How do I...

[DonPanetta]

ok cuz @DonPanetta wants it up for 30+ years, long after I'm dead, i bequeath the rights, images, domain name, ssl certs, digitalocean server, to you sir.

FWIW, I'd always rather attach pics and keep them part of the archive here, well, for archival purposes. There's nothing worse than going back and finding an old thread with info you need, only to find dead image links.

However I do frequently hotlink memes and other non-essential stuff. Just the fun stuff that isn't important.

All jokes aside, there are two options here. Both with some hurdles but not entirely impossible.

• The hard way: the images at klovimg are dumped and imported into the media section of the forums. Then we would need to figure out a way to translate filenames from klovimg to the generated filenames created by the attachment/media section.
  
  
• the easier way: backup klovimg, make a new subdirectory or subdomain on klov. dump the klovimg backup there and then run a query through the database to edit all the image urls.

I better finish putting my games back together, where all the teardown pics are hosted on KLOVIMG or I'm going to be screwed trying to remember what goes where

Please LMK as soon as we can upload animated GIFs. I got my 3 donation fruits for that very reason.

Do you have to donate more to enable animated gifs?

Yup. At least you did with the last KLOV forum software. 3 fruits = ability to use an animated GIF as our avatar. Now it's non-permissable until they get everything sorted.

Are you able to attach pics in Conversations? If so, please advise. Thanks!

Is there a way to get more than 10 pages to show when browsing new posts? Been gone for a few days and just noticed I can only scroll to page 10, forums won't let me go any further. =/

Is there a way of not getting alerts for a specific thread? I want them in general but one thread is annoying and it's not obvious to me how to shut them off for just that thread.

Press the 'Unwatch' button at the top, to unsubscribe from it?

I'm not subscribed to it now but I get alerts (reactions) from it. There is no 'unwatch' button at the top, the button actually says 'watch'.

Hmmm... It must be that you get reactions regardless of being subscribed (which I guess sorta makes sense).

Are you referring to the 'who wants rep' thread? Maybe you can delete your post from that thread?

All of this extra social media nonsense is annoying. I really liked the old private rep system better (which you could make anonymous or not, by including your name in the message.)

Yes, that's the thread.

I was not able to delete my old messages on the old forum software; I tried. I haven't looked to see if I can delete them now but they're probably 4-5 years old now.

I liked the old system better too. I'm pretty much ignoring the new one.

Have you unchecked some or all of the checkboxes? In the upper right hand corner find:

(your username) => Preferences => Receive a notification when someone...

Yeah, those are all global settings. He's looking for thread-specific.

 

[DonPanetta]

only thing i can suggest is to "watch" that thread and then "unwatch" it just to see what happens

How do I...

See new arcade only related posts? I'm not really interested in the off-topic/politics stuff showing up in the list when I press "What's new".

Was very easy on the old site - is it possible with the new forum?

Thx!

this has been addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions.

How can I view New "arcade only" Posts and threads like we could on the old forum?
This is currently being looked into but there is currently no ETA. A somewhat crude, short term solution to this would be to 'watch' the specific forums you like and then view those threads via the watched menu in the main forum navigation .

Got it - thanks

For what it's worth, I'm running with one of the dark visual themes here and really like it BUT the "thumb" of the scrollbar is very dark gray against a black background and that makes it extremely difficult to find when you want to scroll down. Greg, is that color adjustable by you or is it all hardcoded?

 

[habo]

Yup. At least you did with the last KLOV forum software. 3 fruits = ability to use an animated GIF as our avatar. Now it's non-permissable until they get everything sorted.

Is there a sized limit or resolution for animated gifs?
