I set my account to be logged-in all the time, and always enable auto-login, I still have to log in regardless. In fact, I can come to OCR, go to UnMod or WIPs (which you need to be logged in for, and then suddenly have no access because I need to log in again. It will only be a few seconds between entering the specific board, and then BAM! I'm logged out for some reason. I've checked cookies and security settings on my end, and nothing has changed at all. And this site is the only one I see this happening on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpretzel Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I just found an interesting thread about vBulletin:http://4-ch.net/net/kareha.pl/1166832744/l50 Apparently, the vBulletin vendor checks your forum from time to time and pulls the license from you if you have "depraved content" which seems like an arbitrary thing. In Hongfire's case it was lolicon. You already moderate that stuff out but it could be any number of things, including copyright infringing materials, or other "murky stuff." This is the forum software you're switching to? Are you serious? I'm assuming this is why you're getting rid of UnMod. lulz Though it's been so long since you announced you'd do it that I wonder if you'll still do it at all D: Interesting. Jelsoft reversed their position after the fact, but it's disturbing. However, PHPBB has been so dead in terms of feature upgrades for so long now that I really don't see any alternatives. We've stuck with them for far longer than we should have, probably, and while I like the whole OSS/free software ideology, in this case it's been years without substantive improvements.

djpretzel Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Is unmod gonna be gone after the switch? The current title of "UnModerated" is a bit inaccurate, as moderation can still occur for a number of reasons (spamming, flooding, trolling, illegal stuff, etc.), and with vbulletin certain mod's powers will be expanded to include banning; the plan is to rename the forum to "Off-Topic".

WesPip Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 This isn't exactly new, but it's been slightly bothering me for a while now. Personally, I think we should either have a sticky, in say, TechAss, or possibly put in the FAQ, about user Ranks and their respective post counts. I know the requests only come up once every couple of months, and if I'm missing a [semi]permanent list of them, it seems to follow that newbs would also fail to find it. Not exactly an earth shattering issue, but I think it'd be nice to have around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 You know, after using the site for the past few months, I still have this nagging question: why paginate the remix lists? I don't think I'm the only user who would rather just have all the remixes for a game on one page. The same applies to the list of games for each letter. I know you've brought up the Chrono Trigger scenario multiple times, but scrolling really isn't that much of an issue at a reasonable desktop resolution. In addition, most people don't mind a little extra scroll-time, as opposed to a potential 2 or 3 extra clicks to get to the mix or game they want. At least set the number of remixes displayed to 50 per page, like with the games list. It's more consistent, and would save us all a lot of clicks in the long run.

Arek the Absolute Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hmm.....Gotta get used to the new inbox interface. Since this is a design question thread, I am finding it ok to ask this here. Is there still a save box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 You know the drill... some of us don't like the sidebar, because it takes up too much room, it causes breaks in the pages, it looks terrible... what have you. Anyone got a fix to get rid of it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noTuX Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Its not really a fix, but you could simply switch the style to "default" in the lower left corner of the screen. But, even doing that has its disadvantages. You'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Using Firefox? Add the following to userContent.css @-moz-document url-prefix(http://www.ocremix.org/forums/){ .left-column { display:none !important; } div.middle-column { margin: 10px 0px 0px 145px !important; } div.middle-column-extended { margin: 10px 10px 0px 10px !important; } div.breadcrumb { left: 10px !important; } input { background: white !important; color: #4D4E6C !important; border: solid 1px #4D4E6C !important; } textarea, select { background: white !important; color: #4D4E6C !important; border: solid 1px #4D4E6C !important; }} Voila, no more sidebar on your forums.

The Damned Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Actually, it's the "userContent", not the "userChrome" file. No wonder I couldn't get the change to apply. Here I was trying to put it into the wrong file the last ten minutes. Thanks, DarkeSword. Now I have all my page space back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 You're welcome. I don't like the sidebar in the forums either, and Dave knows that. But as long as we're not needlessly bitching to him about it, he doesn't mind people using fixes like this at all. Feel free to share this info. Also, to give credit where credit is due, the original fix was written by GreyNinja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Maybe this should get stickied, just in case. Other people will come in asking for it. If it's stickied, they can just click on it, follow the simple instructions, and no more bitching. Or maybe an option to have it on or not, in the user's control panel? Like how we can can change styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDriLLL Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Is there a way to change my time over to 24 hr time? There is a saved message box still, its in a drop down scroll bar type deal, you have to move the files over to it. Oh yea, how do I rate threads?
