superfuture

hmm... your guess as good as mine 🤷‍♂️ ... i can take a look at the settings to see if there is some clue... are you uploading via the upload tool or linking to another image url? i cant reproduce it on the image upload...

@reallypeacedoff I think you are safe in here. It's very civil. ✨✨

@Toegun It could have been some extinct plugin we used... as it's not on the default version. Will see if I can locate something similar... We used to keep a bug list thread on superofficial so will try to update it.

@MJF9 Perhaps they all need to be collected into a dedicated summary sub-thread... ?

@unders let me check that. I seem to be able to still use them... <---- They are right at bottom of the emoji pull down...

@reallypeacedoff I think 3 mods at this point dedicated to superdenim is probably all that is needed for time being... They also have ability to moderate across the board though I can't see them hangin around in techwear threads...🙅‍♂️ So if anything we probably need a few mods that are interested in cleaning up some of the other boards... ? There are so many great old threads in supershopper that need to get some traction again. Just one new post in them often created a notification to the post followers who might not have visited supertalk for years and it might be a way to get some old users back onboard 🤷‍♂️

hmm. @reallypeacedoff What happens when you are on the default theme? (You should be able to toggle from menu near bottom of page). If it's same issue then it might be a bug with the software. If it works then it's a bug with my shitty css. 😐

hmm. just checked your preferences... maybe try changing? also is your PM working ok? I just tried to send you a PM and it would allow me - which was odd. ok.it worked that time 😉

Seems it's a bit of a unanimous 3-way result for the 👑. I have no issue with upgrading member status of @beautiful_FrEaK @Maynard Friedman and @Broark as moderators for now... whether they like it or not!

good points ⬆️ I think the threads are set to not be able to be deleted...🤔 only hidden. Then again, I haven't checked for years. We have rolling backups so it would be unlikely to not be able to recover anything... though probably a mess to unravel. But let's no go there.

🤠 /// Looking for some superdenim members to either nominate others or themselves to help moderate this board !! /// 🤠 It's about keeping the place pristine digi-clean and tidy and perhaps organizing and summarizing content a bit better - and potentially writing some editorial articles? 🤷‍♂️ The designated mod or mods would get admin access to be able to moderate posts, move posts, move threads, pin threads, moderate users etc.. as well as a few more user privileges above usual membership. You would pretty much have full autonomy over the board with as little interference as possible from superfuture [as has always been the case with supertalk]. The only requirement from superfuture's side is to determine if posts fall into category of 'unauthorized advertising' and promotion. 🙅‍♂️ If so, then they need to be referred to superfuture and we will let them know their promotion options. Any revenue from these referrals will earn a 20% commission mods bonus. 💰 Nominations now open... ✅ 🙋‍♂️

hmm. I can't see it on the default 4.7 theme either... 🤷‍♂️ If it's on that somewhere then we should be able to get it working... Maybe take a look.

Ah ok will check it. I know what the issue is… UPDATE: I *think* now fixed 🤔 well almost...😵 FIXED ✅

@Double 0 Soul Keeping the sales pitches out of the brand threads makes sense. It's the same on the supertechwear threads. I still maintain we need some new mods to be nominated on superdenim who can help starting to tidy this up [at least with mod powers to be able to monitor threads] - for example basic stuff like hiding posts and enlightening members as to their posting etiquette.🙅‍♂️ There hasn't been any functioning mods on here in years... largely because it seems to be very well self monitored. I don't really have any idea about whether things sell or not on here - or anywhere else... but I think it's probably worth aiming to make the platform work efficiently for the purpose. One thing though about Classified system is it has clear options for wanting to Buy Sell or Trade... and @Maynard Friedman ---> it is categorized by Brands (already inputted) so it could actually be better to navigate. The posts also get posted to the Activity feed and are further summarized in the (locked) Supermarket forum. As you know, that was locked years ago as it got so out of control when the site was much busier. We could always unlock it though that sort of defeats the purpose of Classifieds.🤷‍♂️ Anyway - just thinking of new options and ways to improve things now that a lot of the other tech shit has been cleaned up [and I have some rare free[er] time]. ✅

OK legit question here... Going forward ----> if Classifieds was FREE for members would you post your stuff there instead of on this thread? If not, why not? 🤷‍♂️ Just trying to figure out how to get the Classifieds restarted. (fyi...we are trying to relink old images and tags which went missing in the switchover) It's a much more logical system for categorizing / searching and it can be further customized to exactly how we want it. Also better to sell to non-members.

despite best intentions anything posted around september 29-30th might not have made it over to the new supertalk 8. does that correspond to the time period you are missing posts and dms? there was an announcement made on 29th to let everyone know to post at your own risk. the explanation as i understand it being there is a time lag between copying the databases over to a sandbox site at a point in time and then switching over to the production servers at another point in time so anything caught in the middle is lost. usually we would have just turned off the site for few hours for the switchover... but in this case the databases on supertalk were so huge that they took 3 days to transfer in the background and we kept the site online. alternatively we probably could have just closed the site for 3 days. sorry about that 😵 🤷‍♂️

your freind might appreciate this... 👇

feeling very nostalgic and time warpy... just realized first post on supertalk was almost exactly 20 years ago... sometime in october. literally lifetimes ago. this update should keep it going for a lot longer. there was a big issue with TLS and Amazon S3 - who have been sending me terrifying anxiety inducing warnings and countdowns to apocalyptic doom if we didn't update by now-ish... so crisis now contained. that said... i still have absolutely no fucking idea what TLS is. lol. 😩

i think the 'drastic visual update' you are referring to is the temporary default theme. 🔧 but yeh... at least it works! thx

already had double vision from sifting though thousand of lines of code... apparently it was ---> "nginx still pointed to sandbox hostname" in case anyone was wondering. 🤷‍♂️

i think we are on the other side? 💥

01 | superfuture started in 1999. how old were you then? [drg] 23 and still living in London. [evoque] 21 and in an undisclosed location. 02 | how did you first discover sufu? [drg] I have a feeling Elle sent me there when I was on the search for proper denim, some time around 2005. By this point we were living in Lexington, KY, which at that time was quite the dead zone when it came to things like selvedge, tier 0, or anything else that might get the nerd or otaku a-twitching. [evoque] It was so long ago that I can't accurately remember. 03 | there are plenty of shopping experts on supertalk. what's your specialty? are you a pro? [drg] I've been around a while at this point, and you pick some stuff up. Some time early on in the retail trenches with Diesel in the mid-90s taught me a lot about denim. (Protip: wash your jeans, it adds patina and no one likes the smelly kid!) I used to rock a lot of Stüssy, Futura Labs and Maharishi, although for the past few years its been a near-constant diet of Veilance and Acronym. [evoque] By necessity, I've had to be a specialist in women's techwear and sneakers, but I also have a fondness for designer handbags and shoes, as well as for architecturally interesting womenswear by designers like Sharon Wauchob, Maria Pinto, and of course Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe. 04 | reputation is everything in an online community. how's yours going? do you ever get neg repped? [drg] Not sure; too old to care these days. [evoque] Can't let the haters get you down, right? 05 | online forums are all about the members, threads and posts. who and what keeps you addicted? [drg] The Acronym and Veilance threads, mostly. [evoque] WAYWT, the bag thread, and the Acronym and Veilance threads, naturally. 06 | supertalkers are based all over the planet. have you met any IRL? [drg] A couple here and there. [evoque] Reader, I married him. 07 | are you fast and furious / slow chilled and controlled / or bitter and twisted? [drg] Depends on the time of day. [evoque] I contain multitudes. 08 | the internet is full of crap. with over 3.2 million posts since 2003 has supertalk been a credible contributor or a major culprit? [drg] On the one hand there's plenty of knowledge out there now as a result. On the other, kids use words like "jawns" which I don't even understand. So perhaps, as someone once said with regards to the US experiment with democracy, "it's too soon to tell." [evoque] As a time capsule into its particular intersection of fashion and culture, supertalk's definitely going to be a treasure trove for future Internet historians. 09 | if supertalk got accidentally deleted would you be devastated or relieved? [drg] I'd be upset. [evoque] Though there are more outlets focused on women's techwear and sneakers nowadays, I'd still be devastated to lose a familiar hangout. 10 | if you could nominate another superstar who would it be?
