Technical Issues - TPU Main Site & Forum (2021)

^^Definitely this. A former frequent troublemaker here once had someone on ignore (because he always felt it was .

Thats more of a block feature, not an ignore feature.

As others said, you kinda need to know they've been quoted or threads you're in would make no sense

^^Definitely this. A former frequent troublemaker here once had someone on ignore (because he always felt it was “everybody else” and never him) and that person replied to him. I replied to the person he ignored to point out they were wrong and the troublemaker went off on me, because he couldn’t see the ignored person. It took several people to deduce that he attacked me bwcause he thought I made a reply to him when it was actually to his ignored person.

TLDR: Too much ignoring ends up making chaos in the forums.

@rtwjunkie : I don't have anyone on ignore, so it definitely isn't that.

I had to stop ignoring people when I became a mod. It made me sad.

Instead you were give the power of the ban hammer, that's a good equivalent exchange

If this feature was a thing...

I moved all the nicehash discussion to a separate thread, keep discussing there please, your feedback and thoughts are appreciated

Nicehash Ad on TPU main site

No... i spent $950 on a GTX 1080, and now $2600 on my 3090. I totally saw the price hike and the low stock and dealt with it. I also am well aware that nicehash mining has NOTHING to do with these shortages, and that users mining at home has zero effect on stock levels... us gamers already HAVE...

appreciated. it's somehow a political topic now.

It's turned into a movement, although not all movements are good, especially as you get older .....

@W1zzard I think a dark mode for TPU would be great and I use it wherever I can. Since W10 does this natively now, is there an API that the forum could easily tap into to set dark mode as a preference?

So much this!! As someone prone to eyestrain, Dark Mode is like a blessing to my sensitive peepers. Please make it happen, TPU!

W1zz at this point should either code dark mode into the site or add a notice at the top of the site suggesting Dark Reader or some other plugin to that effect. This is like the fourth time it's been requested, this year lol

Though, I'm actually a bit surprised that XenForo doesn't come with some dark theme already... Then again, considering that it supports color text, it might be a pain to actually enable it, since there would have to be some care about how old posts and comments are handled. Imagine turning on the dark theme and then finding out that because the site saves the color config of each post (I don't know, but let's just suppose it's actually the case), old comments are barely readable because the site thinks they should be black, instead of some "whatever default color the theme mandates text should be", with a black background.

Then there are considerations on whether the servers would suffer any performance hit for this or whatever, since it would have to convert the format to adapt to dark mode on the fly

Of course, all that is just speculation on my part.

 

[Mussels]

I think the problem is all w1zzards custom tweaks to the forum code, he has to adapt the dark themes to those

Yes, its popular and often requested so he's probably considered it quite a few times... someone offer him a GPU as a bribe?

I'll give him a sailboat ride. Hope he doesnt get seasick.

I do :/ My wife does not, which makes for lots of lulz

 

[Mussels]

Sea blue theme with vomit chunks for text, coming right up

Is it something possible tho via xenforo?

XenForo is extremely flexible, almost everything can be done, given enough time and motivation

I got pills for that.

Okay so.

This actually had been a thing for a long time now, but I never really bothered enough to report it. Until now I guess.
The well problem: CPU/GPU databases are only partially / almost functional with javascript disabled.

Like, when I hit search it spews out this URL:

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?mfgr=AMD&released=&directx=&mobile=&workstation=&igp=&generation=&architecture=GCN+3.0&gpu=&ushaders=&tmus=&rops=&memtype=&memsize=&buswidth=&interface=&slots=&powerplugs=&tdp=&performance=&sort=name&q=

which in turn results into this neat little glitch

No graphics cards found. Please change your search criteria.

However if you manually trim down the fat, like this

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?mfgr=AMD&&architecture=GCN+3.0

it'll work just fine.

Seems like a bug / glitch / oversight in the code somewhere.

Idk if this belongs here
but i saw a necro in the top of the forums and commented telling the person he had created a necro
shortly after i got this

i dont undestand what it means is it somthing i have done?

 

[Ahhzz]

Nope, you just referenced a deleted post, so yours was removed to remove confusion

I also do not fully understand why his was removed ?
could you explain?

It means they posted content that's not allowed by forum rules. If it was a new user, it probably was commercial-related content.

 

[Mussels]

It says in the part you posted - he had spam links hidden inside his word "location" and you quoted it, so your post was deleted to remove the spam as well

I figured it was a great educational example - its a common trick the spambots use
