Can the "mark all read" button have a confirmation dialog? Accidentally clicked it but did not intend to.

no please don't or if at all, make it an option in the user settings to decide, if you want an extra step there.
I use that button a lot and it would be annoying as hell to have to click twice.

When someone gets banned it's probably a good idea to nuke their signature.

I found a very simple compromise:

If you accidently click it, you have 2 minutes to click undo, no extra confirmations.

Edit: Done and in live.

Yeah, I guess that's just sensible. I will do that.

Done; also applies to temporary suspensions.

This is really nice.

Thank you!

Really no use for it, but I have to admire the work!!

Not sure if it was mentioned before, but can we fix the HH:30 time zones? For eg, I'm currently in +5:30 but the timestamps will be showing +5

Aehh, India, I guess.

One feature I'd love to see is better filtering for VPS offers, especially by region and network type.

I run several small VPS instances for self-hosted services and automation, and I often look for specific setups like IPv6-only, NAT VPS, or low-cost servers in APAC locations.

It would be really helpful if offer threads could have a few standardized tags, such as region, IPv4/IPv6 availability, NAT, and billing period. Being able to filter or search by these tags would make finding relevant deals much easier.

Nothing too complicated, just a small improvement that could save a lot of time for people comparing low-end hosting options.

That is coming, there will be a preview of it for black Friday deals very soon

Because of exclusive @ShockHosting code being leaked on nodeseek, (probably stupid random thoughts) how about....
LET supplies a 'customised' url to sellers, directing to a proxy.
The proxy checks the referrer i.e. that it is the LET IP/range/api or whatever security is needed and forwards to the unpublished 'secret' url supplied by seller. Access not via LET is blocked and sellers secret url is not published.

Yeah there are a few ideas like this as well as custom voucher redemtion portals etc etc but ultimatley none of them stop people from just posting it manually elsewhere once they have the details and I think, maybe, I could be wrong, but we are probably focusing on the wrong thing when playing whack a mole.

Ultimately, commercial sellers want sales; they don't care THAT much where they come from, if LES is a great place to post it first even as an exclusive if that gets syndicated out so be it, making it exclusive keeps many eyes on this forum and improves this forum as a central resource.

Maybe trying to prevent it is a never ending fight and might not be the right fight, if sellers really do really want it to be exclusive to here, thats really going to have to be on them, I guess what I could do is make a coupon code loader so they can drop 1000 codes in and each user gets a different one, I am happy to do that, but I know for a fact WHMCS and Hostbill and Blesta dont support this as standard.

30-minute-offset time zones blew your mind? I thought these were relatively common to come across due to being used in India, Sri Lanka, and parts of Australia.
45-minute-offset time zones, on the other hand... just a bunch of obscure islands, tiny Aussie towns, and Nepal.

@AnthonySmith Convert everything to UTC and leave it there. People can live with it or fix it on their own damn time.

@AnthonySmith I keep seeing the new label on viewed threads.

And just to cover the absolutley obvious... as we have a lot of new members giving low grade shitty answers to get embedded before black friday do they have new posts? i.e. did you actually view the new post?

also.. Anyone else having this, I cant replicate. ??

davide

Checked: all the threads labeled new are not in my browser's history, I must have already read those offer threads from the other gay forum.

Fix it anyway!

Welp OGF isn't even going to be read the same.

frodothebearer

Unsure if it's been suggested, but for mobile layout, you have to actually click your profile picture for the dropdown to become visible to find out if you have any unread notifications. I think it should show the notification badge on your profile picture if you have any unread notifications.

The other... implies this is also a g... my god, places full of sinners.

I should have guessed when we started calling ourselves LESbians.

I'd like to suggest adding specific tags or filters for server types in the offers section, such as 'Storage' or 'High Bandwidth'. It would make finding the right boxes so much easier for those of us with specific needs. Really hope this is something the team can consider!

I like more, if new members first read some threads and interact after 24-48 hours.

I see this user purchased 1 of the limited edition Shock Hosting badges brining stock down by 1 to 159 from 160, but he was banned, still has the badge and stock is still 159. What do y'all think that if a user gets banned permanently, the limited stock badges should be removed and stock should replenish? Or maybe just remove and not replenish stock since they are limited edition?

WSS

It's a badge. You don't remove a tattoo when some jackass dies with dicks on his lips.

Hi, I just read through the updated rules. I noticed the rule about multiple accounts. If someone's previous account was banned, what's the proper way to appeal or request permission to return? I'd like to make sure I follow the rules.

Just refer to rule 1 and I am sure there won't be any issues

Hi, thanks for your reply!

I'm actually very new to hosting communities, so I was a bit confused about how everything works here. It was only today that I started to understand the forum better.

I discovered LES yesterday through Shock Hosting. I'm really sorry that I didn't fully understand the community rules and ended up getting my first account banned.

My previous account was reina0721, and my current account is hinasakireina.

I emailed the LES admin address yesterday but haven't received a reply yet. I understand you may be busy.

Could you please advise me on what I should do now? Should I appeal to restore my old account, or can I continue using this one with your permission?

I'm sorry for the trouble, and I'd really appreciate your guidance. Thank you!

I know the category list has been mentioned before, but right now it takes two clicks to open. Could it be moved somewhere accessible with a single click, for instance, at the very top (next to "Providers" or "Blog")?

In the profile picture section "Upload New Picture" button text is not visible in dark mode until the mouse hovers over it.
