We need a sad reaction too I think. Someone on HFHabs posted how a relative passed away, and my options were either to "like," "laugh," or use a little girl or Olli Jokinen pic lol.

"Guys, my dog died."

*thumbs up*

I agree - either "sad" or "support".

Feels weird when someone says that they were just diagnosed with cancer, and the most appropriate available response is the face with the heart eyes.

I just noticed that there is a bug using the editing tool and I don't know what is causing it specifically - perhaps it is different if a mod tries to edit a post - please see the images below (from this thread:What's Your Most Controversial Hockey Opinion?)

My post as it appears when I posted it originally with formatting as intended:

My post in edit mode:

As you can see, large chunks of text is missing and the formatting has changed in the body of text where bulleting is involved.


EDIT: I've now resorted to re-posting my own original reply in that thread, so the formatting/editing works again and it might not be apparent to admin/moderators what the problem will be on the back end. Sorry if this doesn't help fix the problem in future but at least you're aware?

Over on the Entertainment board, we face this each week, since every celebrity death gets a thread and there's no suitable reaction. A few times, I've "liked" the top post to show that I liked the person who died, but then taken it back when I realized that it could be perceived as liking the death.

I'd vote for replacing angry Olli with a sad emoji. Hardly anyone uses angry Olli (especially when they know that it subtracts from a person's likes) and the turkey girl reaction is usable in most of the same cases. A sad emoji would get a lot more use than angry Olli, I imagine.

Sometimes an old thread is suddenly active again, and I think that's okay sometimes.

May I suggest a label by the thread title indicating that it's old, perhaps a year after thread start?

I am constantly getting linked to ads when trying to click on thread titles, posts etc..

 

[Joe Sakic]

We need more ads on here.

Just use Brave. I literally see zero ads.

I was going to become a sponsor, but after several of my posts were deleted, I decided not to.

There used to be an option in preferences that let you change the default quick search option (relevance or most recent) which is now gone, and the quick search defaults to relevance every time.

Please re-add this. Quick search gives the most irrelevant out-dated results, and it's annoying having to go through advanced search every time.

I’m a paid sponsor, but I still get the “disable adblocker” pop-up 3000x per day. Pretty ridiculous.

 

[Hockey2Hockey]

Omg it's been so bad. I could not access for 14 months. Before that, I was here 7 months.

Can a mod kindly explain why one fanbase is allowed to incessantly complain about the refs, yet pointing out their hypocrisy results in a thread ban? Feel free to delete this and DM me. But its rather upsetting that this has happened twice in a week with 0 explanation

Because you're incapable of doing so without making it a fanbase attack.

(I'm not the one who thread banned you - I just got here. I'm giving you the answer you asked for. There will be no follow-up).

I mean obviously I disagree with what is classified as a fanbase attack, but I do genuinely appreciate the response. Hopefully next time I can get my point across within the rulebook

My pleasure - you’re a good poster and I felt like you deserved an answer.

You're at least my 2nd favorite admin now. Top 3 at worst

Not a paid sponsor, but the entire website has become un readable. Was thinking about becoming a sponsor to rectify the issues. Thanks for saving me money.

I read the boards on my iPhone via Safari and haven’t seen an ad in months. I don’t use any ad blockers or pay for anything. Maybe it’s just a secret perk of being here almost 20 years lol

I like that this can be interpreted many different ways...

"We'll fix it so that everyone else has the same great experience that you've had."
"We'll fix it so that you see ads and pop-ups like everyone else."
"We'll fix it so that you can't read the boards on your iPhone via Safari any more."
"We'll fix it so that you won't make it to 20 years here."
