Thanks! Yes, this is possible, as we only first noticed it later (plus going by the last edited timestamps).

Have a quick question regarding PNGs. I searched the thread and read that PNGs get converted to JPEGs in order to get watermarked, this defeats the purpose of a PNG i.e. to preserve transparency. Is it not possible to watermark PNGs? Was working on a review and could really use the transparency of PNGs.

I get what you're saying, but why do you need transparency?

Just for ascetic purposes, some of the images would look better without any background color.

In the search interface, there is an option to "Search Titles Only". Can we disable the search term highlighting in posts, when this option is selected?

But it also depends on the theme chosen by the user. The same picture may not look great in a different page background colour.

I would suggest including "I use low-beam" as one of the stickers if a new design is being introduced.

How about a feature where the site forces a pop-up prompting that there are unsaved changes and if you'd like to stay or quit when you try to close the tab and have text in the reply box? This helps if you've typed something and mistakenly end up closing the tab. It's being used on FB and quite a few other sites.

The empty part of the image will always take the color of the of the background because PNGs don't have a background color.

Thanks, this issue has been resolved now for me. Kaspersky didn't show a warning when I opened the forum right now.

I think the courier guys botched up my team bhp sticker set delivery. Was preparing the whole night on the ways that the stickers would go on my car, had woken up early too, but alas. The fedex site says delivered but with no other information as to where or to whom it was done. Have called the customer care to notify about the problem and was asked to wait for 2 days before they can respond. Checked with my neighbors, the watchman etc. to no avail, sigh.

Was wondering if anyone else has faced the same problem.

Got an update that the delivery has happened today, will be relieved once I get my hands on it. Guy who called says he doesn't know how the status was updated yesterday, he got the package this morning for delivery (sic) maybe a hand-off is happening between FedEx and some other vendor?

Happened to me twice on both the FedEx deliveries I had with FedEx the recent one being for T-BHP keychain. It was just 4kms away from my house but was not delivered even after reaching the office. It was updated as delivered and I received it after 2days. FedEx uses 3rd party for deliveries in areas that their main office cannot cover.

From yesterday, i quite often see the backend fetch failed error and post which the site itself is very slow, be it the loading time or submitting replies.

Am i the only one facing this issue?
