I don't know if there's been a board update, but for the last few days, any twitter feed included in a post is slightly scrollable, instead of being displayed fully. This happens to me on Firefox and Chrome.... Anyone else having the same issue?

There's unfortunately no way Meruelo will sell the Coyotes because the Sports Betting bill was passed by the governor and that's money he's after. He needs the Coyotes to be able to become a bookie. So no matter how much money the Coyotes lose, he's still making money elsewhere.
The only possible way to move is if the board of governor forces him to sell, and that's a very slim possibility.

Particularly when a page first loads. Yeah, the ads infiltrate the threads and cause things to bounce.
Yeah, I'm now getting an overlay of ads at the top and the bottom of the page too...
This is getting ridiculous on mobile especially...

After six weeks and ten events, it's time to close this in style! Over the course of the contest, 20 designers submitted a total of 130 entries, and 13 of you picked up at least one medal this time around! In addition to this, 8 designers entered all the events this year, a whopping 40% of the participants! Therefore, for your efforts, here's a personalized badge to celebrate this.
@-kj, @bucknut42, @charliehustle, @GriffinM6, @HRC4, @Jake3roo, @Josef_Bretones, and @officeglenn, you can show this off proudly!

Now whenever I go to this site, a new tab opens up for this site:
https://dudepages.com/totally-awesome-randomness-35-photos/
It's been happening for a few days now, on both my laptop and desktop. What the hell is wrong with this site? It's literally the only site that I have technical issues with, whether it's log in, ads that take over my mobile screen, weird popups, and now these "dude pages" tabs that pop open. Since these things happen on three separate devices, I feel it needs to be something with the ad devils that are being used, or something else goofy with this site.
A very basic google search shows that it's a virus... So while it may have come from the ad network here, have you tried removing the virus (even if on multiple machines)?

You asked for it, so it's back!
Events
The order of the ten events has been determined by a random draw. Events will run for one full week with two events running each week. Events will start on Mondays and Fridays, and will finish the following Mondays and Fridays. The first event will be posted on Monday, May 18th. Here is the full calendar:
Rules
Specific criteria will vary by event, but there is an overlying set of rules for the LOGOLYMPIAD:
- Any registered board member may enter;
- Participants are limited to ONE entry per event. You may enter as many or as few events as you like;
- All entries must be your own original work, unless specified. For example, you may use existing logos and images if it is part of the event’s criteria. You may not use anyone else’s work for any part of your entry;
- You may use any template you like, unless a template is provided in the event’s criteria;
- I will serve as the contest’s referee, and will answer any questions about rules and event criteria. Questions must be asked within the event thread, and will be answered within the same event thread. I will NOT respond to any questions about an event in a PM, instant message or personal email, so don’t contact me directly. Any contact via PM, instant message or personal email will be answered in the event’s thread for full disclosure;
- I will be the judge to any dispute.
Anyone caught cheating or otherwise compromising the integrity of the LOGOLYMPIAD will be disqualified, stripped of awards and/or banished from future participation.
Submitting your entries
Failure to follow the guidelines could result in your entry being inadvertently (or intentionally) excluded from judging.
Entries must be emailed to logolympiad (at) gmail (dot) com prior to the set deadline. Subject line should be the event number (Ex: Event 1). Once you submit your entry, it is considered final.
Entries must be submitted as .jpg, .gif, or .png formats. The file name format of the submission is: event#_yourusername.extension (Ex: event1_pollux.png). The file must be attached to your email.
All final entries must be 1200x800 pixels with at least 100 pixels of white space at the bottom of the image. This means that your presentation has to fit in an 1200x700 pixels window (1200 pixels wide by 700 pixels high). I will NOT resize entries that are not properly done, so make sure it’s right.
The background of the entries should be solid white, unless otherwise specified. You must not use gradients, shadows, patterns, lines, etc. on your background.
Do not add any text, like labels, or images to your submission, unless otherwise specified. Do not add the team name, location, entry number, event type, etc.
Do not include your name or any other personal identifiers on your submission. Also, do not watermark your work. I will add a watermark to each entry before they get posted for judging. I will also provide each entry with a number. You are expected to keep the identity of your entry anonymous until the end of the event. If you think you know the identity of another designer, keep it to yourself. Anyone who exposes their identity or the identity of anyone else will be DQ’d.
You should receive an automatic reply once you submit your entry. If you don’t receive one, please PM me directly. If I see an issue with the format of your submission, I will contact you giving you a chance to resubmit. I will NOT, however, comment on the content of the submission.
Judging/Awards
The voting will be open to public voting once the event is officially over. Once the finalists have been posted in the event thread, voting will be open for 3 days.
Judging is open to all board members registered before May 1st, 2020. This is to ensure no one is voting for themselves under an alternate login.
Members may vote once per event and may not vote for their own entry (I’ll know if you did, and will not count your vote). You may not disclose the identity of any of the designers of the entries until voting closes.
Voting will be via the 3-2-1- points method. Voters will be asked to post their choice for a gold, silver, and bronze winner. Gold votes are worth 3 points, Silver worth 2, and Bronze worth 1.
Points standings
After each event, the top 15 participants for a given event will receive points based on their position in the standings of that event. The participants will receive points from the following scale: 20-18-16-14-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 depending on their position, with the gold medalist receiving 20 points, and the fifteenth participant receiving 1 point.
The points will be accumulated through the contest. At the conclusion of the contest, champion icons for the points standings will be awarded to the top three participants.
What’s at stake
Medal icons will be awarded at the conclusion of voting to the top points-earners, based on the above scoring system. Results will be posted in the event thread.
In the event of a tie, multiple medals will be awarded, at the expense of lesser-value medals. If there are two gold winners, no silver will be awarded; if there are two silvers, there will be no bronze.
If there are more than 3 entries for an event, three medals will be awarded. If there are three entries, only gold and silver medals will be awarded. If there are only two entries, only a gold medal will be awarded for the event.
Champion icons will be presented to the top overall winners at the end of the LOGOLYMPIAD and will be determined by total points from weighted medal values – 3 points for each gold, 2 for each silver, and 1 for each bronze.
Winners can download the posted medal icons for use in their signatures and on their own websites. Please do not link to the images.
A complete list of event-by-event medal winners and overall standings will be posted in this thread and updated at the close of each event.
The party starts on Monday, May 18th. And with that, I hereby declare these games… OPEN!

Am I doing something wrong when I try to embed a tweet? everytime I think I do it, I end up with this:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We. Are. Done. <br>Thank you to everyone for their positive comments, follows, retweets and likes.

You only need to copy and paste the http address into the reply window and it'll automatically add it as a Twitter post. However, if you're on a phone, I don't know how to get the twitter address.

I think I once proposed a vote on all name changes - like a poll. You’d have to campaign, and might have to make concessions to get a name approved. Didn’t we get a guy to call himself IAmAFlamingDouchebag or something?
Ahem...

Sometimes on seemingly random board pages, while browsing on mobile, I get redirected to a page purporting to be from Google telling me that my phone has been damaged by a virus and that I need to download an app to clean it up. I've never done so, of course, but it is a major risk for someone maybe more trusting. Usually the domains are gibberish, but I think one time it was something like whatisthebestapp dot com.
I've experienced the same thing on mobile as well.

I don't know how to phrase this properly...
Is there a way around having to include a poster's reply as bumper in this message box when I bail on my own reply or the like? i.e. if I begin to type a reply & not bother... even if I return to post a fresh take the next day or week(? haven't got there yet), the previous poster's message/bumper I had been replying to continues to exist.
There seems to be no delete all option to include a previously posted reply- whereupon I've had to say 'this message has nothing to do with that person or message, there is no other option to participate without original bumper'.
I get that we don't have a delete post option, however being able to simply clear this box of stale irrelevant contents should be yes?
On desktop, you can select the "resize" icon on the top left, then delete the whole quote box.
Same thing on a phone - at least an Android phone. Click and hold on the quote title, i.e. "7 hours ago, 2001mark said:". The "resize" icon will appear again and you just need to press delete to have it go away.

I've tried it on IE and Firefox. No dice.
Must be one of those things you can obtain once you hit 25,000 posts.
Odd. I tried it on IE, FF and Chrome and the box appears on all three.
Are you running some kind of ad blocker, or blocking some javascript? There's a :censored:-ton of potential issues here, but I'm not completely sure that they would span across multiple browsers.
Which Windows version are you on?

@DG now...see, I cant even simply quote you or copy paste here, its frustrating and annoying.
that's of course a ridiculous comment since I can do all those things on 99 percent of the other forums I go to. Which means they understand and Are able to help other browsers etc. Its the job of this site to make it easier and more
accessible. Not to beat around the bush with excuses
Can you post pictures of what is happening? It's very hard to debug someone else's problem when there's little to no information and that no one else can reproduce the issue.
What happens when you click the quote button? How about the MultiQuote button? What does your editor look like? Any error messages coming from the page or the browser?
Nothing will be solved if you only say: I can't quote, fix it. No one else has this issue - which brings the question: maybe there's something malicious on your computer?

I can reproduce the issue on Firefox and Chrome on desktop and mobile, so I don't think it's a user issue here.
