'Thank You' Button Problem
Thread Rating:
hit the 'Thank You' button are so small
you can't see who left the thank you.
If it can't be read, what the point of it.
Works fine for me. Might be time to upgrade your 1990's computer.Quote: EvenBobAll of a sudden the results when you
hit the 'Thank You' button are so small
you can't see who left the thank you.

It's a 2015 HP laptop. The icon is
so small now I can't see who it is.
And/or you could try a magnifying glass.
I always have my browser set to be magnified to 125%. They(my pic circle and the likes) are all the same size to me, even at 110%(try that) at 100% the likes seem to shrink significantly.Quote: EvenBobThis is what it looks like:
Hi,Quote: AxelWolfI always have my browser set to be magnified to 125%. They(my pic circle and the likes) are all the same size to me, even at 110%(try that) at 100% the likes seem to shrink significantly.Quote: EvenBobThis is what it looks like:
FYI I use a 14" laptop or a 27" desktop. When I'm not wearing my specs, I change the zoom to suit.
I've noticed that the site uses a reactive layout that actually moves stuff around or shrinks or expands certain page elements depending on the screen size, the browser magnigification and the window size. Some of the combinations of those sizes just don't work too well, with elements sometimes overlapping and hiding each-other. I'll flag these observations to the design people. For now, just try to find a zoom size that works for you.
17" Laptop for me, I don't even own a desktop anymore, haven't owned one for years. Oftentimes I'm on my Mobil phone so it's a moot point. I assume Bob still uses a rotary phone.Quote: OnceDearHi,Quote: AxelWolfI always have my browser set to be magnified to 125%.

Is that how the britts spell magnification?
If so, I'd gladly trade it for fixing the more serious flaw. When the insipid "Thank-You" buttons were created, either someone forgot the necessary corresponding thumbs down button, or else mine isn't visible. And I'd be quite happy to swap my thanker-name revealing feature for the much more useful NO-thanks & thumbs-DOWN button.

I'd love to see the political threads after THAT gets added... haha....
Quote: DrawingDeadWhen I make the mousey pointer thingy point at the annoying "Thank-You" suckup faces (always accidentally) it makes their names appear. In easily readable normal sized type, right next to the little shrunken avatar faces doing the thanking. And I assume it would continue to do so in the unlikely event I ever actually wanted to know, and put the pointer on one of them intentionally. So is this really a special feature just for me, that apparently the E. Bobster & some others don't have?

O.M.G. you have solved a very annoying (minor but peevish) issue for me. Thank you!
I've been almost exclusively on my phone since before the thank you button was put in. If I didn't recognize the icon, or if someone had the default, I didn't know who it was .
Your post gave me a clue, so i tried some stuff. Turns out, on an Android phone, if you touch and hold the icon, it goes to a menu with the PERSON'S NAME ON THE FIRST LINE.
Who knew??? Woohoo!
Just for a totally make believe example, with details picked utterly at random so as not to refer to anyone in particular mind you, let's say a mentally challenged member named Twocentmoron makes a thread about how much he enjoys standing in an intersection scratching his ass in front of motorists, and how wrong it is that some of them don't seem to appreciate his hairy hide, and honk and flip him off and yell "get lost creep" and throw shit at him. Just pretend that some day there could actually be drooling wacko forum members like that who'd be signing on here.
So about forty people see the thread starter post (most of them accidentally) and thirty-eight of them immediately reach for the vomit bags most people keep handy whenever viewing so many of those posts on this forum. But one got klutzy for a moment with an inadvertent click and two are actually as creepy as Twocent, so now there is a little gaggle of three "Thank-Yous" which looks like universal wild applause to T.C.M. and he is encouraged to continue. Next with something like a thread about copping feels from store clerks and at Girl Scout cookie tables at supermarkets.
No need to actually click into any of the explicitly labeled political sewage threads to see such. There are several hyperactive jackasses who take random dumps leaving their stinking brain-dead childish political turds scattered in any and all threads, all the time.Quote: TigerWuI'd love to see the political threads after THAT gets added... haha....

So you type all those long posts from
a phone? You must be like the black
girl I saw at the rent a car place. She
was typing an email on her phone
and her thumbs were just flying. I
was totally impressed. So fast her
thumbs were almost a blur. She said
that's nothing, you should see her 9
year old daughter do it. I felt so old..
I take this as a personal insult.Quote: DrawingDeadYou're welcome. So now please see about fixing the other thing. The missing thumb, pointing the other direction.

It's frightening that you think anything in this post describes you in the slightest. Obviously he was describing me. Just ask RogerKint. :)
There's no tie-in.
Gamblers use money. You have the word Nickel in your name. He said "Cent". That's as close as I can possibly come to you having any connection, and it's like a 5th cousin, twice removed.
Or do you stand in intersections scratching your ass on a regular basis, and this is an exposé? Kidding, but I hope you are, too.
I wasn't kidding, I do think it was directed at me.Quote: beachbumbabsIt's frightening that you think anything in this post describes you in the slightest. Obviously he was describing me. Just ask RogerKint. :)

What if he used the following usernames:
HammerTiger (AxelWolf)
HomelessDesertGal (beachbumbabs)
BigBlackCox (lilredrooster)
SandraGreatCat (sandybestdog)
DrStuffedAnimal [idk bruh I'm not creative] (DJTeddyBear)
Dr.Itch (DRich, lol get it, "Doctor Itch"? sorry I crack myself up sometimes, that's funny tho. no disrespect meant to DRich nor his username)
I could go on for hours if I could remember more people's usernames and was more creative than a bushel of rocks.
But srsly, there should be a thumbs-down, too. Actually, some forums have a thing where you can leave a short comment which is attached to the person's post, right above their signature, and you can either select it to be good or bad karma. I like it because you can post funny comments.

Then my ruling (if that's what you're asking for) is I do not see a personal insult towards you anywhere in this post, and will not be issuing a warning or suspension. You can appeal if you wish.

FWIW, when I read it I also wondered if it was a deliberate, yet covert, attack.

Call someone "a kid" three days in the hold.
Someone does not understand what "have you stopped beating your wife" means three days in the hole.
In both cases IIRC we were told because the person it was directed at felt it was an insult then it was an insult.
Here the person said it was taken as an insult. Not even a warning!
"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
Quote: DrawingDeadAnd 1BB lives! Internet brutality! Just like Hitler! An outrage opportunity! Web-forum justice warriors to the barricades! This is getting hilarious. Here's an insult for you: the emotional age among many of the most regular posters on this forum is a number smaller than their shoe size. Which is exactly why some of them are here. And that statement is absolutely intended to insult any and all people who suffer from willful chronic footwear/grownup ratio deficiency. If it fits, wear it. Or, grow up, and don't.
Well, I can't ignore that. No hypotheticals there. You yourself have said you intended to insult.
3 days. See you then.
He also could have used the same post to correct the possibly mistaken impression he left (which I still don't think WAS personal, but others disagree) in the first post, but he didn't.
There have been other times, you are correct, where it was vague or implied, and thus was not subject to moderation.
It's something that is best done (IMO) on a case-by-case basis.
