I know it’s there for accessibility reasons, to find the cursor, but it’s freaking me out.

Next you will ask to ban yourself geeze!

Or block himself.

@Tez said:

Check to see if you can block banned people now pls.

Yay, thanks. And the menu too!

Can block banned users, still can’t block administrators or global moderators plz fix.

@Pavel said:

One can still block people, thankfully.

How? I do not see a BLOCK button on either the post or on their profile.

ETA: I think if they’re banned the block button doesn’t show up. I don’t see it on troll’s profile menu, but I do see it on other peoples’.

@tez Didn’t there used to be a button to hide all posts from a particular user? I was looking for it for the recent troll and I can’t find it now. (maybe I’m remembering this from another forum though and it was never here…)

I think blocking them does that, but it doesn’t prevent them from seeing your posts, which would be more useful tbh.

At least if you block them you can’t see their replies… until someone quotes them, alas.

I CAN’T EDIT MY OWN POSTS (SCREECH)

That’s been that way for awhile for me. I found a workaround by shrinking the browser width. It moves things around enough that the edit button becomes clickable. If it can be fixed for real, that would be wonderful.

Let me know what broke.

I wouldn’t call this broke so much as “idk if I/dvor need to change a setting somewhere”. It might also be a Chrome-specific thing with their vertical tabs update (ETA - it is) that I’ve started using, but:

I CAN’T EDIT MY OWN POSTS (SCREECH)

The ^^ vv prompt in the bottom right COVERS IT UP for bigger threads/topics.
(Because you can see I edited this one fine since it says “5 out of 5” which takes up less screen space.)

This is me putting you on notice that it might happen one day, or never.

Am I even real, you guys?

Y’all also look to have a couple of weird bots in the user list that I went ahead and reported. But I dunno, maybe someone actually does want to buy the best hair transplants in Pakistan from really real actual human Zoey Draven.

@Tez Nothing seems broken, but we once again have some truly spectacular bots in the user list. My current favorite is “Wilford Overby #9”, which is clearly such a common name that we must have multiples of them here. The online casino with a profile page that’s written entirely in Filipino has a fun banner, though, so that’s a nice touch.

Sadly, the forum would only let me report a few of them before it decided that I must be the actual bot. Am I even real, you guys?
