Technical Support and Advertisement Issues
This thread is where you should post if you need Technical Support with SnitchSeeker, if you have any inappropriate or annoying advertisements to report, or if you experience strange glitches onsite. When SS is likely to experience downtime, updates will be posted in this first post. Posts may be moved here from The Question Thread if they need to be addressed by the technical support team, or if its a technical issue that we're currently still working on solving. Newbies and Members may report any technical issues here. Please include screenshots where possible, as well as links to any specific onsite locations where you are having the issue.

Before you post about an issue in this thread, please be sure you've checked this first post and give this thread a quick browse before reporting your technical issue to see if has already been solved in the most recent pages!

Please refrain answering questions if you are not a moderator or administrator of SnitchSeeker.com
It's not that we mind you helping; quite the opposite is true actually. It's more that mods are trained to know the up-to-date answers, the whole answers, and have the ability to check things not everyone is able, particularly in regard to reporting technical issues and advertisements, as this is not always an instant fix. As a member, if you DO know the answer or can provide help to a question that a fellow member asks, you can always VM them to let them know, but please don't post in this thread unless you have a question and need help yourself.

How to take a Screenshot

SPOILER!!: How to take a screenshot

This website gives instructions for taking a screenshot for Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and iPhone/iPad/iPod. You can also download browser apps and extensions for Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox for taking screenshots under the 'Websites' tab on this link.

How to make SS faster

SPOILER!!: How to speed up browsing on SS

• Most Drastic: Choose the "SS lite" skin (bottom left of every page). This removes all graphics and colors from the design and gives you a plain, black & white + links, PDA-friendly version.
• Remove Siggies and Avatars: In your "User CP" (User Control Panel - link on top left of each forum page), edit your settings to not show avatars or signatures. (Default for newer members is now set not to show siggies.)

Please do your best to contribute to fast pages by making sure you only use Avatars and images (in your siggie) that are minimal in Kb. Follow the rules and we'll all be fine!

Problems logging in

SPOILER!!: Problems logging in

Lost Password
My Username doesn't work!
I haven't received my account activation code!

• Please make sure you keep your email address current. If you signed up with a different email address to what you are currently using, or one you no longer have access to, it makes it difficult for you to easily troubleshoot problems you may have with logging in.
• If you have recently changed your username be aware that you need to sign in with your NEW username and not your old one.
• Passwords are case sensitive.
• Ensure that the url has 'https://' before the 'www.snitchseeker.com'. This often will fix any issues that may be had with attempting to log in and failing when you know that your username and password are correct.
• If you cannot log in and have no access to your registered email address (and therefore can't recover your password yourself), please use the contact us form. Please do not create a new account as that is against our multiple account rules, and we CAN help you recover your original account if you let us know.

Something Looks Broken!

SPOILER!!: Something looks broken

If you're browsing on SS and suddenly find that the forum looks somehow broken or incorrect, it may be because the admins are working on fixing something. If after a short while it is still not looking right you are free to report your issue here. This might be a site-wide issue (such as a broken menu, a link that doesn't go anywhere, broken tables, or code visible where it shouldn't be, broken images) or it might be something that only effects a single user (like incorrect or broken usertitles or missing linebreaks or coding in your postbit -the area under your username), or perhaps a member that appears to be in the newbie usergroup. Usually any changes here are double checked so please give us a few minutes before you report a usertitle problem - we might have caught it and fixed it ourselves by the time you get to posting

How to report something broken:
When reporting something broken, please include the following in your post:
1) A screenshot of the problem
2) The link to where you are seeing the problem (especially if it is in a particular place ie on a specific member's profile)
3) A description of the problem
4) Any other relevant information

Inappropriate or broken advertisements

SPOILER!!: Inappropriate or broken advertisements

You should post in this thread about any advertisements that may be inappropriate (they just aren't SS-friendly or redirect or seem to cause issues). We try to carefully monitor ads but, a lot of times certain ads are directed at just a certain area and we won't always notice them all.

Likewise, if an advertisement overlaps with the forums or makes your navigation experience difficult please let us know. With that said, we do know how some of the ads force the menus behind them and there isn't really anything we can do about that. Should you encounter one of these ads and you need to use the drop down menus at the top of the screen (ie: the sections menu) your best bet is to just reload the page and hope for a better ad. If it is a persistent issue, then by all means report it here.

While you are free to use adblock etc we ask that you do not do so on SS unless you are having a particular issue as advertisements provide revenue toward the running of the site - allowing advertisements is the easiest way you can support SS.

How to report a problem ad
When reporting a problem ad, please include the following in your post:
1) General region you are located (country and/or state)
2) A screenshot of the ad
3) What the problem is with the ad
4) If your computer is attacked, what information does your antivirus software give you?
5) Any other relevant information

Please note, that this issue is being addressed. Thanks for posting about it but we don't need more posts saying the same thing right now. If you have something NEW to say feel free to post though. We will update when we can.
