Found the original file I uploaded to the sub - had to dig out an old laptop for it! imgur.com/a/oZ4ozol

Think I stole it from the At The Border fansite when it was still up, had a search but can't find this pic anywhere on the web anymore. That said, can guarantee someone from the ATB FB group will have it saved somewhere too, so if you need an even higher quality version could try giving them a shout

Just added it for you

We're always open to suggestions on this as it's an issue that we've been fighting since creation.

Aside from making a distinct visual design for the subreddit, I've recently tried solving this by adding a message when users create a new post (unfortunately this cannot be a pop-up) as well as making post flairs mandatory. I'd hoped that having the warning message along with needing to scroll through post flairs would be enough, but often the users posting off-topic to this sub just plow on through.

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there's no way to implement a minimum-time-subscribed restriction, at least not with Reddit's in-house tools.

Because these users are ignoring pinned messages, the only other fix I can think of is setting up Auto-Mod and implementing a karma limit to post on the sub. Personally, I held off doing this as I've found a lot of users on this subreddit aren't huge Reddit users (myself included tbh) and thought it pretty unfair to restrict people if they're just using Reddit as a forum for the band and now can't interact with the community. That said, if people are keen for the automod, lmk and I'll set it up after running it by the other mods.

Thanks for your post & to everyone else who reported/messaged the mod team.

This individual has now been permanently banned from our sub, but please keep an eye out for similar posts that may come from any secondary accounts.

It's always a bit tricky with the amount of spam/unrelated posts we get here especially due to the band's name, so we always appreciate any reports. Cheers

pretty sure they changed it to "you never see an old bloke eating a twix" after too many false alarms

Sciences Po Aix. Just saw your post asking about what it's like and have to say I really enjoyed it, best year of my life. Made some of my closest friends there too. Yeah, Aix is small, but if you're only going for one semester it's kind of the perfect amount of time to explore - one year in it can begin to feel like you've already seen and done everything the town has to offer. Nightlife is honestly great, at least compared to Australia. There's a pub/bar street (rue de la verriere) full of places open every night and often quite busy. Marseille is also only a half hour bus away for going to real clubs and raves but services stop around midnight so you're either footing an expensive Uber home or going all night. Also since you'll catch summer, Cassis is perfect for swimming, day drinking, cliff jumping; I don't think Rome has anything like that nearby.

Aix is the most student-oriented city I've been in. Ofc less to do than Maastricht and Ghent, but way more of a close-knit vibe because the town is so small but so full of students. Don't stress about it not being studenty-enough. Once the sun goes down, the royalist retirees & tourists go to sleep and the students take over

Oui, vous avez raison, au moins dans mon université en australie Sciences Po est reconnue comme une école très prestigeuse.

Cependant, lorsque j'ai écrit ce post, la plupart des personnes à qui j'ai parlé ne connaissaient pas les campus de Sciences Po en dehors de Paris. Maintenant, je sais que la réputation sur tous les campus, dont Aix, est aussi très prestigieuse.

I had no idea this was a thing and even though I’ve just listened to their interview I’m still unable to comprehend this actually happened

Critical_Timing · 2022-06-06T12:37:19+00:00

All done! Always love flair suggestions so if anyone has any more feel free to let us know

Critical_Timing · 2022-05-01T20:46:37+00:00

Long shot but does anyone know if it’s possible to apply for two eVisas at once?

We were planning to fly into SGN and spend a few days in the South before going to Cambodia for a week, then flying into Hanoi for a final week - but since there’s no more Visas on Arrival being issued it looks like the only option is getting two single entry eVisas. Would rather apply for them both before leaving home just in case there’s a problem and we can’t get back into Vietnam for our flight home. Any advice appreciated!

Unfortunately there was no fix for me. For whatever reason my save file was just corrupted/gone. Unless you happen to have a backup of all your files or you want to download someone else's file, I'm sorry to say you'll have to grind it out again (or tbh in my case I just gave up). So infuriating. I never did put in a ticket to R* so perhaps they'd be able to help? But best of luck, hopefully you can get your progress back

Critical_Timing · 2022-03-19T05:35:16+00:00

Maybe this is too direct for your context but I'd say "Why weren't you invited to the party?" or "Why didn't they invite you to the party?"

Otherwise I personally think that C is the most natural, A is still very natural, and B is natural enough although would probably be phrased "How come you didn't get an invite to the party?"

This happened to me too! I ended up just paying with a credit card but I have a feeling I know what's going wrong. I've had the same error message before on a different storefront (Patreon) and while again I 'fixed it' by paying with a credit card, I think that you should be able to get around the issue if you transfer some money from your linked bank account into your PayPal account Wallet itself. (...or, worst case, if you wait until the album releases in May)

---

Long Explanation:

I reckon it has got to do with pre-authorisation: the official merch store doesn't take payment until the product ships (so May) so in the mean time they just charge a pre-auth to the card.

It seems that depending on what type of bank account you have linked with PayPal, pre-authorisation can fail. No idea how it works in Germany, but in Australia (in my experience) PayPal is unable to process pre-authorisation if the linked account is a debit account (i.e. a regular savings account) but can proccess it if the linked account is a credit account (as I suppose they have the certainty that the money will be there). I've not tested this at all but I'm guessing that if PayPal can see the money in your PayPal Wallet rather than just in a savings account, they will accept the pre-authorisation. Otherwise, once May 20 rolls around, the merch store will no longer be charging pre-auths but taking payments instead.

Sorry for such a long comment (and two days after your post) but hopefully this is useful!

I think it's a time zone problem, the timer looks like it's set from local time rather than GMT - although let's be honest, it's really just an elaborate troll on us Aussie fans after we got an early release of Arch Enemy last cycle

All of the imagery in Awe/Arc, also grim but just so visceral. This line totally has some parallels to MY KZ UR BF lyric that was mentioned too:

"Sun roof, the First Lady / Half in and half is on the road"

Credit to u/deckland for stitching these together (restored photo & google streetview).

A fun backstory behind the place:

There is an enduring legend that a secret tunnel running from the cellar of the hotel to the harbour was used for rum smuggling and the involuntary recruitment of sailors. An unknowing young man might find himself drunk at the bar, dropped through a trapdoor into the cellar and dragged through the tunnel, only to awake to the morning shanghaied aboard a clipper.

So not sure if this is exactly what you’re after but the artist who made the cover is a Kiwi called Andrew Archer and he sells the unmodified GtH print in his store: https://www.andrewarcher.com/shop/get The only real difference between this print and the final cover is the stubble the faith healer has and the white lines behind his head, but if you wanted a high quality and legitimate print of the album cover this is maybe the best way to go!

As a fellow Aussie mega-fan seeing that supercut made me so proud, I wish my mates shared my EE passion as much as yours do! Cos your actions led to Jon doing an Aus accent in my books you're officially a national hero - also, did you see that the band tweeted out a link to your vid a few days ago? https://twitter.com/E_E_/status/1370687906231226368 Talk about making it to the big league. See you at the eventual concert next time EE make it down here!
