fishmech posted:Not always. Mine doesn't. If you've ever used it without putting in your PIN, then it does. The card readers in stores usually default to debit if you don't choose, though; that way stores save money because they don't have to pay credit card fees. Try hitting cancel next time the card reader asks for your PIN. As a drive-through cashier, I run all cards through as credit unless asked, and 99.99% of them work as credit, logo or no. Even the "Farmer's Bank of Bumfuck, Kansas" ones.

fishmech posted:Not always. Mine doesn't. It's supposed to, because that's the whole reason that credit card companies started issuing debit cards in the first place, so that your ATM card would work in places that weren't set up for direct debit transactions. Lots of places can do either so it doesn't really matter now, but if the card says Visa on it then it should be ok to use even somewhere that still does carbon impressions for credit cards. withak fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Oct 1, 2006 |

My system's also rock-stable, so I doubt there's any driver bugginess. I'll test on another computer when I am at uni, and see if it's limited to my computer or my account (if the latter, then I'm absolutely baffled).

Is there a place where I can look up all of the different emoticons and what letters I need to use to post them?

No big drama, I guess he just got burned out on it.

baldurk posted:As far as I know, waffleimages blocks by referrers - only blank, and SA referrers will be allowed. Some firewalls block referrers completely, ie they're missing, which waffleimages doesn't allow. Check your settings for that. It's OK if the header is missing, but it'll deny if the referer is XXX or LOLDENIED or something like that.

Go to the control panel and change your user settings (using "edit options") back to whatever they were. It is an unintended byproduct of some other software changes.

Sounds to me like you have your browser set to clear some/all of your cookies, or just to not set them in the first place. Firefox: Tools>Options>Privacy>Cookies IE: Tools>Internet Options>Privacy Any other browser: Hell if I know. Should be pretty similar to those. Play around with those options for a bit and see if that helps.

Liface posted:What is the status on Post Your Favorite? I've seen a couple threads in GBS recently that were just low-content crap that used to be posted in PYF, but they never got moved. PYF is still full of the same low-content crap (I should know, I tend to reply to something there every couple of days). I have noticed that the PYF threads in GBS tend to be defended by their creator with "What? But I made this post your favourite Flash Game/Song/Sleeping Aid/Coffee thread, so it's obviously got much wider appeal that something started by one of those PYF losers". So, PYF is as alive and well as it ever was; but as PYF was created to make a home for those very threads I for one would welcome them being confined to there rather than diluting the usually high quality of GBS.

You're looking in the wrong place. When Radium made some changes/updates to the forums last week, he had a sticky note in every forum, telling people to check their settings because some of them didn't remain how you'd set them. Go to User Control Panel, click on Edit Options, scroll to "Hide smilie images in posts?" and set it to no, which will enable smilies.

These guys are right, BaseballChica. A lot of people had smilies turned "off" when radium did some tinkering. Even if you don't really notice any differences I'd still advise people to check their forum options to make sure things are intact. I had my PMs turn off on me twice during that time and didn't realize it the second time for a while!

Who changed the font on BYOB? This may have been answered there but things are moving fast and I think shividas got a bit tired of threads about it =P I'm just curious what prompted the change and if it's ever going to revert.

Why does homophobia get a free pass on the forums? I see people getting banned for racist or misogynistic comments alot, which is good. But there seems to be a lot of homophobic talk that gets ignored -- "emo fag," "fag up the thread," etc. Why is this? I've really liked the forums in the short time I've been a member here, but this is something that's sat uneasily with me.

I've really liked the forums in the short time I've been a member here, but this is something that's sat uneasily with me. "Fag" is considered less of a homophobic term and more of a generic insult, due to overuse. At least that's my take on it.

m2pt5 posted:"Fag" is considered less of a homophobic term and more of a generic insult, due to overuse. Kind of. I realize that's unfair. When there's someone who is posting some more "serious" (I realize that's in the eye of the beholder) homophobic poo poo we try to go after them. If you think that the way in which it's being used it something that's pretty offensive, report it and we'll try to go from there. We certainly don't think homophobia is less worthy of punishment than racism or sexism. I don't think we'd punish for saying "emo fag" unless someone was flaming another user for no reason but there are other instances where it may be probationable. Personally I don't like it either when someone relies upon it as an insult for someone else but we haven't really punished a heck of a lot for that in particular yet.

Just as a follow up on this, see this thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=315975275 Clearly the OP has edited over five hours after making the first post, yet no italic text. has anyone actually seen the edit text on a recent post, and can link me to it? I probably sound like I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I'm just curious. EDIT-Appears this is a SALR "Feature" if you tell it to disable user signatures.
