What is up with some of these ads? This is the 2nd one I've seen this week that blocks the login button so I have to refresh and hit "sign in" before the ad loads. I mean this is ridiculous:

sent to my ad network guys - this shouldn't be happening like this. 

 

For those wondering - lurkers see ads all you have to do to get rid of them is sign up

Small price to pay to rid this place of those paid to post.

People get paid to post in CR? May God rest their souls...

Hugo is a Russian paid to post. He is what he rails about.

We need the ability to leave comments with our rep. I had to pos rep someone today that I cant stand pos repping. I like to let them know that their post was good enough to overcome my dislike for them without dragging it into the thread.

This would be awesome

Motion to enable leaving vitriolic comments when dropping neg.

easily the best part of shag for me was the neg comments.

I want to sign up for that boot camp, though.  Not for the certainly waste of money shitty "financial advice", but for that cool Bobby Brady 70's haircut and Greg Brady Johnny Bravo sweater!  Man I hope they can tell me where to go to get those!

I can't wait for Rugby Shirts and Toughskins to come back.

So threads still jump with tweets, next unread will never be fixed, the entire fluid mode is still completely fucked. 

Just out curiosity, imma, what exactly have you done? Why are there so many unresolved issues?

You keep saying shit will be fixed, but it never is. 

[spystud13 2371]

Go to XenForo, it’s so much better than this.

Man I’d like to load my two chicks kissing pic for my profile pic but I still can’t. Sad.

[ztejas 43524]

1. Any way we could get https://streamja.com/ and/or https://streamable.com/ links to embed? A lot of the sports highlights, esp from reddit, seem to be hosted on that and it never displays as anything but a link. It can be a pain in the ass trying to track down the same plays on twitter or YT (mostly due to strict copyright - esp from soccer broadcasting rights) and twitter always takes you through multiple screens to get the link you need to embed.

2. Another suggestion I'd like to crowdsource if it hasn't been already - seems like "Other Sports" is mostly soccer dominated. To me it seems it would be a cleaner view if soccer had it's own either forum or sub-forum. I think it would help visibility for the "other" other sports on the main forum and make it easier to find threads for the soccer fans here.

That said, I think most of the auto-embed work is really, really good and I have very few issues with the site as a whole. I would guess most issues that get brought up are user-side and not board-side.

I support your right! 

Unrelated, is it possible to disable rep for CR? The shit negging/pos repping is silly.

Is there any setting that will always pop up the last post in the thread when you mouse-hover over the topic? Right now it pops up the 1st post in thread with an option to go to latest post.

[miguelito 11266]

In the Lulz forum, 2 threads have a unique condition: the LOL thread and the Holy Shit one.

When I click on them, and then click "back," I have to hit back several times to get back to the Lulz main page.  It's as if the page loaded 8 times, and I have to go back that many times.  Is this ad-related or what?

Not sure if improvement, but mayhaps the site would be better without these hideous black bars when I view the website on my phone.

The "Default," not "Main (Default)" theme eliminates those, but it's fuct up in some other ways, as in can't access inbox, profile, and some other things.

Please fix the Default theme.

I don't care about any of the minor inconveniences I put up with on this site, but I will say it seems to suffer from more than the average number of bugs. If it's the forum software, which seems to be the consistent answer, consider hitting reboot and migrating to a different product. 

[immamac 42877]

yeah, I'm really kicking that around - there's lots of good stuff, but then there's lots of "WTF" type stuff that happens that their support has been real shitty helping out with.

I remember when someone had a screenshot of a rocko neg where he said he'd take a shit on their entire family. I bet that guy's second cousins and other distant relatives were so confused when this black dude in a sweet vette pulled up and started undoing his pants. 

[Hate 20128]

We really need the ability to leave rep comments.  I miss being able to leave my thoughts with my rep without it being dragged into the thread. 

[El Diablo 4232]

Notification at top of page says maintenance at 11PM CST. We're on CDT until November. 

[The University 851]

@immamac is it possible to add rep buttons or modify the graphic used?

🤘 wouldn't be a bad option around here.

Would also mean less posts about neggings, for some of you who get extra butthurt about it.

If you make more than say five posts in CR in a 24 hour period you are not allowed to post on any other board until you have fewer than five posts in CR in the last 24 hours.

Surly dickbutt needs to be placed on some national monument

[spystud13 2371]

That’s not permanent on every forum, is it? 

[immamac 42877]

Just gameday flair. Courtesy of @TreatyOak btw

[ConferenceRoom 6144]

I definitely appreciate the sentiment and far be it from me to turn down a dickbutt gif but it's intrusive. Keeping to the football board would be fine. 

[The Dude 1246]

If you are going to let political slap fights go on in Daily Texan, just shut it the fuck down already

[PilotsError 2312]

The football board is completely unreadable.  I don't know why new users are allowed to sign up during weeks with big games.  They add nothing and the forum is ruined.  There's nothing amusing about it.

[Deej 76858]

Can we get a seperate board for soccer? It dominates the "Other Sports" board. Needs it's own thing.

[housious 468]

It would be better if we got a different website for soccer 

[RPM 26327]

Love the game day banner. A++

We can actually do this if you guys want shared usernames, but dedicated to EPL or something. 

A new board can happen quickly though let me know which one yall want 

[bamachine 1231]

The banner is cool I guess but can it be only on the actual sports boards? That way I do not have to scroll past it every time when on the entertainment threads. Just an extra thing to have to scroll past and my time is precious.
