Yeah sometimes I think it would be nice to have a hard hide feature (which used to be the case on the old/previous forum software) where posts and threads used to not appear at all (rather than leave a hidden post/thread message).

It did have a weird result though that if you hid a full page of posts on a thread, a user could still see that page but it would be empty lol
Remember when the "touch the wall" thing appeared in the wilderness? I think I leaked something on one of the threads that wasn't supposed to be leaked... and the post disappeared. Not hidden, but it disappeared. Only 9 posts on that page in the thread. lol.

If we ever get the chance to get a forum update, the list of updates that everyone would want is obviously loooong haha
Yeah. lol. They're all good suggestions, but it's a long list. ^_^

Yeah, it was a weird view for a regular user and I think if I remember that far back, I became an FMod within a week or 2 of the new forums (which is based on the current system) went live so I wasn't familiar with the mod tools/view on the old software, just a user.

Same with hidden threads, if someone made like 20/30 spammy threads that all got hidden then a whole forum page would either be present but empty, or show like 5 threads instead of the regular 25 (I think 25 was and still is the limit).

Nostalgic!

lol. I remember doing bumping duty, calculating exactly where I had to start bumping threads to put page 1 and 2 back to the way they were before all the "spammy threads" and push all the hidden/locked threads onto page 3... and then trying to see if I could get it done within a couple of minutes before anyone noticed. ^_^

Nostalgia!

Is it just me... or did the forum avatars just break?

EDIT: Seems like they're back to loading properly now.

Yes, sometimes they take awfully long to load on my end. But I haven't cleared my cache in years, so might be that. :P Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

It's like the avatar server crashed or wasn't responding. Everything else was fine, but the avatars wouldn't load. It just displayed the default image placeholder that you see when a website is missing an image file.



Maybe there was update to the avatar system or something...
