@frostycab Oooooh! I thought @femboyfurryowo 's comment was a typing error.

@theboysina Unless it has recently changed, when you PM a user they WILL be able to see who you are. The message will only actually send if either they accept PM's from everyone, or they have their settings to friends only, AND have put you on their friends list. Whether you will be able to see who they are depends entirely on how you sent the PM. If you sent the PM to them the "normal" way by responding to a PM they sent you, or by going to their profile and pressing the button there, then you will both be able to see who the messages are going to/from. This changes however when you upload a user by pressing the button to send the uploader a PM on a torrent details page. They will only appear to you as "Anonymous Uploader". They will be able to see your username, however even if they reply to your PM, you will NOT be able to see their username. The only time that you will know the username of the "Anonymous Uploader" conversation is if that user explicitly divulges that information themselves. So yes... They absolutely WILL know your username, but that is really ALL they will be able to know if your profile security is set to strong.

Hi catndog, good news: there is a light theme now, and it is open to everyone. Go to Settings (My page), tab Display, and set Theme to "Light". You can also pick "System" so the site follows your device's light or dark setting. Under Light you can choose between two colour styles. It switches right away, no reload needed. Thanks for asking, and tell me if anything is hard to read in it. Joker

Hi all, fixed as of today: the search box on the homepage now respects your own choice. If you set a "Default sort order" or switched on "Don't auto-switch to Relevance when I search" (Settings, Search, Behaviour), a search from the homepage opens in that order, the same as from the search page. If you have not set anything, a homepage search still opens in Relevance (best match first), as before. Thanks to ianfontinell and MaleMan for spelling out exactly where it went wrong. Joker

Hi behindalex, yes, and it is already there. In the tags section of a torrent's page there is an "Add a tag" field: start typing and it suggests existing tags, or you can create a new one. You can also vote on the tags that are already there. On a torrent with no tags at all yet, only the uploader sees that field for now. A brand new tag stays private at first and only shows for everyone once three different members have used it. That keeps one-off typos and joke tags out of everyone's view. Joker

Hi joreilly02, there is no setting that turns "Hide downloaded" on by default. Two ways to get the same result: Set up your search with "Hide downloaded" switched on and click "Save search" next to the search box, then open it from your saved searches. Or bookmark this and use it as your starting point: https://www.gaytor.rent/search.php?hidedl=1 "Downloaded" covers both: torrents whose .torrent file you grabbed and torrents you completed in your client.

Hi Kevin4fm, thanks for the bug report too, I looked at it together with this thread, and you found a real bug. The period you pick is an inactivity window: every visit starts it again, so "1 year" should keep you logged in until you have not been on the site for a year. But after a password change or the Security Checkup (which the banner nudges everyone into) the login cookie was set to a fixed 14 days, whatever you had chosen. That is fixed as of today: those logins now keep your chosen period too. If it throws you out again after this, reply here with the date, rough time and whether anything changed (browser update, new device, cleared data). Joker

also, if you refer to someone who is not already in the chat thread, using the syntax @_username_, member "username" will also receive a notification. (Do not use the underscore characters.)

Yes, please report them. Anything with someone's real ID, address or other personal documents in it gets removed, no matter how the torrent is labelled. Use the report button on the torrent and say what is in it. Joker

@brunneng friend, it is called "most popular" so the only thing taken into account for a torrent to show in the home page is the number of downloads, i understand that many people dislike it but so far the fact that they are always trending means they are, in fact, appreciated by most members. you can block the AI category anywhere in the site using this page: https://www.gaytor.rent/my.php#sec-content

As far as I am aware, someone (whether staff or a regular user) must make each torrent freeleech manually. There is a whole thread in the forum for users to be able to post torrents that are at risk for going extinct (or are currently already dead) to make them freeleech. Unless it is made freeleech by a user spending their SBP to make it freeleech, it is generally only torrents with few seeders that are made freeleech to help keep them from going dead. I am not aware of anything that puts an automatic freeleech on any torrent, but this does not necessarily mean such a feature does not exist.

@ianfontinell said: @Kevin4fm i also couldn't find it in the official support pages but if i recall correctly you become a power user when you have uploaded at least 40GB in total AND have a ratio of at least 1.05 btw i don't remember if there's any benefit at all other than being able to use the RSS feed feature. I just noticed the other part of your post now. There is at least one other distinct difference that power user status makes. Only power users are able to use invites to invite a friend.

@premier Interesting... The only thing I was able to find on my end while digging through the system is a helpdesk reply I gave on Sept 21. Did this not show up in the helpdesk ticket?

@MatthiazGT said: @Shepard69 Guess I owe you a BJ cause that helped me a lot. Thank you so much. You are quite welcome. Now let's arrange payment of that BJ...

@raphjd thanks to both of you! i would try with another browser next time!
