Tyranicus

Congratulations, Aran!

 

Irrelevant side note to Slarty's quoted community chart above: Pretty certain I was active in Shadow Vale since early 2007 when Polaris imploded.

Yeah. Also, Smoo only ever posted scenario reviews and announcements, and Nico didn't join SV until not long before it was closed. I talked to Slarty about that, and he said the group was not based entirely on who was active on SV but on social cliques and whether or not someone fit better in another group.

Not everyone reads signatures, though. (And a few people have signatures turned off entirely.)

 

Dikiyoba.

If someone chooses to hide signatures, and they cannot recognize another member who has a distinctive signature, I'm inclined to say that is their own fault.

Vintage lacks the "View New Content" button and is therefore dead to me.

gee i wonder how many other threads will be tagged sneezing baby panda

You never know with this place.

Also, UBB's design is plain, simple and easy to understand. BMA even told me that it takes forever to load these boards, although, there is a mobile version of it, but I can't find the login.

If you hit the little blue button with four white squares in the upper right, it will give you several options, including a sign in option.

There are better baby panda videos.

 

WinXP will no longer be supported with any sort of updates as of April 2014, I believe. Then comes more malware.

FYT

I believe not supporting old things is Apple's go-to method.

 

Meanwhile, my third-gen iPod Touch isn't getting updates anymore, and no user of a modern Mac can play BoE without emulation. Hmm.

You are not wrong, but, to be fair, BoE would not run on modern 64-bit Windows until the community updated it after it went open-source.

Microsoft makes money forcing customers to buy new OS by no longer supporting the older ones.

Untrue. The average consumer will never upgrade the OS on their computer before they buy a new one. Microsoft still releases security patches for Windows XP, and that came out 11 years ago.

Harehunter, "Lepus non Grata" is not grammatically correct. You are using a feminine adjective to describe a masculine noun. The proper form would be "Lepus non Gratus."

For what it's worth, IPB allows login names to be changed from the admin panel, so global mods and admins can change these on request. You would of course have to verify you are who you say you are first.

 

Ms. Petraco would be so proud.

Tyran diagrammed the sentence. He wins.

Now that you've said that, I actually have to draw and upload a diagram, don't I?

"Mark" is an action verb with an understood you for the subject. "Community" is a direct object signifying what is being marked. (Invision calls forums "communities" for some reason.) "Read" is an adjective modifying "community;" in this case it is showing in what way the community is marked.

I'm not saying it doesn't sound awkward, but it is a legitimate, grammatically correct sentence.

Next to the "change theme" pseudo-button, there are other links to "Mark Community Read" and "Help". Help sounds useful but I struggle to parse the midde link in any meaningful way.

"Mark Community Read" will mark every post in every topic as read.

This is my original PDN, but I did change it for a few days ("Timshel"). I don't think anyone noticed.

Actually, I do remember that.

I've been running the previews on my Windows drive, which I only boot into when I want to play a game, for about a year now. I would have to give it a resounding "meh."

This is what happens when people do not see that a topic extends to a second page.

if there's option to change theme then I can't find it.

Scroll down to the very bottom of the page, and click "Change Theme" in the lower left corner.

/me wonders which forum Avernum remakes will be merged

They will most likely get their own separate forum.

Wow, board migrations really do bring everyone out of the woodwork. Hello, TGM.

 

Alec, Djur, and Scorpius are going to show up any day now.

 

I worried that I might be overusing this image. Then I realized that I wasn't overusing this nearly as much as y'all are overusing puns.

Don't forget the mod board. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Nice one. Harehunter, you have competition. :3

Can it really be called competition when one is funny and the other is not?
