@User - How about you stop calling someone a pedophile over a badly worded statement. @phoenyx75 - How about you ignore someone who calls you a name.

Try rotating your phone to landscape, rather than portrait, and the quote button should appear.

Fixed For some reason signatures were turned off for Guests (those not registered or members not logged in).

Hmm, I can see my own signature... Is anyone else having this issue? Have you tried rebooting your machine, viewing the site on your phone, etc?

Is this not your sig?

Agreed - @paradox34, try harder at posting something actually unique.

I suspect the problem is that you're still in the moderation queue, and the auto moderation (due to certain words being used) cause a conflict with moderation queue. I'm afraid there is no auto draft option - so your long lengthy post is likely gone. Seeing that you are not a spammer, I've elevated your account to full member status, so you'll no longer be subjected to the moderation queue. That should solve your problem. Thanks

You mean no one has commented on your new forum thread? Send me a link to the thread below.

You're approved now! Sorry for the delay, things got away on me.

@Gaétan The thread title is poorly constructed. If you want people to actually contribute to your threads, you need to provide more context than two words. Also, a two sentence post isn't going to attract much either - so I would edit this thread/post and provide more context.

Couple of options: Go here: https://repolitics.com/forums/settings/links The next option is to click the blue dot next to the thread title - it'll take you to the first unread post. I hope this helps!

ya, right. This place is the absolute worst... 🙄 Seriously, you've been here a few weeks and you suddenly have everything figured out?

I can actually specific if the "bad word" is "blanked out" with **** or whether the word stops the post completely (and you're asked to edit) - depending on the word. I still need to update all the words to be blanked out, rather than restricting the act of posting. But again, I recognize the members can still make adjustments to the word, getting creative with symbols and characters - but that's life.

Not any more. It's a long story, but recently myself, and the operations have moved to the United States. The forum software is also American... so you're going to get a few Americanized things around here. However, the forum still skews Canada in membership and engagement, but that is decreasing with time. Users by county, over the past 28 days: You can ignore the Singapore metric, as that was mostly bot traffic, that I've had to filter out (to minimize server stress).

OK, if you see this happening again, or anyone else does, please post in the support section of the forums. I have an update to made to the forum software, maybe it was a bug that will be fixed in this new version. I'll also modify how the word filter works, which should stop the restriction of the posting.

@admined, I apologize for the delay on approving your posts. I will go ahead and elevate your account to full membership, your posts won't be held in a queue any longer. Normally, I approve posts once or twice a day - but I must have missed yours this week. Thanks for your patience!

@herbie Whenever you're using a WYSIWYG editor, you're gonna get wonkiness from time to time. The best feature in the editor to use is the Remove Format button - which will remove any HTML/CSS styling and force the text back to basic plain text. Post merging is set to 2 minutes. See below:

This is the first I've heard of this issue... Do you have a screenshot. Do you know what word was causing this issue?

Gas indeed...

Ha, true, true. That's on me, 100%. I got up this morning, and I was "THIS IS GETTING DONE TODAY!" and I never looked back. I'm sorry you lost whatever post you were working on. Normally I give plenty of notice, but I was really frustrated by the issues over the past month, and today was the first day back after Christmas, and I was eager to put all of this behind us! Thanks again for having patience!

New VPS has been brought online! A site is very fast now. If you encounter any issues, please post a note and I'll address.

Upgrade complete! If you encounter any issues, post a new note in the support section.

It isn’t your fault, it’s mine. i waited to long to upgrade and this is the result. It will be fixed shortly, thanks got your patience.

A slight update, it look like the site is being hit hard by bots... I've activated Under Attack mode in Cloudflare - so each new session (each time you visit the site), you'll be put through a Cloudflare JS challenge. That's a temporary fix... once we upgrade, this will be removed.
