News BIG Forum Update #1 2026

[Giga-Dunk]

HI! Wasnt sure where else to ask this, so my apologies if this isnt the place, but how does one send a direct message? I understand that some people have the feature turned off, but I hovered over a lot of different users names and didnt see the options anywhere at all. Thanks in advance

thank you for the update, then for the off-topic question, but are video edits (especially on YouTube section) allowed? (slow motion, color correction, etc.)

Am I missing where the option is to delete your own comments? Is this a thing?

I'm getting 'new post' notifications for threads, but those people have blocked me! LOL Can y'all fine tune this? It used to work well with 'Ignored' members.

Okay, so I must say I loved the changes to the forum in theory, but some stuff happened and it made me realise that the new two-way blocking system sucks ass. Twice now I got blocked for leaving a comment under a post and pointing out it's breaking the rules or that the content is fake. I tend to do that instead of straight away reporting somebody, especially when I'm not sure if they're knowingly breaking the rules and stuff. But... now I literally can't report a post in any way because the author blocked me and poof, every single post of theirs is invisible. I'm not sure if it's intended or just a side effect of the change, but I wish this two-way system gets removed/reversed for the reason I pointed out alone.

SMG-Admin Any update on how we set which photo is the thumbnail of the threads we've created?

I used to ignore users who spam low quality content to avoid constant notifications from them, while still being able to read their posts when visiting a thread. Occasionally they do contribute something useful. Ignored replies were hidden and could be shown with a single button, which worked well imo. By doing this, instead of being notified for every post, their activity was effectively bundled until someone else replied.

But that's only replies inside a thread. As far as I can tell, when looking for new threads, entire threads are hidden if they were started by blocked users. This makes it impossible to see or access new threads, which I don't think I need to verbalize why that's bad.

Please restore the “show ignored or blocked” button.
