Reorganization of September 29th, 2025

[Mussolini’s Merkin]

Unfortunately search is currently down, so I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere, but is there anything that can be done about the 'Error 153' that has started appearing on embedded YouTube vidoes?
It seems to be a recent occurrence and I am not sure if it is on the YouTube or the Xeno end.

to fight the dumbassery and pump those rookie numbers, id tell those who are capable we need more adult swim type beat ads and short tutorials. edgy but youtube uploadable. "how to be the best kiwifarmer" a focus on enriching the current farmers and seeding the land for new ones.
"so you wanna be a fruit farmer?"
"how to thumbnail"
"double posting and you"

If you're looking for suggestions on change, I think sports should be it's own section, category outside health and fitness, given that the conversations in sports threads are moreso about watching them rather than playing them. I think if sports threads weren't inside a category as niche as health, the threads would prolly get more traffic

we are already splitting hairs with the ot boards.

Is there a way to make images that are pasted from the clipboard automatically thumbnailed?

no. blame xenforo. they're british so they suck.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

I tried opening an attachment and saw someone else's account

Damn. That sucks

thirteen year old issue. when an attachment is opened it caches the page. if the attachment is broken it caches the error. when the attachment is opened again it shows the same error, including the user. it does not give you access to the account or expose private information. I have to explain this maybe once a day every day for my entire life.

Also, having chat on front page was convenient, maybe it can just be a collapsible box there closed by default or something.

I think chat could replace the users online box if it's an issue of space since people use the active/new threads boxes

 

[Bionicle Enthusiast]

People with negative reaction score should not be able to hide their profile from view, so they may be mocked. Same for anybody with anybody who is banned from posting.

 

[ASeabear8952]

KingCobraJFS emojis would most definitely be what’s up.

second this toobz

Thirded! TMDWU

 

[UERISIMILITUDO]

I would like the name field to be slightly wider, or the font size to be slightly reduced, for what are obvious reasons if one merely looks at how my name currently displays.

 

[The Lawgiver]

Last year I had a weird dream where the halloween theme was changed to have this weird purple tinge to it with the explanation "It's more halloween colored now" and tried in my half awake state to replicate it

It wasn't this intense in terms of saturation, though. Given the coming season and recent changes I remembered it again.

 

[John Shedletsky]

Dunno if this was mentioned at all in the thread (on the 1st page right now), but the bookmarks (old and new) still link to kiwifarms.net and not kiwifarms.st.

 

[The Cheese Aisle]

Live Talent should be merged into Lolcows (or Communities, if that makes a return). It looks weird in General and makes KF look like a gay weeb site.

 

[invisibult plus+]

Retvrn the gold theme.

 

[Bonzi Baptist]

I have an idea proposal: Kiwifarms should have a banned user purgatory, a containment board where we can atone for our sins. That would have been very useful for my temporary ban, and it would provide a chance at redemption for many users, limiting sock account attempts, but if a user does something illegal, they can be permanently banned. Thoughts?

 

[ToEnsureVerification]

One question, it's about the speed of bumping threads. When Community Watch an lolcows were seperate, they both had their own speed to it in the bumps and it sort of fit.

But the thing with lolcows is that there are threads that are psychotically on top like the Rekieta, or Destiny ones, merged with ones that don't get bumped as often (maybe thrice a day). Open question, would it make sense to sticky some of the most prolific threads, so there's not a bump war between the most posted on threads and the ones who get less bumps but still have activity, to prevent those smaller ones getting buried in the noise of the most prolific threads? Could there be another solution to the bumping diferencies?

 

[Brett DeLawyer]

I just wanted to say I like the emojis Jersh

Also I don’t remember if the search function has a date parameter (say, search between dec 25 and Jan 1 2021-2023) but if it doesn’t can we get one of those

 

[Sperg_rancher]

I can't see my own post history page- I take it this feature is handled by elastic search?

The live talent subforum isn't cow threads. This would just make shit even more fucking stupid and confusing.

This shit sounds gay as hell and not in a billy herrington kinda way.

Yeah it's gone down at prior times search has gone down so I'm going to say yes here even though I don't program for shit.
