Yes, but I still have an email detailing his...fascination with my...private interests.
Also, I just created the "Spam/Abuse" tag...fully 30% of the issues have that tag.
Yeah. We also have this: http://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/33hfod/user_photoshopping_screenshots/ Up to sixth place on TFTS.
This is...well, better than last time, but I can just feel my sanity slipping...even half of the "sane" titles, like "purple and black cubes", "FPS lag", "network lag", and the bottom "crash with NEI" are garbage...
Well, that is what we are for! We are helping clean out the garbage and sort out the useful bug reports.This is...well, better than last time, but I can just feel my sanity slipping...even half of the "sane" titles, like "purple and black cubes", "FPS lag", "network lag", and the bottom "crash with NEI" are garbage...
Also, it looks like EnderIO gets even more invalid issues than we are getting at the moment, mainly due to needing to update Applied Energistics.

Too Much Free Time
Sadly, 3 months from now we'll be linking to this thread in response to 'why no tech support?' questions.
And this is why we can't have nice things 
Also upon seeing Reika's post above, I feel kinda bad about sitting by and watching. Ping me if you want an extra pair of hoofs.

OK, the new version of the update checker is done. It is as follows:
As always, it performs the scan of what version is the latest and compares to the current. If the versions do not match, it logs the console and chat messages. Then, it evaluates whether to do the popup. Here are the conditions:
First, it checks the "pack maker only" config. If this is enabled, only the pack maker will see the notification, unless it has been two major versions (which corresponds to approximately 4 months) since the last update. This is far more than the initially given two weeks, and is long enough that it really does mean someone still using a version that old had no intention of doing so.
If the config is disabled, or the version is too old, then it moves to the config that restricts the message to admins and SSP players. This config has no caveats, and will remain functional indefinitely.
As before, there remains a command to hide all notifications until the next major version. This works forever and for anyone.

I am so very sorry to poke the hive on this, but I'd like to know how to close the popup on OS X. Pressing the CNTL key does absolutely nothing on my system - it does not isolate the mouse cursor. How can I close the nag? Thank you so much for your modding work.
I'm afraid I'm going to insist you post a new thread about this. I don't want this one being brought back up.
