When you first start helping here you cannot change the title under your name. Once you have helped out in the forums for a while and get enough reputation (around 100) we will allow you to have a Custom Title and you will be in a group called Special Members viewable on the Forum Leaders page. Special Membership also comes with 5 meg of forum attachment space. You can also upload an animated avatar as long as it fits the size requirement. Thanks for Helping!

A list over those able to customize their titles would be a good idea, so there still is a bit of 1337'ness to being able to customize it, we do like to feel mighty special ;) :p

Well, saying 'Welcome' doesn't fits in this situation, so I will say:

Congratulations, guys! Have fun with the custom titles! I wonder how much will take them to discover this new stuff :D

No, I am not a mod. I have been rewarded with a sig because I am active and helpful, as The Helper told me. I saw that some other users have sigs, too, without being mods...

so...
After I made a mistake and got banned for some days, my ex-SM privileges were taken...that means I'm not being helpful?

He means the custom title stuff, I believe. He can't change his.

Anyway, it may be a result from you getting banned. When you do, your user status is switched to Banned User. Maybe when it switched you out of that, it put you back in Registered Members, instead of the "Special Member" status, which is now just to allow custom titles.

Might wanna wait for TH to decide, though. For all I know, this is further punishment for whatever got you banned in the first place.

admin tools enabled on owner threads (open, close, move etc.)

Due to the fact that we've done away with the majority of SM powers, no one but Mods and Admins have those abilities now. Even if you were given the SM status back, you still wouldn't be able to do this. No ex-SM can.

The SM demotion had to do with most if not all the former SM members. Not any single member. You were banned due to an issue with Acehart, I believe. You had nothing to do with SM goin' down.
 
General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
