BTW, add me to the list of people that can’t see who thanked/liked stuff. Sorry, I promised to look into this second part a while ago. Seems some user groups, including staff, had a setting that prevented you from seeing who reacted (why this is a thing is beyond me). That should now be fixed. In regards to the first part... 2 hours ago, Ike said: Click the tab on the left of the screen and click forums. You can remove it from there or edit it from there. I believe that's for forum staff to actually add/remove 'blocks', rather than individual user settings. We can't block certain threads, but we can block certain forums. Is there a reason you don't wish to see it RedShell? And welcome back by the way, good to see your name 1

And welcome back by the way, good to see your name Not an important one, I’m just trying to stay clear of anything regarding Super Mario Odyssey until launch (not an easy task these days) and while I have enough will power to avoid the thread for it, my eyes are automatically drawn to that posts section. No big deal (pretty sure nobody would post anything major without a spoiler tag anyway) I’d just like to avoid the possibility of seeing something like that potentially showing up there.

I'm not actually sure how it works with spoilers. I can't say I've noticed one way or another! Are you able to see who reacted now btw?

Happenstance Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I'm going to assume the answer is no but I'll ask anyway. Do we know if there is a way to keep people who you have on your ignore list ignored on the right hand post section?

Nicktendo Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Can anyone advise me on how to embed YouTube audio into a post? Cheers.

Ashley Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Yeah previously the audio posts were just a really small iframe that embedded a YouTube video. Weird old ones are not working as they were just YouTube videos. Maybe it doesn't know what to do with the old tag. @Shorty is this perhaps something that can be done with regex?
Shorty Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Tbh I thought this had been impossible for a long time simply because YT made it so the players don't work that way anymore. They were l literally just tiny Youtube videos that were so small you could only see the controls. They weren't really proper "audio" players, you were just loading the video. If you tried to make one now, it would just come out like this: http://navarr.me/ytaudio/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0e4Crth_Hb8&s=on&psize=s&theme=dark 1
Ashley Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I know (well at least I know what they were doing). Could we convert the old bbcodes to standard YouTube ones in bulk?
RedShell Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Is there some sort of time restriction on editing now? I'm not seeing the option to edit old posts, just the MultiQuote and Quote buttons.
Happenstance Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I can see an edit button on the first page of this thread for my post from June. What theme are you using?

It may be a staff issue. For example, Eddage and other members of staff couldn't see who was thanking/liking posts.

Ashley Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Right. I have now gone through all group-based settings (unless some are randomly scattered about) and compared a standard member to an N-E Staff member and brought them in line where expected (obviously staff can do a bit more). Mind trying again @RedShell? Sorry about this. 1 1

Glen-i Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Just wanna say. I'm digging the new reaction icons. Also, how long did @RedShell have to nag you before the "weird" one was implemented? 2 3
