Title: Bitc h about this site
Post by: Calandale on July 14, 2014, 11:15:16 pm
Werd filter pisses me off.

The captcha for signing up - got an email from someone else who had a hard time with it
Can't turn it off or reconfigure it. I had to use the audio captcha to get through it.

The site admin sucks.

Having to post before uploading or linking an avatar is sucky. Not knowing that until _after_ typing everything out is worse.

+1 for word filters pissing people off.

On the positive side, I really like the "Show unread posts since last visit." feature. I use it all the time!

Anyway to change the theme/color scheme? Too much white....

Yes. I think they can even be individually tailored.

I'm a big fan of white.

My poor eyes....

Anyway there are two options: The Board Default and the Site Default. Right now, both are the same.

Also, I hate those ads in the middle of the threads.

I've got adblock up. Forgot about those things.

Well, now I've screwd the style up, and dunno how to get it back.
Thought it could offer more options.

I like it.


You can change back to the original by using the SMF Default Theme - Core option.


EDIT: This ones pretty nice too.

That wasn't working, I think.

Well, that was a waste of time.

Ok - nice thing about SMF that I like:

quotes are directly linked to what they are quoted from if you generate them
with the 'Reply' option. This can be really helpful in navigating long threads.
It can also help if you use such quotes to launch new discussions in fresh
threads, in order to discover the context.

Those captchas are really bad, but at least we don't have to use them every time we post. Another group I'm with makes you use the captchas each time you post a message. I don't post too much there.

I couldn't be here if that was the case.

I fail most things that are intended to screen out automated posts. :(

This annoys me because of my CDO, but it doesn't automatically put a line return when you quote someone. BGG does auto-insert a return after a quote, so I either end up with an extra line break there or no line break at all here.

F me.

You have an obsession about compulsive disorders?

CDO is "OCD", but with the letters properly alphabetized.

Works better for acronyms.

I wonder how big the spammer badges get.

I've got the 100 one - 1000 posts in one day would be a record for me.
I think I've broken 500, in my prime.

Werd filter ****es me off.
Word filter is a little annoying.
Does the "leave words uncensored" in profile settings do anything?  I check marked it, but still see asterisks.

Nothing can be done about the filter with this free site.

There are a lot of such options in the interface that don't actually work.
The admin panel is far worse in this way.

SMF itself is quite good though.
