HELP! ! !

[ChiefPie]

I need some help on how I can get a profile picture using a iPhone. After the website update my profile picture was removed and I do not remember how to set one up again. Need help, thanks!

Just go to your profile, and click on your profile picture to edit it. 

I don't know if it's any different on a iPhone, but it shouldn't be...

Not really a biggy, but strange nonetheless, I've noticed that four of my posts starting last night have not been counted on my content total. One post in particular was not counted last night as my 586th post, instead remaining at 585 in the content count. I just dismissed it as a glitch, but this morning, three other posts I made were not counted.

That is a bit strange, but it seems to have fixed itself, because your post count is at 594.

Those are some other posts I made, which were successfully counted, but in between those this morning there were three other posts I had made that weren't counted. So with those and one that wasn't counted last night, my post count should be at 598. 

Again, it's not a big deal, but just unusual.

I think the post in the "Community" and "Bazaar" don't count towards post total. So, maybe that is what is going on.

Hmm, I haven't posted at all in the Bazaar forum, but I have posted a few times in the past on this thread before. So maybe those posts from then have only now been discounted.

samurai-turtle is correct, Community forum doesn't add to your post count.

[Peppermint_M]

Indeed posts in Community are not counted as there was far too many threads that while fun, were nonsense and we did prefer that meaningful posts added to total. In all fairness, everyone's post count got reduced when the change was implemented.

Was there an update overnight or something? I had to log in this morning (my login is saved on my phone so I never have to do this), and suddenly everything looks different: the headers for each post are much bigger and a different color, forum navigation buttons are about double the size, and text is misaligned--the page number and the date of posting overlap considerably. I can post a screenshot if it will be helpful.

I have checked my phone settings and everything there, and nothing is out of the ordinary.

I'm using Chrome on Android 7.0.0, by the way.

Thanks in advance!

I had to login this morning as well, albeit on a desktop. Now there's a strange white border running around the edge of the entire page, and most of the color is gone from pages...

[Bob De Quatre]

Yes there was an update some time earlier. We're aware of some graphic problems and we'll deal with them asap.

[rodiziorobs]

That's great, I love how on top of everything you guys always seem to be, thanks!

For a couple minutes, I have had a unsafe website warning when trying to reach Eurobricks. It said something about your security certificate lapsing, but isn't showing up now.

 

any idea what happened there?

[Umbra-Manis]

I had the same occurrence as Murdoch, but now it's gone and EB is showing https now! Did we get an upgrade to https?

I may know the issue, but it isn't good. If you get a security warning, then that is a red flag. But the site changing to a https is another red flag. If Eurobricks was hacked, then it's https because the hacker(s) changed it to look that way and trick people. I'm not sure about this though, maybe we did get an upgrade.

[mocbuild101]

I had the same thing happen! One minute I'm reading a post on a topic, then all of a sudden, the page says there is a certificate error!

I looks like that's the case - my history before it happened shows "http", and now it shows "https" - which I hope is good!

Hmm...

In https, the site name at the top would likely be green for secure. But for me, it has https but it says not fully secure, and that that hackers can change the site security to look like it's secure. 

[Bob De Quatre]

We're trying to make the site all https, but some little things are slowing us down...

Noticed today that for some reason the Guilds of Historica got inadvertently moved from Historic Themes to Action Figures? Very confusing but hopefully an easy issue to fix?

[drachenloch]

Any chance we can get the padding issue fixed? Example:

I know I have been absent for several months due to a big move, but I was wondering why I got demoted from Duke to Knight when I have 2033 posts?  I'll try  to be more active again as time permits with grad school;  it will be during break times.

Can I change my username? I want to be Brick Fanner.

As per Eurobricks Guidelines/FAQ:

Quote

Can I change my user name?

Members are allowed to change their user name once they reach 500 posts. There is a limit of one user name change every 365 days.

Or you might be able to change it if you contact the staff - it you are lucky...

Is there a way to be notified of new poll votes on a topic you are following? There are a few poll based threads I am following, but I have to check back on them periodically myself to see the results; so notifications of new voters would be very convenient. 

Also for that matter, I noticed that for both topics and members you follow, you don't get notifications if either a followed topic earns new followers or if a followed member follows a topic. Is that just a function not available on this forum, or does it exist and just available for members of a certain status or rank?
