The Information Desk: Ask questions about the site here!

If a user is banned, does it show it as a "recent activity" if they have logged in at all? I noticed a user that has been banned for some time now still has a "Recent Activity" display.

When they visit the site it'll log their activity time from what I can ascertain. They just can't do anything at all while they are under a ban.
 
Signature question: What's the maximum height that my signature can be at if I'm planning to add a spoiler button below it? From what I read, the spoiler button takes up 50 pixels so that should mean your maximum height for an image signature is 200 pixels, but I've been warned about my signature before (I accidentally forgot to factor in the spoiler height + the image was over the limit by 1 pixel, whoops) so I just want to be extra sure that I don't end up messing up again. Thanks!

Spoiler shouldn't be THAT big. Your sig should be fine right now, just contact a mod or admin just to make sure.

I did some tests with screencaps, and if you factor in the space between an image and the top of the spoiler button, the height is around 40 pixels. If you include the space that comes after the spoiler, you get around 65 pixels. If you select JUST the spoiler, you get about 25 pixels. If you select JUST the blank space that's above and below the spoiler, you get between 18 - 21 pixels.

What does all this mean? I honestly don't know and I'm pretty confused by what the FAQ says and what I'm getting when I measure these out. Hopefully a mod will clear this up, but until then I'm just gonna stay safe with my new signature and wait for a confirmation before adding a spoiler button.
 
The rules state that "posts which 'bump' an inactive thread from an extended period of time ago, unless the topic is still relevant" are prohibited. What's the amount of time that needs to pass from the last post date before a thread is dead and can no longer be posted in? On a few other forums I've been on, they've enforced a limit of no thread reviving after 1 month/3 months, but this isn't made clear in the rules here. Well, it's either that or I managed to miss it somehow.

About a month.
 
About a month.

If they were more relevant or helpful, that would be acceptable. Take for instance, let's say that the new What's bothering you thread stopped getting replies for three months. It would still be relevant since that's an official thread for discussing frustrations. Same for generally popular threads. But for smaller discussuons like "what's your favorite bender from Avatar" or "do you think Disney is going downhill" or anything like that, I believe they would be irrelevant once they die down.

I need more clarification on what's considered relevant or irrelevant.
 
Any idea on when the new mods will be announced and the second Apple restock? Sorry if this seems kinda naggy :p

Soon. Within August.

Apple restock will happen when the sun sets in the east and rises in the west.
 
What do you do with eggs? From the Easter thing. I was looking at something before in the shop and I noticed that is said I had two eggs. Do they do anything or...? Are they meant to show up somewhere? Or purely just for novelty?

they were the currency for the easter event, so are useless now.
the reason you have 2 eggs is probably because you had 2 eggs left over form this years easter event, and the staff haven't reset them yet.
