  1. Jeric's post in Frozen profile view counter was marked as the answer   
    This appears to be functioning currently though I am not sure yet why it broke and why it suddenly resumed, but all missing views appear to have been accounted for.
  2. Jeric's post in Site Won't Load On Wii U Browser was marked as the answer   
    Correct. IPB 3.4.x and MLP Forums are not compatible with the WiiU browser, and there would be a bit of tinkering needed (for example including the JS object/scripting to access the controller) for it to even be viable. Currently there are tasks opened specifically to address Internet Explorer issues so this would not be a priority. 
  3. Jeric's post in Blocking Forum Games posts from Topics I've Participated In box was marked as the answer   
    @Knight Hadron, unfortunately this feature does not exists at present. 
     
    You could click here if you want the nuclear option and uncheck Enable Board Index Face panel. It will remove Topics I've participated in, and Recently discussed forum topics. I don't think that is what you are going for though. 
  4. Jeric's post in my banner has changed im unsure why was marked as the answer   
    The banners are changed every week. We run monthly banner contests where members can vote on their top three preferred banners (a new poll will be going up at midnight so watch for updates in this thread . The Admin group also accepts ad hoc banner submissions for Season Five episodes, and I have been known to personally request banners for specific events. 
  5. Jeric's post in What is this sites format/layout? was marked as the answer   
    The two accurate answers. Though there is a lot of custom work that has gone into MLPF, the vendor and software used is IPS and IP Board. I'll go ahead and close this out. 
  6. Jeric's post in Mobile character limit was marked as the answer   
    This is a known issue with no simple resolution. There are forums that will tell you that the character count is 100 when it is 20. It has been an issue as long as I have been here. Closing. 
  7. Jeric's post in Why can't I upload pictures? was marked as the answer   
    @Pripyat Pony, , - This was related to our disk space running out before/ during the recent migration. Can you confirm all is good?
  8. Jeric's post in How To Delete Account? was marked as the answer   
    Please read this FAQ. Please file a support ticket with any personal details you want adjusted. That said, we do not remove or delete accounts. 
  9. Jeric's post in app? was marked as the answer   
    No there is not. It is not something we are presently designing. This is asked every month either here or in the feedback forum. The short answer is no. The long answer is development would prefer a usable mobile site for the forums, not an app. Unfortunately IPB mobile is limited so that will be not something we can implement soon.
     
    I know this is likely not the answer you wanted to hear, but it is where we stand.
     
    I will go ahead and close this as answered.
  10. Jeric's post in Unable to change my profile background was marked as the answer   
    That is a server side error, but I wasn't able to replicate it. That said, I manually uploaded the image to your background for you. 
  11. Jeric's post in Deleting Status' Glitch? was marked as the answer   
    This is a known issue and we actually have Development task assigned to this in the pipeline (complete with assignment and triage level). This in particular is on the to do list ever since Status Updates broke some time back. For a while you could't even lock/hide the main status update. That element was resolved. This is next. 

    This topic concerns a question or other form of request for assistance, and has thus been sentenced to the Site Questions & Tech Support forum.

    Anyhoo ... We used to have a master list of all known Tech Issues on deck to be investigated or fixed. I'll get with Koukatsu and Dawn Rider to reconstruct that list. 
  12. Jeric's post in Not getting any real-time notifications of statuses or mail? was marked as the answer   
    This was resolved the other day. Notifications are live now. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
  13. Jeric's post in Problems with Account connecting with MLPForums was marked as the answer   
    This issue was resolved as well and was related to a redirect error with the Terms of Service page.  
  14. Jeric's post in How to Delete Posts? was marked as the answer   
    Members cannot delete posts on their own. Please PM me with the post link and I'll review and delete/hide if needed. 
  15. Jeric's post in Do you feel pressured being unaturally nice when you get warnings was marked as the answer   
    I have kept this open for several days allowing people to vent or provide their opinions. What we are ultimately talking about is application of the abuse rule. Good news. In the last few weeks actual action on reported and discovered abuse has dropped dramatically. Either that means we as staff are focusing less of warning people outside of a courtesy reminder to prevent a topic from turning into an argument, or the community itself is just chill lately. Maybe a mixture of both. Probably a mixture of both. 
     
    I have some cold water to throw on this thread however. There are some things that will always be considered a bad idea to type on this forum. One example would be anything that attacks a group of people, or an individual, based on race, sexual orientation, sex, or religion - specifically slurs. Call me Mr. Rogers, but I feel that members are entitled to have a niche on the internet to call their own without the worry of being called a faggot if they are gay, or subhuman for actually having a religion. That goes beyond a cerebral examination of individual, political, or societal issues ... and it has no place here. Directly insulting people ... not a good thing either. It is absolutely fine to say you think someone's opinion is wrong because 'x'. Calling them a dumbass or autist just because of their stated opinion doesn't agree with you ... that won't fly either. This is not  a hard thing to avoid. If avoiding it is unnatural to you ... I don't know what I can really say to you. As with NSFW, there are plenty of sites that allow unrestricted discussion. We don't want to be a pepper too. We like being unique. It suits us.
     
    The abuse rule is not going away. 
     
    I'm calling this discussion closed. Thank you all who participated. 
  16. Jeric's post in Ponyville Ciderfest group was marked as the answer   
    BABSCon is actually one of our Poniverse partners and we hosted a panel and table there. The Badge was for anyone who attended the Poniverse panel or stopped by our table. PCF should reach out to out PR head @Simon if they are interested in a partnership. 
  17. Jeric's post in How Do You Post A YouTube Video In A Post? was marked as the answer   
    Get your best answer above. Thanks
  18. Jeric's post in Setting ranks? was marked as the answer   
    At thus time user selectable badges are not a feature, and due to their purpose user selectable badges are not something on the development radar. I'll close this question out as it has been completely answered.
  19. Jeric's post in Where's the Mobile version button? was marked as the answer   
    They got it. Let me know if you have any issues EG
  20. Jeric's post in Signatures on an iPad? was marked as the answer   
    You nailed it. Rare instance of a question being marked as best answer!
  21. Jeric's post in Forum Category Idea was marked as the answer   
    If there is a website that you like that you would like to review and engage the community on ... Media Discussion has a web prefix. There just isn't enough use of it to necessitate it. I personally would love to see a Computer Science forum ... but again not enough interest.
     
    Of course for it to be a topic ... if has to be framed in a way that would drive discussion ... otherwise it would likely be better suited as a blog based around web site reviews. 
  22. Jeric's post in Having trouble posting my signature was marked as the answer   
    This is how - using your actual profile. 
     

     
    Step 1 (above) Ctrl X to cut the image url
     

     
    Step 2 - click on the image icon
     

     
    Step 3 - past in the image url 
     

     
    Step 4 - serve with your choice of garnish and enjoy
     
    Let me know if that helps. 
  23. Jeric's post in Email change not registering was marked as the answer   
    That should not be the case. Can you please open a Support Ticket?
  24. Jeric's post in This is a thing... (Glitch? or computer problems?) was marked as the answer   
    It is a known issue. You just need to refresh and it will resolve itself.
  25. Jeric's post in Notifications don't load like normal in Main page. was marked as the answer   
    , this will happen when using HTTP instead of HTTPS ... we recently made a change as a test which has led to some expected minor 'glitches'. 
     
    We are actually aware of this issue and have alerted Feld0. In the interim ... navigate and bookmark https://mlpforums.com/. That will work.
