I can't for the life of me have a custom avatar, the image I want is 100 x 100 pixels in size and whenever put the Imgur link to it, it refuses to work and the file type is Jpg.

^I swear, I struggle with things like this, the only images that I can find that work right now are gifs, everything else I try never works.

Thank you for suggesting gifs! It looks like my new gif avatar works on my end although it would be easier if in the future, the forum settings can update to include a traditional "Upload image from your device" method.

Damn...the forum really is dying. Would y'all just stick a fork in it already? I was a mod for a few months and was appalled by the staff's lack of regard for this community.

Yeah...they're talking shit about ALL of you. And they know they're on borrowed time. Read it and weep

This makes no sense at all.

So you're referring to the staff on TK, well, you suck, talking shit about the people that didn't do anything wrong.

TK's been pretty active and friendly in recent months, all things considered.

What happens if I click "add foe" on someone's profile?

[CamtheGodzillafan]

^Messages from them will be hidden, you can unhid them manually, but that's about it.

Then you'll end up fighting them until you both tumble off a cliff into the ocean, just like King Kong vs Godzilla.

But yes, Cam had it right.

Here's a stupid question, do I need to be out of the probationary period to give myself a signature? I can't seem to see how on my control panel.

You do need to be out of it to get a sig, same with pms.

Hi. Returning member after a real long hiatus.
I know from looking around on my settings page and from the first post that there's no username change feature to prevent people spamming changes - all well and good - but is it possible to request like a one-time change? I don't use this name anywhere else anymore and am trying to leave it behind me. Personal reasons etc etc
It's fine if not but I thought I'd shoot my shot :']

Why do most of the subforums under the "General" section have only three pages worth of threads?

[SG-17]

I've long forgotten and its been a long time, but what happened to the initial incarnation of the forum? The one with the Planet X UFO as the forum icons.

This one.

[UltramanGoji]

Still here. It’s called “Xilien”, just without the Atragon in the header.

Thanks, but I was also curious about what happened to the actual forum itself.

Was there a database failure and the forum had to be rebuilt or something like that?

Where's the search bar on the forums?

Where's the search bar on the forums?

There is none, there's the board index but that isn't much of a search bar

I’ve been a member since 2021, how do I get out of the probationary phase?
