I have avoided posting here in a while, but this has been grinding my gears for a while now and I need a good vent on the topic. I've always identified as very much on the left side of politics, despite my love for firearms, meat and a few other things that my other friends seem to look down on. But otherwise I have always been very liberal about issues. But I find myself now frustrated at what I am seeing taking shape. Thanks to hipsters and tumblr, there is now a very large group of militant left-wing ideas becoming extremely popular. And many of them I find myself wanting to distance myself from. Feminism was a great movement, it was something that was needed for ages. And the second wave movement in the middle half of the 20th century was imperative for progression and equality. There were real violations in gender equality and women were treated lower than human. I am proud of the women who fought for those rights. Though this brings us to now... Thanks to the tumblr generation of hipsters, who spreads messages of ideological revolution via micro-blogs. We now find ourselves suffering an influx of third wave feminism that focuses on issues that shouldn't even be issues. You will find blogs about how children's cartoon shows are sexist because the females in the shows do female things, and wear pink. God forbid that there be a difference in gender, despite the completely different genetic make-up! I remember reading a blog post about My Little Pony where the author stated the show was both sexist and racist, because some of the guard ponies serving the princess were of a darker shade of grey. And because it perpetuated the idea that girls just wanted to be princesses and let us not forget the mention of the oppressive monarchy the ponies find themselves in! It is this type of thinking that is becoming more and more prevalent each day. And it's driving me insane. In the past 3 days I have seen 5 Facebook posts and 3 websites discussing how women should stop shaving their pubic hair. Not how it's okay for one to make their own choice about it, but actively and with open bias expressing how women should do it. They either exaggerate the risks involved (which exist for shaving ones face most of the time too), or they try use how it's oppressive peer pressure from society that's causing women to shave. On this topic, I believe grooming should be completely up to an individual and their partner. Personally, I find getting a mouth full of hair tends to destroy the moment and I'm not a big fan of picking in my teeth during sexual intercourse. The same way though that I extend the same courtesy to my girlfriend, who luckily sees this the same way I do. I read an article yesterday stating that more and more women 'couldn't be bothered' to shave. Now that's fair enough one has the right to not be bothered to do stuff. But I can assure you that if I wasn't bothered to cut my nails for a few weeks, the same women who are now shouting in victory for the liberation of pubic hair, would be the ones saying "Gross, you should cut your nails". This movement extends far further than just the decoration on your body though. This same movement has been seeking to find issues where issues do not exist, if a white man insults a black man it's automatically a racist issue and we need to start a riot. And I am one who strongly believes there is a lot of racial oppression that still takes place, and depending where you're located in the world, it could be white or it could be black. And I completely support the idea of doing away with that. My problem however is that these tumblrites people do not want to address the real issues. Instead they would prefer to try and find hints of inequality where it doesn't exist and then make an animated gif about it. There is a reason why many of the 2nd wave feminist veterans hate the third wave movement. Because they see it as though women achieved the goals they sought out to achieve in becoming an equal gender. They see the modern third wave as damaging to the feminist movement because it's no longer seeking equality, it's seeking inequality by moving it in the opposite realm of the oppression they had. Instead, looking to give women 'special rights'. I should note that I also believe there are areas where the treatment of women does need to be addressed. But at this point in time, my main issue with these tumblrites morons is that they would sooner fight for the representation of women outside of a 'gender role' in cartoons. Than they would fight for the fact that women in some Middle Eastern countries are undergoing real oppression and suffering. It seems selfish and a kick in the face to the feminist movement itself. These actions, which are becoming more and more prevalent now. Have lead me to want to escape the tag of a liberal and in areas where I used to consider myself a fairly militant far-left liberal I now feel like I'm being nudged closer to the middle. Not because of any change in my view, but the left is pushing so far that they're turning from set of ideals and beliefs into a set of ultimate bat-shit crazies. That's not to say that doesn't happen on the other side at the far end of the right too, because it certainly does, in polar opposite. It feels like instead of people coming towards a center point where rationality is aligned with the realization of real issues that exist. We find the spectrum of right and left politics moving further and further into the extremes on either side. Though who knows, maybe it's required to scare us sane people towards that center point. TL;DR - People are idiots.

This is something we worked on before and fixed for the phones we tested with. I will take another look at this, but we implemented a media-query that hid the social media toolbar if the screen was a mobile browser width. Can you let me know what browser the phone uses? And what model phone it is. This may help in getting it resolved.

Hey guys, We at Dropzone.com are looking for some raw video footage. If you have 3 or 4 jump videos you took that you would like to see an edit made of. Fire me a PM and I can provide you with more info.

This should be resolved now.

Massive bump here, but I've got your back FlyingRhenquest. Except for the massive spoiler in the title! I used to be one of those that would assume that MLP:FIM was like the old gens and solely a little girl's show. But the current FIM series is awesome. My girlfriend and I watch it all the time. You got to fight, for your right, to pony.

Hey, Thanks for alerting us to this bug. We'll be sure to take a look at it and try and get it resolved as quick as possible.

Not a bad idea, it may make sense. I'll take it down in our suggestions and enhancements spreadsheet to look at in more depth.

Thanks for the heads up! We'll add 2014 to the list today.

The following user has been reported as a scammer. The user has been linked to other usernames which were also advertising scam ads on dropzone.com. Be careful as these sellers are sometimes able to provide extra images for the items they're 'selling' and appear legitimate. Again be suspicious of broken English, especially when the seller claims to be from a native English speaking country. Do not do business with the following username: Username: bethel Below is an example of a the e-mail they have been sending out to users: On 19-Oct-2013 someone submitted their contact information in response to your ad in the Dropzone.com Classifieds. Please reply to this email to contact the person directly. Username => bethel Name => Mary FromEmail => [email protected] City => Waubun Country => USA Comments => I have the requested item in good condition. reply if you still have interest

Ah right, gotcha. The response remains the same though, the ability to roll things up will likely only be done when they have children categories visible directly under. For example, we would end up rolling up a single line, only removing minimal space usage :)

The attachments system is there because certain users may not want them embedded, especially in cases where there are several attachments. But we do offer the ability to insert an image into a post, in certain forum categories. If it's supported in the forum category, you can use the shortcode [Inline attachment_name.jpeg] For example.

Are you referring to hiding the threads themselves? If so, I don't think we will implement a thread hiding option as threads are by default 'rolled up' in the standard forum view mode.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I've disabled their username in the forums.

A good idea, I think that it would work very well. At this stage, I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement given the way the current review system works. But I've added the idea to the development spreadsheet and will be taking a look at it in more detail and see if it's something that can be done now or something we will need to include in a future update.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's definitely something that we've been looking into and been discussing. It will certainly be implemented in some form in the future.

Also noticed it this time... I have forwarded an e-mail to those in charge with getting it removed. We'll work on getting them gone ASAP.

Hi, The reason for that, is that those ads are from paying users. Ads that have been paid for as a featured ad will be listed above the free listings.

Loving GTA V. It's more of an experience than a game, the character building in the beginning of their introductions is amazing. I think I'm about 40% complete with the game. Trevor is awesome I'm looking forward to the GTA Online multiplayer aspect, as soon as they get their servers running properly. I guess that is what a few million people trying to log on at the same time on release day will do.

The issue you are describing is related to the way our CMS checks for new links. A link can either have an isNew field or an isChanged field, and the problem is that as soon as a link is modified it turns off the isNew field and turns on the isChanged. Which creates the problem. We're currently working at looking how we can fix this - will keep you updated.

I've gone and added it to the advanced search form.
