Feedback Quick questions you couldn't find an answer for...

yep, most of the day on and off
If something is causing slowdown it's not visible in logs/servers/CPU/RDS etc. In which case it's either localised network connectivity or there's something else going on we've previously not been observing.

Ads should be loading up in a way that doesn't stop the site content from loading so it isn't likely to be that but anything is possible.

Regards Forum rules - I was blocked last night for ‘umpire whingeing on a game day thread’

As much as this sounds more than slightly ‘odd’ as far as rules go for a game day thread - I can’t find anywhere where it states this is actually a ‘rule’.

Is criticism of umpire bias considered ‘flame baiting’...because there’s nothing specific about umpire criticism in the rules?

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I don’t want to keep breaking the rules...even if they appear to be more than a little illogical....

Thx.👍


PS - If I can’t ask for direction on the rules here, what do I do?

Question on Reddit video links

these are autoplaying for me, which is esp annoying when the post is quoted (so you get 2-4 video's autoplaying at the same time, and the only way to stop it (that i know of) is to individually find and stop each post).

is there any way to stop these vids from autoplaying?

I don’t know - they don’t auto play for me. I am sure this has been raised and solved before. It might be in the link that is posted rather than anything we do here.

figured it out - its a setting in Edge you have to deactivate (apparently same for chrome and firefox, but their default is no play)

Dear Chief,

I'm having trouble changing my avatar. Files fail to upload properly most of the time and it won't save when they do.

Is there something I can do to fix it myself, or is it a "server issue" or some other computer term I don't know?

Thank you.

If you can tell me these things I can work out the problem:

What are the dimensions of the image in pixels?

If it is animated, how many frames?

What is the file size in kilobytes?

Also, if you can attach it in here we might be able to figure it out.

Not animated. Jpg.
474 X 477
82.98kb

Another poster tested it and mentioned it failed for them also, but I don't have the dimension and size of theirs.

You might want to try reducing the size. Attach it to a post here and I will try it out.

I'll try reducing it. No stress though, I just thought I might have buggered something up on my end.

Still acting weird, won't accept any images. I'll just leave it for a few days and try again later.

I'm not sure if it helps you but this is what its looking like when I click on my avatar in the top bar. It defaults to "no file chosen" as opposed to my current one.

Yes if you don't choose a new file it will say "no file chosen".

That is for choosing a NEW avatar.

Could've sworn it normally says the file name in there for me but I must be tripping.

Even when selecting a new file it remains "no file chosen". The preview image (which isn't the avatar that I can see in threads, not sure what others are seeing as my av) flickers, but then remains the half an avatar in the screenshot above.
