[maybe this can help NOOBS like me; I was using a D2x Installer that was intended for Wii, but you NEED to get one for "vWii" i.e. Wii U.]

This is a weird one and I'll try to be concise.

I CAN configure step 1 of the D2x cIOS Installer guide, but when I get to step 2 and 3, the program seems to always loose internet connection and I get a series of prompts:

"net_gethostbynamefailed. -6"

The strange thing is, I can skip 1 and go straight to #2 and it'll work. Or skip #1 and #2 and 3 will work, but never two or three in a row. And when I try to save each cIOS step at a time, it reads: "nothing to save".

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    @Skelletonike, No. Why would I?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I was kidding
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Dunno about followers tbh, never noticed mine.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I see. Well, what I found is that if somebody had gotten temp-banned then you cannot see them follow you on your profile but can on theirs.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It's odd, bc I found that out with Cranesbill.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    crane was banned?

  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    How do you know he was banned @SylverReZ ? I don't see any "banned" message on his profile

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Plazorn, If you change your GBAtemp theme to throwback instead of the default ones and go to his profile, you'll see a red 'X'. Temp-ban is different to a regular ban being it's a suspension for 7-days or so.

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Temp-banned was the keyword I gues
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    I see it so clearly now @SylverReZ !

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Damn, my name is painful in throwback
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    And in ligt mode too it seems
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, I see what you mean. If I change the temp style to red or any other default theme, your username is completely white. My username is also more visible to the eye, so that could be down to which CSS layout is used.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    welp, just updated my name, should be easier now.

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    increased transparency of glow as well
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    yup, should work for everyone now.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    no one can call my name fat now.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Skelletonike, Really like it. :)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Something changed at some point where we don't have a difference between suspensions and bans anymore from the forum software perspective. Any ban or suspension is just a regular ol' ban, with either an expiration set or not
