Whenever I click on my profile and the index of my messages or recent posts,I have to switch to landscape on my iPod touch in order to read the header.
It is fine when I click on a message or recent posts of mine and I don't have to switch to landscape.
See below.
Regular view:

Higher up onscreen (above the top edge of your screencaps), inside the black 'Profile Info' button, there's a small circular icon with an arrow pointing to the right. It controls whether you want to view this screen in a one-column or two-column format. You're currently in two-column format, and the screen's not wide enough to display the content in portrait orientation. If you tap the small circular icon, it'll switch to one-column format and things should improve significantly. Please try that and let us know if it's better.

Thanks!

I seem to have broken this thread when I edited my post:
http://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?topic=9993979.0

All I did was add a line of text and switch one png screen capture for a different one.  Initially, the screen went black after I clicked "Post".

While the site itself is a broken mess
And the people in charge just couldn’t care less

@ Liam:
Thanks. There's evidently some kind of bug that makes it possible to damage threads that way. I removed your final post and PMed you as much of it as I was able to recover. Please try to post the message again, but check the integrity of the png before posting it.

I have no idea how to do that.  I have a vague understanding that image files can become "corrupt", but in what way I don't know.  The file behaves normally in Windows 10.

Could the thread breaking have anything to do with the attachment's dimensions?  It's a screen capture of that entire thread, 1263 x 7816.

Yeah, it could. I don't know why, but another thread broke recently when an excessively wide or tall image was uploaded to it. If you'll slice your image into a pair of 1263 x 3908 pngs, you can upload them in consecutive messages as an exception to the 1-1-1 rule.

Checking an image just involves opening it in 3 or 4 different apps to make sure they can all handle it without choking.

Today, I found that the Forum gives the "**<number>**" treatment to certain words, even though they aren't on the Forum's banned words list:

cele brity (rendered as "**29**" without the space)
drin king (rendered as "**94**" without the space)
dru nk (rendered as "**92**" without the space, even though "punchdrunk" comes through OK)
sle ep (rendered as "**82**" without the space, even though "asleep" comes through OK)
sle pt (rendered as "**84**" without the space)

Weird.

When the software was upgraded last year, it unfortunately came with a much longer list of prohibited words, many of which are common words like "sleëp" and "entränce", that are perfectly harmless in conversations between people like us, but are apparently useful in discussions about räpe and other forms of sexual abuse.

The software has a low opinion of its users.  :-X

That's ludicrous! Given that, AIUI, the filtering is done at the behest of the company that handles the site's credit card payments, is there no alternative - slightly saner - list of banned words that the said company could be persuaded to let the site use? Alternatively, is there no alternative company that the site could switch to using for processing its credit card payments?

It seems to make no sense at all that one can't use words here that would be perfectly acceptable on F*a*c*ebook or Twitter, or indeed almost anywhere else on the Web. (Apparently F*a*c*ebook is a banned word!)

We share your frustration, but there is a wide gulf between the lowly moderators and the BEA managers who make decisions about things like business partners and their requirements. I suggest the ümlaut as a workaround; it's fairly unobtrusive, and the autocensor doesn't recognize the forbidden words.

And yeah, we added Fäcebook to the list ourselves years ago when our users were doing too much linking to it from here.

I've been trying to download pictures from this thread but it always gives me the below message when I click on a picture to download.
I have tried at least 5 times over the last month and it's always the same thing.I have had this problem a few other times when trying to download pictures from other threads as well.It seems to be from older threads.I have no problems with the threads that are usually posted to.
Here is the thread:
http://forum.bearchive.com/index.php?topic=239260.50

I understand that the 24/7 rule does not apply for this thread.
This happened to me yesterday when I tried to log out.
Not a big deal.It only happened to me once but I thought I would report it.

I just clicked on the two pictures that I posted and it gives me the exact same message that is in the pictures.
Weird!
