+ 11 NEW SITE QUESTIONS
There is so much new, I'm sure you're lost and confused. Ask away, I'll do my best to answer here.
KARMA EXPLAINED
Points distribution is based on contribution with different modifiers.
Even if you don't like it, this was a much needed change, karma circlejerking and whoring for promos was a problem with the previous setup. A lot of high level badges were earned "illegally".
Users were granted when karma was being recalculated and distributed:
- 1 Comment karma for every 10 comments.
- 1 Review karma for 5 reviews.
- 1 Pic karma for 5 pics.
- 1 Forum karma for 5 forum posts.
- 1 Group karma for 5 group posts.
- 1 Karma for 1 cycle log.
- 1 karma for 10 news posts.
Since launch, new rules are in effect:
- 1 Karma when post or comment is up/down voted.
- 1 Review Karma when a Review is submitted.
- 1 Pic Karma when pic is submitted.
- 1 Forum Kama when forum post is submitted.
- 1 Cycle Karma for a cycle submitted.
- 1 News Karma for submitted news.

Choose which one you want from the selection above then type the exact thing you see to it on the left where you want it to be placed. Remembering the : either side
@press1 you can type :welldone: in comments by prefixing \, like this \:welldone:
works for bold text and other markup, **bold text**
:welldone: Aah yes - I see what you mean so they can see what to type without it displaying the smiley!
It was nice to be able to see the number of PM a source had.
It's still buggy as in it'll in some cases count unread PMs from deleted users too, so I'm reluctant to release that as it is.
BigCactusI noticed you can see detailed profile info, including using the tracking function, seeing what pictures they posted of users without even being a member here. Shouldn't that be shielded from non-members?
user profiles are not accessible to anonymous users anymore.
StevebNo more tags? Expert, BAN, NEW, whatever?
@Steveb, only new, pro, mod, adm for now. More coming when I figure out how to tag users and what kind of badges to assign. I wanna avoid cases where a user with a 10yo comment history can be tagged EXP for basically shitposting in offtopic.
Maybe a user to user voting system... and let the community decide who is worthy of a shiny badge instead of an algorithm.
so latest in, if you tag a user by typing @ before a username like this @BFG, the tagged user gets a pm with a link to the content or comment he was mentioned in
It shows up in the new 'Mentions' tab also next to the security tab
How to post update to cycle log?
Update your current cycle post. We don't have a separate "cycle update" posts anymore.
How come I cant post pics anymore?
Click on your profile logo in the top right-hand corner. In the menu choose "submit
I find this look very appealing but we will all have to get used to it a bit to make it easier to use. There is still a lot of work to be done. Good luck to all.
So I literally went from over 300 karma down to 87? I don't think that can be correct in any way, I was never part of any circlejerk upvoting and I used to one of the most active members on the site (almost been here 10 years now).
Not that the karma really matters, what's much worse is that all PMs have disappeared. I have been way less active lately due to lockdowns and the inability to train, but following my email inbox for PMs I have received it just takes me to an error page.
I really feel like everyone who shot me a PM is still owed a response. Guess the PMs aren't coming back, are they?
-Messaging glitches or is not working properly.
-karma is correct. It's adjusted to right parameters.
-i can't update my cycle log. With updates
What's the issue?
Update your current cycle post. We don't have a separate "cycle update" posts anymore.
@BFG thanks.
I mean I have sent several.messages to store. And half of them was not even delivered. I noticed that after long silence from source. They have not received messages as they say only notification that I have sent message. But not mesage it self. I keep observing this..
Brother they have halved everyone's karma, evidently it is a new rule that we all have to participate in.
It's good that we're all starting again together.
Old PMs are gone. We had a notification up for days. Karma was completely reworked, see post above.
Hi BFG - There is something wrong with the AShop SI. Both me and Dobermann are unable to leave a comment on it - it comes up with an Error prompt.
What's the error when you try to access https://www.eroids.com/sourcetalk/AShop.in
After trying to post a comment it says:
An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
HTTP Result Code: 500
Debugging information follows.
Path: / System / Ajax
StatusText: error
ResponseText:
fixed
DobermannIs there srs discussions ?i cant find it lol
On mobile, click your profile image top right, click Source Talk.
On desktop click Sources, click Source Talk.
are we still able to see pictures posted on a sources review page like before? if so how?
@Dezmondleon just added latest 12 pics submitted for a source in reviews.
You can now submit an image when writing a review, it will be displayed at the bottom of your text.
Do we no longer receive email notifications on replies to comments?
Edit- found the setting on my homepage.
What's up with the new site structure? I don't care bout KARMA and pictures etc. I just want to know which sites are publicly vetted and in what respective order from top to bottom. It was a great site for that. I trust the public "BRO" vetting more than the mainstream medical industry which we all know is an absolute fraud. Is there a way to navigate this new sight to see which suppliers are currently in good standing and their ranking from top to bottom???? ex. top hgh suppliers. Any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Homepage lists top 10 from left to right.
When you click Reviews button, accesible from your profile-menu icon, they're listed top to bottom.
Filters are availabe for further sorting by source category and headquarters.
Where can we find pictures posted from products ordered from a specific site ???
RustyhookerYa...home button lists em in order.
Im lost, lol. Is there still a source discussion page that is sorted by new?
And is there a list of all sources? Im looking for one in particular and like I said im lost. Lol.
RustyhookerClick your picture top right....all options pop up
Not sure how I missed that. Got it now. Thanks!
My account went from Advanced (400+ karma) to 350. Is that intentional?
Okay, make that 100 less than before the site shift, per the karma listed on this post.
I have my answer. Should have read more. I didn’t realize it was weighting the previous points I accumulated.
Bwhitley324Thank you so much for explaining this to us newbies.
Bigun2Thank you for adding tracking back. It makes the site much more easy to navigate.
May we have the Heartbeat or Pulse function back? I’m not sure if I’m calling it by the appropriate name but I used to be able to log on and go there to see most recently commented on posts. It’s how I “found” everyone and saw what we were talking about that day.
If one is logging on 37 times a day you can easily go there to discern what you’ve missed while you were away.
@Bigun2 here is a direct link http://www.eroids.com/pulse, you won't be able to find a button on the website yet.
AnonBFG, when looking at gear pics the link to the source is not clickable. You can't click it and it go to the source's page.
can we still use markdown?
Ok cool. Just gotta take it outta my profile description I guess.
Hi BFG - Please can we have our Tags back under our name again like before?
I need to feel special again and also to wind up Molinin Lol
