Is @system a real person/people?

katinka · January 10, 2021, 9:23pm

No, it’s an automated account which makes service announcements and things like that. Although for some strange reason, when we made the switch to Discourse it did pick up some old posts from other accounts, which is why you’ll occasionally see it in conversation when browsing old topics.

Oh, that makes sense! I’ve seen it has the ‘nice reply’ badge and the reply in question is not bot-generated . thank you!

I’ve noticed this, too, and I don’t remember this being the case before. (Though maybe I just never tried to edit a poll after the first 5 minutes.) [name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering, is there anything that can be done about this @katinka? If not, I’m sure it’s not that important. But it would be nice, I think.

Even admin can’t change polls after 5 mins, it’s part of the software unfortunately (and has been since the start). I agree it would be useful though!

How do you close a topic?

katinka · January 17, 2021, 10:10pm

You can only do it at a certain [name_u]Trust[/name_u] Level (I think 4). If you have a topic you’d like to close, please link it below or in a PM and I will deal with it for you.

I just earned this badge

I… had a profile pic and user card before didn’t I

Kipperbo1 · January 23, 2021, 5:28am

I just got mine when I added my name to my bio, so that might be it? Right under your username when you look at your profile

ethelmary · January 23, 2021, 5:30am

I had everything filled, yesterday I took down all the info but I used to have everything filled

katinka · January 23, 2021, 8:25am

So weird! I just checked and I’ve got mine, never had the name field filled in

elanorelle · January 23, 2021, 2:40pm

I once deleted all of my UC info, and then I lost the autobiographer badge. When I filled it back in, I got it again. So I think that is how it works.

Is it possible to add the little x to the upper right-hand corner of the videos? They get kind of annoying when you have them crowding the page and can’t get rid of them.

katinka · January 23, 2021, 7:04pm

@elanorelle

Please email the URL of the ad and this screenshot to support@nameberry.com, explaining the issue

ethelmary · January 23, 2021, 7:05pm

I don’t think it’s about the ad itself, on the main page (non-forums) videos don’t have a X button

At least the ones I see don’t

elanorelle · January 23, 2021, 8:50pm

I can do that, but I will say, it’s not just that video – it’s every video. I guess there’s a video ad slot on NB pages.

And if you scroll, the video then moves to the side of the screen so that you can still see the ads and can’t turn them off.

Yeah, as @ethelmary said above!
