I’d like to share a few minor quality of life changes to the forum that have been made over the last few weeks. The registration agreement, which is a set of conditions of use you agree to when creating an account, has had the forum rules added to it. So far we have operated under an implicit agreem...

How do I change the forum theme/style? To change the forum theme you must be logged in. Once logged in, go to the top left corner, click on your username, and select “User Control Panel”. https://i.imgur.com/2uX5qQ9.jpg Select “Board preferences” from the tabs at the top, locate the dropdown menu “...

For anyone interested in the Dan and Phil watch parties, there's a brand new subforum over here just for that. From the homepage, you'll find it at the bottom of the Dan and Phil category.

Okay, there's a watch party subforum now, and the two existing threads have been moved here. If you need any instruction/guideline threads stickied, just post it and report the thread asking for it to be stickied in the "further information" section.

I'm happy to create a subforum for threads relating to watch parties - this would help prevent threads being buried in the D&P subforum, and would mean people would have a more direct link to share elsewhere. Just let me know if the general consensus is a yes and I'll sort it out as soon as I can.

Still have to make the header logo clickable, and just as I'm writing this post I've realised the text editor needs to be switched to a non-bold font. Should have these done soon. Sorted now. Can't see any bugs, but if anything comes up please let me know. Thanks to rizzo for helping me out too, es...

Love Phil in eye make up. Love the sweater. And I love the halloween header, yay In depth spooks! :skeleton: I have to admit that the halloween header is something I was just testing, and since there's only seven people {including me} that still use the original danisnotonfire dark forum theme I th...

How do I embed images from my Google Drive account? If you would like to embed an image from your Google Drive account, please follow these instructions: Upload the image to your Google Drive Right click on the uploaded image Click "Get shareable link" Paste the link between "img&quo...

I just realized Dan and Phil's conjoined sweater from last year's Halloween baking is made of the ones they wore in the October calendar shoot. I'll see my way out now, but on that note, for those already in an appropriate timezone... :pumpkinphil: :skeleton: Happy Spooky Week Month! :skeleton: :pu...

These spammers are the worst, the plague of every forum tbh. When I had my own forum we had so many of them we had to enable manually adding new users, because we had pages upon pages of spam (luckily I don't see this happening on IDB, I literally mean we had like 5 pages of spam every morning) I r...

sup

Happy birthday, IDB.

The excellent alittledizzy is now one of our administrators - no longer left to deal with the mundane and routine jobs of dealing with post reports and fixing typos, she now has the wonderful job of fiddling with the ranks and changing usernames. We’ve told her that she should only change usernames ...

Okay, we've lost the handful of posts made over the last half an hour or so, but restored the posts from the previous few hours that were lost. Apologies to those who had posted in the last half hour.

Moderating

I'm happy for the discussion about Dan and Phil and racism to continue for now, but please remember that this forum is not the place to continue personal drama that started elsewhere. This goes for everybody.

We're looking into this at the moment, and hope to have some answers soon. Thanks for letting us know.

Not any more.

We’ve removed the off topic tags. We’ve thought about this for a while, and we feel that since the proper usage of the tags was not clear to every poster, and with the tags owing their existence to nothing more than “that’s just the way it is”, their removal will be an overall improvement to the boa...

We've seen an increase in the amount of spam accounts registering lately, and as a result we've had to implement more aggressive processes to ban them before they have a chance to post. Unfortunately, this can throw up false positives and automatically ban a legitimate user attempting to register. I...

Yeah, a couple of the FAQ pages have issues like that. Going through and updating each page is on our to do list, but we've not gotten to it yet.

If someone would be kind enough to post instructions for uploading an avatar, or pm them to an old, non-computer-literate person, I'd appreciate it.

I have one question that I hope is of general interest: will our avatars get restored as part of the themes? No rush, but I perhaps miss them more than the emoji--they make it so much easier to track the conversation! I'm afraid not, they're something that can't be transferred with the type of tran...
