i have no idea what this “macintosh” is

It's the user agent detection name when you browse from a device that is either a Mac or an iOS.

problem solved for now, but a few minutes ago i got this problem the site didn’t accept my password even tho i changed it a few days ago and i use auto filling so there is no way i wrote it wrong. after a few tries it told me “your account has been blocked, try again after 14 minutes”. thankfully i used the same e-mail the site sent me a few days ago and changed the password again now. question is, why did this happen? is it a known problem? or could it happen again?

When you visits your own profile, it also counts as a profile view. Keep reloading the page and you'll see.

not sure how big of an issue this is but on some devices, you can’t accept the “gta forums blah blah policy” or whatever that is if you’re not signed in

YEE

 

Can anybody tell me what this "YEE" reaction is supposed to mean?

 

Is it a good or a bad thing? We already had "like" which is a good thing, only a "dislike" option was missing but we got a "YEE", which looks like a positive reaction to me.

 

Is "YEE" some sort of "Yeah"? . . . I don't get it . . . . I'm old!

 

If so why? That's just two positive reactions meaning no real choice (other than the choice of regular or silly "like").

If I might attempt to answer this somewhat seriously, the "yee" phenomenon is a meme that gained traction in 2014. It's source is a knock-off cartoon from the well-known The Land Before Time franchise. It gained popularity for its shoddy animation, flat but cheery jingle and an equally lifeless, meaningless response in the form of a dinosaur saying "yee". I assume he's either trying to continue the song or utter an agreement. Whilst its use is ironic, "yee" can be described as a general acknowledgement of something, though I would assume it to be mostly positive. I do hope I'm not pulling back the curtain too much here, but I can't give away the full scope of "yee". Not yet.

Thanks Rhoda. I'm still pretty clueless as I've never seen or heard of any of that before.

Fair enough on the quoted part.

 

If it's not something "behind the curtain" - Could we get a dislike reaction please? It's not often I'd want one but sometimes ....

GRRRR!

@NugsyIf you want to learn some of the background of the actual company involved in this, I'd recommend this video :
 

 

 

As for the actual emote, it is mostly positive, more 'I agree with this post' than anything else.  It wouldn't be good to add a truly negative emote to this forum, there's too many old arguments and rivalries under the surface.

[Rhoda]

There will always be trouble with adding the equivalent of a dislike button on a forum like this. It opens the floodgates for abuse, as little as it might really mean deep down, it wouldn't be a true reflection on a post or topic's reception. Even ironic and sarcastic options would be difficult.

I got an issue where I can't remove quotes from my post

 

Regarding emotes, I would suggest adding things such as ❤(feels) ℹ(informative) and (funny) just to name a few

[Spider-Vice]

You can normally remove quotes if you select it and hit backspace. I think it should work the same on mobile. As for emoji, we do have support for your regular mobile emojis which include the heart and the info icon.

 

 

[Bob Loblaw_]

Adding to what the guy said above, on mobile, you can't erase quotes and tags. If you want to erase, you have to reload the page and hit clear editor.

I mean as a reaction button, would be pretty good IMO

 

Also I noticed that tagged user can't be removed and also can be glitchy if I tried to select it
