This is already in off-topic, because last time this thread was posted it drifted very quickly. If this starts to go the same way it will be locked.

My avatar has changed of its own accord, from the Calvin&Hobbes I chose to Alonso's helmet. 8O Now, I know I am an Alonso supporter, and most of you guys know that I am an Alonso supporter - but it gets a bit scary, "2001 Space Odyssey" style, when the forum itself knows too!!! Please tell me that ...

Moved to off-topic as the conversation has drifted, and it was only loosely on topic anyway.

There's a seperate sticky thread about that. We are trying to sort it.

Any update on the much needed changes? Here's what (from memory) needs doing: 1. Fonts need making bigger on the header, breadcrumbs and other areas as they are way to small. 2. Minor styling issues - e.g red text doesnt work well on the grey bg, the post bg isnt too nice either and it should reall...

We cannot reset post counts!!

Nor is there anyone hiding under our desks - mine's got too many boxes under it for anyone to fit in

One vote for yellow now!

Hmm, careful with comments like that, we don't appreciate trolling here.

It's the off-season, and combine that with the many teething problems this forum had [and indeed still has] and people are giving it a wide berth for a while.

On the bright side, that gives us less actual moderation to do, so it's all sort of swings and roundabouts really

Sorry, I meant to create this a week ago but various problems happened and I sort of forgot. I'll sticky this one for you now.

Meaning you get lumbered with all the work, for which I have to apologise!

In an effort to prevent trolls or spammers posting on this forum, your first post will need moderator approval and you may not access the private messaging function or start a new topic until account approval has been given by a senior moderator.

May have just a little bit lost my temper with the techies... THIS is why we are trying to get the registration system sorted. My apologies to you all, we expected teething problems but nothing like this.

Despite the moaning this is my fave F1 formum and i really hope its all good very soon. If you could sort out the speed issues , especially scrolling, i could cope with the other stuff Cheers Scrolling seems OK from where I'm sat, and that's on two different browsers simiultaneously. Even the usual...

Just my luck. I didn't know Eurytus got banned, I JUST found his signature cool. :blush: And I doubt he'd be stupid enough to try and come back with his obvious signature, mods. I don't even known where the drafts went which I wrote earlier! :blush: We doubted he would be that stupid too, but bette...

After further use i have to concede i was wrong in 1st impression , The new forum software is rubbish afterall. glitchy , slow scrolll, have turned off sigs ( way too annoying and break up reading 'flow' across mutiple post), slow - very very very slow compared to the other 8-10 forums i vist in a ...

I know that you are very busy sorting everything out and that is probably the reason you didn't acknowledge it, but I just wanted to check that before the techies go that you got my message about the spoiler tags not working.

Sorry, I did indeed miss that

I'll alert techies now.

I'll lock it but leave the thread here because a few people have asked the same question.

Quick question - are all posts manually approved, I'm just wondering as my last couple have had to be approved by Mods yet I swear my first couple did not? All posts have been approved by me - it's quicker to let everything in and let members report posts than reading individual posts. Lazy I know,...

I'm sure there's a rule banning pornography...

[edited cos even mods can't get away with spelling wink 'winl']

I moderate a forum of seventeen thousand members, and you're telling me you have authority?

Wait... what do you mean I'm getting a 3-race ban?!

350 THOUSAND??? Nice... PF1, I want a pay rise!!

Oh, and I promise not to behave like that.

Not for members who abandoned us for two years

I'm trying to work out if we can fit 'flirting with the mods' into the list of things members can't do...

Seriously though, I'm not telling you either way. What I CAN tell you is that the team is as close to a fifty-fifty split of male and female mods as a team of seven can get.

OK. Why do you want me to be a woman.

Anyone recognize the poster's name? I notice he's shown as only joining the site today. I want to be sure this is not a spam, phishing or malware-spreading site.

No but he's being banned

I managed to close out a new contract for Peru. In between I had a nap. @Pf1mod. You are woman :?: :] Wht makes you so sure of that? I presume the 'very nice man to fix it' thing? Think about it. Either I knew someone would see that and assume I'm a woman, so as a man I decided it was the perfect d...

I assume you are aware that its possible to have a rule saying 'No signature higher than XYZ'. That would solve the issue. Every forum does this. I suggest PF1 mods get on TheAdminZone.com and read up :) Also, if you dont want to see signatures, you can hide them in your profile settings area. http...

As many others have suggested, please ditch the signature pics and go to (limited) avatars instead. Aside from the distraction and interruption of the thread flow, the bandwidth issue is major. Please consult with your IT people. Some of the signatures are already up to 1 meg in size! Also you shou...

Broke everything, then got a very nice man to fix it.

More specifically, it was fine til I tried to improve it

AnonimNo.513 wrote:hi.
why all of my post have to be first approved by moderator, before it will appear on the forum?
and why can't i make new threads?

It's a setting we are trying to fix, but it requires six servers being simultaneously changed and I have access to none of them.

Do you know what would be better (IMO)? Instead of these pictoral userbars now appearing below people's posts where just their signatures should be and which I for one find a distraction, how about we are allowed little square avatars to the left of the our posts, just below the user info? Mods? Wh...

I was looking at the list of people who were online and saw Google [Bot] online. Are we going to have a bunch of bots joining us soon? Just thought i'd point it out. Doesn't bother me in the least.. Hopefully not, but there's always a chance for spammers to get to the forum, but they'll never last ...

Sorry if this breaks the rules in itself

See the thread in off topic asking the same question

This suggestion didn't have to go here - it's what the feedback thread is for. Also, the 2 forums thing is something that has continued from the old format, and it makes things a lot easier for us because far fewer topics end up in the wrong sections. Some of you would be amazed how many times on ot...

Merge button appears not to exist, so I'm afraid the shorter thread is being locked. Sorry!

Glitch, we're working on that.

Well, I say 'glitch' - I was experimenting with settings and broke it. The techies are fixing it for me and I'm going nowhere near pretty buttons again.

I'm DOLOMITE, this is my new account. I hope you people remember me. :D Ah, what the hell. I'm kidding. Long time lurker, now member. :-P Wasn't this Eurytus's little tag beside his username on the old forum...? It was indeed. For reasons that may therefore be entirely unfair on this member, I'm ke...

I think the OP wanted to know if Eurytus has been banned, and PF1-Mod has answered the question. I don't think it is fair to pile it on when he has no way of fighting back. Please don't think I am one of his minions/friends/apologist or what have you, I just don't find it kosher to beat up on him, ...
