So, I've been avoiding this site....for a variety of reasons, some good and some not so good, but one of the reasons was because it's so freaking slow, and that would lead me to curse. 

But my time spent here was not for nought. People constantly say that everything bad is really good (and I guess that all the time twiddling thumbs waiting for next page to load was better than clicking on all those fast moving sites).

But the other day I really saw the light and realized why it's so good that it takes so long. I was getting depressed that every time I took a peek at the site, there were tens and eventually hundreds of "new replies," and I wasn't going to click on each one (for perhaps I would see some chizuk by mistake). But then it hit me! I clicked on new replies and all the threads showed up. I clicked view on the first thread, but before the thread opened (which is longer than a commercial break during my favorite show on cable) I clicked (view on) the next thread and then the next thread and within several minutes I clicked them all. Gye recognized it as if I viewed every single thread and next thing I knew, I had zero new replies. 

And here I thought that life sucked.

Interesting bug... you can quote a post from the future!
It must have something to do with the way the system handles time zones since the posts were made just before midnight.

BTW I did this with a screenshot, if I would quote it then both dates would show as the 21st.

It's for those that have a ODAAT program
Gye has a special 23 hour day time zone

Seems like that poster has multiple personality disorder.

Woah! No need to judge, just concentrate on your own issues!

Bug in Public Chat: You can delete your own messages, but lately instead of disappearing it shows something like "CC^CONTROL_deletemessage_52889:"

IMHO chats should not be deletable and I'll tell you why

1. Many times I go to the chat and see countless replies by 1 user and cannot understand the conversation - why did parts have to be deleted by a different user if they were appropriate?
2. Compare to other chat groups - for example - can you delete your group wattsap messages (so the group can't see what you posted)? Not that I know of
3. Compare to the forum where you can't delete most of your posts
4. On mobile one can't delete his own chats, so that functionally is restricted from those users and not universal and therefore should be removed entirely

Let me know what you guys think

Perhaps it should be like the forum. You can delete as long as someone else didn’t post below yours.

Guys - On mobile devices the box is changed and is now as long as the post so that it doesn't jump away from a section you are editing in a long post
it does move the editing tools higher than previously...

Anyone have a problem with this change please note it here asap

It seems that due to recent events on the forum every post will be reviewed before it is posted 
I understand the need for this but it makes the forum less effective and is annoying 
Is there no way to block IP addresses?
(might be the flaw trouble was talking about)

Although approvin' posts have been discussed, gye has not implemented such a system, as you were able to tell from this post of yours.

With all due respect to Our Great Moderator Cordnoy, Unfortunately there isn't enough mods on the forums at all times to monitor posts on a 24 hour basis. We need to be able to self moderate. When someone sees a post which violates the forum rules, they should report to the moderator. 
Currently as far as I know, when reporting a post, the post remains visible until a mod decides to act on it. Perhaps we can implement that the post get immediately removed and only restored when a mod approves it?

LK I like the idea
Any user that abuses this will have to bear the consequences

However for now it's clearly one stupid guy
Also next thing we know he's gonna come on as multiple users and delete everyone else's posts with your great idea if it gets implemented

My personal opinion is that this is not a big deal. If someone calls another guy a faggot, or a f*ckin' imbecile, or a zimah, he should do what Shlomo did and grow from it, and use it as a tool for growth. If the word moron or retard is on the site for three hours, who gives a sh*t? Why would you give one damn what some pajama wearin' basement ignoramus blogger calls you?

Where did the "bad word deleted" go?
