Title: Thread Vanishing
Post by: Hades on February 19, 2011, 03:12:47 pm: Not sure if this warrants a topic but.. there seem to be threads randomly vanishing again, there already was the Inferno eyecandy thread, that BP thread, and now Shrike's roadtrip thread is gone. Any idea what it is?

Post by: General Battuta on February 19, 2011, 03:43:25 pm: Okay, if the answer is 'battuta deleted it', I am apparently cursed because my mouse has not gotten anywhere NEAR those buttons.

Post by: Woomeister on February 19, 2011, 03:46:04 pm: Yeah you managed to unstick the INF eyecandy thread again yesterday according to the log

Post by: General Battuta on February 19, 2011, 03:47:17 pm: I seriously don't understand it. This seems to have started happening that night I deleted NGTM-1R's post 400 times. It's as if I created some rift into dimensions of madness and now bizarre **** is happening.

Post by: General Battuta on February 19, 2011, 03:48:28 pm: There's record of me locking 'Do I look Taiidani to you' which I never locked or would have any reason to. :wtf:

Post by: Zacam on February 19, 2011, 04:34:05 pm: /me is heavily repressing the urge to post out a sentence, one word per post

Battuta, try temporarily changing your forum password and see if it still continues.

Title: Re: Thread Vanishing
Post by: karajorma on February 19, 2011, 06:40:36 pm: I restored two threads that apparently had been deleted by Battuta.

Again the same IP address was used so if one of your PCs has been compromised, it's the same one as before.

Post by: Axem on February 19, 2011, 06:41:14 pm: I think I found the problem...

Well, password's changed, let's see what happens.

Post by: General Battuta on February 19, 2011, 10:39:40 pm: Apparently I locked the 'Diaspora and BSG Online' thread, just unlocked it. I'm literally checking the moderation log to see what I've 'done' so I can undo it.

Post by: achtung on February 19, 2011, 10:50:09 pm: Battuta, have you considered the possibility of someone infiltrating your home solely for the purpose of logging on to HLP and taking moderation action while you are not there to see? I believe it is very important that you consider this possibility. Perhaps you should look under your bed.

What is it?
Title: Re: Thread Vanishing
Post by: General Battuta on February 20, 2011, 09:16:34 am: Say you're scrolling by holding down mouse3. When you release, it's registered as a click. If your cursor happens to be over one of the moderation buttons in the lower left, the button will be pressed, and since those are located at the very bottom of the page, any scroll-to-bottom behavior risks hitting them.
Title: Re: Thread Vanishing
Post by: Jeff Vader on February 20, 2011, 09:39:08 am: Well, at least with a regular left-click there should be a dialogue box asking "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DELETE THIS THREAD?!" after said click. If you accidentally click "Yes" there... really, I'll buy you a pint.
Title: Re: Thread Vanishing
Post by: General Battuta on February 20, 2011, 09:41:04 am: I'm gonna try it out on this thread right now

Post by: General Battuta on February 20, 2011, 09:41:59 am: There is definitely no confirmation dialogue!

Post by: Jeff Vader on February 20, 2011, 09:47:34 am: ...did you have to remove that thread just to drive the point?

Post by: Hades on February 20, 2011, 06:18:23 pm: maybe he needs his global mod status revoked, seems like an easy fix to me
Title: Re: Attn JeffVader
Post by: General Battuta on February 20, 2011, 06:20:54 pm: Well I couldn't figure out a better thread to delete and we've discovered the solution anyway.

Think Anon still has you beat for contributing to the board's culture.

Not in a good way, but there you go.
