Rearranging stuffs and adding subforum icons. There's some stuff that's gonna be movin' around as well as some updates I'm working on. Also I'm trying to fix the low-res profile icons (we identified the problem; working on a solution).
Oh, yeah. You're kind of out of focus, too. I thought it was just my pic.

I'm confused as to how uploading a profile icon through the Arc page is supposed to fix things. Doing so just broke mine.

@pwlaughingtrendy Any idea why sometimes when I make a post and hit submit it comes up and tells me that my post will appear after it's been approved? Yet I can then make another post right away which appears without any issues...

Is profile pic our avatars? If so mine seems fine.
Yeah, but it's broken for others.

The hell...?
I wonder if this is the same thing that was affecting my friend I told you about last week. (Who is still having posting issues to the point of not being able to post at all.)
Oh...and am I understanding that there are instructions to fix broken avatars by now, or that it's still in the works?

Change your ARC Avatar.
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with the permissions. I'm wondering if there's an SSO problem. I sent off an email to the team about it.

Changed ARC avatar multiple times, no luck so far. I've got my ARC and forum avatars to where they are different from each other, and so far the ARC one hasn't overridden the forum avatar.

I tried changing browsers to see if I could get the ARC avatar to sync with the forum and still no luck. My forum profile pic is overriding the ARC one and leaving the blurry thing visible here.

I'm not sure what causes it. It's happened to me twice now though. Both times the post which was apparently awaiting approval has never actually appeared. The only common denominator that I can think of is that in both posts it's happened I've been trying to post two links in each of them, one to the embedded version of the forums and one to the non embedded version. Other that that tiny link, I have no clue haha.
This is faded as I didn't think to hit screencap very quickly, but this is the message which appears at the bottom left of the page when it occurs.

Oh hey, I can actually use the STO forums again. Yay!
Iconians...can you clue me in on what changed for you to be able to sign in?
I been in communications with "frtoaster" via ARC mail. He can sign into ARC (obviously, since he can ARC mail me) but can not connect to Vanilla Forums since the maintenance on August 26th. He is going in circles with PWE customer service, not really getting anywhere.
Is the problem he is having similar to the problems you were having? And what did you do to get "back in"?
I am sure frtoaster (and everyone else having similar problems posting) could use a hint.
Thanks.

This has also happened to me and it seems to be due to using a URL for something other than Youtube outside URL tags

So you're still around, and haven't suddenly un-rage-quitted? (or however you call the opposite of rage-quitting? Silently Quitting?)
I could connect to the forums, I could even read forum threads for the most part. But the forums had some kind of critical formatting issue for my Chrome browser sometime after August 20th. I could not scroll down threads. I could not sufficiently transfer to other pages in a thread. I could not post because I could not scroll down a thread in order to post. Forum names were glitched to hell with names sometimes bleeding over into the post or time/date stamp themselves. When I was finally able to post, I could not use the Edit button. Furthermore, I had regular issues with the forums hanging when trying to load a new thread, I had a crapton of redirect issues which eventually led to trying to click around in a loop, with a little bit of completely blank pages sprinkled on top for flavor.
This was also after I had whitelisted everything I could possibly whitelist with my anti-script add-ons and adblockers. So I was 90% sure it wasn't on my end. The changes apparently kept resetting the whitelist priviledges in Script Defender as well, as I noticed yesterday.
TL;DR the Vanilla Forums were so spectacularly full of formatting fail that I didn't even bother trying to put in a ticket and figured it'd get fixed when PWE was good and ready (kind of like waiting for ketchup to leave a glass bottle when it's upside down, sometimes you just have to wait it out).
This might come as a surprise to other people on the STO forums, but I do have a life outside of STO, so I was catching up with that, in addition to playing the game and playing some other games.
... and binge-watching Netflix. I knocked out all 7 Seasons of Sons of Anarchy in the span of a month.
I could connect to the forums, I could even read forum threads for the most part. But the forums had some kind of critical formatting issue for my Chrome browser sometime after August 20th.....
Wow. Totally different issues. LOL!
So, around the time PWE (or Vanilla) "fixed" the forums so I could finally sign in on my computer (with Chrome) and on my Chrome book (with Chromium), and staightened Vanilla out to work with ARC Defender..... They broke it for another group of people, which included you. And, it seems it was broken, again, with the August 26th "upgrade".
I wonder how much more needs to be "set up" or "re-set up", again.
Trendy....I do not envy you your job with this craziness.
Trying to decipher what happened while you were on vacation, too.
EEeeKkks! You have my sympathies....
Wish you the best of luck on your endeavors to bring this community (and this forum) back together.

The changes look great! Could you please also look into getting our forum titles back for Lifetime, Veteran, and the various pack purchases? I would really like to shed the arc user title and have my career officer title back.
I'm trying to see about that as well.
This is another feature that's overdue. Wouldn't have bothered me as much a couple months ago, but now that I've qualified under Vet Rewards for a custom one, I'd like to use it!
Also, here's another issue I have with this forum: the 'next page' buttons. Thank you immensely for including them at the bottom of the page; however, it's pointless at this point, since clicking 'next' just keeps you at the bottom of the page! Is there some way that we can have this kick you to the top again?
Oh, and while I've (hopefully) got your ear for a min: when clicking on a thread under these forums, it's always taking us to the 'latest post', regardless if we have viewed the post before or not. Rather annoying, if you're clicking on the post for the first time!

Never had those issues.... why? because they're apparently unique to Chrome users.
One more question: Test Forum folder.... still can not read it without signing in. Is this the way it is going to stay? Would it be possible to have Tribble Patch Notes moved, so we can at least read that?
Hmmm. Deal!
Thank you so much for this. It will be nice to see Tribble Patch notes when going mobile and/or connecting from unsafe hotspots.
Well, it's Monday, and it looks like changing my avatar on ARC has never affected my avatar on the forum. If you're able to see it, Trendy, I set my ARC avatar differently from my forum one to see what it would do, and the ARC one has not come over here.
Also, I tried to delete my forum avatar with the "Remove Picture" option, but it won't do it on Firefox, IE, or my phone. The forum avatar remains no matter what I do. I wonder if a moderator would have the ability to completely delete my avatar (rather than changing it)?

I've been exchanging some emails about it. There are some things I have been able to fix, but those that I couldn't I have escalated them.

Oh, yeah. You're kind of out of focus, too. I thought it was just my pic.
Thanks for the fix.
Truth is, I'm kind of excited to see what the badges turn out to be.
