The MAC Chat forum has a bunch of weird furniture related spam posts.

I've flagged virtually all of them and banned the posters, but since I'm not a mod in that section, I can't delete (read: recycle bin) them.

As for the keyboard thing, what browser are you using?

We've made some Quality of Life improvements to the forum over the weekend! -


  • Threads with attachments no longer have a darker background. As much as we appreciate them trying to have their own unique style they're now the same color as the rest of threads.
  • There are two new links in the header navigation - My topics & Support Specktra. My topics will help you quickly find all of the threads you have created. Support Specktra will take you directly to the page where you can buy a premium membership. Currently Specktra has expenses of $450 USD / mo. those of you who elect to support the site through a premium membership are contributing DIRECTLY to paying those costs.
  • You can now see the name of the person who sent you a PM. No more guessing who's your mystery admirer.
  • Multiple page navigation has been improved, you should now be able to clearly see the page numbers on the top right of threads to jump directly to pages.

We continue to tweak the site to get closer to being what we've been used to over the years. Please understand that Specktra needs your support to do this. Paying our hosting bill and our wonderful technology admin is a reality, these improvements can only happen when the budget for the site has the funds. I am totally willing to carry the expense as much as I can, but the site conversion last year completely tapped my savings and since traffic to the site is down for the summer advertising revenue simply isn't enough alone. If you've ever considered supporting the site, now is a great time to begin!

Thanks everyone for your support, you're all in my heart.

Im not sure if I just missed it, but is there no "one time donation"-type option so that it would be possible to donate any amount at any time without it being recurring?

Lifetime Supporter is a one-time donation, I think?

Premium subscriptions are not reoccurring with the exception of Muffin supporter. Muffin is the only reoccurring (monthly) subscription. The best way to support the site is through a subscription as it's all automated to give you the appropriate rewards on the forum. If you just prefer to make a direct payment to the Specktra paypal business account that email address is [email protected]. Hope this helps! :thankyou:

I'm getting an annoying new pop up in the urls asking for notifications. How do I stop it? Do I just click no notifications?

Do you mean the notification from your browser? Or in the Specktra website?

If it is from your browser then there should be a little settings icon you can click on to disable, or yes prefer to not receive notifications from Specktra.net

While it's totally your choice to allow them, popup notifications will alert you when you have been tagged or mentioned in a thread / post on Specktra. FYI just so it's clear what the allow box is seeking permission to do.

Hi there, Just want to let y'all know that suddenly the Private Staff Forums are not private. I'm sure you want to fix this ASAP?

We are finding a solution to disable notifications, should have a fix soon. Thanks for your patience!

Not sure if it is supposed to be this way, but I keep getting ads that cover a post in the recent activity feed.

That's strange about the ads, they shouldn't be showing up there. I moved some things around, let me know if it is still a problem?
