How did Nep bump his own deleted blog and how soon can we ban him if he keeps it up?

It's not deleted, it's just not due to be posted yet.

Phylum 03-13-2015 10:12 PM

When is it due to be posted?

inb4 new calendar spam

You can see the post date next to the title.

Better be worth it.

Phylum 03-13-2015 11:33 PM

This is going to be worse than calendar spam.

Seriously though that's a pretty huge oversight by whoever designed this forum software.

Shade667 03-13-2015 11:35 PM

Nevermind then, I thought it said 2016.

Phylum 03-14-2015 12:14 AM

It does. That's why it's an oversight - people could queue up as many of those as they like and they would all "float" above anything anyone posted for the next year, or more. Someone would manually have to go through and clean them all up.

It doesnt. It says 2106. Thats a hundred years away.

Phylum 03-14-2015 03:18 AM

Oh, shit. Someone needs to do something about this...

e: Ok so I made a blog called "If man is still alive..." to be posted in 2525, but it caps at 2106. I still need to share that because it's a not-awful joke.

Shade667 03-14-2015 03:21 AM

Why does it even have the option?

Phylum 03-14-2015 03:27 AM

So that you can schedule posts if you want to maintain a regular blog or something. The feed at the bottom of the page for some themes (half of the forum won't even know that blog exists) shows unpublished blogs for some weird reason. Even drafts show up there apparently.

Shade667 03-14-2015 03:42 AM

I only check that part of the front page for blogs. I dont go to the blogs section.

To be fair, the blog part is probably a third-party add-on, so it’s not vBulletin’s fault.

Phylum 03-14-2015 05:32 AM

Then maybe it's just easier to revert to blaming Alcar again?

I don't even know if I can!

Varrok 03-14-2015 11:39 AM

2106? Better oil our watches.

Shade667 03-14-2015 06:43 PM

Were you quoting someone in your post? Quotes (and some other tags) don't count to word length.

Shade667 03-14-2015 08:49 PM

No. I was just replying.

Nate 03-15-2015 12:14 AM

Wierd. Next time it happens, please take a screenshot then send me a PM.

Shade667 03-15-2015 01:30 AM

Cant. Im on PS4. No PC.I can take a screenshot on ps4 but I can only share that through PSN.

Edit: You posted exactly what I did on Meech's blog.

Varrok 03-15-2015 02:09 AM

You typed the characters so fast the forums didn't even recognize it

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 02:32 AM

AND THERE IT WAS, GONE!

That's sad. Turns out we have no reason to wait 91 years anymore

EDIT: Shade is so fast

Shade667 03-15-2015 02:47 AM

I just realised something else, I cant quote blogs anymore. Cant quote the blog or the reply. I tried to quote ur post nate (because I cant read the small text so I quote to it gets bigger) and theres no quote button.

I remember there being one...

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 03:10 AM

You're just too fast. You're there on the page before the buttons have even loaded.

Varrok 03-15-2015 03:54 AM

You're there on the page before the buttons actually existed

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 04:48 AM

He's on the page before anything existed...

Really? I see people quoting all the time.

Nepsotic 03-15-2015 08:35 AM

Ignore Manco, he's just fucking with you.

Varrok 03-15-2015 10:18 AM

Manco. Such a... jokester.

We're manually copy-pasting and then clicking the quote icon button (http://www.oddworldforums.net/images/editor/quote.gif).

Varrok 03-15-2015 11:45 AM

and puting it manually in quote tags*

Damn, cant do that. No way to highlight text unless ur in a text box.

Job McYossie 03-15-2015 01:02 PM

you can also do it by starting the quote with "[ quote ]" then the text then "[ /quote ]" but do not put any spaces in the brackets

Shade667 03-15-2015 08:26 PM

Double post: Okay, so, thanks nep. U replied "k" to the latest blog. If u can type k, why cnat a type 4 letters? Is there some setting ive switched off by accident or something.
