Hi there.. Usually in forums i see the control panel or setting then going to change avatar &edit profile but i couldn't found these options.

Not too dark , But just a bit more darker color themes like the simple machine forum default ?

Wasn't there a wacky post last night about NASA finding fossils on Mars "again"? Supposedly reported in the National Geo. Just wondering ,was it deleted or maybe did I see it somewhere else? I thought Mr dimreepr posted in reply to the effect that it was bs.

On some forums, banned or (temporarily) suspended users get identified by their usernames being in a different colour, being struck through or their "title" ("Lepton" etc) being changed (e.g. to "suspended" or "banned"). On the old version of the forum software here, the username was visible but was no longer a link to the user and their posts. (Which was annoying because it made it hard to find old posts - to identify a sock-puppet, for example). Now we have nothing telling us that a user is banned (unless you follow the banned users thread, or a mod posts in the thread(s) they were posting in) so people may keep trying to discuss something with someone who is …

We should bring back monthly debates, I personally feel like that'd be a lot of fun.

I came across this jus now, I have no idea if this is relevant in any way (either than DrP's evolution state) or if it's on the server side or on my side but I might as well share. @DrP's status is "Molecule" in the main thread view but it shows "Beacon of Hope" in his profile view:

Can we make a new section for this and discuss?

We know when we make photo copy of a doc or use printer to print, the unique ID of the machine gets printed that is invisible to naked eye. So can we use similar technology in the screen shots or video taken by mobile phones? Now-a-days most of us have mobile phones and most of us use them in negative purposes. For ex: exam paper leaking, private moments spent with a gal etc. And then our wicked brain makes them viral. But if such technology could be implemented so that when a video is taken or a snap is taken then the source Mobile IMEI or mobile no would be automatically stamped and when sent to others that number too would also be passed. And hence the outcome …

I persistently repeat my demand. Delete my account and all my posts, please.

I have CFU counts over 10 days. What is the best way to present colony forming units in a scientific paper? I don't think a table would be the best method. Maybe a bar graph? I have 10^-4, 10^-5, 10^-6, and 10^-7 plate counts. I have 20 different samples for each dilution. Please comment with some scientific papers or examples! Thank you

Before when I clicked on the upvote, the number incread by 1 so a post that had no votes yet would change from displaying nothing at all to 1. Today I noticed that the click produces a number 0. If I leave the thread and return 1 is then showing? Also what is the point of/difference between 'likes' and 'upvoting', it's all to easy to get the wrong one if there is a difference.

At ----> https://www.scienceforums.net/search/ At "Search by author" entering a valid username and hitting "Search content" at bottom shows no results, and a message asking for a term. Is that wrong or am doing something wrong ? Or; How to search for all contents of a member in a single forum ?

Apparently, i was going to give myself a profile picture when it said: "You are not allowed to edit this profile". Did I break a rule (This is my first time posting here) or do I need to wait?

Earlier today I responded to a thread about differential equations in homework. But it seems to have disappeared. Can anyone say what happened to it please?

This problem started after the last server repairs. If I recall it was on the New years when the hard drives were being serviced. Since that time my mobile phone has not been able to connect using data however reliably connects using my home wifi. The message I recieve is "connection refused." I tried both full and mobile version from my phone same message.

How about a current events section in the lounge?

Every time I open a new page, this morning, my AV informs me that it has aborted a connection to Googleheads, a known adware/spamming infection. Can someone please look into it ?

Wonder what that was....?

Posts don't seem to have numbers . How can I say which one I am talking about without actually using the quote function?

I just posted a topic in Earth Science. But the software here replaced the title with one from many weeks ago. It left the body of the text unchanged.

Is this site's software equipped for curtailing the length of posts in threads? Would it be a good idea to have a subforum where we would be guaranteed that posts and responses would be short and to the point? I accept my own intellectual limitations are not shared by all and that detailed posts are valuable and necessary but could there be an advantage to also providing for exchanges where just one point (of maybe two) at a time would be expressed?

Why does 'lepton' appear with my name/pseudonym ? lepton " an elementary, half-integer spin (spin 1⁄2) particle that does not undergo strong interactions"

Has the time for which a post is editable been reduced in the upgrade? It used to be that you had about a day (it felt like it anyway) and now it seems to be down to minutes. As someone who is quite picky about my own spelling and punctuation, I find this quite frustrating when I spot an error I made an hour or so ago.

When the latest forum format was introduced, for all its many faults, it was not slow. For the past few weeks SF have been interminable waits between moving to another page or responding to simple questions like hovering the mouse over the who is online list.

How do you delete your forum account? I can't find the option anywhere. Thanks.
