For example, my article appeared in The Hindu today, so made me curious to see if we have some common thread.

Paid wall or something. Can barely get two lines read before an ad pops up. I'm not published :) but wanted to get a read in of what you wrote.

No, we don't allow it. That would result in members using the forum to generate traffic for their content elsewhere, even to their personal blogs.

If you want to share your ideas, post it here directly.

Kindly fix this bug.

Another odd behaviour I saw has to do with number of posts on the right of a user profile link. Many times, a person’s total posts is shown as 0 while I am reading a response by the same person on a thread.

I've too faced this issue where the number of posts counter does not increase with subsequent posts. Can moderators shed some light on how does it work?

3 Reasons:
1) Not all sections are counted towards post counts (as already mentioned above)
2) "Posts" in some "hidden" sections also count (eg. as mentioned - reported posts)
3) Post counting isn't 100% real-time, it runs on interval

I could see this behaviour consistently for the last few days. But right now, I logged in to TBHP little early than usual and it looks good. The new threads are there from my last login, as it should be.

Does any maintenance routines in the wee hours of IST, manipulate this data?

Daily backup is 4AM IST, but that shouldn't affect this.

I'm guessing this would be something to do with cookies on your local system... so need to think about what might be affecting that? (eg. clearing your browsing data, etc)

I think the best thing to do would be to get a browser extension (or use an existing browser feature) to handle this offline reading.

If you use Mobile Chrome, you might have missed the download icon in the fly-out menu, right next to refresh. Just tap that. Then the page is visible for Offline viewing in your Downloads list. Simple. :)

Just change the y to a capital Y:

Arrgh... something has changed on Google's side of things a few weeks ago that's causing this.

We've noticed the errant ads usually link to the play store.

I've been unable to replicate this in order to analyze it.

Have put in a quick-fix 2 days ago that will hide the "overflow".

Can we reduce to opacity of the Team-bhp logo that is automatically added to the pictures posted please?

I manually increase the canvas size at the bottom so that the logo does not hide anything. :)

This is a real bother in some cases.

Was not expecting that lol: sometimes I forget the mods' lighter side.

Thanks for the tip :thumbs up

I leave a little blank space that the bottom of the content in the image so that the watermark does not hide anything.

Found couple of broken links at the bottom of classifieds page. Probably similar issue exists in other footers as well.

About us and Car Reviews are leading to 404 ("Looks like you’ve reached a dead end.")

Unfortunately there's some complications with this... Will see if there are any other workarounds (other than the current manual one, required on some spreadsheet/text screenshots etc).

Your review has also been included here. Thank you so much for sharing :thumbs up.

More of a question, what’s the stand on use of non-forum (more contemporary) smileys? I see a lot of posts with non-forum smileys, but don’t report if the count is 2 or less. However, saw a post this morning which was edited to remove such smileys.

Rule 8 needs an update to include which smiley is allowed, in addition to how many are allowed, if the non-forum smileys are being edited out.

We have such a poor selection of smileys, I'm not surprised people use ones from outside.

We don't even have a namaste. And I have been crying out for an I'm-stupid for years! rl:

You mean this one stupid:

It’s still there. Just that it isn’t in the list. I do agree the older smileys from the vBulletin based ones were much pleasant.

Wow. Is there a listing of the available-not-shown smilies?
