Dr.PeterVenkman Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 What are these weird spam posts that've been appearing the last couple of months? Are they fake accounts or accounts that've been hacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2015 they are spambots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Moo Posted February 21, 2015 Admin Share Posted February 21, 2015 We had a lot of spam bots in the last few months, hopefully we've banned them all but if you see any others do report them. I've changed the sign up process slightly to combat this. They're getting smarter though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 1, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2015 I was sat outside Pound Bakery yesterday, watching the unwashed heading into the pawnbrokers to sell their grandma's gold and queuing happily for the chance to play Russian Roulette with their health at the Gabbotts Farm hot counter, when, possibly caught up in the ambience of the setting..... I found myself wondering whatever happened to Flaming June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 8, 2015 All of a sudden, embedded videos aren't appearing for me - I just get big, blank spaces in the posts where they should be. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have exactly the same problem, not even a link to take me to YouTube. The jobs fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Looks like it coincided with us going https. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Moo Posted March 9, 2015 Admin Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yeah I switched us over to HTTPS everywhere, should make things a little snappier and of course means full encryption. There were issues with YouTube embeds which should be fixed now. As far as embedded images go you'll need to perhaps use the HTTPS URL which most sharing services provide now for you. Â If there's a common image sharing service in existing posts that's causing a problem let me know and I'll see if I can automatically rewrite those. Â Edit: Actually images should still load, but the browser will just warn you about mixed content, so not going to tinker with that for now.

Slapnut Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The "If you can't say something nice" thread seems to be a bit fucked. I couldn't view it at all on my iPhone last night, kept saying the page doesn't exist when I clicked on it. Now today I can open it sometimes on my iPad, but not all the time. It'll maybe open once every 5 attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted March 12, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2015 Same here, and I can't figure out how. It opens fine on the laptop, but the page doesn't exist according to my phone. Why would that be? I haven't done something to the formatting or anything, have I?

Admin Moo Posted March 14, 2015 Admin Share Posted March 14, 2015 Possibly something to do with the ellipsis character in the title messing up in some browsers, I've reformatted it to remove that from the URL, so maybe that will make a difference. Â For what it's worth, I have no issues loading that thread either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted March 14, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks Moo. It's loading fine on my phone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted March 14, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 14, 2015 Can we have something resembling the old search function back? Or at least have it so that it displays the results in posts rather than just the thread that it appears in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
