However, you can't see it if they aren't online.

 

 

You can if the "online" button does not appear under the post and now if the square is grey instead of red.

Ha, I was actually just being a smartass. Apologies.

Hello!

 

For quite a while now, my user reputation screen has only showed a couple entries (seven entries at current view) but, when I go to other users' reputation screen, I see 30 or 40 entries (if they have enough + or - rep to have that many entries).

 

Why are most of my user rep entries hidden or absent?

 

Thanks!

This is quite likely due to the fact that when the reputation system first was implemented, people didn't have to give a reason and we didn't have any way to moderate or check rep points. This was also the time when BTG got his -200 rep points.

 

Anyway, after we implemented it, people had to give a reason, and it would show on the profile. Most likely you have received a lot of points before this was implemented so only your most recent rep points are showing on your profile.

Makes sense. Thanks.

I have a minor request. Could we get a 'return to previous forum' button at the bottom of each thread page?

YES. Seconded.

Is there any way the most users online thing can be reset? Because there is no way we can beat that any time soon

Not a bad suggestion, though I personally wouldn't use it.

I don't think it can be reset, and even if it could, it's just statistics.

I think that you should change the error code to say "Error 503: Server was shot by a 12 gauge"

It'd add a nice touch.

Agreed, though I can deal without it... (free scroll wheel on my G700 mouse can go through an entire page in about 1.5 seconds)

My reputation say's I have 16 points, but only displays that I have 4. What's up with that?

or did I get 6 plus and minus reps?

[Scorpia]

it means you have 16 points to give people, but only 4 left of what's been given to and taken from you. i think you gain 2 points to give for every 1 rep you get.

[Jusmar]

Ah okay, thanks for the explanation.

Can we have the option to change are names back, but only let each person do it once a year?

Nope. You have a name, stick with it.

This forum seems to have been heavily attacked by spambots lately, any particular reason for it?

No idea, but we've been busy keeping the forum as clean as possible lately. Hopefully the admins are working on getting some better security measures in place, but on the mod side there is not much we can do aside from just banning them and deleting their posts.

[danielsangeo]

The only other thing that could be done, and I don't think that regular mods would have that capability, is to turn on some sort of CAPTCHA or other registration device so that spambots can't automatically register and post.

[Chuckthe2nd]

We have been absolutely infested today.
