  • You getting randomly logged out too?
  • Nah. Just the people known to be under 18. #WarOnChildren

    See, if you hadn't told us, you wouldn't have been effected...
  • I've been getting logged out recently as well.

    22, before anyone makes a bad joke.
  • I was logged out when I reloaded the forum about a half an hour ago, but I've been back a couple times since without issue.

    I do get logged out a couple times a week, but I assume that's normal from my session timing out?
  • I had this mostly happen on mobile. Main page would say I was logged in but all threads would say I was not logged in.

    I've had the threads temporarily forget I'm signed in and send me to the first page 2-3 times today.

  • I've always found a simple refresh of the page logs me back in. I've never had to manually enter my username and password. It's a minor issue at best.

    Yep.
  • The spam filter keeps eating my ToTDs.
  • Is there a way to embed tweets into posts?

    BB Code? [/tweet]

  • ahh ahh thank you :smile:
  • How do I get my comments approved? They just disappear from the thread.

    I've only had a few that have needed approval, since the contain links I guess.

    That only happens if your comment looks like spam. Write a better comment.
  • They're practically identical to any other post I make.

    I've had spammier looking posts not need approval

    Spam filters work in mysterious ways. I notice it happens a lot if your post is just a link with nothing else in it. If you write a bit of text, it almost never happens.
  • But thats what I've done. And actually I have had posts which were just links that have gone through just fine.

    It's a SPAM bot. If there were a predictable way around it, it wouldn't be doing very well, would it?
  • Why not just have a spam flagging and a more forgiving spam filter.

    If a human read my posts, I doubt they would be considered spam.

    I don't make this software.

    What kind of option do you think is in there? Upload my own custom spam filter?
  • Given that I received a message 'pending approval', I'd have thought it was a matter of someone reviewing the post and approving it.

    However my post disappears from the thread before that popup appears.

    That's message is obviously a lie that is told to spammers.
  • Sounds like Mr. Period needs to have a word with SpamBot?
  • I do not post spam. The spam filter is incorrect.

    "ldsifgbdslfgkjasdgj" constitutes as spam

    "buy your Viagra here link" constitutes as spam

    "wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 1000th post" constitutes as spam

    This is not what I post.

    "Hey, here's something relevant to look at link" - not spam

    Ok, so go get a job at Vanilla and rewrite their spam filter. What do you expect me to do about it?
  • I expect you to get a job at Vanilla and rewrite the spam filter.
  • All communications on the Internet are spam unless they prove otherwise. This includes "Hey, here's something relevant to look at link"

    They're in Canada, so no.
