New Board Help Question Amnesty

[Neonmoon 38,129]

How do you turn avatars off? 

I would like to view this board at work without titties bouncing in someone’s avatar on every page. The “man” frowns upon shit like that. 

[mdmost 43,004]

Don't see anything in settings. Probably best not to browse with your work computer in the meantime.

Well that is not the route I’m going to chose. 

I guess work will have to adjust to the new board like everyone else

When i tried to upload a gif for my avatar, i get a msg saying its too big.  Its the same one i get from South Austins mom.  Instead of rearranging South Austins mom's guts i want to resize my gif.  Any idea?

You should look into this new thing called a smart phone.

i started a thread on the baseball board, the 2018 tampa bay rays thread, that apparently can't be replied to??

Download a program called Irfanview, it is free. It allows you to resize images, both in pixel size and byte size.

[Lurch 5,931]

Does it not take us to unread portions of threads we’d previously read?  This seems to be a huge miss

[bernorange 8,362]

Lurch, click the circle or star icon that precedes the thread title.

[Lurch 5,931]

Ok icon on left takes you to the post after the one you last read.  Thread title takes you to first post.  Time stamp below last users avatar takes you to the last post.

Post your .gif there and a good Samaritan might help you out.

[Bernard 879]

What's with this automatic double-spacing with every return/enter key??? Fuck that. Can I customize that for myself.

If you use an adblocker you should be able to easily add a filter to block avatars.

Also, another nice feature that I didn't see mentioned is being able to tag users by typing @ then their name. This will give them a notification and is particularly useful when you want to pester the fuck out of someone to get them to reply.

[Machinator 32,099]

Thanks for the heads-up, @GSU&UT.

[Mez2 4,023]

seconded on the reply back option for the baseball board.

apparently, i can't pull this website from my phone but can on my computer and tablet. my phone results say this website has no ip address? is that another issue (phone) or related to this website?

Put a www. in front

Thanks. This is what I was looking for

[GSU&UT 1,798]

I'll second that the biggest things missing are being able to change the number of posts and threads you see per page and some alternative themes that don't blind your eyes.

Would also appreciate a spoiler tag option.

Probably a phone issue.  DNS servers/cache not updated.  Reboot might solve it.

Any chance of retrieving my avatar from the old site? Or have they all been deleted? The page where I originally grabbed the image isn't there anymore. I probably have it saved somewhere but it will take some digging to find it. I wish I would've found out about the change before the avatars were removed so I could save it. 

[Hank Scorpio 17,729]

I’m still having Avatar problems. So they ride the dragon things by hooking their pony tails into them, but they also have sex by intertwining their pony tails? So are they fucking the dragons? Any help is appreciated.

That's why it is called a 'profile photo' and not an avatar in this realm of the surly

[mdmost 43,004]

But we want everything to be exactly like it was before while putting in zero effort on the backend to make that happen.

Is there a way to post a GIF I have saved on my computer? I can't find the original from he internet.

That's because you put a giant veiny D as your avatar.

I can access everything on the site at work, but the football board, WTF!?

 

Anybody else running into this?

[Yarbr 123]

Welp, figured it out.  The commie IT bastards set up keywords and so far howard stern and football are blocked.

[HornGrandioso 22]

I registered too hastily and I want to change my handle. I've been using it since hornfans and want to streamline it. Any way to do this with the same e-mail address?

[HornGrandioso 22]

I reiterate that I want to change my handle to make it less clunky; not to totally reinvent myself. I'm the same old corvette-driving dick-drawing trans woman astronaut photoshop artist I've always been. 

[Mojo Hand 4,580]

Just create a new Gmail account.  They're free.  It's not like you use email a lot in conjunction with a message board anyway.  If you want email notifications, set it so everything forwards from that email to your main one.

SIAP - but it doesn't look like the site is loading on mobile browsers. Was working earlier this morning. 

I'm on Android, can't speak to Iphone.

When you click on a thread is there a way to go straight to the first post which you have not yet viewed?
