How many members can the Helper.net can handle...everyday, many people register only to post a question, and then vanish without trace and never care again...

Quite a few. Knowing forums and servers, I don't think the server itself would be overloaded unless there were thousands of members on at once, posting.

And that would never occur...I see.I do have another question now...
What happens to you when you reach the maximum number of reputation? (both positive and negative)-(if it is already asked, please tell me where)

I don't think you're able to. Even then, it'd be pretty hard to get to the maximum, seeing as the creator of the site doesn't even have the maximum. (Or maybe he does; I'd have to check)

It was just out of curiosity.So, haven't anyone reached the max rep? who are the ones with the most positive & negative rep?

There is always a limit... it's just ethically impossible to get the max rep, because once you are at the top you only gain one rep per +rep, as is my understanding. Also who +reps admins? It won't happen unless we start a conspiracy to make one user get max rep, I'll guarantee you.

And why would SD_Ryoko have such negative rep?

He set that himself. There's really no indicator on who has the most rep - Mainly because TH sets reputation levels for various users.

So one admin can set his rep...never mind, another one: how can you be a moderator? (stupid question, but I would like to know)

There is no limit, as far as I know. Logical_1 set his rep arbitrarily to some insanely high power of 2 once (might still be that way), and it worked. Also, how much rep you get per +rep depends on who reps you, not how much you have. So even though I have over 1000 rep points, if Conan reps me, I'll get ten more. If Conan reps you, you'd get ten more.

You be a moderator if we make you a moderator. We (the staff—mods and admins) decide when to make new ones and who they are. Please don't pester us about it, it doesn't work (not saying you are, of course, just giving a warning). :)

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I'm not pestering you...I just ask questions as stated above and my wish wouldn't be a mod because it would sure have lots of responcibilities :)
EDIT:I have this question: why only use 25 max PMS?

I didn't know that it was set to a number. I thought it was relative...

Also, there IS a limit; all you'd have to do is set it to such a high number that the integer would be too big for a computer to process, and the server would go down like a paper airplane doused with water...

EDIT:
wewt 500 posts

No advantages, no disadvantages really. You disable your rep, for whatever reason you did.

BUT...

Only Administrators have this option. Not even a Super Moderator can Disable his reputation.

Phyrex1an is the only person, I believe, to disable his rep.


I hope this helps :)

Why is that and at most recent evenings I can't enter the Helper?

Its becuase of high loads. The helper said that this site runs ona server with 2 other large forum sites like this one, and i can imagine it straining a server with that many people on at once. evenings=rush hours i guess.

Don't spread this out though-it will make people morning=rush our (and morning is MY hour, lol)
And again, how can you attach thumballs on posts? (never done it before)

as your posting, go down to the bottom and you will see a tab thing labeled "additional options."

bellow that find the "manage attachments" button, and when u hit it, it will open a window in which you can upload files as attachments. if it is a picture file, it will show up as a thumbnail:

  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!

    Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @The Helper I'm really not seeing the "Signature" link in the sidebar on that page. Here's a screenshot:
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I have reported it - I was wondering why nobody I have given sigs to over the last few years have used them
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Here is a better place to manage this stuff https://www.thehelper.net/account/account-details which I think should be way more visible
