Forum Migration to XenForo Completed

I just noticed the small thumbnail with my avatar for the threads I posted in. What I'd like to know is if it's normal that the thumbnail appears only for the threads where I have a post on the last page. Thanks!

 

I see my small avatar on threads where I replied, including those threads where I did not reply on the last page. The exceptions being threads where I replied before the transition to XenForo. Older threads don't have my small avatar on them.

 

I think this is the explanation. Thanks.

 

Yes, that´s exactly what I mean, it´s getting on my nerves. If people don´t want to see them, they can block them with an ad blocker, not?

I wonder why disabling this also kills all formatting options, that´s just insane.

Perhaps it´s indeed browser (and perhaps even processor?) related. I´m using an AMD Athlon 64 processor from 2005.
Sadly enough Opera is the only browser that I can use on old machines.

IE, Firefox and Chrome are way too heavy, and besides, they suck anyway.

 

Too bad the status levels for number of posts are gone.

 

Opera behaves differently when I reply with a quote - as this answer above to Rmus in post#498.
But when I do a quick reply, i.e. no quote - it's fast and quiet.

 

Yeah, that was kinda fun...

 

A mild annoyance: the bubble for the thread preview is cut off when the thread is too close to the top of the window.

 

I noticed a non-working link: "How do I create and vote in polls?"
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/creating-polls.97636/

 

Now, if only there is a way to view all threads that I've posted in within the order of their latest posts.

 

As I've mentioned before, when logged in here using HTTPS, if I click on a Wilders HTTP link in a search engine result, I'm immediately logged out by Wilders. Is this on purpose?

 

Yes, I've looked into that and advanced search. Still does not answer the original question. I've specifically stated all thread I posted in within the order of their last post for a reason. That was the default behaviour of the previous advanced search, now everything is ordered within my last post even if I display results as threads.

 

Uh... how do I attach an image in the middle of a post? Do I have to manually put the ATTACH code? Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I can't find where it was explained. Thank you.

Yeah i mentioned & showed how to before ! It's easy to miss stuff though. Just grab the image/s & place it/them where you want in your post.

 

On that note, and given that there are probably many sites that don't use secure cookie options and/or HTTPS consistently, perhaps it is wise to configure one's browser to force HTTPS (or at least block HTTP) for those top level sites and secondary hosts where you only want to use HTTPS. Possibly along with forcing cookie options if/where that makes sense. Assuming the user understands enough of the subject and takes care not to break something important, this should make their critical browsing more deterministic.

 

Browser extensions for doing so are listed in "14.22. Force HTTPS:" at https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/probably-best-free-security-list-world.htm?page=0,13.

 

Post #? Yeah, now I remember it a little, the drag and drop thing IIRC. Thanks.

 

@ GrafZeppelin

Pleasure !

 

I am unable to reply to this thread: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/thr...obile-advertising-program-enhancement.363154/
If I click Post reply, the buttons fade out for a few seconds and nothing happens. It doesn't matter if I use the small reply box at the bottom or the More Options one.

 

Good, I'm on a diet and your avatar makes me hungry

 

Another extra click added to view "recent activity". Not good.
