OMG, I got a warning! Now what?


Recommended Posts

Ahh - I'd like my warning meter removed. It's ridiculous to have it there when I have 0% on it anyway.

Bring back banned members while we are at it :laugh:
I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you....... :laugh:

Well, you are the only one that sees it anyways....

I think that IPB didn't really think that part through well enough. Considering members don't see each others warning levels, I find it dumb that the space the warning meter takes up is still there. So even if a post is particularly short, the whole thing takes up more space because of the user column on the left. All of that wasted space adds up :/

It's either empty space, or space with more info to ignore. The space itself will always be there. ;)

Please contact us privately so no one else has to see the dirty laundry.

But the thing is that I contacted the person that warned me. And an admin too. They never replied back. (Maybe because I was using Safari then, and they got blank messages?)

Like they did over my question over the subscription's money order.

Don't get me wrong, but there was a time when a mod would reply to us in a zip.

This is a little off topic, but I thought it might help with the space issue. I was annoyed at having to scroll forever to read a bunch of one line replies. So, I ask for help and got a solution to this issue, at least for me. So, if you use Firefox and Stylish, you may find this style interesting. It hides all user details until you hover your mouse pointing under the user's name. Then it displays that users Info only.

It's made public under my user name, but I didn't really do anything in the making of it. That part is explained on the page. I love it! I mean it makes reading Neowin a LOT faster. And NO it does not block ads.

No offense to the developers (of the site and themes), as I know you can't please everyone. Just thought I'd post since you all was talking about the space.

I have a feeling this could be adapted to use with Opera too.. so feel free to do so. It's just a few lines of code. Enjoy!

I hate to be a moaner here, but I think one of my warnings should be taken down by now. Is it possible to see when I got the warnings if you keep records of them?

Everything is fine. You're not due for one, yet. I checked the logs. For more specific info such as dates, you'll have to PM me.

Maybe BUT your signature is also in your post. So when you have a large signature (the max you can have) and you make a short post, you'll still end up having a lot of white space on the left because it has to fill your post. ;)

From my understanding that it still shows when there 0% because people kept pm'ing staff to see what their % was so the coderators made a quick hack.

How does the automatic warn remove system work? Does it go by the date of the warn that you received or does it go by your latest warn? Im just wondering since i think in a couple months or so some of my old warnings will go away however i dont know if my new warn is going to reset the time

New warns do reset the time, it goes by the latest warn. No point in us warning you only for you to receive a reduction the next day.

i think in a couple months or so some of my old warnings will go away

When you get an automatic warn reduction, it will only remove one warn every 6 months. It doesn't matter if you get warned 3 times in one day, 6 months down the line, only 1 of those 3 warns will be removed every 6 months.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
