All of a sudden the results when you
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.

It's a 2015 HP laptop. The icon is
so small now I can't see who it is.

Don’t stand so far away from the screen. Getting closer may be helpful.

And/or you could try a magnifying glass.

Hi,
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.
Psalm 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Proverbs 18:2 A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand, for he would rather express his own opinion.

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.

Is that how the britts spell magnification?

When 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?

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.

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!

You're welcome. So now please see about fixing the other thing. The missing thumb, pointing the other direction.

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.

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..

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.

TBH I read that and was like, Yeah, this post is so bizarre he's gotta be going after someone, like wtf? Then it hit me, two-cent and one-nickel. Moron. Miracle. I think he could have easily made his point without about 90-something percent of that post.

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.

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!

And 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.

Are you not allowed to insult the board members as a whole? I thought as long as it was specified. Makes no difference to me as I am not a super regular. I was just curious.
I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite. You say "black" we go white.

It's a fine line. Precedent has been set that specifically insulting board members has resulted in suspension. Several of those, in the last 5 years. I'm trying to be consistent with that. And taking the phrase "many of the most regular members" (targeting members) into consideration, along with stated DDs intent.

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.
