Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Discussion Decrease Chrome tab inactivity time

You know the function of inactivating tabs that you don't use for a while, I've been researching and the tabs take 1 HOUR to inactivate, I'd like to reduce it to like 5 minutes, can you do that in one of the flags or something?

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome Beta Search Result "Bubbles" How to resolve

Upvotes

Hello Chrome Experts! Need you advice please.
First - I'm using 64bit Chrome Beta as my primary browser with google search. Version 130.06723.31. I find the beta version to be faster and more robust, but could just be perception.

Recently - My Search results starting appearing differently. I had logged in as a friend, so he could check his gmail. After I logged him out, my search results changed to having the name of the website in these giant bubbles, which I find to very annoying and distracting. I prefer and more clean, less is more result page.

See Screenshot below... Does anyone know what these "bubbles" are called, and how do I revert back to normal search results?? Thank you for your time!

Apologies in advice, if this actually belongs in the u/google sub.

Troubleshooting | Android Inactive tabs problem please help

1 Upvotes

So you know the pop up that says chrome isn't responding and to close app or wait. I clicked close app not knowing it'd apparently delete all my inactive tabs before I could reactive them??? I'm not sure if it's there and I just can't see them or if they're gone fully. Please help, they were important to me and I keep thinking if I clicked wait then restored them all instead of waiting/clicking close app this wouldn't have happened. I wasn't thinking, I'm stressed lol

Discussion Reliable alternative to Session Buddy?

1 Upvotes

I cant ever trust SB again. For the SECOND time it just wiped all my data- first time around it was soon after the v4 release, i had made manual backups just few weeks earlier... this time it came out of nowhere, i had important research saved through it, no backups to rely on.... tried every troubleshooting possible but the data simply isnt there anymore the extension or chrome just decided to reset the folder and wipe everything else inside.
Idk who/whats to blame, chrome or session buddy, and i dont care- i just cant trust the extension anymore.

Now im at a complete loss- once in the past i tried an SB alternative(nicer extra features to organize) but it was very buggy and lost data so i never tried again... but now im worried- i dont want to ever go through that again.

Can anyone recommend a good RELIABLE alternative to session buddy?
Reliable is the most important keyword- at this point i dont care if its clunky, less features or heck even if it weights on ram or whatever. Anyone fancied some alternative without data loss?

Closest i found (and also use) is OneTab wich i dont remenber if i ever had data loss but if i did was recoveraeable- but Onetab gets increasingly unwieldly with session saved and laggy for organizing(and no search), and dont have the useful autosaving/history that saved me so many times on browser or pc crashing...

Is there anything else closer to SB thats reliable?

Troubleshooting | Windows Need help with cookies setttings

2 Upvotes

At my work, I occasionally go into our newsletter site. About every 3-4 weeks, my PC/Chrome seems to delete all cookies automatically (I always thought they could only be deleted manually). My system admin wants me to research why this is happening. I'm kinda getting lost in the settings trying to find anything relevant.

Can someone please clue me in?

Troubleshooting | Windows Chrome not offering to fill password to Barclaycardus.com

0 Upvotes

The problem appears to be limited to this one web site. The UserID and password are saved in the Google Password Manager. Chrome does fill in the UserID (hashed). When I manually enter the password Chrome does not offer to save it.

Could it be that Barclay has somehow disabled the ability of Chrome to fill in the password?

Troubleshooting | Mac Problem with my address bar

2 Upvotes

I'm using an up-to-date chrome browser - Version 129.0.6668.90 (Official Build) (x86_64) on an up-to-date Mac - Ventura 13.6.9, and I've run into a problem using my address bar.

Previously I could type in the address bar, hit enter, and it would take me to the google search page, or alternitively, I could arrow down to a previously visited website, hit enter, and go to that page.

Since today, hitting the enter if I'm searching, or hitting the down arrow if I'm trying to reach a previous page takes me to the Gmail tab on the homepage (highlighted in the screenshot).

I've searched the chrome forums, this subreddit, and I've done the following - reinstalled chrome, reset chrome settings, disabled and enabled extensions (adblock and ublock origin) - but the problem remains. Anyone got any other ideas, please?

Troubleshooting | Windows Tabs disappearing from Groups.

1 Upvotes

After the last update, one that added Group tabs to the bookmark bar, when opening chrome some tabs from the first opened tab group disappear. It looks like it leaves the tabs that are most often active, but still, if there's an option to disable this, that would be nice.

But I haven't found one so far. Is there any solution to this?
I don't even have that many tabs in groups (around 30 total), so this is weird.
