  • We're well aware of the accusations of 'cheating' and vote manipulation and have spent quite some time looking into solutions. I hope to be able to talk about those within a couple of months. But I...
  • Replied in Careful
    although fun to suggest this simply isn't true
  • That was a bug, which i hope is fixed now (if not yet, it will be this week) Agreed - i've asked for this Yup, this is a limitation that we're hoping the next update will fix. We'll get...
  • We're on it SJ
  • We don't see this behaviour at all, so I'll file a ticket (I know there are problems with Opera, and we will get to them eventually). There are some known problems with quoting, which someone is...
  • Actually this isn't technically true - our forums do not see the galleries as any different to any other image source. Our infrastructure is probably far more complex than you imagine. Yes. We...
  • What you're seeing is a difference of depth of field.
  • I think it's pretty clear from 'remove your own directly uploaded images' that you'll be able to, erm, remove your own images. Yourself. SImon
  • We only introduced direct uploads with the new system, and right now, outside the 15 minute edit window, there is no way for the user to remove these images. When asked we will manually remove them...

  • Replied in DMCA

  • Replied in DMCA
    Or you could just ask.
  • you're not loading several elements/style sheets. Can you try turning off your ad blocker, clearing your cache and trying again?
  • It uses a cookie, and if you refuse cookies (as in private browsing mode) we can't do it. Simon
  • hi joyclick I'd love to hear how exactly you feel we've changed to a 'Commercial and money aspects first' site? I am not being argumentative: i really don't understand your comment SJ
  • We're aware of the problem and have been working on it since last night. This one is due to a failing outside DPR, which makes it harder to fix, but does at least give me the rare chance to say...
  • Makes a nice change to hear something nice, thanks! Simon
  • If you think about it, it's only 20 working days. Let's assume 10% (2) of those days are taken up with other stuff (it's probably slightly more) like meetings etc. We spend at least 3 days shooting...
