Various minor forum changes

Thanks :smile:

…Oh. Wait. Where did you see this? :confused: I’d reverse googled the image before, and didn’t find anything like that, and there certainly wasn’t any response of that nature in the reddit or deviantart I turned up :confused:

Are you sure it was the same flag?

I’m not sure why a blue&green themed variant of the :lesbian_flag: for gay men would be something the alt-right would’ve picked up anyway :confused: it’s very obviously similar.

some threads on queer twitter, but, yeah, might be the wrong flag. Heck, i hope it’s the wrong flag. :confused:

I reverse searched it on twitter… I found… one tweet suggesting that using the :lesbian_flag: and :gay_flag: would help make it so that the :rainbow_flag: is less focused on gay men only, which is pretty much how I was feeling about it… another tweet just mentioning proposed gay male flags in response to a question of whether there were any… and unfortunately, one gay guy using it to be a jerk to a lesbian :rage: which was inexcusable but I can’t really see how it could be blamed on the flag.

I’d be the first to abandon it if we can demonstrate that it is an alt right thing, but since I can’t find any source going further back that the pride flags deviantart, for now I think it’s reasonable to consider it safe until proven guilty :slight_smile::rainbow_flag::demiguy_flag::gay_flag:

@MeltingPenguins I specifically ignored any flag I was aware of as coming from, or predominantly being used by bigots, and wasn’t aware of this one being used as such (nor could I find it).

@HomingPidgeon :agender_flag: :agender_flag: :agender_flag: (I did these last two a much quicker way, if anyone wants to say whether they look better, worst, or indistinguishable from the other flags.)

Thank you! :smiley:

I don’t see any difference between these and the others. I mean, other than the expected, what with being different flags

<3 sorry for being so paranoid.

Yeah :disappointed: It makes me especially sad when LGBT people are bigoted against other members of the LGBT community (like the last tweet I found)… they should really know how bad it is…

And yeah, the “smuggle” thing you mention does sound like something that could happen, so yeah :sweat_smile:

I can’t tell the difference either :slight_smile:

Any chance of looking into letting members and regulars quote from locked threads?
With Discourse limiting big threads and the advent of several big series over here, mostly XoR and the Infinity series for now, but I doubt it’s going to stay limited to just those in the future, not being able to qoute from the old threads is becoming more and more of an annoyance at times.

I just quoted from a closed thread @idonotlikeusernames.

@Havenstone does it all the time too, but you have that fancy “Leader” status that also allows you to close threads in the first place, which is presumably what allows you to quote from them too.
I can’t seem to quote from them on the other hand.

@Eiwynn Test, test,test
Wait, what It worked. I swear I wasn’t able to do this a couple of weeks ago. Okay problem solved for now it seems. If this was your doing @RETowers then thanks! :+1:

Apparently, I can’t change the category of a thread anymore, as a regular. Is it just me or does this change apply to all regulars, if I may ask? @RETowers

It looks like I still have the option to do it, but I’m afraid of messing with this to test it to see if it’ll actually go through. :sweat_smile:

I too have the option, here. However, when I tried to change the category, it gives me an error “You are not permitted to view the requested resource.”

Don’t know what that means.


Give it a try! Change this thread’s.

ok, I didn’t change this one, but I did change another one and it went through without issue.

It’s working for me when I impersonate your account. Try again, or give me step by steps because I can’t see the problem.

I’ve tried and it’s working as normal, now.

I’m having the same problem @Szaal was having. I have screenshots if that helps!

Can you change it to anything other than #general? (I’m not heavily surprised by it, and if you can change to other things, I’m pretty sure I know what the problem is, and I can’t/won’t fix it because it’d break something else I like.)

I can! I changed it to “off topic” successfully
