Help Using the AVSIM Forums Latest Topicshttps://dev.avsim.com/forums/forum/312-help-using-the-avsim-forums/Help Using the AVSIM Forums Latest TopicsenGoogle Chrome and Avsimhttps://dev.avsim.com/forums/topic/691163-google-chrome-and-avsim/ Is it just me or is there a problem with this site and Google Chrome?  I have the latest version installed but can't access any topics using Chrome but no issues with Microsoft Edge.

This has only happened in the last few days and every time I try to access a topic I get an Error saying:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

All of the other websites and forums I use on Chrome seem to be fine.

I've tried cropping the image, resizing the image and converting the image to jpg but the file size is still too large.  The smallest I can get it is 320 kb and I have no idea how to decrease the file size any further without destroying the image quality.

I have made 8 or 9 posts now and STILL need someone to approve my posts? Kind of embarrassing and unnecessary. I am obviously not a bot. How many more posts do I need before I am trusted to post on my own?

Sorry..but I am not a kid or a bot and it is kinda strange after this many posts I am still not trusted.

New around here.
Looking for that "Contact Form for Help with the AVSIM Forums" and i kinda lost...
Is this should be the place for it?
Also the description of the thread says that i can't post there until 15 comments or until an admin allows it but i can't see almost nothing there too [2 topics from the admins and a singular sale post].
Is this normal?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Quick question: sometimes, when reading a topic in which some replies are quoting another reply from another member, I see this quoted message displayed in a foreign language, even though the original message was written in English. Last time, the quote was in Spanish, for example. Is this linked to any setting of the forum ?

]]>661895Tue, 14 Jan 2025 08:24:37 +0000Notifications only gone after accessing it twicehttps://dev.avsim.com/forums/topic/659504-notifications-only-gone-after-accessing-it-twice/ Since quite a long time already, I think since the forum update Notifications always come back once.

Example:
1. I am reading a topic and see a notification.
2. I go to the bell icon, click on it and go to the post I received the notification for.
3. The notification is gone.
4. I read the topic and go back to the main index: the exact same notification appears again.

So I ALWAYS have to click twice on the bell icon on two different screens before the notification disappears completely.

I have this on my PC, on a Mac and on my smartphone so it seems a forum software bug?
