Is there any way to tell if a member is perma-banned as opposed to regular bans that expire? I believe before the big forum upgrade one's avatar would go away if it was permanent but stay if regular.

I don't believe so.

As said above, although I think you just did that anyways.

I leave my profile fully open so that I can check if I get VMs and stuff while I am offline. Now when I try to do so I get the "You aren't logged in or you don't have permission......" page. I can't look at anyone's profile while offline now. Did something happen?

Yeah the permissions were changed (not sure if temporarily or permanently though) as there was a problem with what guests/those not logged in could see on the activity streams of staff profiles.

I see. I noticed I could see what they posted on the private forums where people challenge bans and post private questions. Totally not lurking at all, nope >.>

[bobandbill]

Then you should have let one of us know about it given there has been numerous attempts to fix that problem. =|

But yes, there you go as to why you can't see stuff when not logged in now.

This is probably a stupid question, but if someone has something offensive in their sig/user title/something you can't report, how would you report them? Would you PM a mod about it?

Yeah I think PMing a mod would be your best bet. In the Sig Check thread, Nutter.tk says you're free to PM him regarding signatures which break the rules, and I'd imagine signatures/other things with offensive content would fall under the same category.

How do you change your profile pic?

[flamebeam]

i actually know this one!

•click "settings" on the top right corner of the website page
•you'll see a column of options on the left. you'll see the titles "my messages", "my subscriptions", and "my settings".
•under "my settings", you'll see the option "EDIT AVATAR". i think you meant to ask how to change your avatar since you don't even have a profile picture
•eat a cookie

Private messages and new threads aren't sending for me. I can reply to threads just fine but it won't work if I send a message or start a new thread. What's up?
