    Padded Room

    Why did you put the disclaimer on the padded room? When I click on the padded room forum, a message pops up asking me if I'm at least 18. Also, the thread count, etc are not shown, and it says never where it displys that latest post. Now I feel like I will get in trouble with work for sure if I go in there...

    I'll have to fire up my laptop to see, but I bet (hope) this is a one time deal based on username or IP.


    If it isn't a one time deal, this sucks, as nothing from the padded room showed in new posts until I clicked through...

    Hey folks,
    We were directed by our legal team to do this. We have had a number of incidents recently involving lawyers and the site. I believe it works off of a 1 time cookie, so you should not see it too much unless those reset. This should serve two purposes. It keeps the Padded Room going and it helps protect us.

    makes sense.
    how about posting "a number of incidents recently involving lawyers and the site " on the padded room??

    i like that we are not a censored message board. censorship turns into brainwashing and very boring people.

    way to solve both issues simply.

    There's a back door, though... Try "New Posts" and see what you get.

    Does even saying this mean that you have to fix that? If so, I'll unsay it...

    Truer words were never spoken. Contrary to popular opinion--and famous literary reference "First we kill all the lawyers."--I like some of these folks. The ones whose balls have dropped i have a special affinity for. The pussies, not so much.

    Plus, maggot lawyers are by definition NOT pussies.

    I thought the disclaimer was supposed to be a one-time thing. Does that mean there's an issue with my browser/cookie settings, or is does it bug every one every time?

    are you on a mobile device by chance?
    otherwise no idea at all...

    edit: if so, hang tight, in final testing on an updated app, for now i get around it by going to 'new posts'
    if not, maybe try the ole close the browser window, google/reopen tgr...

    Actually, I have always been hitting "new posts" on both the home pc and the iPad and never had any problems. Oddly the padded room has completely disappeared from the pc, even when searching in Forums. Jump on the iPad and there's no problem (other than not showing times).... Tried the whole shut down, reboot, system restore etc.... Oh well, pad will have to do for now.

    I definitely have to accept the terms every time I open the Android app.. problem is I have to open the forums window and click padded room, which sometimes I forget to do.

    Why not have it linked to username rather than a cookie type of thing. ie put that the padded room is NSFW in the terms of service, make us all click ok once when we sign up, and have that be the end of it?
