Jeric's post in Disable Personal Status Updates? was marked as the answer
While that function exists, a member won't be able to self restrict Status Update permissions. However, if the need arises, simply PM a Moderator and we can do this for you as a courtesy.

I understand the purpose of server scripting used in images, I use them at work.
I know that this isn't the answer you want to hear, but we do not allow them on MLP Forums. If doesn't matter if it is .php, angular, etc.

Jeric's post in Is MLP Forums a private forum? was marked as the answer
I can approach your question several ways. Here are the most common when 'private' comes into play
Ownership - MLP Forums is a privately owned and operated domain, yes.
Data security - We do not share your personal identifiable data to 3rd parties.
Browsing - Your posts and profile are (depending on where you post) are completely public.

Jeric's post in Can i necro pony posts was marked as the answer
If you have something substantial or productive to contribute to an older topic, you can post in it 'bumping it' with the exception or RP and the Welcome forum.
There may be occasional time where a current rule will apply on the thread, but this isn't common.
I'm on mobile so I'll link it later, but there IS a mention of this in the FAQ.
Also it is worst mentioning that if it is this forum, neither myself or Ashley will approve the post unless it is actually helpful to the OP.
As your question was answered. I'm locking this thread

Jeric's post in Reply box missing was marked as the answer
As I have already addressed, you do not have access to specific status update functions as you are under moderation. Replies to status updates do not work the same way as replies in topic where a moderator will review and approve the post. There is no ‘approval’ queue for someone else’s status updates. If you dispute this action you may file a Moderation Dispute via the Support Ticket system.
You can't reply to Status Updates until you are off Moderation.

Jeric's post in Unable to post status update and reply to status update was marked as the answer
This is not a glitch. This is a function of the moderation queue itself. Every item that you post is reviewed and approved by the Moderation team. As this is a Normal Operating Characteristic of this function I will close this thread.
Please read this top in the FAQ. Moderation Queue

Jeric's post in Notifications issue was marked as the answer
I'm using three different browsers on three different machines. As I am typing this there is a '3' in the sticky nav notification icon.
I right clicked on Fawkes Profile link and and opened in a new tab. It shows '5' in that tab.
Did the same in another browser and it shows '7' now.
As I complete this post there is still a '3' in the Sticky Nav notification.
As you can probably see by now, Feld0 has repaired the notifications so they should show live.
Fixed

Jeric's post in Blog notification was marked as the answer
It really depends on the notification settings of your friends. If they follow your blog, they will receive notifications based on how they answer the below question. Note that that only applies for new entries in an already established blog and not a brand new blog.
Notify me of new entries on blogs I follow
Status updates are also viable but again dependent on your friends notification settings.
Notify me when one of my friends updates their status

Jeric's post in How do you post a poll? was marked as the answer
Hey @Lunar Glow, Visual Walkthrough Coming up.
You do not need to select to make the results Public, or multiple choice. You can edit it after the fact ... but cannot switch a private poll to a public poll once the first vote is cast.
Hope this helps.

Jeric's post in Time Spend Online statistic was marked as the answer
We store data server side not client (browser side), give it an "id", and let the client know (and pass back at every http request) that id. That is a session and it is controlled by server configuratyion, and various files in the software's file system. Sessions expire on the server side after a set time period where there are no more requests from the client side to the server. At this point the 'clock' stops ticking.
More specifically, The UID or Session ID is stored in the session data, server-side, after successful identification. Then for every HTTP request we get from the client, the session id (given by the client) will point you to the correct session data (stored by our server) which contains the authenticated user id - that way your code will know what user it is talking to. An HTTP request to view http://mlpforums.com/topic/113359-time-spend-online-statistic/ will be point A in time. If you do nothing for 'x' minutes or hours (depending on server config) then the session is terminated.
Let me know if that explains things.
Also forgot to add cookies to my description. Danka @Lato

Jeric's post in Multi post bug was marked as the answer
If execution time is taking longer, do not click post multiple times. The server and client are communicating, and IPB software is not a SPA with real time data binding. Hitting submit constantly will create duplicate entries. This is why many e-commerce sites caution you from hitting submit again while it is processing your payment.
If this does happen, just report the dupes and the moderator or sectional will handle it for you.

Jeric's post in My Little Pony Movie Sub-forum? was marked as the answer
I believe the deciding factor of when will be the number of topics on movie speculation. As volume increases it may make sense to create its own forum. This is a very imaginative community that loves nuance and old fashioned school yard, "What if ..." topics. I can see the speculation causing Show Discussion to overfloweth in a few months time. Right now it's only three posts, wait until they have children.
Seriously though, it may be too early right now, but it is a valid suggestion.

Jeric's post in Delete posts in these threads? was marked as the answer
Please submit a ticket it is the best avenue for your request.
This topic concerns a technical or general issue that is better suited for an admin to handle, due to its' complicated or private nature. It is thus better suited as a Support Ticket.

Jeric's post in Is it possible to post an audio file in the PM? (Not Youtube file) was marked as the answer
, I have to retract what I stated. The PM system, like the topic/post editor, removes the embedded video as it restricts HTML being used. You can embed in a few other areas on the site (About Me, Blogs) but not in a PM. You will unfortunately need to link them only.
