It's something I'll have to look into (if the server admin doesn't beat me to it.) Basically for right now the media plugin is completely disabled, likely because it was giving us some issues. When I get some spare time I'll see if I can configure it again. I was going to get some things fixed this past weekend, but then I came down with a rather nasty flu and didn't feel like doing diddly squat, as you can imagine. Right now I'm too busy with life stuff.


I'd have to look into it again, but if I remember correctly, I was going to disable it on ZCA but it turned out that it wasn't a simple settings change and you had to literally mess with the forum's core files and modify code to get rid of it.

Floofyyyy, fix the fuckin' avatar problem, plzzz.
Recently, when we try to set dynamic gif avatars, the system flattens them. Ask @pes, he will confirm.

I remember back in the early 2000s when the first forums really started to work, people would intentionally use flashing and irritating gifs as avatars. Many forums had rules about it after a while.

Come on, don't be like that! I did it myself, spent two hours on it, and now what? Nothing.

I don't know about back then because I was crawling under the table, but today it's 2026, 8 gigabytes of RAM is already considered a weak computer, the majority have 16 or 32, and when we add modern GPUs and CPUs, I see no reason for anyone to complain that a gif file is slowing down their computer.

It has nothing to do with slowing down the computer. It's entirely a matter of being a constantly moving annoyance.

Because the vast majority make annoying constant movement, few people have a sense of how to do something interesting and good.

My PC has AMD Ryzen 7 5800X With 64GB of RAM and an RTX 3070 8GB Graphics. I have seen many PC's with upwards of 512gb of ram. Anyway, Thanks to all the admins for working hard to keep this place up and running as smoothly as possible.
 
Noticed recently that the button to send DMs is missing, and there's no place to leave messages on people's profile either? Not sure if that's part of the update or just something weird on my end...

The forum was recently updated from version 2.2.13 to version 2.3.7 on December 27th, 2025. We're aware of some issues happening with certain functions and features of the forum. Please hang tight while the admins of the forum address the issues of such a large upgrade.

Image issues in DMs (and possibly forum threads), Groups not working and may be something not mentioned.

Brought it to the one that updated and he's currently working on those issues. Not too sure on the ETA for some.
I'll mention @admin @SloppyTac0 so he can see this and others could point out any thing they find.

As a possibility, I would advise clearing site data, or if you're in tor, new identity to clear up any cache issues due to any new code changes.

Thank you for the update!

The largest standard modules (UDIMM) are 32GB, and the maximum you can fit in a home computer, in 4 RAM slots, is 128GB. There is no way to physically fit 512GB into such a machine.

You have probably seen workstations and servers that use Registered (RDIMM) memory, which is very expensive, and you can increase the server's capacity to 2 or even 4 TB of RAM, but this is anything but a home computer.

By the way, I also have 64 GB RAM and 12 GB RTX.

Prior to this post you had under 20, meaning as per the change made 4 months ago you didn't have the right to PM or profile post.

GIFs used to be banned not only because of their annoying flickering, but also because they put an enormous strain on the server when 1000 users are online at the same time and everyone has to share the same GIFs.
Even if you have a fast PC on the client side, the server also matters.
 
That does not really matter today considering one page on the forum can have upwards of dozens to hundreds of megabytes of photos.

I just discovered that the media section of the groups is no longer accessible when accessed it displays: "Oops! We ran into some problems. The requested page could not be found."

The plug-in was wanting to fight me a bit, but it looks like I was able to get the Group Media tab configured for now. It seems to be working. Hopefully nothing's broken and nobody encounters any glitches with it.

Boof. Maybe it would be worth turning on multi-quote?

Meh, I was going to leave that as a ZCA exclusive, but I guess I can enable it here too. It definitely is a useful tool.

I wonder how many people will ask what the new button is for, on a forum where the majority of members don't see at the end of the one-line sentence that 20 comments + 30 days. 💀

It's actually hilarious how many people you see telling those without PM rights that they just need to make "I think" 30 posts, with no mention of 30 days. Don't know why it's "I think". If they're so concerned with other's PM rights they should know the restrictions themselves.
 
I think that information comes from other sources like telegram. Where people learn about zv and a very broken set of rules probably consisting of 1 max 2 sentences. Since reading costs energy and they only want to spend that energy on pms with women, who will value their dick pics, they do not read the rules.
 
Will echo what has been said and say do appreciate the work to update the forum, especially after seeing how been challenging to achieve full, smooth, operation; computers are not my strength.

Speaking of weaknesses, due to my condition and naivety combined with all the ban labels decided not worth the risk of loosing my privilege of enjoying this community and if this means can't do PMs, fine, I am not at all the one to find reason to start a conversation with someone. If this means get classified as a tosser, well know I can't toss because it goes elsewhere before being tossed. :p

Appreciate folks who recognize neurodiversity. 😁

Please understand not telling anyone what to do, just what I been taught and has worked well for me. Society often isn't going to accommodate so we have to adapt the best we can. In general, this means instead of being self focused, learn to laugh when possible, some things just have to accept hurt, learn, and move on. In this case, I just scroll until can't see it or if a longer post that has it, narrow the window, as for me only distracting.
