Sorry these haven't been as regular as before, there are a LOT of things on the to do list and a number of things being completed.
This is actually stuff that has been released little by little the last few weeks. - Staff and Mod changes (As you have probably noticed!) Many thanks to those who have joined up to receive a lot of grief to help the community out. There are a few more changes on the table I believe, so please welcome new mods and staff as they join the ranks! - Amazon Linking fixed. - User profile bug fixed. - image bug fixed. (link issue) - increased file upload size limit. - increased "my board" limit. - increased staff mention limit to 25 per post. (Only staff increase.) - new icons ready for GOA, SAF, Ham Crew (Yes I said it.) - upgrades to site content engine for authors (coming soon!) - upgrades and finally an IG fix for new info/company pages (also coming soon!) - removed the NRA recruitment link - fixed twitter embed bug. - misc fixes (styles, spelling, etc.) MOBILE USERS - Menu image now will show an icon over it when you have new IM messages. That's just about all from this update. More to come as there is a lot being finished up! |

| Can you remove the Facebook associated ad network tracking script? I can’t help but notice I viewed a post about nuclear reactor cooling during power loss events here earlier today and suddenly Facebook is feeding me ads with “nuclear power” as key phrases. You're essentially telling Facebook every post we look at which is really cool. |

The more likely scenario (and the one that's actually happening here because that's what FB does) is they're tracking you through browser cookies and like buttons, Facebook 3rd party logins, etc. Nothing to do with Arfcom in particular. |
And now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers spreading from the east with an expected high of 4000 degrees Celsius.

Still say you need a quick clock feature that will ignore all posts except for OPs post in a thread so people can quickly catch up on a multi-page thread without having to scroll through every page looking for highlighted posts.
Thanks for the continued work. Edit: https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/A-way-to-view-only-OP-posts-in-a-thread/2-2181934/ |

Edit: I do this crap for a living and know when I’ve been noticed by an ad network from a search or content I’ve browsed. Either Facebook completely broke its internal ad system and its coincidentally gave me an ad with keywords highly associated with the niche topic I was browsing only on arf com 5 minutes prior or the arf com ad script is exchanging data with facebooks ad system. |

None should be doing this, but the top network is running a new system. We can reach out to them once we know where the issue is. I have no clue what ad networks Facebook has their fingers in these days, but assume it’s 25%+. And it’s not always readily apparent who they own or have a stake in for data sharing. This is why I suggested that tedious process to zero in on it manually. |
I see the Ham Crew icon has a point of contact. Still no point of contact for SAF or GOA? I'm trying to get to 37 pieces of flair!!!
