A True Kaniggit Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Good news everybody! It seems the recent time travel has caused me to hatch from my cocoon. Ignore it if I look a little strange at first. Most newborns do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filippa Eilhart Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I wanted to see what my avatar looks like when round but I don't seem to have one or have any possibility of adding it. eta: oh hey, it's back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Everything looks much less dumb now that the images all work but I am still pretty upset about the data loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I don't like the imbedded gifs. Â But I'm a crochity old fart anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdyphillip Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I really, really dislike the gifs now. The level of actual communication in posting around here has significantly dropped in the time I have been around already. If I can say one thing about it, it would be to encourage others to fully flesh out their posts in addition to adding captions. Â Â (This is my grumpy old man post of the day.)

Ded As Ned Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I really don't like images in posts, but I figure I'd get it in while I could. Â Â This really reeked havoc on the forum games I bet. Â Now we get to wait and see if this one sticks. Â I like the interface, don't like losing a month of posts... but I can live with it if it doesn't become a habit. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 We will be posting a policy regarding embedded images once we know whether this is the database we're staying on or not. In brief: no image-only responses, no multiple images, only images that add to a conversion and are appropriately used. This board is for people who have moved beyond communicating with pictograms. We would very much prefer to shut off image embedding, but that option was removed in 4.0. Its available in 4.1, but for various reasons we cannot upgrade to that.

I can't be trusted to behave and I'm afraid bad things might happen!  Seriously whatever is decided is fine. It was kind of amazing to be able to use gifs. Its like an alternate universe.  BTW - notice how I started this thread as a guest? I was shown as being logged in but when i posted it shows me as a guest. Kinda weird. I have not re tested it but it would be unruly if guests can create topics and reply. Might have just been a bug.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It's no longer hip to be square. Huey Lewis was wrong.Luckily my avatar doesn't look too bad.

polishgenius Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 My avatar looks great in the circle. Unfortunately, it's not the avatar I had two days ago- things are so bad that even Gennady Golovkin ran away.eta:Am I reading this correctly to mean that the posts we are making right now might be gone soon too?

Iskaral Pust Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Just as well I don't have a lot of self-worth tied up in my post count or else I'm only half the man I used to be.I'm not ready to start posting for real until the database has stabilized.

Wise Fool Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 We write and read - and therefore, in some sense, we exist - in an alternate forum timeline. There are now two of each of us, one in the universe where the forum remained as it was. Our alternate selves in that universe, even now, post on threads that are unavailable in this universe, blissfully unaware of the fork in the timeline. How perilous their positions seem, now! How perilous this branch! Any minute, things might go back, and all of this too - erased, from existence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altherion Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I only miss one thread I made in the two months, but it would be nice to have it back.Also, how does one preview posts in this new forum? I see only the Submit Reply button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
