Works for me, having unexpected videos start blaring is a step back to the 00’s… I’ve only seen it twice so it’s not like it is being used a lot.
I already killed it earlier this afternoon after it annoyed me one too many times.
Can we make the likes infinite? I used up mine in the movie thread last night and now it makes me want to rage every time I try to like a post
Jeez, I’ve already increased it twice, and you’re at TL3 so you get a double allowance too. That’s 200 likes a day. You think these things grow on trees? Back in the old country we didn’t have any likes at all. We had to make a full reply and type 
manually.
I was on Wire’s side but 200 a day? Raise your standards!
I have Ins0 on ignore but (some of) his posts are still displayed for me. I prefer not to see them.

Now for the moment of truth… did it work?
Usually it’s a combination of your phone being lazy and the internet trying to protect your privacy.
Lazy phone doesn’t want to actually rotate the image because this requires processing power, so it adds a a tag saying “rotate me” instead.
However, these tags (exif) often contain lots of personal and potentially sensitive data, sometimes even including the exact gps coordinates where the pic was taken. So most modern software (like Discourse) strips those tags on upload.
Figure out which orientation your phone considers to be the default and only take pics that way, or find a way to edit your photos.

Has the way to do this changed? I don’t have that circle by the “New Post” button. Thanks.
There should be a little alarm bell in that same location now for both mobile and desktop. You need to be in the category you want to track for it to appear, like here: Politics & News - Unstuck Politics Forum
It won’t show up on the front page of the forum.
Thanks - I think I’m confused on how the categories watch. For instance, in the politics category, I’m “Watching” which I think should show me the bubbles with new posts. However, I only have these bubbles for some threads.
Thanks - I’ll try that.
Dumb question that may have already been answered here, but I couldn’t find it.
How do you make text another color?
It requires a plugin. We had one for awhile but removed it for reasons that didn’t have anything to do with colored text. I’m kind of ambivalent about enabling it again, but would do so if people really want it.
Okay, thanks.
It’s not a big deal for me. Just couldn’t figure out how to do it and it was bugging me.
Another dumb low-priority question from me.
It seems like the “spiffy box” (or whatever it’s called) feature (the one that automatically grabs an image and text blurb from a pasted link and formats them into a nice little box in one’s post) doesn’t work for Seattle Times links anymore?
I swear it used to but now it just spins for a while and gives up, leaving just the link:
I’m guessing this is something that they (Seattle Times) changed/messed up, but on the off chance there’s a configuration fix on this end, maybe it’s worth looking at, in case it affects more sites than just my provincial rag?
Yeah, for whatever reason some publishers decide that if you ask for their Open Graph tags too many times you are obviously a nefarious website that wants to link to them with attractive, compelling and informative information. Obviously this can’t be allowed, because it’s way better to not have your site appear to be worth visiting.
