Did a setting just change? My default on both my phone and tablet since yesterday is latest instead of categories?

Rocco over at 22 is having trouble getting to this site from work (even though 22 is allowed?).

This has been an issue for a couple people. If he can find out which filtering service his company uses we can try to file an appeal or something. Other than that there’s not much we can do about how some 3rd party decides to categorize the site, assuming we were even mis-categorized to begin with. Politics is considered a potentially sensitive topic and some companies do block political sites.

zzGrey on my laptop wouldn’t let me hit reply on a post. I switched to “Wide Screen” and it did. I’m back on zzGrey and …

I could submit. Dunno what was up.

I can’t edit a thread I started an hour ago? Would be nice to change this so I can correct typos.

I’m perfectly fine with this change. I had left it at 60 because that reflected the earlier poll result and I didn’t think the one you linked to gave enough justification for adopting the new default.

My personal thoughts on the whole thing is that people who want longer editing windows are presenting very clear reasons for having them, while those opposed only offer vague fears of things that have never happened.

How do I post a YouTube video at a specific moment of the video? I saw someone do this the other day. They cued you a video at like 0:31 into the video.

Thank you!

I don’t know if it’s the same on a phone, but for desktop, I click share, then there’s the setting at the bottom and just paste the link like normal, you can see it adds a t=124 parameter to the url

Thanks Smrk. Mobile appears different, I’ll keep clicking around a bit.

Right click on the video, “Copy video URL at current time”, paste here.

Oh, I guess that won’t work on mobile either.

Thank you all

When I try to quote posts that are just a twitter link, it generates this odd formatting with a giant-ass logo on it. This is happening with others too. Any way I can format my post so that it doesn’t do that?

Example below:

It’s very weird, whenever I quote just a tweet it turns into a link.

Test that I’ll quote in a second:

Quoted.

I’m using the default theme (simple light) on desktop.

Thanks.

It’s not a big deal if it’s unfixable. Just that if there’s a way I can avoid making it look like that, I will do so.

No that looks fine. How did you do that?
