QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SITE
UToad,
does this program allow any way of saving a link to a particular post for future reference?
Having trouble getting images to link into a post lately. Is it me?

Absolutely.
There is a way but only if you search for the post.
no, i mean once you see a post, can you "dogear" that post for future ref, or must you remember the topic and hunt for it each time?
Not easily. This is your post:
http://cellar.org/showthread.php?postid=70727#post70727
The anchor tags and stuff are in the code, but that link is not generated by anything except a search. There's no link on the page you could easily drag and drop or something like that.
so i should create a word doc, copy the location, create an index by topic, then give the post a name i'd remember, etc..... that'll do, i guess. thanks, i should have thought of that.
ok, one more thing:
i use netscape 7.whatever. whne i right click, i can view page info which seems to give me tha last post id on that page. how do i get the specific post id for a particular post?
If you mouseover the "quote" button and have your settings set to let you see the URL in your status bar, you could get the post number that way.

thanks!....i also find that right clicking it, the properties allows a cut & paste.
your a pretty fucking helpful guy, toad, thanks again.

Be a real man and download Moz 1.5 :)
toad, is there a setting that allows email based posts? as in, when a new message comes in on a subscribed thread, you can read the message and reply to it from within your email program.

moz.....mozilla? this is a different browser? what's so manly about that? does the skin have hair on it or something? can you die it?
;)
no, really, what does it do that's better than netscape?
No such feature as email-to-post.
Mozilla is like Netscape only continuing to be updated, and much improved with cool new features, and not containing all the spammy stuff.
Firebird is like Mozilla except it's just the browser part. If you don't need the email part, the editor part, or the chat part, just get Firebird. But know ye that Firebird is a pre-release product and doesn't come with an installer and stuff.
I like Firebird. Tabbed browsing is great. I've got Opera installed, but while I miss some of its features, something makes me prefer Firebird.
Firebird is also cool b/c you can block images from certain servers ie: ads
ok, so I downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.5. it appears to be a skin for my existing netscape. it has all of my bookmarks, my mail settings, my mail itself, etc....
the navigation buttons are even the same.
If you want it to look different, and not just work better, go to View -> Apply Theme. Netscape 7 was based on Mozilla 1.0 (roughly, I can't remember).
DOES it work better? the install and download were pretty quick......it's not just a slightly different interface that uses netscapes nuts and bolts? the features all seem the same....( my IM doesn't work in mozilla, tho). Are the two programs owned by the same people?
Did your Netscape have tabbed browsing?
Go to Edit->Preferences->Tabbed Browsing and check the boxes "Load links in background" and "Middle-click...on links on a web page". Start middle-clicking or ctrl-clicking on links.

Yup.
i like that. i take it mozilla does the same thing?
Yes, well, Netscape isn't going to be developed any longer, so you basically go Mozilla suite from now on. Mozilla isn't really owned by anyone. It's developed mostly by a foundation, Netscape gave it the initial boost of people and money and such IIRC.
Mozilla developers have no other goal than to build a great browser, and so in three years of development from scratch they've so far built something better than IE.
i'll use mozilla at home and stick with netscape at work....after i have gotten used to them, i'll let you know which one i like better.
thanks for the advice, once again, ya helpful fuck!
S'ok! I love Mozilla, and I think Firebird, once it reaches maturity and becomes "Mozilla Browser", will easily dominate the world.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES "BLOG" MEAN?
It's short for "web log"...a web diary of sorts. The Manifestos are a blog, more or less. But unlike standard blogs, I let slobs like you reply to my posts.

yeah, eat me, dycamore ( that's not a typo)
i'm a huntanpeck typist and there's nothing as infuriating as having typed a fairly long post only to look up and realize that it's in caps. i wish there was a way to convert caps like you can copy and paste and what not.
Flattery will get you nowhere...
Just look up at the screen shortly after beginning your reply.
How long have you been here? How often do threads stay on-topic?
I rest my case.
UT,
the search engine is killing me. I either get this:
vBulletin Message
The search term you specified (pot) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer.
If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more specific.
or this:
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms
when i put little words in to search for. The method to it eludes me. The word i had searched for when i got no hits was "you" . Sometimes if i put multiple words in and one of the words is 3 letters, i get the first error, too.
can you remove the minimum word length parameter?
I'll change it to 3 but it will take time to take effect. I forget how this thing decides when to index.
toad,
i was sniffing around vbulletin.com, and noticed that there is an avatar feature on their demo. does this iteration of vb allow avatars? if so, have you decided NOT to use them?
I decided not to use them because, in my opinion, they make any forum look like utter crap.
What have you got against utter coprophiles?
Originally posted by lumberjim

Behold the power of Google... use "site:cellar.org" in your search string to search the Cellar wiith shorty words.
pot site:cellar.orgA picture that displays under your user title.
There are pre-set avatars in vBulletin, or you can upload your own (sometimes there are preset requirements by the sysadmin for using avatars ... minimum number of posts or whatnot.)
If you want to see some in use, go to glocktalk.com or politicsforum.com
Sometimes I just don't understand people. I mean, I'm trying to freaking <b>read</b> here! I personally find avatars to be incredibly distracting.
It's a vanity thing. People try to outdo each other with increasingly clever animated avatars, or want their picture up, or whatnot.
It's kind of like buddy icons in AIM. Either you use 'em, or you don't.
I hate avatars and image signatures.
I try to turn both off on boards. If I cannot then I rarely visit these boards. (Some of you proably will see that as a reason to have the images 8-P )
Three reasons:
1) They are distracting.
2) They take up screen space.
3) Often offensive and inappropriate at work. They stick out and scream "Look at me! I'm slacking off at work!!"
The thing I like the most about the cellar is the clean look. It looks very professional, not at all childish like many other sites.
Plus I feel that the lack of signatures and avatars helps keep stupid people who are attracted to such things away from the site.

I was on a forum where half the fun was seeing who could come up with the best and most creative avatar. There were a few PhotoShop experts there and would come up with some whacked out stuff.
We don't do avatars here...too much clutter. We do have a Photoshop forum though.

Hi, Lumberjim.
is yr system ip-sensitive, or what?
i'm now using a different ip, but have to fill in user name and password each time. troublesome, isn't it? i didn't have to with the old one where i had my registration and could automatically log-in.
noodles,
Undertoad is the owner and administrator
so.....
your questions, direct them to him
I am but a fart on the breeze
I simply dive before i can swim
and I know naught of IP's
Ljim
A clever answer from Lumberjim
And he says he is a fart on the breeze
Poor noodles cannot tell Toad from its limb,
and ordered coffee but got tease.:confused:
It's cos you use the www on the front of the site and LJ is linking to the non-www version, plain ol cellar.org without the
www. (which is the preferred way BTW)
When you log in, the system starts a cookie or session for one but not the other, and so it figures you are a new user if you switch between.
I could have addressed this properly at any time, but half the people would have to re-log-in the next day. So what I figure is that I'll force the non-www version whenever we switch to the next version of the vBulletin software, and handle all the big change at once.
(Which we will, eventually... it's in beta now, and it's VERY good from what I've seen. Loads of forumy goodness.)
strangeness:
I havent noticed this on anyone else's posts, but some of mine are missing the signature. ther is one that i noted in the 'word assoc given polite death' thread, and all of the ones in the get ready to surrender your vcr thread are not there either? it's a long sig, does that have anything to do with it?
Do you have 10000 stored messages?
Inbox contains 433 messages.
You have 928 messages stored, of a total 10000 allowed.
i tried you, blue, and fnf.....it tells me that i have not completed all fields, but i have
hmmm. seems to be okay now.......weird...it IS possible that i was just doing something wrong.....i guess. ;)
how did you guys get 800+ online all at once in 2001? was there an actual attempt at this, or was it just an accident? can we beat that? and more importantly - do we want to beat that?
Hey,
Can somebody please help me out ? I am wondering how to create my own post.
Thx :3eye:
You just did. :eyebrow:
Do you mean start a thread?
And more importantly, will you abuse this knowledge?
did you recently limit the search results to 500 when viewing "all posts by this user", or am I all fucked up?
B... I didn't change anything
UT:
The date and time of the post is relative to what? My local time? Poster's local time?
tia
Your local time zone, which is set in the Options section of
Your User Control Panel.
Now to sleep, before everyone decides that all I ever do in life is sit here waiting for questions.
thank you, sir
more questions later
The "New Post" thing does not work the way I would like it to. I'm not sure what its doing but a lot of new posts don't show up when I click new Posts. However, when I just go back to the home page, I see lots of forums with the "new post" icon that were not represented in the new post summary.
When I purge cookies and come to the Cellar as a not logged in guest, there is a button for "Today's Posts" (posts with the last 24 hours) that lists any thread with action in the last 24 hours in descending order. This is **much** better for me but, when I log into the Cellar with a cookie (where I don't have to sign in) that option is not available.
Is there anyway for a logged-in user to access or otherwise reproduce the functionality of the "today's posts" button? Logging off and reloading is currently the only way but then I have to log on to reply which loses the list. Grrrrr.
UT:
I am struggling to duplicate an effect seen in many posts. That is having a post I make that includes a quote display:
Originally posted by Poster:

Is there a way to automate this? I can make it all come out purty like, but only by manually placing the quote tags and the bold tags, etc. The other posts all look so consistent that I wondered if there was an automated way to do this instead of simply being a stunning example of following a layout convention (extremely unlikely, given the variety of input sources here...)
Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to automate this?
On the post you want to quote, push the "Quote" button at the bottom, and delete the part of the quoted text you aren't responding to. When you do this, you can also see the syntax for doing it manually.

Ahhhh, thank you verrrrry much. I was unable to find the "Quote" button because I began all my posts by choosing the "Go Advanced" or "Post Quick Reply" buttons. That makes the system change the mode and hides the "Quote" button.
I never thought to begin a post by quoting someone. That's a reasonable response for someone who's as in love with his own voice as I seem to be...[SIZE=2]*embarassed*[/SIZE]
I could not find an answer to my question, neither could I find a thread that had a better title, so...
I realize this is probably a browser problem, but I can not get some of the things to work in the cellar. Specifically, when replying, the Manage attachments button is NON-functional, and the [More] link in the smilies box is also TU.
I don't mind using 150 words to approximate a little spinning blinking ball with sunglasses, but to have to describe a freakin attachment is givin me writer's cramp.
Please help.
For the record, here's the profile, roughly:

Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 StumbleUpon/1.999
the behavior is repeatable, but did not always happen. I think I have posted a pic before. Sorry, my system changes to much too fast to say which was the last change before the buttons stopped working.
Thanks in advance.
Re-configure your pop-up blocker. Both those items open new windows.
Permit anything from cellar.org, you will never get burnt here.
I'm sure you've answered this in another thread, and i'm sure that those who came before already know... but which came first: The Cellar or the Undertoad?

HALLELUJAH!!!
After having uninstalled the whole freakin browser, um, 20 times!, I finally learned that each time it came back from the dead the same brain damaged way.
/big sigh/
Anyway, I discovered that it uses some very persistent configuration files, namely user.js, prefs.js, and others. try typing about:config in your firefox browser. verrrrrrrrah eeeenteresting, and jes, eet steenks. Those settings stayed in place through all the uninstalls and restarts. I finally succeeded in getting what I wanted, a clean install, by renaming the Mozilla folder in the application data directory.
Yay!!
Thanks for your help.

Did the "Seattle" thread started by Clodfobble begin in a different category? I think it was in Home Base and now is in Cities. Juuuuust curious. I was going to ask you to do that anyway.
I intended to start a thread like it and Clodfobble's question was a gift to carry on about my home town.
Thanks.
UT? Is it possible to put a Next/Prev button at the top as well as the bottom of a page? This would make my browsing experience easier.
Brian
Um... I do have a next/previous link at the top and bottom of every page of a thread. :confused:

Sorry! The administrator has specified that users can only post one message every 30 seconds.
WOW, I am penalized for having the ability to read and post with the utmost speed and agility. Earlier today a friend told me she got yelled at by a few co-workers for working too quickly. What's wrong with this world??? :smack: :blunt:
UT activated that feature when we had the attack of the annoying teenagers.
(I get caught by it a lot too. And the damn thing restarts the timer if you think 30 seconds is up earlier than it does)
Yeah, figured it was anti-spam/anti-lamer defense. But it totally cock-blocked me from posting an awesome awesome word in the word-association thread. I was pisssssed.
.......that's a novel use of the term cock-blocked.
Are you sure about that? Seems everyone is cloned these days.
It takes two baby. ;)
UT:
When I am in the advanced editing text entry box, I am getting this error. It happens when I highlight text inside the box and then try to copy it to the clipboard. Right-clicking on the selected text doesn't offer Copy, so I try the little Copy icon at the top of the menu bar, and get this error message.
I would be delighted to edit my config files, but the question is what edit(s)? Do you know? Anybody?
Without this ability, I am reduced to composing in an offline editor and copying back and forth, which is unnecessarily tedious.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I don't know, but go into your user control panel, edit options, and turn off WYSIWIG editing. Just use "standard editor". That should fly.
zero extensions, Firefox ver 1.0.1, fully updated xp, will check for malware etc w/adaware and spybot searchanddestroy
Sorry, I edited my message after you read it. I thought I might have an insight but then I thought, probably only the advanced editor uses Javascript. You might have turned off Javascript as an option. I don't know why the WYSIWYG editor uses it. Highlight and Copy work fine for me.
Update: for me, the advanced WYSIWYG editor doesn't show anything at all with Javascript disabled.
Just use CTL+C to copy and CTL+V to paste.
Mr UT:
I would like to edit
http://www.cellar.org/showpost.php?p=150958&postcount=105 but I cannot. I would like to attach the image in the thread, instead of merely link to it. It sometimes displays and sometimes not.
I'm really working with two questions here,
One -- why can't I edit all my messages? (even when I am logged in)
Two -- I think I understand the difference between linking to an image and attaching an image, but I don't know which you prefer, or why a linked image would sometimes fail to display.
Thanks in advance.
Just use CTL+C to copy and CTL+V to paste.
These work great, thanks.
Still don't understand the behavior of the other buttons/functions/etc.
You should be able to edit any message... but only up to a certain time. The idea is that editing should be limited to correct mistakes and that at a certain point the post is locked in.
If a linked image "sometimes displays, sometimes doesn't", it's probably a problem with your host. I prefer people use their own bandwidth for large things, unless they have hit the tip jar. Hosting the images locally is a great service for the message base itself and it's something I'm happy I can still provide. I'm working on an opportunity to put the Cellar into a co-location space with tons of bandwidth, which could improve what we are capable of here.
may I send the image to you and you insert it?
Another question, UT.
regarding the "search" function throughout the cellar, I see that it returns the threads that contain the search term, but which post contains the term is not clear. Do you have any suggestions as to how to find the post in the thread that contains the search term?
Thanks in advance.
The term is highlighted in red, if the thread is short.
On the search form, you can also change the results from "Threads" to "Posts".

Knew the red part, delighted to learn the threads to posts part. Never really dinked with the advanced search. Thank you Monkey! Happy, happy indeed!
I understand the point of not being able to edit after a certain time. But there's something from last year I particularly want to edit out, for peace of mind. How would I do this?
PM me and I will take care of it.
UT, what do you do with your spare time? Bwahahahahahahahahahaha. :lol:
Agh. this is the tenth time I've written a post only to find when I submit it's lost as I've timed out or something. why does this happen? do you expect really fast writers or am I doing something wrong? I've tried pressing the back button but that's about as useful as a glass lampshade.
I think you'll have better success if you turn cookies on.
Senor UT:
I use Outlook as my contact manager. It lets me track the regular name rank and serial number stuff of people I communicate with, plus a free form field called Notes. Is there a similar function in the cellar? I'm starting to lose track of stuff about my friends here. How does everyone else do this? Offline in some other program? Swarms of post-its? Just rely on memory?
Thanks in advance.
The entire world awaits the ideal Outlook replacement.
what type of stuff are you trying to save BigV? except for a couple of crashes *knock on wood* everything in the cellar is here semi-permanently.
Is the search messed up? I tried to dig up my slide rules post from to Doodads thread, and failed. I know it's there somewhere... I admit I didn't go through all 30+ pages worth....
I do think there is something wrong with the search, and I am rebuilding the indexes... should take about an hour.
The entire world awaits the ideal Outlook replacement.
There's always Lotus Notes. Buggy and hard to use, but at least Gates doesn't get any money from the license.
Senor UT:
I have noticed a difference in the behavior of the cellar. I had developed the habit of creating a post, and finally posting with Alt-s. Then, sometimes I read the post and decided it needed an edit or three, and pressed the Back-a-Page function (mouse button or what ever...), made my edit and then re-saved the post again with the Alt-s. If I do the edit fast enough, I get put in the pokey by the "too many posts/unit time" trap. No problem.
But the new results are that I wind up with TWO posts, and often I only see the bottommost one, and leave it on the board. I don't mind looking like a retard (good thing), and I have changed my posting/editing/reposting regimen.
My question is this: What prompted the change? It seems to be timed close to the defacement. Are they related?
Oh, and by the way, could you please delete
this and
this, please? See, they mock me. I don't think I've left more double-taps uncleaned up, but these have aged out for my edit privleges.
Goof. If you need to edit a post click the edit button.
UT:
Sir. Why do some links open in a new window, and others take the current window to a new address? I can provide examples, if you wish.
btw, I use FF 1.04 on XP.
Thanks in advance.
please explain to me what these all mean. (I could only post 2 of them, but there are at least 4...)
The blue envelope, means you've read all the posts in the thread. The yellow envelope with stuff sticking out means there are new posts you haven't read. When the little white arrow is present it means you have posted in that thread, and if you mouse over it, it will display how many posts and last posting time and stuff.
Links in messages are set by default to open in a new window. If someone puts their own HTML in, through, I'm not sure what happens.
I sometimes do my own HTML if I don't want to "Go Advanced" to put in a link.
On that note, would it be difficult to put the "Link" button in the Quick Reply box?
Thank you.
While you're receiving petitions, I would like a new font, something (anything normal looking) that is in strikeout, you know with the horizontal line through all the letters....
Thanks for listening...
<strike>Strike is actually an HTML code</strike>
Surround words with <strike> and </strike> to do that.
I'll look for that for the quick reply hm. I don't remember if it's easy to do...
<strike>Strike is actually an HTML code</strike>
Surround words with <strike> and </strike> to do that.
Thank you.
The blue envelope can't mean that I've read all the posts in a thread, because I've never even been to the sports forums, but the threads there show me blue sealed envelopes.
Also, threads that I remember looking at ALSO show me blue envelopes.
And the yellow envelope with stuff sticking out is being displayed on posts I've never read. (Maybe that symbol just means "recent posts" regardless of whether I've ever read it or not.)
The only one that makes sense to me are the ones with white arrows- those mean I've posted. Besides those, I still don't get it...
Blue envelopes means there have been no new posts in a thread since your last visit.
Everything is relative to your last visit.
I'm not looking at the answer key ... but often the color of the icon relates to the busy-ness of the topic ... lots of replies gets the color change.
<strike> holy sh*t, it works. i've actually done a cool computer thing. my day is complete.</strike>
UT. How about the PM deal not putting a copy in the sent folder by default? I'm too dumb to uncheck it and can't see the opition till I scroll down. which is too late.
Bitch, bitch and bitch :)
UT, what's the "GuestMap" link at the bottom of the page?
that is where some of us, put little faces on our geographical locations, isn't it?
oops, sorry, i posted before i looked. i was wrong, so feel free to ignore another one of L123's posts - if it isn't habitual already.
:| Something that used to work before the hacking
Okay, so I posted this very amusing image.
Then I realized that there was a far funnier and more appropriate place to post it.
So I deleted the post containing the original occurance of the image.
And redid the post in the appropriate place.
I wasn't allowed to re-upload the image because of the original, now deleted occurance.
So I went to the User CP/Attachments with the intention of deleting the image out of that list and then being able to re-upload it. I could have sworn that I have done this before. That is how I knew to look for the attachments list.
The image in question was not in the list.
I rehosted the image so that I could post it, so putting it where I wanted it is no longer the issue, but for future reference, is there a better way to go about this?
ok I'm confused....
Periodically I like to go through my thread subscriptions and unsubscribe to most of them, and on the "new subscribed threads" there is a link to do that under each thread. When I go the "all subscribed threads" folder, there is no way to unsubscribe other than go visit and use the thread tool. I have 285 subscribed threads, man...I don't want to have to do that....
Is there another way?
Tell it to no longer send you email updates on your subscribed threads. I expect that's what's making you crazy? You can change that setting in your control panel.
I like the emails, but I'm no longer interested in getting them about all 285 threads. I can go in to each thread and unsubscribe, but again, that seems like a lot of freaking work. There's no way to like, look at the list of subscribed threads and then check a box to unsubscribe and click unsubscribe or something?
Yes, I can view them on that page, I've been there...I'm saying that there is no way to unsubscribe from that page. There are little check boxes on the right, but no box to click on to "unsubscribe from the selected list" or anything.
That's what I'm saying.
1. Click the check box.
2. See the little drop down menu thingy at the bottom there? when you click it "Delete Subscription" is one of your options. There are also a bunch of subscription management choices.
What's up with "Thread rating" ***** ???!!
Thread ratings are supposed to be off entirely but I left them on in Nothingland by mistake. They are off now.
Thread ratings are supposed to be off entirely but I left them on in Nothingland by mistake. They are off now.
Just curious -- any reason why you have them turned off? Not a fan?
Thread and post ratings are not as useful as they would seem at first. They change the nature of a forum and make it more cliqueish, more slanted towards who's voting. There are even user ratings, "reputation" they call it; as if the place is some sort of popularity game to be solved.
Here the cliques are determined by everyone's words and actions and not by numeric scores. It's much more devious that way.
Cliques? We have cliques? :unsure:
We have since AG hit us.
I post on another board that does use the "karma" system ... I got my first red (i.e., bad) karma today for telling some moron who said she didn't want to ever have anything to do with the raising of her own children "Please don't breed."
I don't spend a lot of time there, but they have some special-interest topic areas that I follow.

Huh? You should have gotten a cookie or something. That's good advice to people who don't want to raise children. Don't have 'em.
Makes perfect sense.
:| Something that used to work before the hacking
hacking? Why is that not a suprise. :headshake

I didn't notice any either. :unsure: that's a good thing !

Two things to keep in mind when going to places like that.
#1 either dont go there at all ( meaning don't get any on ya) or #2 if you do, give' em hell:D
Did something change here recently? Used to be that when I would click on a link someone posted, another window would open, no problem. Today, every link I've clicked on (on two different computers, mind you) acts like a popup, and my popup blocker does what it does...blocks them.
I haven't made any changes recently that should affect that sort of thing.
I the FAQ dosn't tell me how to make a poll. ?
It's an option below the text box when you are starting a new thread.
Thank you.
When I try to make a contraction using an apostrophe such a phrase finder comes up on the bottom of the screen instead.
I know it must be a glitch? Phrases are shown with quotaion marks not apostrophies anyway.
I get stuff like that happening every now and again too. I have no idea why ... or I go to hit some key that usually does nothing successfully, and now does nothing unsuccessfully (like flip back pages as though I was clicking on the browser 'back' button). It's not consistant, but closing the browser and restarting it usually stops it. For a while.
Yeah, it stopped next time I logged in. I thought maybe I was just being an idiot. ...which is quite possible...considering.
Old friend of mine said he had this dialogue with his mother:
Thom: We have a lot of fonts at work.
Mom: Oh, Thomas, don't call them that, they're people too.
There have been no new fonts or styles put into use for quite some time.
And a damn good thing it is, too.
First they start on Helvetica, then Palatino Linotype, then next thing you know they're on to the display fonts, Gill Extra Bold, Babyteeth, Cooper Black ... absolute chaos!
Please, don't make me post links to the board I go to with the colors and the animated signatures and the avatars ...
It may or may not be the Cellar's fault, but about a third of the time, when I open a page on the Cellar, I get the following error... why?
Cause they're on to you. You must now eat your computer.

"Illegals To Feed Homeless In Parks"
is not to be confused with
"Illegals Fed To Homeless In Parks"
or
"Illegals Feed On Homeless In Parks"
Reminds me of my ex-father-in-law, who liked to joke that "I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is the Martians have landed. The good news is they eat n*ggers and piss gasoline."
Now there's a "social policy with multiple objectives" for ya.[/quote]
Why is it that when left clicking on the poster's name, there is no "Add to Ignore List" to compliment the superfluous "Add to Buddy List"? :mad:
I don't know. If you like you can make a hard DNS entry on your computer, for cellar.org to be 207.245.110.178. I'm really hoping it won't change from that for a long time.
If you're browsing using the www. prefix, I suggest not doing that. I don't remember if it works.
I've never used anything but the www. prefix, it definitely works...
How can I hide a link "behind" words, as BigV does below
dar512 makes a bold understatement, worthy of inclusion here.
...
highlight the words you want to use as the link, and then click on the link button, which looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it.
Then paste in the address into the box that pops up.
I post a question, then came back 2 hrs later and clicked new post, nothing. Then I went to the post and there was 2 replies and the answer. What?
Don't know - that could be many things. Say, if you hit refresh or F5 just before hitting new posts.
new posts operation has been really improving since vbulletin 3.5.
Nope. How about seeing something that caught your eye and clicked on before you clicked new post? Bet that's it.
Is it just me, or is the cellar's internal Search and Advanced Search function non-functional?
My research indicates that there are no posts containing the word "gun" by MaggieL. I'm pretty sure that's not correct.

Right - MaggieL, that's not correct.:p
I just used it. It works fine. Check MaggieL pistol, weapon, firearm, shoot you in the head and let the vultures have you, collectivist. They may work.;)
My research indicates that there are no posts containing the word "gun" by MaggieL. I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
Search only finds four letter words.
(And longer than four.)
The search, for reasons unknown to me, does not index words of three letters or less.
(Edit: as HM sez)
To avoid false hits on word-fragments?
If I'm not mistaken, it used to tell you this when you tried to search for a 3-letter word. In the current version, it just tells you it didn't find anything.
Search only finds four letter words.
damn!!!1!!1!1!
shit!!!1!!1!1!
fuck!!!1!!1!1!
COCK!!!1!!1!1!
damn!!!1!!1!1! shit!!!1!!1!1! fuck!!!1!!1!1! COCK!!!1!!1!1!
What?:p
Well, does the string "shouldn't" have some other secret stealth cloaking powers that make it unsearchable? Also no hits, and with no restrictions as to the poster. I'm just curious, I have already completed my research for the post that prompted these searches. You may answer or ignore as you see fit.
Edit: Apparently the answer is yes. And the reason is the apostrophe, it is a search killer. Shouldn't==nothing; shouldn==several hits. Go figure.
That apostrophe fools spell check, too.
Steve, yes...it used to tell you that 3 was too short. :smack:
JI'm enjoying trying to shatter my good image for all time in the nsfw nekkid cellarite thread. I promise not to do anything illegal, or actually show my wee wee (yet). I respect your place more than my joke, so just quietly PM me when I become anything that approaches utter tastelessness or creepy or whatever. I'm just seeing if the so called worldly women are really up for my kind of corruption, or if they thought I would turn pink and run out giggling at the first mention of boobies. I'm also totally making it up as I go along, and have NO sexual interest in any of the weirdass stuff I hope to post.
Just felt like I had to say "It's still me". Not this guy in the thread.
Hey noods...lay off the Jim Beam, will ya?:p
What's up with the inline(?) pictures that just show up for me as the image file name, size, and number of views? Apparently most others can see them. (But not everybody.) What's required?
A system upgrade, I'm thinking.
Really? If I'm not getting it and (apparently) 95% of everybody else is it seems like it's a client side issue?
A lot of people are complaining.
I can make the pictures stop displaying, by logging out. And vice versa. That's the only thing I've noticed.
I have to log in to view pics, which means no lurking and perving for me. :(
Steve - have you looked in your user CP and in the "edit options" bit that you have the "visible post elements" ticked correctly??
I made a change to the options that might solve it. I still need to do the upgrade...
Whatever you did seems to have fixed it! :D
Not a question, but I figure I'll stick it here rather than start a new thread...
Thank you for dealing with bmwmcaw, Undertoad.
I second that or third as the case may be.
I don't wish to be contrary for sport, but I miss bmwcaw. I think his attitudes, while **appalling**, are not uncommon. Ignorance like his is all over, but I rarely get to engage it in anything close to the dialog we've all "enjoyed" here. Mostly its shouting, cursing, and flippin the bird. I know it's been scarcely better here, unfortunately. But I have so few opportunities for civic intercourse with the minds that hold such ideas, that I regret losing one.
I won't miss the venom, but I will miss the chance to engage and learn.
Then again, what do I know? I'm purblind.
How do you engage with 11 smilies in a row?
Only engage if the smilies are the opposite sex, for one thing...
i may have asked this before, but im not a re-reader. does the search feature not recognize words less than 4 letters long? i'm searching for a thread i started a long time ago called 'how old are you' and it wont match any or all of the words.
That's correct. Did you try Google?
Thanks for including a poll on that one.
And just think about all the things he's doing now that you'll appreciate in two and a half years... :)
How do you engage with 11 smilies in a row?
You can't, of course.
I don't challenge for a moment your wisdom or authority to act as you have; that is clear I hope. I have considerable respect and regard for you. I try to throttle my annoying posts, myself. I saw very little of that from bmwcaw.
As to 11 smilies in a row, I just considered that a juvenile little tantrum, and ignored it as such. The other posts were certainly at the lower end of the scale in terms of eloquence and tolerance, but I did sense a certain sincerity, reality about them. That's what I will miss. The chance to try to hear the ideas behind the words. Here in the cellar there are special advantages, like no shouting (KINDA), no physical intimidation, and being post post post, it requires a certain amount of thought that strictly oral communication does not. Best of all, it was a two way street. I can read strictly expressive diatribes like his elsewhere, but only here could I have any hope of a conversation.
Let me repeat: I fully support your authority and your actions.
Let me add: thank you, sir, for this wonderful forum.
awww...BigV and UT sittin' in a tree...
Hey UT... I can't donate through Paypal, seeing as how I dont have a credit card and I'm not too keen on telling the folks about this place... so next time I'm in the states I've decided I'm gonna drop a few bills of any denomination I can spare in the mail, where should I send them?
Lots of posts have what seem to be sounds. They look like *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* or *groan*
Are these really supposed to be something I can hear? I mean it's pretty obvious what the sound is, but I'm wondering if I just have some settings wrong or what.
Novice
yeah, there's a plug in. go
here to get it.
Well THAT wasn't nice
No, it wasn't.
But it was funny. And it's even funnier to realize that the only way lumberjim would know of that image is that somebody sent
him there earlier. :D
"Good point," she said.. quickly saving this image to use on someone else later, even though it's not very nice.
i'm sorry. i would have put a smilie in there, but i didn;t want to spoil the trick. i owe you one. or, if you prefer, you owe me one.
No, it was good. Thanks
All that aside, no PM has been received. Does anyone know about the sounds question? Am I just being an idiot? (don't answer that)
I can see how you'd think that because some chat programs use that kind of mark when sounds are played, but here we tend to use asterisks for *emphasis*.
or overuse them *looks around for DanaC*
Its coz they look soooo *pretty*
******There is no such thing as *****overuse***** of *******asterisks*******...or...ellipsis...in...my...post...ings.
Hey...I *like* using ellipsis in my writings...I intend for it to indicate a pause or sidetrack in my thoughts...that and I'm not a stickler for *proper* grammar.
When I'm on a roll, writing, my printed expressions come out intentionally like my thoughts stream. Pretty scary, as there will be ellipsis, hyphens, parenthetical expressions, asterisks, quotes...if there was a punctuation mark for kitchen sinks, that'd be in there, too.
fuck punctuation! And *asterix's* and ellipsis...!
Got ragged on for too many commas, as pauses, and started adding ellipsis.
And smilies to annoy the nerds. ;)
Hm. For some weird reason (actually, am trying to avoid studying for tomorrow's final in 17th C. Brit Lit as is mind-numbing) I am clicking around on different things here in the Cellar and clicked on "View Forum Leaders" and the message told me I didn't have clearance to view this...I thought I'd just get a list of the mods...is this James Bond stuff?
I think this is because there ARE no "forum leaders". I should remove that link.
That vBulletin Message always hurt my feelings. What, I'm not good enough?
Would it be possible to add more options to the "Find Posts From" section of Advanced Search? Like multiple years?
That ought to be do-able, although keeping all the features straight when migrating from version to version is getting to be a real pain. A lot of them have to be manually migrated each time.
Someone (maybe tw?) mentioned looking at posts from 2002 and 2003, and I got a bit curious, but there's no easy way to do so by username. It's just a whim, so no worries if it's more hassle than it's worth
rkzenrage, please do not copy the entire body of a spam message, including the links, into another thread, making work for the moderators? Mmmkay?
How do you embed (is that the right word) a link to a site, or another thread, covered up by a word? For example, someone will say
[COLOR="Blue"]here[/COLOR]
and when you click on linkable "here" you go to a site or thread?
I read the directions but I guess I'm missing something!
Thanks!
Highlight the section you want to be a link
Press the "Insert Link" button, which is the globe with a chain link on it
Insert the URL, with the http part. Hit OK.

What foot3 just posted is exactly what you would see if you

A quiet hush fell over that particular corner of the Cellar; the crickets in the background became a cacophonous symphony of sound, while Flint sheepishly backed away.
Lemme try, Flint. Shawnee, if you see a post that does what you want to do, press the quote button on the lower right of the post you want to emulate. In the quoted text you'll see exactly what to type.
All the buttons at the top just insert the right text for you, but you can do it yourself if you want.
Did that get closer?
Thanks for all your input. I got it now! (How many Shawnees does it take to embed a link?) :)
got this warning last night from Norton, any idea what it's all about? it seems I am frequently attacked from the address in question.
More info on Nmap Xmas scan
here. Sounds like someone is looking for vulnerabilities on your system.
I think this is Norton being overaggressive. That address is the Cellar's address, and port 80 is HTTP. The "nmap Xmas scan" is sort of like knocking on doors to see if anyone's there, not very serious and it could be a mistake somebody made in the protocol.

I"m hoping UT is right, but I wonder why the sudden problem?
This may be why a couple members have lost access at work recently? :eyebrow:
Can we turn the 'show deleted posts' thing back off? theyre getting kind of annoying, to me at least, and whats the point of deleting a thread if they still stay there cluttering things up?
I say keep it in at least the Entertainment category. It shows just how hard our mods work to keep out the riff-raff.
How does one use/find the ignore button/switch/thingy?
Click the "User CP" link to go to your account settings. One of the things on the left-hand menu bar will be the Buddy/Ignore List.
Ooh, who're you ignoring? Gossip gossip gossip!
C'mon which one of us finally got to you?
I hope it was me--it would be just perfect, since I explained how to find the ignore list.
I'm pretty sure it'll be me. ;)
I hope it was me--it would be just perfect, since I explained how to find the ignore list.
mmmmm... symmetry
Maybe its all of us? It would save a lot of time.
Now our deleted messages show up as a blank post, saying we deleted something there? When did that start?
When UT turned on the ability for everyone to see all the deleted spam instead of just the moderators. ;)
RE: The 24 hour bread thread.

when you want to quote multiple posts, you just go through and click that icon on each of the posts you want to include, and they will apear in your reply ( i haven't tried anything fancy, but i'm guessing that they come in chronological order into your reply)

no, it's the order that you click the icons
testing again
(edit) I can't get it to work. The multi-quote icon highlights, but the quotes aren't appearing (as you can see.)
What is this bozo doing wrong?
step one: Click the "multi-quote" button on the posts you want to quote
step two: scroll to the bottom of the thread and click on the "post reply" button.
You can push the
button on the last.

cool.

Here's my experience:
Just clicking multi-quote and post quick reply doesn't do anything. At all
Clicking multi-quote on the first posts and the quote button on the last quote (as HM says) adds all the quotes to an advanced mode reply that you can add your comments to.
Okay - question about this site:
I know what the Ignore button does, but what is the Buddy list for?
Or is it for more cliquey sites and not really of any use here?
I think that's the case, it's more for larger sites where you can't keep track of your friends.
It doesn't apply here because here we are all buddies. :lol:
I may start using it anyway. If someone annoys me I can say, "Well you're off my Buddy List, buddy!"
It will make me feel important.

I just went to the currently active users page. What is a slurp spider? (I did try to look it up but I was hoping one of you techie types could explain to me in simpler terms.)
Search engines like Yahoo! and Google "spider" the site, which is to say they read and index everything on the front page and then read and index everything that the front page links to, and then everything that every other page links to, and so on.
In any given week Yahoo! and Google read and index the entire site several times. because they have found that doing so doesn't slow down the connection, and because they aren't smart enough not to read old threads. Little things like the cookies, the date stamps, etc. change and this tricks them into believing the whole site has changed.
A "slurp spider" is one process at Yahoo! reading. When there are a hundred of them, they are reading the entire site again.
:eyebrow: Heh, heh, heh.
This site is loaded with features I'll probably never have the time to learn.
Working two part time jobs after the holidays I have even less time than ever.
I think I must be becoming retarded. I cannot find the tip jar anywhere. Anybody know where to find it?
The tip jar is temporarily offline after the upgrade. I have to put it back in by hand. (Thanks!)

Get a room....
Back to the topic of the thread, and carrying on from a different more recent thread about recent changes, I have this question:
What happened to the nifty "Multi-Quote" button?
TIA
Whoa, this thing's cool!
Get a room....
Bite me.
Would it have been a more acceptable flirt if I had shown body parts?
Oh, and bite me again.
(Edited to add a fuck you)
Holy he was just kidding Batman...:chill: :comfort:
i think shawnee was, too?
I hope she was.
*cringing in corner*
Bite me.

I accept your apology.
I was just playing. No harm done. I hope your bad day is behind you and today and the weekend are better and brighter for you. : olive branch :

Now yer talkin'!
How does one buttfuck someone in the mouth??
I need to know before I mention it to anyone.
It's something you can only learn by demonstration. Flint will be by to visit you shortly.

Let's see... hmmmm... I do believe every possible orifice-to-orifice connection has been proposed, suggested and -gulp- anticipated. Did they miss one? ..think... GASP! - not that one! Need to stay hetero here... I think they covered 'em all.
Oh, remember to check back in case DucksNuts posts any pics..

You must have missed this:
I will buttfuck you in the mouth.
How does one buttfuck someone in the mouth??
Subdue & restrain chosen victim
Lube up dildo and insert into your own fundament
Turn and squat in front of chosen victim
For normal butt-fucking of mouth simply insert and withdraw from victim's mouth until satisfied
For "chocolate" butt-fuck.....
:::ahem::: Yes, "buttfuck" is used here not so much as in describing the
area in which the action is being taken as it is the
nature of the act itself. The essence of what it is to "buttfuck" someone can be applied to various situations, IE if you use faulty logic, during a debate, you are likely to get
verbally buttfucked. In this case, a buttfuck can be presented as a rebuttal (a variation of the
Simpson Maneuver).
Thanks for the clarification, cuz I thought in some threads I had been . . . oh never mind.
QUESTION:
When I was deleteing some old pictures from old threads I noticed a counter of how many times a picture had been downloaded. What exactly does this mean? I know that for awhile, some pictures you had to click on a link to see them, but as far as I know all of mine were directly embedded in the thread. I am thinking this means how many times they were saved to someones HD, right?
I know the topic of the cellar's beautiful renovations has been spread over a couple of threads, but this one is thankfully more obvious, so I'll ask here.
Has the multi-quote button been taken away or have I simply neglected to pay for the deluxe cellar package, including undercoating?
It's there for me. I don't remember if this is a user option but your user thingie is setup exactly like everyone else's user thingie.
I'm missing something....
The multi-quote button is the one on the right of the Quote button, neh?
Yes.
Thank you for returning my brain. I promise to keep it locked up more securely in the future, Officer.
FYI Biggie:
When I just check in without logging in, the only buton there is the [Quote] one. Upon logging in, the multiquote and quick reply show up.
That's sweet of you to try and give me a legitimate reasonable excuse for my ... embarassing oversight. It only serves to make the magical reappearance of the button you described in the screenshot I posted even more miraculous. But I do thank you.
We seem to have new smilies!
Was there one for the devil previously? And if so, has it disappeared - I can't see it.
They may be in a different order, but it's been a few months since I added any, I swear!
Anyway to copy, save more than 1 at time, so I can insert in emails?
They may be in a different order, but it's been a few months since I added any, I swear!
Oops. There you go - don't bother making any improvements, just shuffle things every now and then and I'll get all excited....
buster, just for you, (and anyone else who notices before I remember to remove the file), here is a ZIP file containing all the smilies:
http://cellar.org/cellarsmilies.zipDo the smilies rearrange themselves? Why?
Well every time I add smiles they wind up in a new weird order. You can specify what order they are supposed to appear, and I try to have 21 of normal-sized ones at order "1" so that only those appear in the first smile box. Otherwise the smiley box gets all streched and confused and muddled.
Good. I thought I was imagining things. :eek:
Have you tried organizing them into different "folders"?
I know another forum I belong to does that, and I think it uses the same forum software
Why does it always show me as logged in? I logged out yesterday and tonight when I come on here to read it shows me is logged in. The little green light is turned on under my name.
Yes I always log out when I leave. Then I come back later and read before logging in and it will sometimes show me as online.
Again, it's cookies. And you probably x'd "remember me".
New guy: I was going to say hi in a new post, but apparently I must reply to a 'few' existing threads before started my own to prove I'm not a spammer.
So, how many is a 'few'?
Welcome to the cellar drax.:D
A few is until we get your dossier from Homeland Security.
I don't know, I haven't been inspired to start any myself. Welcome.

Well, all I can say is that I don't spam, and I'm not a troll (at least, I don't think I am). ;)

Thanks. :)
Question: No avatars? I had planned to use my avatar from EI.
Nope. No avatars. Let your posts speak for themselves. ;)

Welcome :D
Thanks.
Drax, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. New users can't post threads until they are confirmed non-spammers. (Reply to a few existing threads to prove you're a real person.)
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
3. Or it could be something else you don't have permission to do. Sorry!
I had better stop getting this message by tomorrow night at 11:00PM Central Time, or I'm outta the Cellar.
Patience is not one of my virtues in this case.
I guess I've been "heard." I just started a new thread in Nothingland.
Relax. :beer: If you had seen some of the spamage we've had over the years, you'd appreciate the reason for the delay.
And, welcome.
Well, during registration, I had to enter a validation code (standard S.O.P. for vBulletin boards). Shouldn't that have been enough to prove I'm not a spambot?
No, they hire people in underdeveloped countries to get past that.
As well as containing the spam, it does mean new users get to know the place better before creating new threads. If someone has a burning issue they are desperate to discuss they will be willing to wait before starting a thread - after all they can always take advantage of our thread drift policy...
And if it's not a burning issue then it can obviously wait until the ban is lifted. If you need your own thread so badly you might be better off on a faster moving forum (using "you" to refer to everyone apart from me, not to refer to Drax specifically)
The only situation in which I can see anyone being disadvantaged by the rule is a long time reader who knows this place well and wants a Cellar opinion on something current.
Welcome to the cellar drax.:D
A few is until we get your dossier from Homeland Security.
Um, could be a little wait there... we can't find the hard drive.
But I have a feeling the information will soon be available on the internets.
Oh yeah. Welcome, Drax, to the cellar. Don't take it personally.
Does the tip jar work?
It did the last time I used it.
I managed to get it to work eventually
Any rules on siggys? Image size? Whether or not they're allowed? Text line limit? Text size limit?
UT, have you been advertising the cellar on myspace or something lately? Just curious...

Don't know about rules, but people will soon let you know if your sig pisses them off! :lol:

Did you look around at all before you joined? No, you can't put that avatar in you signature.
Hey, the drugs have worn off, and I just noticed that the Meta header has changed...when did that happen?
Couple weeks ago. Too many people were confused by the word "friendly", thinking it meant they were never to receive any sort of criticism or negative reaction whatsoever.
Did you look around at all before you joined?
Ummm...yeah. :rolleyes: No rules about graphic siggies though:
There are only three RULES of the Cellar.
1. Do not try to break the law using the Cellar.
2. Do not try to break the Cellar.
3. Do not be "intolerably irritating".
The meaning of that last item is of course open to interpretation. But basically, if you are a troll, attention whore, moron, spammer, single-issue hammer, or otherwise want to hurt or "test" this community, you WILL be removed and banned.
If you post a link on your first post, expect your message to disappear, and your account to be banned. If you post a message that looks like a pitch in any way, expect your message to disappear. If you post a "real" message on your first post, and a pitch message on your second, expect both messages to disappear. We are extremely effective at this, and we are paying attention.
Lastly, this is a forum for adults, and we assume the content here is likely to be obscene or possibly offensive. All messages express the views of the people who wrote them.
I also need clarification on rule 2.
Ummm...yeah. :rolleyes: No rules about graphic siggies though:
You'll find that rule 3 can cover a lot of things without having to spell them all out.
Couple weeks ago. Too many people were confused by the word "friendly", thinking it meant they were never to receive any sort of criticism or negative reaction whatsoever.
In my time here, I never saw the word "friendly".
I also need clarification on rule 2.
Always be gentle and kind to the Cellar. Do not shoot holes in the walls. Never subject the Cellar to globothermonuclear war. Wash hands before leaving the restroom. Etc. :rolleyes:

I know what rule 3 is all about. I'm asking about rule 2.
Always be gentle and kind to the Cellar.

Sarcasm is an unacceptable answer.
Sarcasm is an unacceptable answer.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Cellar.
Sarcasm is an unacceptable answer.
In whose opinion? To me, sarcasm is the best kind of answer when using humor to extinguish the flame of a silly question. :rolleyes:
Ummm...yeah. :rolleyes: No rules about graphic siggies though
Rules schmules- did you see any graphic siggies? If they were allowed, there would have been someone sporting one.
You can go for ASCII art or smilies, though.
But, but, There was no sign in the lobby saying I couldn't shit in the theater.
Exactly. Rule 3 is rule 3 partly because you can't possibly spell out every rule. It covers "the rest", roughly.
Do not try to break the Cellar refers more to cracking/hacking, denial of service attack, etc.
In my time here, I never saw the word "friendly".
Coincindence? :eyebrow:

is there a key sequence to get the hyperlink dialog box like there's a key sequence to get the "post reply" button?

CTRL-K
Doesn't work for me. More help, please?
Highlight the text you want to make into a link, then press CTRL-k.
Tested in IE; I don't have Firefox available at the moment.
test
------
test failed.
I typed "test" Ctrl-a which highlighted the word test then Ctrl-k and nuttin. FF 2.0.3 here. This is in the quick reply box. Alt-s posts. Still searching.
It moves the cursor to the search box to the right of the address box in the browser. Must be a FF thang.
Oh, well. Try more CTRL-* commands. That's how I found K for IE.
There was a pic I remember seeing some time ago, but couldn't break it down into a meaningful time frame. I searched and searched everything I could think of, and can't find it. I really wanted to see that pic again. Any cellar search advice? Is there a way to search for just posts with attached pictures?
Describe it to us. That may be the easiest way to find it.
2 things:
1st: I'd like to see some post count stats for the last 2years by month.....totals
2nd: Is it possible to put the 'today's post' link ...that is currently inside the 'quick links' dropdown ...up there in the title bar near where 'New posts' currently resides?

Item #2: maybe, let me see how difficult.
Why, in my grisr mill post are the words grist and mill in yellow? I never change the text color.
Did you do a search for the words "grist mill" to find the thread? It will highlight any words you did a search for in yellow.
Look at the address bar in your browser: does it say
cellar.org/showthread.php?t=13648&highlight=grist+mill
or
cellar.org/showthread.php?t=13648
The extra bit at the end of the top link is what tells it to highlight words.
Maybe. I just made a shortcut so I could find it later. Just went back now, by looking under quality images. No yellow words. Damn your bright! Thanks. My very own translator. :bolt:
BU BU BUT Why in yellow, to hi light the search term?
Yeah, just to help you see the word you were searching for.
All I see is a yellow blob. Kinda like when some asshat post in white. :flush:

the bounce in posts, obviously correlates to new members' impact. Both from their actual posts, and the replies thereto. i guess the trend is generally increasing....can you do a nice chart with this, tony?
I thought the hits from IotD had more to do with increased activity at certain times. Though I don't know if that translates to more actual posts.
I joined the 07-04-2004 and see no ground shaking change.
Yeah, jumbo, why is your theory bein' a dick to buster like that? Nice one, Einstein.

I wouldn't be surprised if -when graphed- the data took on the shape of LabRat's ass. Or Mr Labrat's knob at the very least. Maybe both....
Hmmm I joined in Dec 2005 -coinciding with the end of a lull. Conclusion: I breathed new life into the board and revitalized it. Worship me! :D
Aw come on, charts aren't so hard!

It doesn't look like LabRat's ass, but it does have an upward trend: the same thing I get when I
look at LabRat's ass.
Aw come on, charts aren't so hard!
Thanks Cf - could you normalize that to the
presidential approval ratings, and group by forum?
Sure, if you'd like to type up the Presidential chart in text form for me--really just the Bush years, shouldn't be too hard. :)

I thought it meant they had "stealth mode" turned on so you couldn't tell when they are logged in. Last visit becomes n/a.

On "my other site" that's what you get if the user has chosen to hide when they are online. I don't know if this is an option here, but it maybe , 'cause I've noticed lj seems to make a lot of posts without being online. Not that I'm stalking him or anything.....:cool:
I have a question. Could we get a asshat-o-meter, and start throwing those below a certain level into a cesspool or something? Just wondering.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SITE: Have you all gone stark raving mad?
if we say yes, does that mean we exist?
It would mean that an image has formed in my brain of the radiation from my computer monitor hitting my eyeballs in such a way that suggests that some pixels have formed into an arrangement representing a sentence inside a little box. So many assumptions there... . . .
so . . . who are you talking to?
mumbling? exhorting? cavorting?
Just right now there are 9 members and 454 guests!
That's a HELL of a lot of guests! I feel outnumbered.
514 now. Bwahahahahahahahahaha.
is that usual?
(thinks to herself--maybe they're all looking at my boob)
No, it's not.
Yes, they are.

Ha, don't feel self-conscious, Cloud. It's gotta be hard not to when you've just posted something so personal.
I'm sure some folks come in for voyeuristic reasons, but they'd still be all over the boards, probably. And look at that lot in IoTD. We know that a lot of viewers there have slown things down.
On too many boards there will be huge numbers of guests or sometimes lurkers from the registered members pool. It would be nice if a few of these people would step forward more often, but think how awful it would be if all of them did.
There's a craft board that I hit once in a while when there's something I want to look up. Perhaps it will be something I've posted in the past, or a word I need for elsewhere, maybe a particular facet of something where I need to RTFM. I don't log in, just visit and cruise, then depart without a comment. It doesn't indicate my lack of interest in the board, or my overweening interest in one topic or photo, or my secret indulgence in lurking. There's just not that much intent in what I am doing there at that point in time.
I haven't checked the times, but perhaps that huge spike last night was due to Nightsong's latest. Or not.

I read snopes regularly, and although I have a login on their forum I mostly read as a guest. The Glurge Gallery forum can make me ruin my keyboard but I can't devote enough time to post there regularly, and IMHO it's better to be an outsider than an ignored poster...!
Flunt?
what is the past participle of Flint?, Alex?
:D
Our newest member, Flunt. Do you think it's Flint in disguise? Or a twin? You know, you got your Frick and Frack, your Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, your Flint and Flunt...
It would mean that an image has formed in my brain of the radiation from my computer monitor hitting my eyeballs in such a way that suggests that some pixels have formed into an arrangement representing a sentence inside a little box. So many assumptions there... . . .
So are you admitting the existence of a) your computer monitor and b) radiation?

And, what is this Flunt business?!

I don't know, but if you had a cunt, I'd call it a Flunt!
What is the time window for editing a post, and why is it less than 24 hours?
It's 12 hours, strikes a balance between people being able to fix errors and people being able to retract what has already been put out there.
I really like to smell my farts
Why is it so easy to screw with people's quotes?
I cant decide if I like Flunt or Flint better.
I really do like to smell my own farts.
:morncoff: I noticed in the advanced search screen there's a box that says, "check child forum."
We have a child forum?
It's jargon. "Child forum" refers to any forum that is a "sub-forum" in some way, so if you searched the child forums of the "images" category, you'd search both image of the day and quality images.
oh, I get it. duh.
thanks!
We have a child forum?
The collective mental age around is here is about 12, so yes. :)
speak for yourself, doodie head.
Oh, so it's gonna be like that, Mr. Poopy Pants?
huh. Sometimes I think the collective mental age here is -- older than that.
A LOT older!
Sorry, Cloud...it doesn't offset the times when it is 3. :)
Except maybe on average, or median, or something.
If I scratch myself then type, can you smell it?
Whew! :whofart: Man, that's rude.
Oh, um, sorry. It wasn't you, rk; I just farted. :rolleyes:
I never did understand the Yahoo Slurp Spider. How come Google, the best search engine, doesn't have spiders running around? Someone in another thread brought up a good point, if you check out "who's online" you can find some interesting old threads based on what the spiders are looking at.
So, can someone explain spiders to me, and why Google doesn't have them?
Also, I noticed this morning that a spider was viewing a user profile. Why?
I also noticed the Yahoo Slurp Spider's user title is "Spider who has slurped" or something. Funny. I may change mine to "user who has used." Or, maybe not.
As far as I can tell, someone actually registered an account under the name "Yahoo Slurp Spider." This may explain what you saw (viewing a profile), Shawnee.
Google has spiders too. The spiders keep reading the whole site, over and over, even the shit that doesn't change.
The guy that grabbed the Yahoo Slurp spider account hasn't used it in a year. He's only used his regular account 3 times since April, also.
But how do they work? What are they for? I assume for search. Why do you never see Google spiders? I've seen Yahoo (all the time) and an occasional other one (msn maybe?) but never a Googspidey.
Are Googspidey's more stealthy?
Yahoo's system is just not very smart, is what I'm thinking. Yahoo spidering generates 8 times the number of hits that Google spidering does.
I see. That makes sense.
But I luvs me some Google.
I gotta say - I prefer google too - even though Yahoo is listed as the #1 most viewed site.
(as per alexa.com)
I love my gmail too
Serious Question:
How do you intersperse images with text? As in: text, image, commentary, another image, final thought; IE how the IotD is laid out.
I've quoted posts such as this, to see how it was done, and in the case of the IotD, it's an [IMG] of an image at a Cellar URL. But, how do I attach an image to The Cellar, to be [IMG]ed in a thread? It's not on an option the attachments page.
I don't want to reference images from Photobucket, etc. I want to attach them here. Is it possible to place them anywhere other than what seems to be the default - at the very bottom of the post (after the text)?
UT can and probably will answer better than I can. BUt my understanding is that it's just not set up to do that. But let me see if I can get around it in a very awkward way.
This is a picture that I attached in a thread about camping. I'm linking to it here. It will hopefully show up in the body of the post.
and this is a picture I took at the Baltimore Aquarium. I attached it to a post I made in a thread about close ups.
I have no idea how to do this without going back and finding images I had attached in previous threads. It would take some work. Maybe you could compose a post, upload an attachment and then delete the post before submitting it. Maybe the attachment would still be there and you could find it in the user cp.
Edit: I see that it didn't work. It can't be done. I used the [IMG] feature as well. Nevermind.
You can't do it with attachments. You can only do it with images that are hosted somewhere where they let you link to them.
How does the "multi-quote this message" button work? I have clicked it several times and nothing has happened. *I did check the FAQ first.
hit multi-quote for the first (and second or third) quote you want. On the LAST quote you want, just hit the regular quote button.

How can you contribute without going through the link on the bottom?
I have an I.D. 10 T going on.......
Ummm....what are the instructions for creating a poll?
When you start a new thread, the option to post a thread is at the bottom of that page. After you click to start a new poll, and pick the number of answer options, you will have to submit that thread before you actually create the poll (hence my "testing" post, I was trying to get the steps for you. I don't think I can delete it.) Then you get to create your poll, preview it, and submit it.

buying jewelry from Katkeeper still funnels some dough his way too. And I should add that her jewelry is very very nice so you get something nice in return. My wife loves the earrings I got her. She wears them all the time.
Well somebody pm me someplace I can contribute other than on paypal.
not really a question so much as a statement:
I just discovered the "Quick Style Chooser" drop down menu on the bottom left of the page and I have to say "The Cellar vBulletin 3 Style" is VERY NICE!
Who are these people passerine and recuse who have been "logging in" for about 8 hours, and who never have any activity? Are we being hacked by people who look just like us? :worried:
I was serious with that question. They're still logging in, and they were logging in yesterday.
I'm so confused!
Um, well.......they're lurkers, but maybe a special kind. How about pod people lurkers?[color=white]__[/color]:confused:[color=white]__[/color]Would that actually be purkers?[color=white]__[/color]:alien: :lurker: :alien:
OK, I made my little joke last night, but now I'm with Shawnee here. The user profiles for each of these two shows last activity on Tuesday morning, yet they are constantly logging in, as per Who's Online. And they are always logging in several minutes behind the current time; it seems to keep changing to six or seven minutes behind. Do we have a way to yank somebody out of a time warp?
i'm worried that they are furiously banging on their monitors, trying desperately to get out of the warp they have found themselves in, but in vain.
Let's help these poor souls.
Or, you could just fucking ignore me.
Perhaps the Shawnee Foundation (parent organization of the Coalition for a Saner America) should run a telethon. Can we still send donations to the Crappicus address?
Of course you can. Just don't tell the feds. I haven't done the appropriate paperwork yet.
Hey, they're gone! Fly, little ones, be free! (If we love them we let them go. If they come back to us they are ours.) ;)
I believe they were helped along on their merry way - they were logging on for hours upon hours
Yes, once someone important mentioned it. ;)
Literally over a thousand accounts were purged this morning. Most of them, at this point, are here just to get a single link in their user profile in order to spam google with their bogus sites. Most of them are from Russia or at least enter Russian email sites to validate their accounts. The problem is massive and ugly and will not go away.
I expect these are the same people who used to start a thread to spam us but are now prohibited from starting threads because they haven't posted.
I can't even imagine what you have to do behind the scenes, UT. Thanks for all you do. I was concerned that those two were stuck or perhaps having an adverse affect on the rest of us, but I know you keep the situations well in hand.
:)
Wow! Now, cleaning up is definitely good, but it does mean that everybody's share to buy Cellar Island will now be $220 instead of $165. :D

I've been having a similar problem with the Bosque for months now. Recently, I just started letting the spam accounts pile up--I've gotten 100 new users in the past 2 days. At least they can't post because I haven't activated their accounts.
Given that folks don't join the Bosque that often, I'm thinking of getting rid of the joining page, replacing it with an e-mail form request. But I have to figure out which page it is first.
This isn't a question, just seems like a place to say this:
I am LOVIN' the Cellar right now. *does happy dance*
That is all.
I would like some help as to how to compose a search query where the operator is AND to search for posts with two or more terms. The default behavior is OR. I have tried AND and I have tried + and both are ignored. I have successfully used double quotes to enclose whole search strings. But the "AND" eludes me.
TIA
Go to google and use
term1 term2 site:cellar.org
That oughta do it. I don't think the built-in search includes an AND.
Hey awesome, that works for three-letter words too! There have been a couple of occasions where the four-letter minimum was screwing me over.
Excellent tip.
This can also be used to get around the problem of trying to search for words on the Cellar that are only 3 letters long. For example "gun" gives you zero results in the Cellar's search engine, but in Google's
search you get 3,970 hits.
Not that anyone should be opening old gun threads.
Edit: Spent too much time fiddling with links and Clodfobble beat me to the punch.
how long is the noob hazing period these days?
dumbass. are you really going to stick with this?
Your problem is you just don't fit into the clique, newb. *kicks LJ outta the treehouse*
Oh, snap...

Hey glatt, I love your (new?) profile picture - did you take it yourself, or?
Thanks. I sort of took it myself. I was taking pictures during the "golden hour" and the light was perfect. I wanted one of me too, so I gave my patient wife very specific instructions on where to stand and how much to zoom in, etc. She was ribbing me about it, which made my smile more genuine.
Malk or no malk I'll kick your newb butt any day of the week :P
OK...I'm full flavored now! you want some of this?!
....that depends on what this is....
According to the picture, 'this' would be vitamin R.
Hmmm... Wonder if that's anything like vitamin F... You can only find that in powdered toast, though. :D

now here's a reason to be a post whore!!
Of course, most of us have custom user titles anyway, so what's the purpose of this list?
it hasn't been that long since everyone switched over to using custom user titles. it was always fun to watch them change.

lol!! mmm. sorry....
:bolt:
Is this new? Regardless, thank you. I find it very useful.
it's always been there V. i only used that feature once for a very short period of time, but i remember that part.
It looks like BigV and I are on the same wave-length. I haven't touched that button yet. I only read Lookout's replies. Muttley's sinister laugh

I wind up clicking that button about 5% of the time. It's usually not worth it.
Did you see that the "most users ever" has been updated to Sept. 30 07? It was at the old record for quite some time, wasn't it?
Wonder what they were looking at?
well, if YOU don't know . . .
Hey, UT:
My signature has decided it wants to be big, despite re-resizing it to "1" again. (I noticed some others have grown too.) I'll remove it if it won't be small again, but just an FYI.

appears REALLY tiny to me
me too.
did you maybe put the wrong eyeglasses on, LR?
OK, now looks back to normal. Dunno if you did anything, or it was just my 'puter...thanks either way.
**i did make it 'narrow' but when it went back to normal, it was too small. prob just a glitch on my end anyway. Sry.
try holding down [ctrl] and scrolling your mouse wheel
No, that wasn't the prob, thanks though! For some reason just the sigline text was too big on mine and a few other poster's posts...fixed now. Who knows. *shrug*
Hey, UT:
Wha - hunh?
Such things don't need to be addressed to me, it only confuses me
Sorry, I thought it might be a glitch with the Cellar's software (or something technical that didn't have to do with my computer) so I'd let you know. But nevernimd since apparently I was just high for a few hours.
Oh - I was confused already then
This isn't specifically about this site, sorry. But you guys are the smartest people I know. Also it was prompted by the Video thread.
Why do I sometimes get YouTube perfectly, and sometimes in 20 second/ 10 second/ 3 flaming second bursts? It drives me crazy, I never know whether to click on a link or not. If I knew it would cut on and off I would just abandon it, it's the times it is fine that tempt me back.
it's cuz the file is loading as it's playing. it has to do with speed of conection, and the traffic on their site. if you notice, the little red bar at the bottom has a gray part that leads it across....that's how much of the file has loaded. if it's taking too long, hit pause......dont go away from the page....and hit play when the grey line has a good lead.
if it's taking too long, hit pause......dont go away from the page....and hit play when the grey line has a good lead.
That's exactly what I had to do B4 I had Bellsouth upgrade my DSL.
As soon as a video page loaded @ youtube, I would click the play/pause button, and let the video download to my browser cache, and then start the playback. Now that my connection is faster, I don't need to do that...most of the time.
Where in hell is the huh smilie??
I really needed it today!
I thought I explained it perdy good. :p
wish I there was a way to show a clock indicating the time zone. Sometimes it's useful to be aware of what time zone other people are, and I can't keep that stuff in my head.
(it tends to leak)
I have no problem finding a world clock, thanks, but I mean a widget that would show on my Cellar posts.
What difference does it make what time the post was made, or you reply, in the posters home time zone? It's not a phone where you might wake them by posting. Your reply won't wither and blow away, before they get back to read it. You've completely confused me.
More effective stalking ;)
What difference does it make what time the post was made, or you reply, in the posters home time zone?
It's mostly for the convenience of others, as an enhancement to "conversation." For instance, sometimes it's helpful to know if a poster is sipping their morning coffee or tucking themselves into bed for their beauty sleep.

If people actually put where they were living under their names that would do the trick.
yeah, it would. Assuming one can keep time zones in mind, and do math.
Rather big assumptions when it comes to me, I'm afraid.
I need to circumnavigate the globe!

:D
thank you. but a wee bit too big to put on every post, doncha think?
Yea, no not on every post silly woman!
Just for you to look up where everyone was and make it easy to figure out time. Simple math.
But it would only work if people posted where they were. So I guess it will never work. :D

But then you're reading between the lines and making assumptions that may not be valid, or worse embarrassingly wrong.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
we all go through life interpreting data, and we may often be wrong, and often embarassed. So what?
Oh get a room, you two.....
Aw, go sit on a snow pile.
what? no arguing about which time zone the room should be in?
We'll meet at your place, you cupid.
Uh, What's happening here? The cellar is moving really really slow and it keeps alternating between the classic blue appearance and the newer brown/blue look.
Solved, (re the time zone thingy), tho' it's not very fun.
Mine seems fine, lookout. But I have mine on light blue/safe whatever at work.
Was using the random thread picker and this came up:

classicman, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. New users can't post threads until they are confirmed non-spammers. (Reply to a few existing threads to prove you're a real person.)
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
3. Or it could be something else you don't have permission to do. Sorry!
1. Please remember the "random thread picker" is not supported by The Cellar. It's just a little piece of perl script that I scraped off the bottom of my shoe one day.
2. All it does it pick a number at random and gives you the thread corresponding to that number. It doesn't even attempt to verify that the thread in question exists or is available. Most likely you hit the jackpot and got a thread that had been deleted, or one from a private forum, or something like that. In other words, this is fairly normal behavior.
interesting - I've been using it quite a bit and this was the first time that had occurred.
Most likely you hit the jackpot and got a thread that had been deleted
Threads don't get deleted here.
Everything has exceptions. He might have hit the "DoDads" thread, which was accidentally deleted. Or a spammer thread.
There are like 5 threads in the moderator forum, so maybe it was one of those.
I just had a thought - maybe it was a locked thread. Any chance of that happening? In case you missed it here is the link again.

That's OK. He just called a locksmith from

I recall a few months back someone writing that the IotD was supposed to be "family friendly".
Is this true? I have been sent some photos that are NSFW, NSFKids, and NSFthe Aesthetically Sensitive. Its either the IotD or WTF/NSFW thread.
Any guidance?
I don't know about family friendly, but many many people browse IOTD (and the rest of the board) from work. If it's just gory, that's one thing, but if it's truly NSFW, that should definitely go in a NSFW thread.
WTF/NSFW thread, but thats just me.
On the whole, I'd generally rather not see graphic stuff in IotD. One of the NSFW threads would be better.
But, there have been some grisly IotDs in the past. The burned Nigerian gasoline thieves come to mind. I think those can be good for IotD if they tell a story that you aren't seeing somewhere else.
But glatt, aren't all images considered graphic?
What's going on? Can I post anywhere?
I can't post a reply in the
photoshop thread, and the advanced button goes to a page cannot be displayed.
EDIT: Yeah, I definitely can't post a reply in that one thread.
I thought it was a slow day on t'internet but the station next to me is working at normal speed so I guess it's just the Cellar.

It turns out to be a MySQL limitation which is fairly serious to override. It would require downtime and table rebuilds. Not kidn
ok....just rememberd the google trick
site: cellar.org (criteria)
but, who does bri have to blow, anyway?
xoB most likely - he could convince me to do the work for the change
talk about an honorable cause. Not that he would have any trouble on his own...but that's even better than the quest to meet tw.
I have nothing but four letter words for the search function. It never works for me.
Brianna, on the other hand, always works for me. :joylove:
aren't youse guys da sweetest?
Well, second post on the board. Here's hoping I've found the right place to ask, and don't end up looking like a complete noob.
I can't seem to find the field in which I would input my signature to be displayed! I'm just about as veteran as one can be with most forum setups - I first searched the board for any thread telling a person how to change their signature, but it returned nothing that looked relevant. I then looked through the FAQ, which tells me I can edit my signature in My Profile, but looking in there, I see no place for it. I also did try to skim through this thread in the hopes that the topic would come up, but .. my, this is a hefty old thread, isn't it ...
Can someone point me in the right direction? I have the feeling it must be right under my nose, but I am at a loss.
user cp on the top, then modify signature, save.
Aye, Control Panel - but unless I really must update my glasses prescription, there is no "Modify Signature" option, nor in the Edit Profile area.
Is a new member required to contribute through posting a certain number of times, before allowed this feature, or something odd like that? I'm sure I'll be posting with some regularity pretty soon, it just strikes me as strange that I can't find something so common.
its actually 'edit signature' along the left margin....but maybe its disabled for the honeymoon period.
welcome.....mimi?
If it's easily viewable for you, then that's most likely the case, I suppose. I shall post and post yet again where appropriate, and add one in later.
And thank you. :> Shae or MiMi, whichever you prefer, at your service! Or .. well, not service. Unless you pay me. Well. ... And no French Maid outfits, sorry.
ok.....here's your quiz:
1.do you enjoy taking quizzes?
2. is it a shark or a dolphin?
3. who would win in a fight? stimpy or beavis?
4. Picard or Kirk?
5. What do you put on your hotdog first?
6. Have you ever been arrested?
7. Eff, Marry Kill: Sean Connery; Robert Downey Jr; David Letterman
8. How many fingers am I holding up?
8. Are you a perfectionist?
10. What brought you to the cellar?
(Should I be replying to this here? Oh well. From what I've seen, topics tend to go on tangents anyway.)
1.do you enjoy taking quizzes?
Enjoy? More like you do them because they're there, and you're bored. Although in the so-called 'honeymoon period', I think sometimes they can help break the ice and introduce you? I guess.
2. is it a shark or a dolphin?
Both. A shark on wheels and a bacon-shooting dolphin.
3. who would win in a fight? stimpy or beavis?
Stimpy. Beavis would be too busy staring at someone's tits.
4. Picard or Kirk?
I can never decide on this. :C Ever. The only one I didn't like was DS9, and I can't even decide on why that is.
5. What do you put on your hotdog first?
... ... Eeeehh, we're talking typical .. like, Ballpark hotdogs? I'll pass. Gimme a bratwurst and a grill. I'll cook for everyone.
6. Have you ever been arrested?
Nope. A better question would be, have I ever done anything which under the right circumstances would have warranted an arrest . . . but even then, I think the answer would be no. Police around here have got much bigger fish to fry than me.
7. Eff, Marry Kill: Sean Connery; Robert Downey Jr; David Letterman
Out of the three? Ah jeez ... ... Uh... Connery. Downey can just go away, please, and Letterman was never really my sort.
8. How many fingers am I holding up?
*Squint* How many have you got? That could be a trick question. ... But I like the number seven, so I say you do too.
8. Are you a perfectionist?
I was gonna say "only when it comes to my drawings" but immediately rejected that, since I never finish a damn thing I draw! ... So no. No, not by a long shot. I DID however notice that number eight has cloned himself and killed off number nine! There's treachery in this place! D:
10. What brought you to the cellar?
Originally (beware: convolutions!) I was searching for a picture on Google to show something similar to a dream I had recently. It was a picture of the "World's Largest Goldfish", as I'd dreamed of a very large ryukin. The first time I found a similar image, my browser suddenly died. Cry. Second time around, it came up with a link to the Cellar, in the Daily Images area, or something along that line. "Images that will blow your mind .. every day".
BUT. I noticed the capuchin monkey and the typewriter and was INTRIGUED by the simplicity of the images. (This happens all too often, as I've got a graphic designer's mind...) And I was hooked once I started looking around. The tenure of this place and its incarnations past is impressive!
Welcome, MiMi -I see you're totally at home already, you'll have that custom sig it no time .....but use it wisely and always replace the safety
:D
ok.....here's your quiz:
1.do you enjoy taking quizzes? no.
2. is it a shark or a dolphin? shark.
3. who would win in a fight? stimpy or beavis? Stimpy, hands down.
4. Picard or Kirk? Picard.
5. What do you put on your hotdog first? a bun.
6. Have you ever been arrested? Only detained.
7. Eff, Marry Kill: Sean Connery; Robert Downey Jr; David Letterman? N/A.
8. How many fingers am I holding up? One, your middle one.
8. Are you a perfectionist? Only at work.
10. What brought you to the cellar?
http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=441399&postcount=6296. Have you ever been arrested?
There can only be one correct answer to this question, and that's to proceed to tell the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacree, with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that.
Welcome. Good luck with your move, MiMi.
Oooh...I wanna take the quiz, too!
The network admin guy for my building freaked out today saying we were being attacked/hacked through cellar.org. WTF? i seriously doubt that was true, but any ideas what he was seeing?
Were you in chat, versus on the main board?
actually i had both chat and the cellar up.
Chat creates traffic unlike other HTTP traffic because it refreshes its page a lot, but only a network admin with no experience in security would find it to be an attack. My guess therefore is that your network admin has no experience in security.
my guess is that he's a snot nosed pickle kisser
2. is it a shark or a dolphin?
Both. A shark on wheels and a bacon-shooting dolphin.
Cool answer!
Is lookout's office being attacked by the shark on wheels or the bacon-shooting dolphin?
And, exactly how "experienced in security" does one have to be, in order to deal with such zoological abominations?
Unfortunately, the Blob is not affected by the electricity. The Fire Chief notes to Dave that the ploy did not work. Jane’s mother begins to spaz, calling on them to do something. The Chief then points out to Dave that the electrical discharge has caused the diner to catch on fire. Dave wonders if they can put it out, but the Chief says that there is not enough oxygen in the place to keep a fire going for more than ten minutes. In the diner’s cellar, the group notices that there is something burning. Steve then sees that the Blob is beginning to drip down the stairs towards them all. With no other way out, things seem pretty bleak. Jane comforts Danny by telling him to lay down and go to sleep. I suppose she’s gonna snap his neck before the Blob can get to him? She and Steve share a look, a smile and then an embrace, knowing that their proverbial goose is cooked. Outside, the Martins, the teens and the authorities can only watch, powerless to do anything.
Within the diner’s cellar, the cook is using a hand-held fire extinguisher to put out some of the flames. Steve notices that the Blob retreats when the spray hits it. He grabs the extinguisher from the cook and sprays it directly at the nearest chunk of Blob, which promptly backs away. He realizes that the creature cannot stand the cold and this was the reason it did not follow he and Jane into the freezer at his dad’s store. He sprays the beast some more, but the extinguisher is running low. He yells up the stairs to the open phone, informing Dave or anyone else on the other end that CO2 fire extinguishers are the weapon of choice.
Out in the police cruiser, Richie hears his voice and hands off the phone to Dave. After hearing Steve’s message, Dave quickly calls for every extinguisher that can be found…but only the kind with Carbon Dioxide. He has the Fire Chief round up the ones owned by the Fire Department and orders them to start hitting the Blob where it is covering the cellar windows. Mr. Martin approaches and says that he knows where there are twenty extinguishers of that type: at the high school. He just needs help in retrieving them. This is where Tony and the other teens offer their help. They pile into their cars and race away.
In the cellar, Steve’s weapon is about empty, but he continues to call up the stairs to Dave. At the high school, the fleet of cars arrives and everyone runs for the door, but it is locked. Mr. Martin checks for the key but does not have it. With a slight bit of reluctance, he picks up a rock and uses it to smash the glass encased in the door. Oddly enough, the rock that he grabs seems to be the only one on the entire lawn area, almost as if it was conveniently placed there. Mr. Martin then reaches through and unlocks the door. They all rush in and seconds later emerge with the extinguishers.
Back at the diner, the Fire Department dudes arrive with their extinguishers and begin putting them to use. Richie informs Dave that he has gotten through to Washington D.C. and help should be on the way. The kids return at this point and join the Firefighters in spraying the Blob with the CO2 extinguishers. The creature withdraws from the cold, gradually uncovering parts of the diner. As the crowd works to freeze the monster, Dave speaks with some military bigwig on the phone. He outlines their plan to freeze it, but reiterates that they need help moving the frozen monster as the sun will be coming up in a few hours. Whoever he is talking to has the bright idea of blowing it up, but Dave says that will just spread the creature across the countryside. He suggests getting a big transport plane and taking the thing to the arctic where it will never thaw out.
At this point, the creature has withdrawn enough to uncover some of [bthe cellar[/b] windows. Steve, Jane, Danny and the others come crawling out (good thing Jane didn’t snap Danny’s neck after all). Mr. and Mrs. Martin rush over to hug their kids while Dave comes up to congratulate Steve on some “nice work.” Steve thanks Dave for getting them out of there. He admits that he thought their number was a up, a sentiment Dave shared for a moment or two. Steve asks what they are going to do with the monster. Dave informs him that the Air Force is flying in a Globemaster to transport it to the arctic. Steve notes that it is not dead, just frozen. Dave thinks the thing cannot really be killed, but at least they have it stopped. “Yeah, as long as the arctic stays cold,” (AL GORE MOMENT) Steve adds.

You're all wondering why
this boulder is sitting in the middle of this field, aren't you? It's called a
glacial erratic. It was moved here by the enormous forces of a
retreating glacier. Compared to the glacier, this boulder doesn't seem so big. But minus that context, it appears huge and out of place.
But don't worry. That's only because it is huge and out of place.
ps: Looks like your edit window has closed (the glacier retreated). It's here to stay.
I see you, Brianna. Do you see me?
she was totally stalking me. well.....Im not jealous. nyah
I live three miles away from the theater where The Blob was filmed.
Here I am on stage there. photo credit: xoB.
the blob must have been filmed everywhere. The Diner is in Downingtown where i went to High School.
she was totally stalking me. well.....Im not jealous. nyah
Yyessss.... I was indeed.
Sundae and I have made our plans. We'll be showing up...in TIME.
muhahahahahaahhahaaaaa!~(lost control of the evil laugh there at the end but you KNOW what I mean)
PS---why is glatt, mild-mannered glatt, giving me a ration of shite when I am a sick woman?!
I ask.
also--congrats, UT. I do not intend to get you involved in this feud. It's betwixt me and them. I love the photo.
you guys are on crack. :headshake

I think Jacquelita took that picture, while I was checking out her butt. ;)
I was trying to post to this
thread, which I found using SteveDallas's random thread picker, but there's no option to 'quote' or 'post reply.'
What I found interesting is that the
original link in that thread is still good, six years later.
... and it's very funny, too.
same here - perhaps its a closed thread.
The entire Photoshop Phrenzy Phorum is in the archives.

Thanks. So, everything in the archives is dead?
Nah, you can definitely bump super-old threads in the archives in other forums. I think it's because the forum itself is closed.

Not dead. Just awaiting the Rapture.
How do I post a poll? :banghead:
I've looked and looked....
When I select the number of questions and push the submitt button nothing happens. There is no window or format to put the questions.
I know it's me but I don't see any directions.
are you clicking this box, too?
Yes I did. I was thinking I need to do it in IE. I will try later. Thanks.
I have been searching this thread but cant find the question answered on how you attach pictures. The box at the bottom says that the html coding is off. So, besides using the image code, what the the ways I can attach a picture to a post?
If you registered within the last 3 or 4 days, you probably have to wait a few days. your tools are limited at the beginning. keeps the spammers away.

Underneath the reply box is "Additional Options"
Click "Manage Attachments" and follow the instructions in the pop-up box.
While logging off I opted out of running scripts.
I want scripts back. Scripts are more fun.
That will be a local setting somewhere, or you could install Firefox.

We should make the monkey at the top have clickable parts; click his head and his eyes pop out; click his mouth and he sticks out his tongue; click his butt and he toots; click his arm and he gives a high five. Click the typewriter and it starts to type away paper poping up.
What happens if you spank him?
look
at all this cool shit the new version does! do we have this stuff?!
When a new version comes out you have to wait three months so they get all the security bugs out.
It's... it's.... FACEBOOK! :cool:
After a quick browsing of LJ's link, I think that the same thread type linking could be cool, as can be thread tagging for my own future reference and the user albums. How much more server space (thus $$, right?) would this take though? One of the things I really like here now is the relative simplicity, no avatars etc. I'd like to keep the flow of the text relatively unhindered with a bunch of stupid pictures. Unless it's an image thread where of course, that's the point. :2cents:
Yeah, that's what I thought too, what with all the buddy lists and crap. But, you don't have to use those features if you don't want.
I don't care who your buddies are, or about amassing a big 'ole list of my own to show off. If you are my friend, you know it, and so do I, and that's all that matters. *shrug*
my buddy list will consist of the last 3 females to post noody pics. if there is a tie in posting time the winner will be the poster of the most graphic pics.;)
but seriously, that stuff looked pretty cool, but I like the simplicity of the cellar as it is now.
Couldn't log on for a couple hours tonight... notes time...er, last night.
All of DCANet was down. They must have had a backhoe outage or something.
It appears that as everyone googles Barbara Bush for pics today (her sister's wedding was yesterday) they are being directed to the cellar. 2 pages full of guests viewing the barbara bush is hot thread from a couple years ago.
What a good catch, we're number two on images.google.com for her.
eh, even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time.
Imagine how many we'd get if the thread had been [i]Jenna[/] Bush is hot!
it just shows that lookout is a stalker
i watched you type that. I saw the website you were looking at before the cellar too. pervert.
Have we been Dugg, Farked etc? Seems to be moving terribly slowly...
It is summer again, does that mean it is about time for a new round of Field of 64 threads?
I've been waiting for a reason to work on the admin bit that runs it, improving it so it's easier to use.
Summer isn't really a good enough reason though
how about field of 64 for movie sequels?
I dunno: is that like the Field of Dreams? :confused:
http://cellar.org/fieldof64/
Edit: further: "field of 64" describes a 64-team, single-elimination tournament structure. For an improved outcome, the teams are "seeded" into four sectors of 16 teams each; the idea is that the four teams thought to be the best do not play each other until the "final four", if they make it through the rounds.
For our purposes we have taken the "team" tournament idea and put other items into the tournament. The Fof64 page above shows the outcomes, and the threads where we voted on them.
so... what about spoilers?

It's pretty damn rare that I see a cookie I don't remember ever seeing before...
"Cokie Roberts (above) reports in the 'Old News' mode for ABC, while (right) Comedy Channel's Joy Behar chats with Al Sharpton and (far right) talk show host Rush Limbaugh visits with William Bennett and Paul Weyrich."
--caption for an article about 1992 Democratic Convention coverage Columbia Journalism Review, Sep./Oct. 1992 (read it again)
...I don't get it.
I mean, maybe I do--it's a little weird that they called something the 'Old News mode', but that's just kind of nonsensical to me rather than something damning--and I keep reading it again like it tells me to, looking for what I'm supposed to be seeing. I got nothin'.
"...(far right) talk show host Rush Limbaugh..."
I've been trying to log on since about 09.30 BST.
This is the first time I've got on.
I don't know if anyone else has had a problem?
it's running a little slow, but no problems signing on. unless you count the ad for some italian restaurant that pops up when i open the cellar.
Oh that, I made a deal with Bertucci's, we'll be closing the tip mug soon.

I second that question.

There was no deal, never will be. Pop ups are you kidn me? Never in a million years.
The tip mug remains open.
I have a problem with the Cellar slowing down, sometimes to an agonizing crawl, just after midnight. I can go to any other site with no problem, so I theorize the Cellar location, midst several credit cards and financial institutions, that are busy moving money after midnight, chokes the lines.:confused:
Yeah, I found that one last night... a backup of the database is scheduled to happen at 4 am, but the time was off and the system thought it was 4am at midnight.
The database backup really slows things down for about 10 minutes, but there's not much that can be done for that one. It just has to happen...
There was no deal, never will be. Pop ups are you kidn me? Never in a million years.
So the McDonalds Dwellar vouchers that LJ was trying to flog me probably aren't worth the paper they were printed on...?
If you are really getting popup ads along with The Cellar, you probably have a piece of adware from somewhere on your computer that's generating them.
i'm not getting popups. one time when i opened the cellar two additional browser screens opened in the background with ads for an italian restaurant. it was my laptop and i had the wireless turned on even though i was using my cable... I think I may have just picked up some free service nearby. i was really just kind of joking when i said that.
My Opera hates the cellar!
It closes connections, logs me out.....IE is fine but I have to ask for more permissions.
I am just complaining. I am not going to fix it today!

THanks Flint. I wasn't finding it with the search terms I was trying. Anyway, as Dar pointed out in that thread the pic is gone. Darn, wanted to send to my family as my brother just found his house.
Tanks anyhoo.
I was on blogspot looking at visitor maps. I notice that the cellar already has frapper. I was wondering why the frapper map and the chat link is at the bottom of the page instead of the top? Some applications you don't notice unless you go looking for them.
Because the monkey flings them off with the poo.
hummm ...I don't know what to make of that.
Are YOU on frapper???
No, always preferred milkshakes.
mmmm shakes
now that I can get ...
oreo cookie
strawberry
mocha
mmm
cuz my milkshake is betta than yo milkshake?
i'm not sorry about ur milkshake
cuz my milkshake is betta than yo milkshake?
Damn right it's better than yours
I could teach you, but I'd have to charge
My sister spilled her milkshake on 9/11....
My sister spilled her milkshake
Oh, is that what you kids are calling it these days?
Oh ON frapper! I get it but I am slow. hehe. :lol:
Well maybe unattentive and lacking critical thought. Anyway, it sounds better than being slow.
Oh, is that what you kids are calling it these days?
lol - I'm hardly a kid!
Different menu bar choices--within teh cellar, not just browser menu choices. Question is why, please.
pic01 -- cellar via chrome
pic02 -- cellar via firefox
The tabs that you've crossed out - I bet they all include live, or nude, or girls.
Would you bet $111? Again?
I'm running IE6 and no java on this computer, and when I click on "Quick Links," the "Mark Forums Read" and "Open Buddy List" links appear in it's place.
I have never seen "Open Buddy List", ever.
I have never seen "Open Buddy List", ever.
apparently Flint is running the ghey version of the cellar.
i've never seen that either UT.
YOUR FACE IS THEGHEY CEELAR!!!1
Likewise, it was news to me as well. Load Chrome for yourself and see what you get.
nope.:headshake not gonna do it. next thing you know those googoverlords are going to make everyone drink koolaid. not joining that cult.
uh huh.
I'm keeping my old Tandy computer around. It's unplugged right now because I don't want the googoverlords to put any of their nasty overlordian programs in there. I'll be the only one with a working computer when they pull the plug and make the evil agenda known to you koolaid drinkers. :hide:
Just a quick question.... of what use will your computer be when the "plug is pulled"?
all you geeks will want an uninfected machine and then i'll be rich.
Step 1: Keep machine uninfected
Step 2:
Step 3: Get Rich
Got it. Your Chrome does not have Javascript enabled.
Buddy List is under Quick Links, but Quick Links can only be shown if the browser is allowed to do the dynamic page bits, in Javascript.
Load Chrome for yourself and see what you get.
you are a funny man Flint. ghey. but funny.
[size=1]btw I already said it was Java[/size]
Sy Sperling Sy Sperling Sy Sperling
Don't say his name three tiiiiiAAAARGH /dead
too late. good bye, dear cellar.
erm... a search for "sy spreling wiki" brings up a page called "eating one's own dog food" lol
Java and Javascript are quite different things actually
your face is two different things
question:
What is the process for a thread/forum to become an archive? And are they all permanently read only?
example:
http://cellar.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&f=20&page=1&pp=40&sort=lastpost&order=desc&daysprune=-1They are read only, areas that seemed like a good idea at the time, or user-run areas that are no longer active.
Thank you for your reply.
OOOHHHH only 2.5 weeks till Sylar and friends are back on TV![/threadjack]
Now I'm imagining a spinoff sitcom called "Sylar and Friends." That would be awesome.
Now I'm imagining a spinoff sitcom called "Sylar and Friends." That would be awesome.

Help, help, help.
In her orgy of delight that I am back in the office, Hely was stepping all over my keyboard this morning. I don't usually let her do this, but some numpty locked her in here last night and I was being indulgent to assuage my own guilt. Anyway, she's made the Cellar go really big. That's the technical description. The text is HUGE. This hasn't affected any other websites or my desktop.
Help, help, help?
I logged out for lunch - yes, I went out today! - and when I logged back in it had returned to normal. Phew.
Whew, glad the swelling went down, SG. ;)
Can I attach an mvi file to this website or do I have to find a different host site? I should know this, but I uh.....don't. I tried yesterday but it took so long to upload that I had to quit while it was still uploading.
Cellar pages are loading slowly today. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I on Double Secret Probation here at work (in which case I need to know so I can skedaddle!) :)
It's SLOOOW right now.
Lots of guests viewing the recent T-Bone IOTD.
I need help figuring out (yes AGAIN) how to post a pic. I have a kodak camera, which seems to be the AOL of cameras :mad:
Is the picture on your computer, and can you find it?
I usually crop it to remove extra details and then paste it to my screen. Sometimes I can fit 6 or 7 pictures on there before it is covered and I have to buy a new monitor.
LOl lookout, yes glatt, in fact I am trying to upload it through Cellar "manage attachments page, but it is taking forever and I suspect it is too large
Binky - It's a two step process. First you have to get the image from your camera to your computer. Then you have to upload it to the cellar.
Getting the image to your hard drive
This should work for most digital cameras. You should have received a (probably USB) cable with your camera. Plug the cable into your camera and your computer.
Turn the camera on. With the cable plugged in, it should act like a removable drive (just like a thumb/flash drive if you've ever used one of those).
Press Windows_key + E. That opens a My Computer window.
You should see your camera as a drive in the list. Click on the camera/drive. Explore around in there. You should find the picture(s) you want to save.
Press Windows_key + E again and click on My Documents and then My Pictures. Click and drag the pictures from your camera drive to My Pictures.
Your picture(s) should now be on your hard drive.
Uploading your pictures to the cellar
Start a new message or reply to one.
Look down below the "Submit Reply" and "Preview Post" buttons. You should see a "Manage Attachments" button. Click that.
Click on the Browse button and find the picture you want to upload to the cellar. Then click on upload. There are restrictions on the size of the files you can upload.
When your image is uploaded like this, you won't see the picture in preview.
Let me know if you still run into problems.
Then you want to download
irfanview (free application).
With irfanview you can resize and/or resample the image to get it smaller.
Or "open with" MS Office Picture Manager, if you don't have that other software and don't want to eff with it.
Go to Edit Pictures
Compress Pictures
Choose "web pages."
Save
I occasionally get rid of old images I have posted, to try to keep from hogging my fair share of server space. I can't "see" the check boxes to mark which ones I want to delete for ones older than today. Anyone else have this prob?
ETA who is downloading radar pictures?? wtf? lol

Yes. Neither myself nor Pooka is seeing the "checkboxes" under User CP / Attachments /
Wow, I didn't know you could do that! I've just been putting them on my own host. Hm.
Space is actually the cheapest resource we have! Don't delete just to save space.
Well, I can't anyway, so no prob :)
I don't contribute financially like I would like to, so I was trying to do what I could.
So being Mrs February in the Cellar calendar didn't appeal to you?
:lol:
Technically I wasn't asked. March is my birthmonth though...;)
I am awful, I just stick pictures on, I don't host them anywhere. I tried it, but I had difficulties with some of the hosting sites.
I've got my own domain for my business, lots of room there, so that's where I stash those files.
yeah...i can't delete ANY of mine.
BWAHAHA! We're saving it all for posterity, Jim. That way, your kids will know all about you.
I think the checkboxes are only for pictures in posts which are still "editable" for text as well. I think the general edit window is 24 hours.

You'd think; but there has always been a "loophole" wherein you could delete attachments from the User CP after the Edit window had closed.
hahaha, just logged in to say what flint just posted.
quit stalking me, sweetcheeks
quit stalking me, sweetcheeks
are you nuts?
quit stalking me, sweetcheeks
stop reading my mind then longdong !!
If you delete the pictures, or even host them on another domain, when going back and reading old posts they don't make sense with little red x's. :(
for proof of that, look at the first page of the NSFW thread. Where a picture of Bruce's ginormous something or other should be there is only a little red X.
Maybe the picture is more accurate than you think.
I've only been here forever, and I just noticed there is a "beest" and a "beestie." Wait a minute...which one is married to monster? Are they related? I'm confused. Halp!
Beest is married to monster.
Who is up to funny business? :eyebrow:
Oh, and they have PMs turned off. Sooooo clever.
Keep trying, you'll never be me...there just is no other.
Should I delete cookies on this site? If so, how often and what will be the result?
I don't think I ever have. Just wondering.
Deleting Cellar cookies will cause it to forget where you are in the forums. Cookies aren't harmful in general and deleting them is probably a waste of time.
Cookies in moderation aren't harmful. Tony, why are you trying to mislead our young people? Everyone knows cookies are a "sometimes" food.
Thanks UT.
Obviously I'm not computer savvy. Had a crash not long ago and I'm a little skittish.

Not that I know of. I know they're not available up here. If they were, they sound like something i might enjoy...in which case I'd know about them. lol
We do have tim tams though...although I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about how fabulous they are.
Not the tim tams again. Damn, I had almost forgotten how much I wish I could have some.
Well you can have some if you want to send me your address. I'm afraid I lost yours when I cleaned up. :)
Is Firefox a better browser than IE (espescially on this site)? If you think so, what are its advantages. I'm thinking about downloading it but would appreciate some input before I do all that.
I've noticed that some sites recommend Firefox. You guys have never steered me wrong.
Firefox is an excellent browser, and it's what I recommend. It's easy to test drive, if you just want to download it and take it for a spin. Firefox has been faster than IE at security enhancements and new features, and with add-ons you can often improve what you need to do and improve your browsing experience.
This site should work similarly in all modern browsers. so no need to switch just for here.
I haven't used IE since some people here recommended Firefox about 3-4 years ago. Its been nothing short of great since then.
UT, in some forums the administration uses their position titles as user titles and color codes them for emphasis (e.g. [COLOR="Red"]Administrator[/COLOR], [COLOR="Blue"]Moderator[/COLOR]).
Could we, for banned users, distinguish between those who voluntary terminated their participation and those who were involuntarily terminated? The two rationales for banning are very different. If you have the ability, please consider putting the word "[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]Banned[/COLOR]" in a color other than black for those who requested that status.
Nice idea. Or maybe a different phrase ... "on gardening leave" or "having a nice cup of tea and a lie down".
Thanks for the input. Most people have leaned toward firefox since I've been checking. I will give it a whirl this eve.
It's a good idea NB, but right now all users to into the same banned box no matter what, so I'm not sure there's a way. If there was, I'd add text to it too: "banned by request" or some such.
Oh! There was a way, and it's actually kind of easy.
Although once in a while all banned users are purged, so their status changes to just gone.
Where's that awesome gap picture of Jinx's arse? I tried their vacation threads and Labrat's ass thread ...don't tell me they removed it? Jinx, Jim, have pity on a poor calendar girl... you left chat last night just as I came back to ask you.....

Hey UT...or someone...how many posts have to be approved before a new member can post freely, without approval?
1, but automation takes a little time afterwards for it to happen.
Has something changed? It used to be when I hit "new posts" I would get a list that started with unviewed new posts, then a line, then the list would continue on to posts that hadn't been updated since my last log-in.
Now I get new posts that I haven't viewed...but to see the rest of it I have to click "here" to get to the list.
Is this something in my settings or has it changed? Just wondering.
Strange. maybe the number of "new posts" exceeds the number of entries you allow per page? I'm really only guessing here. :)
No, because it varies. Sometimes there is nothing there, and I have to "click" next to get the chronological list.
Also, everything is set to forum default in that arena.
Oh hush...
I just thought someone else would have seen this, or encountered it.
brat...
:p Perhaps UT can explain it.
If there are no "new" posts, it says something like "to view threads from the last 24 hours click here."
Then I see the posts in chronological order.
Right now I have 8 posts to choose from when I click new posts. The heading reads:
The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts. which is what I used to see under posts that came after "new" posts. And in this case, those threads have been updated since my last visit because they are the new posts.
Ugh, wish I could screen shot.
Sounds like a cookie problem.
I just checked cookie settings on my computer. It's set to "medium" and I haven't changed anything.
I think that "to view threads from the last 24 hours click here" line is what you get when you're not logged in. That makes me suspect a cookie problem?:confused:
It's weird. I noticed it yesterday at my work computer too.
I'm sure it's a cookie thing. That's what you get when you're logged out, too.
....or there are no new posts to view. I think it defaults to
"To view threads from the last 24 hours click here."
But what I'm saying is that it didn't USED to...for me.
No big deal...just wondered what had changed.
I just checked cookie settings on my computer. It's set to "medium" and I haven't changed anything.
Maybe you need to put the cookies on a higher rack and rotate the cookie sheet when they are halfway done.
You could try that.
Rotate this cookie sheet!
Too much salt in your cookies.
I understand.
So does Limey.
Maybe you need to put the cookies on a higher rack and rotate the cookie sheet when they are halfway done.
You could try that.
Why is this? Because of the shape of the element or because its colder near the door?
But what I'm saying is that it didn't USED to...for me.
What did it used to say, when you had already read everything new and you clicked on "New Posts?"
Oh, wait, I think I understand. You used to have a whole bunch of other threads listed that were older, that had not been updated since your last login but "still contained unread posts," right? But you never read those, you just left them down there in the list, right? After awhile, they get too old, the system just automatically marks them as "read."
And I think the colors have changed, particularly in the left column where the user information is, and in quote boxes. I'm using The Cellar vBulletin 3 Style.
Geez if you think things are changing now when I'm not really doing anything to the site, imagine what you'll think when we UPGRADE
Be gentle, that's all I ask. ;)
Is the recoded post time off by an hour or is it my computer?
and it says you posted that at 8:03PM.
Come to think of it... I vaguely remember resetting the time in my user CP to combat this problem.....
ok my settings are correct. EST automatic correction for DST. maybe that makes it right and it'll go wrong for me whenthe old DST start date passes.... :?
Geez if you think things are changing now when I'm not really doing anything to the site, imagine what you'll think when we UPGRADE
YEAH.....like THAT'LL ever happen
I have the software, I'm just afraid to use it!
It means updating all the things I've changed

Most users ever online was 1,719, 09-30-2007 at 11:10 AM
Was something going on that day?
Some IotD was linked on Fark/Digg/Reddit. I think that one in particular was the Air Force base that got filled with emergency foam?
Huh huh....she said foam...
The foam was a year before. I think UT said that when the Cellar changed hosts, the records got reset. I think the foam was even more people.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :thepain:
AMEN!! I hate it when you go to a site that has been "updated", and you have to go looking all over for the log out/in buttons, and the other stuff they change for no 'apparent' reason. What really gets me is when they change the name of some feature or content, without telling you, so that, when you go looking for it, you feel lost as hell.
I accidentally missed a w and typed ww.cellar.org and got a blank page with the word Guh in the upper right corner. I thought that was weird.
Nice. That must be new, because I know I've mistyped the address in exactly that way before.
Guh is the default page for the server. Any address not configured will return that.
my standard word instead of ur standard word
are you trying to say it's not all about me? cuz that's just crazy talk.
Well, I don't know much about the intrawebz (I mean, I know it's a series of tubes) but I would think that if the www wasn't right it wouldn't go anywhere.
That's interesting, UT. I sort of found a Cellar Easter Egg!
It only goes somewhere because UT has put something there (a Guh page.) Most sites will automatically resolve to the www. address if you just type it in without it (like
http://cnn.com, for example.) But not everyone takes the time and effort to do that. UT just loves us, that's all.
OK, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny.
:)
How can I search for the "quote of the day" thread? The word "quote" is omitted, and the remaining words are too short to register.
I just wanted to post this:

I thought that if you had an image that was too large to attach, it was simply rejected. But over in the most recent treasure hunt thread, I was going to try to see what the least amount of compression I could get away with on an image is. I tried to upload a 211KB image, just to see if it would work, and it was accepted, but the image became a 76KB image, with horrible artifacts. I thought that was weird, so I deleted that, compressed mine some more and , tried uploading a 192KB image. It too was accepted, but was also compressed into a 76KB image. Then I tried doing a 134KB image, and it looks like that was accepted as is.
What is the file size limit? And will the program accept anything larger than that but simply compress it into a 76KB file?
The filesize limits are 180k and 1600 wide or high. The system attempts to resize any image beyond those sizes.

That's awesome. Well there's no big news except that she has a new album coming out tomorrow, and that image here is #10 in Yahoo! Image Search which is where the traffic is coming from.
Here are the top phrases that people have used to get to the Cellar in the last day:
That's interesting! I always wonder about the guests, and what brings them here.
"how much does it cost to build a fence" HAHAHAHAHHAaaaaaaahhhh
Loved that thread.
There is always someone reading that fence thread. It's kinda creepy...

I noticed that too. I find it amazing. I mean out of all the threads on here, that one seems to get so much play.
Nope, can't find a thread called "how much does it cost to build a fence" can only find "how much does it cost to fence a yard." Of course, my search skills might be off.
The only reason I remember it was because of the subsequent jokes regarding the phrasing: "fencing" as selling stolen property, etc.
I guess my memory only sucks sorta, not completely. ;)

That's because most people want to keep wetbacks out.
The guests are all viewing the Braxton Dress thread right now. Maybe she should consider wearing a fence next time?

I'm having a weird problem with some aspects of posting to the Cellar. When I create a new thread or reply to a post, none of the buttons seem to work on the form for creating a post. You click on them and they do nothing. I can't insert image links, do youtube embedding, insert one of the smilies, etc. And in the "attach files" box, the button to click to attach files doesn't even exist.
This is in Firefox 3.6.3 on my work computer. My home PC works fine and I think it's got the same version of Firefox.
If I switch over to Chrome on my work PC, everything works fine.
Any idea what is going on? I let the computer update Shockwave in the last few days. That's the only thing different I can think of.
I dunno. Turned Javascript off?

The box is checked to have java enabled.
Does this mean anything obvious? These are the errors I found when I open a Cellar reply window. I don't understand any of this stuff. I may have to switch to Chrome for the Cellar.
How long are post stored?
I'd love to say forever, but once I die, there'll be about three months of unanswered invoices until they pull the plug on the cage.
Oh come on, surely you have the datacenter information and account number written into your will? Someone would take care of it.
They would have to figure out how the tip jar works, otherwise my assets won't cover the bill.
There were 76 (if I counted right) "Guests" viewing this thread
February 24, 2007: Massive sinkhole in Guatemala
and only 1 visiting the current one.
Since that thread is linked from the current IotD it may be spiders indexing.
I have a question...
... How long has this website been running? (Or, rather; How old is the oldest post on this forum?)
Also - Did the forum come, before the IotD? Or after?
So many questions.
I love this forum, and the IotD... Been browsing both, for years, 'til I finally took the plunge, and became a member. Y'all were very intimidating, somewhat like an elitist "old boys" club... Some of you still seem that way, but, for the most part, you're all very kind, incredibly weird individuals.
I think, what I love most about this place... Is that you'll let just about anyone have whatever opinion they want. Everyone has a home, and no one is left out, or even (fully) shunned, by the community.
... 'cept Republicans... But, then, that's their fault, isn't it? ;)

Hasn't the server changed also?
Several times, but all the behind the scenes stuff, I dunno how interesting that is for people.
(And I always hesitate to describe the current platforms in case people are just looking to hack.)
I have another question! A question so poignant, so incredibly urgent, that it boggles the mind!
... How many original Cellarites are still around?
I think the number is about 6 amongst regulars, and there are also a handful that just check in from time to time.
That's really impressive.
Thank you, Mister Undertoad, for creating a unique place for people to be themselves.
You'd think, with the Internet as it is, that such places would be abundant... they really aren't.
You must get it, all the time, but - I truly appreciate all the work you've put into this place, and everyone who's helped make this such a welcoming, unique, truly awesome community.
Thank you in return! I hope you continue to enjoy the place!
Here is a question for ya..
Has there ever been an inquiry by a law enforcement agency as to posts that were made on the Cellar?

Possible, but I know for a fact that some agencies can look inside if they want to. I am glad to hear that all is quiet on the Eastern Front.
Can I search within a thread? Say, I want to find craft sites that have been listed in the Keen Links thread?
yes, you can. look at the bar above the first post on any page. if you're logged in it says ' search this thread'
Thanks! It worked. I searched within for the word 'craft' and got one of my old links.
I am working on a project so even one is a big help.
Now I need some of Bruce's crafty links
That's what all the ladies say.....
I wish we had a sub forum called DIY.
I've a ton of projects that seem to vary across the existing fora: roll your own firmware for the Canon camera -- Quality Images. Shade tree mechanics -- somewhere. I built a kayak, (Yes, glatt. I know, I know. I know ok?) -- not yet posted. Numerous recipies -- Food and drink, ok. But my new meadmaking too?
It's not just me. Mercy made an *awesome* outdoor fireplace. It has inspired me to make one of my own. I have the bricks already, but I'm not there yet. Case's creations, and loads of costumes by others. A DIY forum. That is my request, please.
is not creative expression?
I guess so. At least it helped me learn the new spelling of an old poster's handle. thx
I was thinking the same BigV. There are so many projects scattered here. I was wishing there was a 'How To' page for requests.
I thought the creative expression meant just that. Expressions like poetry already done and not so much a resource spot. (?)

Some express themselves in words.
Some express themselves on the canvas.
Others express themselves in bricks and mortar, or wood, or clay, or marble, etc, etc, etc.
It's all the same creative expression. We all just have different outlets. :)
For me, it's sychronized belching.
And for others, it's between the bed sheets.
Whatever you do, to express yourself, whether you consider it to be, or not, is creative expression of self.
Express yourself.
And
respect yourself.

I just put someone on ignore - They have now decided to harass me using Private messaging. Can I block spexxific posters or is it an "all or nothing" feature?
Do what I do and don't read them :) Then you don't get annoyed plus whoever is being an asshole has got it out of their system too.
yeh that worked out real well. :eyebrow:
well it did for me, ymmv :)
damnit, monster! open that pm!
Start a thread and post all the private messages. The situation will get resolved one way or another.
damnit, monster! open that pm!
nope. :)
I posted one that was inappropriate/inexcusable as a PM and then I decided just not to open any that I could tell were going to be irritating. So far the count is at two :lol: And four friend requests because I just don't do all that social stuff. And I'm so much better off for it. I'm operating the same policy with emails. It's very liberating.
Start a thread and post all the private messages. The situation will get resolved one way or another.
Nope - No can do. Private is private.
I won't lower myself to their standards.
Stop being such a fucking drama queen/wimp/hypocrite. Child abusers tell their victims it's a special secret. Not all secrets are good and should be kept. If youir PMs are abusive, report them, reveal them, blow the whistle. If they're just unpleasant -Man up and ignore them -opened or unopened. But FFS stop whining. And claiming "private is private" after "hinting" (:rolleyes:) at who has your knickers in a twist is is complete fucking hypocrisy. Sheesh.
And yup, don't bother PMing me to tell me how much I hurt your feelings. Just do it right here and we'll all feel better.

I think it would be good housekeeping to have that. I was recently looking back through the "quality images" forum for an old thread, and I had to go past a shitload of threads from the photo contests. With the 5 voting threads for each one, plus the original, we'll have 60 photo contest threads after this current contest is finished. They are clogging up the "quality images" forum.
I think the contests are popular enough that there will be new ones for the foreseeable future.
I Thurd what Jim and Glatt said
I'll vote with the majority, which ever way it goes.
I agree. Sorry for doing that to the images forum :(
perhaps we could have a mediocre images forum for all the lolcats and shit.

Oh, OK. Thanks for your help.
Undertoad, I've had really odd things going on today. Will you please take a look at my question and tell me what you think?
Here at home I see my edit. So, something weird was going on with my work computer today. *shrug*
Your work computer is ridiculous!
ch'yeah, I know!
Probably they're spying.
Well FWIW spying can be done without causing such ridiculous problems!
It was odd. That sort of stuff boggles my mind, due to what little I know about how it all works.
My work computer should be better than this old one here at home, that takes about 20 minutes to boot up...but I guess not!
Uh...When did we get a bar?:mad:
Just an observation, everyone and their guest dog is looking at the watercolors thread from August 1 2009.

It seems to come up that way occasionally, but not always.
Does it depend on whether you use cellar.org vs.

jus' sayin'
The SDRTP links to
www.cellar.org/... , but I always use cellar.org/...
http://cellar.org is what I use. It was happening while reloading pages. IT would actually switch from one to the other. most strange.
Should be much better now, I was optimizing the database and sometimes it got too busy and timed out.

Yeah, when you said at the bottom of each post, I wasn't expecting it to be a continuation of the text, I expected it to be at the bottom. My bad.
I thought it would be at the bottom of the page. But no, there it is right in the post.
checking after a restart. only thing diff was that firefox had updated.
still there.. i deleted it

nothing there under this ID. wtf?
Could you have accidentally set your signature? That would explain why it's only there with one account.
Unrelated... I'm having a problem too.
Every time I click the "post" button, it ends up with some kind of stupid comment added to the thread.

It's very simple,
pick a day not being used,
follow the format; month-date-title,
don't post copyrighted material without permission.
Its easier than that - just send it to bruce :eyebrow:
I see that Redux elected to have his account closed even though his temporary ban had been lifted. Did he express a desire to return with a different approach under another nick; or, is the Cellar simply not his cup of tea?
You know, if he had formed any relationships with anyone here, we might have someone, anyone, who would be able to answer that question.
He asked me to delete his account. I referred him to UT.
I will delete on request. He requested.
Ut , Why cant I just grab a Link to a Pic on my flicker page and post it Any more ,
I use the Pic thingee ^^^ up there , but it doesn't work ,
Any body else having that problem ??

I want my account deleted. Henry asked for this some time ago and said it wasn't done. Redux got his deleted.
So, please, delete me and every post I've ever made.
Thank you, in advance, for your fair and balanced approach.
Asking for your posts to be deleted is not a reasonable request, but if you seriously want your account deleted, you should PM UT. Why though?
Other moderators may not delete accounts by request but I do.
We don't delete posts.

I've had it with the bullcrap, the multi-paths of what is OK and what is not. Had it with the people who can't have a real argument without beating down everyone around them. I've had it with ass-kissing and money being in the top 5 indicators of what is permissible.
So UT, with all due respect and thanks for all the time and space you've given me to be...ME, I humbly ask to be deleted.
It's turned into a bad relationship with no end in sight. You can leave a marriage. You can stop hanging out with bad friends IRL, you can even desert your family...but here, you can't escape ugly and hateful, and honestly...the happy puppy pictures (or the idea of such) have become too far and few between for me to find any kind of balance, or any kind of stepping stone from what used to seem like "real" arguments about "real" issues and not just a bunch of ugly people pretending to know everything about everything and everybody.
I love some of you very much (especially monster, I'd go lesbo for her ;) but the nasty faction is too much. For me. Personally.
Now flame away, tiny ones, as you will. If you try hard enough, your dick might grow into a real live boy.
Au revoir!
No, I'm serious.
This is what I want.
This place makes me physically ill, due to the fucktards, and I must remove myself. Unfortunately, I have no willpower to stay away on my own. I'd channel Pie, but she is nowhere to be found.
I'll miss you. Will you try to stay in touch?
But banning and/or deletion won't work, you can just register under a different name.
yeah. at least update your facebook once in a while if you are going to leave. I didn't realize Pie wasn't coming around the cellar because she's so active on facebook, I was getting my fill of pie over there.
monster has my gmail acct, if you want to keep in touch from time to time.
I'll miss you, and jinx, and glatt, and griff, and Pico, and Sundae, and Dana, and spexx, and HLJ, and Zen, and Flint, and monster, and Bri, and beest, shel, foot, and HM, and grav, and Pete, and...so many. I love you guys. thanks for putting up with the many myriads that make up 'me.'
:sniff:

But you will be punishing the rest of us who look forward to your posts. :mecry:
Bullshit, you just want to commit suicide to make a point, which is bullshit behavior on your part and the point you're trying to make is wrong as well. Maybe you can convince someone else to delete you, but I won't.
You're just too sensitive sparky, and you're sensing all sorts of crap that doesn't exist.
That's right, UT. Discount me. Go right the fuck ahead and discount what I'm saying. It's just hysteria, right? You don't know anything about how I feel and what is going on. But discount my feelings. Whatever point you think I'm trying to make: the point I'm making is "shoot me in the face once, shame on you, shoot me in the face fifty fucking billion times, shame on me."
When you're done, then you can grade my posts on a scale of "honesty" to "bullshit" and the entire continuum in between. But rest assured not one thing I've ever said has been dishonest.
Having posts graded and thoughts discounted and shat upon...this IS the problem.
Shawnee, if you go the terrorists win.
I'll buy you a french fry if you stay.
thing about honesty is that when you're feeling one way, your honest reaction may be entirely different from your honest reaction the very next day, or even hour.
we know you're a fluid personality, shaw. i hope you will be honest enough to admit that you're wanted and loved here. fuck the dumbshit, and pass the beer nuts.
As I said: you need to stop, breathe, and take stock.
Respond; don't react.
If you wanna go, then deletion is irrelevant...if -- ultimately -- you wanna stay, then deletion is irrelevant.
Again: stop, breathe, take stock.
and don't leave me all alone with this bunch of loonies!
(you're trusting me with your gmail address? I can't even find where I put my kids half the time :eek: you'd be better off trusting me with your g-string account if you're serious about the lesbo thing.....)
I do not want my account deleted. thanks :)
Wow and again out of the blue comes good ole henry.
Amazing timing... simply amazing. :tinfoil:
It sounds like good advice.
I don't think the Cellar would be improved by anyone leaving.
given that Shawnee mentioned him, it's hardly out of the blue, is it, Crassie? Doesn't look like your little tin hat is working.
Sometimes the cellar is improved by people taking a break. It was definitely less whiney there for a week or so.
So what you are implying is that when someone's name gets mentioned in a thread, they get an email alert or some other notification? :eyebrow:
Seems more like after being away for a year Refux has a meltdown and ole Henry shows up in his defense. A month later same thing with Shaw and poof - there he is again.
Coincidence? Methinks not.
I said it then and I'll say it again.
"Anything new over at dissident or able2know?"
You've checked up on me (meaning: you've 'googled' me; meaning you love me and wanna have my babies).

Try Sheldon, although I highly doubt you'd meet his standards either.
*sigh*
Generally: the 'finger' is a request that YOU should go and fuck YOURSELF (something I imagine you have quite a bit of practice with...fucking yourself, that is).
I guess Sheldon declined your request as well.
Nope: I never requested that Sheldon go fuck himself, only you.

Only just got to come back in... forgot all the things I wanted to say :)
I think you wanted to tell me I look sexy with this winter's beard.
I was going to say you looked handsome,yet tired. Different, humble.
The fact you look different and changed pulls at my heart strings, and not in a good way. You look sad.
...but then,rebelling against my weird emotional reaction, I thought, maybe telling you don't look like an arrogant bastard anymore, you would appreciate better.
I am not editing my first reaction, because the former is the truth and not the latter.
I hope you are doing well jimhelm, and I wish you all the best for the upcoming holidays and beyond.
and you too jinx, where ever you are.
how ironic. I was just sitting here thinking that this is the first pic I've seen of myself recently ( that I'm not drunk in ) that I didn't look depressed.
I appreciate the sentiment, sky... I've been an arrogant bastard to you and to others, but I never thought I LOOKED like one. I think you said once that I look like a former lover of yours. Could you still be projecting his manner onto my appearance?
Anyway.. I feel happier lately. in general. things are about to get pretty sticky in my life, yet I have a feeling that I will be just fine.
this concludes the jimhelm segment of this thread. please forgive me for my attention whoring.
[/cock]
we has pix. The new face shape suits the beard better. How's the weight thing doing?
Sorry,
Yes, probably,Thought of that myself although he was never arrogant, but you never looked it.
No, you don't look depressed. You look great. Just the set of the mouth is different. Determined looking, then. Your holding up great.
Yes, you'll be just fine, and knowing and feeling you will be, you will be.
Now that I have embarrassed myself on a public board. lol
You look great Jim. Like I said, I wish you the best, as we all do.
You're looking good, Jim. Keep sluggin'.
Lookeeeeeng good Mr H! And I'm not just sucking up.
slurrrrrrrrrpppppppppppppppp.
Hey, that's not me!
I searched for the thread titled "Today". I used the search term 'Today'. Using the search function up there in the gray bar, under the typewriter. It was the SEVENTIETH search result. 70.
Why is that?
hit advanced search, then change your settings to look for titles, not post contents.

Anyone else locked out for hours this afternoon/ tonight?
Only just got to come back in... forgot all the things I wanted to say :)
Yeah - in all the perving over Jim's beard, I never got a reply. And it happened again today. Am I being confused with Emma?

Generally that means somebody has hotlinked the attachment.
Ahhh, that makes sense.
Curiouser and curiouser, this cat is.
Found it. It's located in a thread of "hottest women".

They linked it quite some time ago, so their thread must be getting some attention today.
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice as a Dwellar !
Cellar seems somewhat sluggish this morning and i keep getting database error pages. Is that just me?
me too. Only around 80 viewers, so it's not from heavy use.
I guess that the cellar's way of helping me get the housework and stuff done......
The Cellar: Mother's Little Helper
(I have short-timer's syndrome. We are off all next week!)
beest is off today and still in bed. i see no reason to work if he isn't.......
(he's off for the next two weeks, too)
I have a sneaking suspicion that the database server is dying.
(he's off for the next two weeks, too)
Then so are you! :thumb:
I have a sneaking suspicion that the database server is dying.
That sounds bad! Are we all going to have to go thru Cellar withdrawals at some future date? :eek:
No, I can either just put it on the same system as the Cellar, or we could pony up to fix this Supermicro server I have. (I am fairly certain that it's the CPU that isn't working on it, but no funds to replace it to find out)
OK I have just done some routine maintenance on the database to see whether that clears things up. If you were getting an error during the last 10 minutes, that was me fixing it. If anyone gets database errors in the next day or so, let me know in the thread, thanks.
7:30 pm EST 4 members and 100 guests - navigation seems slow, but no database errors.
Oh, I thought you were in here looking for some scissors, lamplighter ... ;)
Isn't there a way, in the user CP, to delete attachments from old posts? I thought there was, but it looks like I can only view my old attachments.
The Cellar: We were a "social network" when Zuckerberg was six years old
Too funny! :lol:
Looks like we got hammered with a handful of spam recently.
They may have worked out how to beat the CAPTCHA.
CAPTCHA always makes me think of this:
Can one "ignore" threads? Click a button so they just don't show?
Yes, there are 2.
One is red and the other is yellow, in the top left corner of your screen. :rolleyes:
orly?
are you making ass-umptions? :rolleyes:
Why do the smilies move about? Every time I go look for a particular one, its never in the same place.
Smilies are a nomadic people.

It took me a while to figure out what LL was going on about until I realized he is using the short bus of computers.
Why DO the smilies move about? I don't know!!!
No really they do....whhhhhhyyyyyyyyy?????
Before I knew that's what was happening, I would go a little insane every time I had to hunt one down. It made looking for smilies really frustrating.
It's kind of fun, unless you're in a hurry, to go on smilie safari.
Sometimes I wish they were alphabetical (by whatever name they're called.)
We should have a contest to see who can memorize all the smilie names and type them from memory.

May I ask what is the legitimate use of "Anonymous" user name ?
Also, is it just for Dwellars, or do Guests have access to it too ?
I can see using "Anonymous" to hide very personal information,
but otherwise it seems quite cowardly to use it for political posts.
Maybe there are other times it is appropriate ?
Today, I noticed the No.of Members was 4 more than the No. of Dwellars being On-Line.
Is that the effect of logging on as "Anonymous", or just Profile Settings ?
If people are logged in as anonymous, it will show up as "anonymous" being on line, unless anon has their account set to hide that. It's just a username like lamplighter or monster. But people can choose to hide when they are online, so they will be named in the online member listing or have a green dot by their posts, even if they are online.
guidelines? You want more rules? If you think someone's being cowardly, call them out or ignore their posts.
OK, I just saw a post by anon in the wild west thread. Srsly? a 10 min video? How inflammatory can it be? It only takes a few seconds to call people morons. or morAns. I was bored by the time it started. i imagine they used anon because they were ashamed that was the best they could add to the conversation. Just ignore it and move on.

I know...I think anon was embarrassed that the video was so boring. What was the point of the video...robots talking about hand shaking?
Yeah, anyone who knows how can use the moranonymous log-in. Sometimes people just don't feel like themselves. :p:
While I haven't had occasion to use the anonymous account, I can envision a few other uses for it:
A Dwellar who hasn't been active in the community for awhile may want to test the water before taking the plunge again without drawing attention to themself.
A Dwellar may no longer have regular access to the internet and doesn't want others to figure that out through the lack of timely responses to posts directed at their registered username.
A Dwellar may be concerned that another individual will take a post personally, due to that person's circumstances, when it's intended for general information.
A Dwellar doesn't want their spouse, significant other, BFF ... etc. to know that they dissent in their opinion about something.
A Dwellar may feel that their post will be criticized based upon who's doing the posting rather than the content of the post, especially if that Dwellar has an antagonist in the forums.
A Dwellar may be posting while under the influence.
A former Dwellar who was banned; or, who requested their account be closed can post from a new IP address if the password hasn't since been changed; or, they have been given the current password respectively.
I took pictures with my phone of the river behind my place. I have NEVER seen it so high, and I've lived there for 5 years.
Anyway, how do I get them from my phone (Droid 2) to post on, say, the Cellar?
TIA!
edit: Let me put it this way, can I not email them to myself or something for later posting? I plugged my phone into the computer port but couldn't figure out how to get to the pictures????
I'm dumb at this stuff.
Email them to yourself. And upload them as attachments to the post.
Edit: Oh, you edited while I was answering. Yeah, you should be able to click some key when you are looking at the photo in your phone, and you will get the option to email the photo somewhere. I don't have an android, so I don't know the key you hit.
OK, I'm going to sound really dumb. To email to myself from my phone: do I start at the picture or do I start at the email?
I think I figured it out. Stay tuned.
Thanks glatt.
You can probably also go to "My computer" on your PC when you have it connected to your computer by the cable, and it ought to show up as a removable drive. Again, I don't know the Android at all, but you should be able to poke around in the folders of the removable drive and find the photos. I don't know what your data plan is, but you might be using up a lot of your data allowance for the month by e-mailing a bunch of pictures to yourself. ymmv and all that.
Yeah, I need to read up on it. I haven't had the phone very long.
Thanks for the help. Pics posted, though they suck. It was dusk, though.
When does one typically get the email for a new moniker?
Rephrase the question plz
I have a new name. It says to wait for an email before I can post under the new name. I just wondered if that was an automatic process or if there was a lapse. No big deal either way, I'm in no hurry, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something on my end. I kinda dum. :blush:
It should happen right away but if there is a glitch, let me know the new one in PMs and I will set it up.
She wants her new sock puppet, bro. Can u step it up plz? ppl have trollin to do
No, not trolling. I'm tossing around changing my name. But it feels weird. Shawnee is quite prolific, but what could infinite monkey turn up?
And thanks for the help, UT. :)
Yep, Shawnee was a good egg, but her time is done.
Those who know, know she is me. Those who don't, I don't care to see.
Smartasses come and smartasses go
But Shawnee girl, she had to know
That one day she would be laughed at
So bye from her. Now take my hat.
You're one of my idols. :)
Shawnee123 has been recruited into the IMF [COLOR="SlateGray"](Infinite Monkey Force)[/COLOR].
"Good morning Ms. 123. As you know, the Word Association thread continues to upset the balance of Dwellars' post counts in The Cellar. Your mission Shawnee, should you decide to accept it, is to be the last person to kill that thread while operating under the username
infinite monkey. As always, should you or any of your I.M. Force be caught or killed, the Moderators will disavow any any knowledge of your actions. Please berate this post in the usual manner. Good luck, Shawnee."
(bows head in reverence)
I will do it for the common good.
I wouldn't rate your post a "B." It's definitely an "A" level post. So, I'm not B-rating, I'm A-rating. ;)
OMG! Shawnee's gone ape!
:p:
If the Cellar had a nickel for every time it heard that!
IM plans to be less an attention homo sapien.
And you can call me infy, finny, nite, mon ;) monk, key, m'key, finite, nitenite, nk, on, ey, inf, Femininity Keno (anagram)
I'mm'a call you Buddy.
You can call me Al.
Yep, Shawnee was a good egg, but her time is done.
3 minute or 7 minute?
I noticed IM was almost as funnyness as shawnee and almost an infinite post stacker.
:)
I can't seem to shake that. I'd go back to Shawnee if my post count wasn't attached like a freaking neon light to every post. It's embarrassing.
And, you know what? My friends would tell you that IRL I don't talk all that much. One of my patrons at the bar told my ex "You know what I like about her? She doesn't say anything unless she has something to say." I mean, I talk...and when I'm drinking beers with friends we can really really talk, but I'm not a chatterbox. Sometimes I'll go hours without saying a word.
But HERE? Jebus, what is wrong with me?
And, hard-boiled.
eta: Oh, monster...remember that smiley grinny guy who was so happy to see me at the Z's? He's the one who said that. ;)

Hi, have you met me? ;)
I know you were being tongue in cheek for that very reason. Hey,that's not my cheek!
So, when did the anonymous account become just for hanging out and surfing the Cellar? Time to change the password? :eyebrow:
Somebody probably just forgot they were logged in as that?
Maybe, I've just seen it used, for fairly large increments of time, with no posting attached. Just looking around. I guess it's not really important (sorry) but it seems to tie it up if someone wanted to use it.
Maybe my point is that if someone just doesn't want people to know they're here they can change to IMBISIBLE mode, like I'm in. :) Maybe they didn't know about that option.
Yeah, just sittin' there like a dum bass. :lol:
Yeah, well, they're gone now.
1. Can the Administrator and Moderators see the IP addresses of "anonymous" account users? Does an automatic log exist in case the account is abused?
2. Administrators can usually see the IP addresses of Guests. Is that included in moderators' privileges here?
Ummm 13 minutes isn't a hell of a long time. Maybe they'd gone in to post something and then needed to go look at another thread to google a detail before posting it.
It was a joke. Look more carefully at my screen shot.
I was talking about IM's pic.
lol thank fuck. Thought I was missing something dead obvious (again ;p)
Yeah, well, they're gone now.
hehehe
It will still be funny tomorrow.
OK. I was poking around the "who's online" link, because I get a kick out of what guests are looking at. Apparently somebody somewhere is linking to
an attachment in that square melon IOTD thread a while ago, and a lot of people are looking at it. The erect nipple thread is getting more traffic again.
And then as I scrolled down, I saw this! :eek:
heh
to relieve your uncomfortable symptoms, take two bromides and call me in the morning. I suggest these two:
"Power corrupts" and "Ignorance is bliss"
"Power corrupts" and "Ignorance is bliss"
Both are very good points. I'll be mindful. Thanks for the reminder.
Do we need both a "technology" (Computing, programming, science, electronics, telecommunications, etc.); AND an "internet" (Web sites, web development, email, chat, bandwidth, the net and society) forum?
Maybe there was a clear distinction way back in early cellar days, but now? When your computer is your tv, and your phone is your --everything.
My suggestion would be to consolidate.
I agree, the net forum doesn't get much traffic these days either
any objections
None from here. I never know whether to put things in internet or entertainment, since most of my 'internet' stuff is actually online ent.
Just make a new one called Teh Interwebz. We will find all we need right there at our fingertips.
Why do we need home base and nothingland? The same types of threads go there. And we should combine sports and relationships, because sports really is about forging relationships. And music should go with quality images, it's all art.
Well would you just look at that? IM is being a smahtass. ;)
no objections here. The guys are silent though. I wonder if they feel losing technology to teh interwebz is an assault on their manhood, like losing their man cave to a guest bedroom....? :p:
Technology is more than the internet. Even more than computers.
Some other recent tech topics we've covered:
Robot Hummingbirds
Rocket Packs
Gravity Control by Laser
The end of Kodachrome
more...
I don't mind if you delete Internet, but leave Technology alone, please.
interwebs could go in technology, though? Or is that like a sewing machine table in the corner of the cave?
not saying the two are exactly equivalent, just that they are related and could be logically consolidated at this point. Just a thought I had.
I love your name. It looks good on you. :)
So I'm thinking SG as a nickname might go out of fashion, and S is just too short,
What are your thoughts on Sun? You are very sunshiney. ;)
What about Undae? Undies to friends.....
Can we upgrade the troll removal process to:
1. EVERYONE sends troll a friendship request.
2. Flying Fickle Finger Of Fate award gets posted to troll's final thread.
3. Troll is banned.

Is it possible to (temporarily) prevent a user from starting new threads? For their own good, in order to prevent them becoming intolerably irritating to everybody except the morbidly charitable?
And perhaps the mods might consider moving just a couple of threads to more appropriate forums (like relationships and creative thingummajiggy), as a demonstration? I know this is not generally the done thing, but maybe in this case it might be for the greater good?
or.... on the other extreme, didn't Jim and Syc used to have their own forums/forae? Perhaps that's the answer :lol:
She is a Sundae Woman now! She is so womanly she doesn't need the "woman" to be a part of her name. I for one will from now on refer to her as "Sister" or "Sis."
For Pete's sake, last night's posts prove troll for those still doubting. totally different character/grammar structure etc. It was fun for a while, but lasted too long.
Still not sure it wasn't a sock puppet, designed to bring us all together after the "do you hate IM and monster?" debacle.
If it was all real: well damn!
If not, it was a good laugh for a while.
disclaimer: I haven't read all last night's posts.
Goodbye pam, we hardly knew ye.
Damn, I thought it would take a couple of days for people to notice!
I just figured I'm 40 next year, I can no longer play the ingenue, let alone masquerade as a girl.
I expect I'll still be called SG, in the same way as people sometimes still call JimHelm LJ.
Or is that just me?
I'm sure it'll fall naturally into an abbreviation at some point and I'm not really fussed what it is.
I am woman! Hear me mew!
Is there a way to make a user un-ignorable (i.e. they can't be put on ignore) without making them a moderator?
I'm considering recruiting, via the moderator election procedure (i.e. nominations followed by an election), a full time character assassin for the Politics forum. There may even be positions for 3 people to provide 'round the clock coverage. They would operate by proxy to engage perpetrators of disruptive personal attacks so that users who prefer to dialogue in an educated language don't have to waste valuable time on that distraction.
While nominations would be overt, the election would have secret ballots and secret results overseen by the Administrator. Those elected would operate under sockpuppet names. They could accept "zingers" by PMs to build up their repertoire and block users who send PMs of any other nature. They would not otherwise correspond with other users under their operative names.
While the community can't eliminate all untoward behavior [the price of freedom here], it may be able to channel that behavior while having a heck of a lot of fun in the process of doing so.
Is there a way to make a user un-ignorable (i.e. they can't be put on ignore) without making them a moderator?
not really no
Then my secret squirrels will have to regularly change their usernames so the perps can't ignore them. What's the per capita limit on sockpuppets?
I'm considering recruiting, via the moderator election procedure (i.e. nominations followed by an election), a full time character assassin for the Politics forum.
Why would that forum need any more?
That's like asking why insurgents should be quelled by others with insurgent capabilities recruited to be counterinsurgents. Answer; because, I'm too indifferent to do the counterinsurgency myself. Wanna become a secret squirrel? With your moderator's experience, there's a place for you in the new Politics Forum order.
No thank you, I think there quite enough assassins there.

Why am I not seeing some of the posted photos? Just in last few days. Been haveing problems with stand-by mode. I have uninstalled a few thing trying to fix that, but nothing to do w/photos. I did take all things Adobe, but photoshop.
I received several database error messages today on the Cellar. Never seen one before. I hope that's not a bad omen.
You're lucky, I have been getting them off and on for a few weeks now.
Is there a way to set size parameters on IMG tags?

So I signed up under anon because it doesn't matter who I am that is changing email.
Will I get those capabilities back when I get the confirmation? Will I get a confirmation? Are they automatic or do I need to wait for the conformation fairy?
I don't know but I'm guessing I just confirmed you
I cannot send or view or receive PMs. Should I get an email at my new email?
Thanks for your help UT.
Never mind UT. Got it. It went to quarantine or whatever. All is good.
Thanks so much.
Hiya, I'm new. Is there a reason why I can't do things like: Access "Options" under the user CP (I like to turn off signatures and adjust the posts per page), send PMs (which I would have done instead of posting here if I could), or even view profiles (which is understandable because some boards don't allow members to view them)?
Huh. And I guess none of my posts will show up until a mod approves them either.
Hey, whatever you got to do to safeguard against spammers and the like...isn't that hard work for the mods, though? Hah.

http://forums.gametrailers.com/thread/hottest-woman-thread-6-0/997298?page=31
And because that is a hugely popular thread on a hugely popular forum, bandwidth for cellar.org has doubled in the last four days and is generally slowing down the system.
NEVER HOTLINK
It's always something isn't it? Now I have to decide what to do about the situation. Make the attachment a dick pic?
I've just fuggin made the pic unavailable. Even to us. That'll do.
I'm not too smart on this stuff. Is using Photobucket okay? What is the best way to attach photos? - I see the address in the 'properties' of some come up as Cellar attachments - mine don't.
I would use imgur.com, I think they have better rules about this sort of thing.
...or are you saying we shouldn't link pictures from here to elsewhere?
Sorry, I promise I'm not really stupid!
OK so I see the image I want, drag and drop to my desktop, attach it to my post and then delete it from my desktop.
That correct?
You can do an attachment, which is good, because then the picture is hosted by the Cellar. And you can also put it on an image hosting site where you have an account, like photobucket or flickr, etc., and just follow the policies that they have for linking.
edit: And I got distracted while typing this so I see it's been answered.
Save picture to desktop. (right click on pic and save to...)
REsize if necessary using MS Pic Manager (compress for web pages)
Use Manage Attachments while in Advanced (not available in quick reply)
Browse for file, find your desktop, attach photo.
Close window.
Submit reply.
It doesn't care if you leave it on your computer or not.
No, don't do it that way. It doesn't work as of about 20 minutes ago:

lol - I was editing my last post for evahhhh trying to figure out why the image wasn't visible.. thanks UT.
I figured it was something like that. :)
Well something ain't fixed
Photo contests have a shit load of spam...
Where? If you flag it, I'll delete it.
I've just fuggin made the pic unavailable. Even to us. That'll do.

Posting a picture without hotlinking:
If you don't want to download & upload the picture, use the "upload from url" feature. Highly recommended.
[LIST=1]
[*]Find the picture somewhere on the internet
[*]Copy the url (differs for each browser. For firefox, right-click on the image and choose Copy Image Location)
[*]In the cellar, click Manage Attachments below the message panel.
[*]Paste the url in the area noted Upload a File from a URL.
[*]Upload.
[/LIST]
No muss. No fuss.
Thanks.:thumb:That sounds a lot easier than downloading, resizing and attaching.
wait a sec Pete - I thought that WAS hotlinking
Pete's step 3 makes it not hotlinking.
How is that different than clicking on the insert image icon and pasting the url there?
Now I'm back to being confused.
The manage attachments process uploads the image from whereever you found it to the cellar.
Thanks Mr Z. I promise not to hotliink any more. mostly ;)
Is this a normal number of people to be viewing the quality images thread? WOW!

Hi Undertoad, when you get a chance, can you move today's IOTD images over to be hosted by the Cellar? I've got them linked via Flickr, and don't want to make them mad.
I know this question has been asked and answered before, but does the froth count as the level of the tip mug?
If so, can we just get rid of the froth to save confusion?
Froth counts half. If the mug is 100% full at the end of the month, I will switch it to iced tea.
So we're about 2/3 there? Another $40 or so is that right?
now more like 25% left, hit F5
Why does the text of the datestamp look different from the text of the timestamp in the column of Last Post under the screen New Posts?
that's kind of control freaky
I, like many of the other shaved apes here, am a pattern seeking animal. This difference disrupted the pattern and caught my attention. I'm not seeking to control it, I am just curious about it.
The most users ever online here at the Cellar was 1,719, on Sept 30, 2007, @ 10:10 in the am.
Was this a special event, or just chance?
Don't know the answer, but know it's been asked.
I'm too lazy to look for the answer for you.
Slacker.
IIRC, the biggest hit the Cellar ever took was the Foam on the Air Force Base IOTD. I think Toad eventually had to take those images down for good because they were killing us so much. I think that's where all the visitors came from.
It was special, I can't even remember what it was that time. (the foam happened earlier)
Once in a while The Cellar dangles something shiny, and they all come over and consume it at once, until the creaking old server can't manage, interrupting our day.
They never stay or even offer a single thanks.

Is there a smart guy way to post a word table with formatting? I ended up doing a screen shot, cleaning it up in paint, and posting it as a jpeg.

Thanks V. I'll try that next time.
I went in to my profile / Contacts and Friends and tried to add myself to my friends list (I've only got two, and one doesn't exist anymore).
It told me "You can't be friends with yourself."
That just doesn't seem right, does it?
not in the biblical sense.....
And what's the difference between a private message and a visitor message? I've never received a visitor message.
I got one once from sky saying she liked my profile pic. You don't get a notification though, so I didn't even notice it till I went to change something on my profile.
eta: maybe you do get a notification but I couldn't figure out what it was for? lol
Sshhhh...don't tell anyone!
The problem with visitor messages is that you have to go your profile page ever so often to even see one.
I'd forgotten about visitor messages. It's been a while.

On the
Board FAQ page, under each of the 3 main information categories, the first sub-topic link goes to the Search FAQ function at the top of each page instead of the related information paragraph. This seems to throw all the sub-topic links off from their related information paragraphs; so, the user has to scroll down to them instead of having them just appear in the window. In order for anyone to link to a particular sub-topic paragraph and have the appropriate information appear without having to scroll down to it, one has to use the URL of the sub-topic link below it (excepting the last sub-topic) as I did [post=777161]here[/post].
Is this unavoidable with vBulletin? If it can changed, is it a simple matter? Would a sub-topic link to the search function added to the top of each sub-topics list realign things properly? If a redundant link at the top of each category isn't aesthetically appealing, could it be made nearly invisible by coloring it as users sometimes do with text in posts. Just curious, if this has been asked before I've forgotten the reply.
That is a little control-freaky, but I don't believe it's been asked.
Which browser are you using, and which version?
It's just something I came across when I made the cited post today and it struck me as curious ... I'm using IE 8.0.6001.18702 with Windows XP-SP3.
I am thinking this works by design.

I'm not experiencing this behavior. For me, the link "here" takes me to the word association thread, following that link I get to the participating paragraphs, not the editing paragraphs.
Also, for your first link, "Board FAQ", each of the links takes me to the expected corresponding paragraph.
This should be
Announcements
This should be
Registration
This should be
My Public Profile (a top link, not leading to Search FAQ, but to the expected paragraph)
Firefox 8.0, XP SP3
When I click on the Edit icon reply in my Word Association post, I still get the Editing paragraphs coming up centered in my open window (using the Participating paragraphs URL) even though I clear my cache every time I log off the internet. Your Announcements link shows that entire short topic in the bottom half of my open window along with the tail end of the preceding topic in the top half. Your Registration link shows none of that topic in my open window, just the end of the preceding long topic; so, I have to scroll down to Registration. Your My Public Profile link shows just the header and Search box in my open window and again I have to scroll down to the topic paragraph. Nothing's changed for me. Weird Science huh?
Thanks for running the Firefox 8 comparison. It would also be interesting to see whether or not other IE 8 users get my results; or, if it's just a gremlin in my particular setup.
You're welcome.
I launched IE8 (same computer) and ran the same tests. I got very erratic results, including lots of stuff like you described. Why don't you download Firefox and see what you get? Personally I like Firefox a LOT more than I like Internet Explorer, this is a textbook case study of why I prefer it.

Handy occasionally.
The Cellar becomes.... rather unresponsive for about 10 minutes every night while it backs itself up.
I usually encounter that at 4am my time. Almost every night. And even then, it doesn't show up as being "down". It just sorta lags for a few minutes.
Maybe UT can get the Cellar to make that sound that trucks make when they're backing up. :D

I still have to go to advanced search for that. I can display the results as posts or threads from the drop down search box, but I can't narrow the search to being just a thread title unless I go to advanced search.
Maybe that is what I was thinking. It seemed different to me but I don't use search that much.

Has a virtual exorcism ever been performed in the Cellar? I'm asking just in case we have to have one for JBKlyde. I'm wondering if strange sounds will be coming from our speakers, if printers will be spitting ink, and if monitors will spin 360 degrees around. Will our computers levitate? Where does one get virtual holy water? Do moderators risk becoming possessed? So many questions; yet, so few answers. About the only thing I'm reasonably certain of is that it would have to be done in a NSFW thread. Thanks in advance.
I'm fully qualified. Be just and fear not.

Is UncaDollas really banned or is that just his user title?
..if not...should he be? Is he a real poster posting exclusively youtube videos in an effort to contribute, or...?
This morning, when I came to the Cellar, there were 20 unread threads where he was the last poster, and his posts were all videos. I was under the impression from previous posts by him that he posts here mainly to drive traffic to his YouTube site. At that moment, I found him to be intolerably annoying. So I banned him.
I might not make the same decision now. And if the other mods disagree with me, I would be open to them unbanning him.
Thats what I figured happened. Cheers.
I logged in in the wee hours of the morning and saw the same thing. He has always just posted videos, usually unrelated. Someone has mentioned it to him before. Stick to your guns, it was the right move. If he had ever posted anything else...anything. Ffs, is this really debateable?
From December last year:
No, I'm not making any money on my videos. I dont believe I will ever make money with my videos, its just a hobby. I wouldn't sell advertising on youtube because I don't think some one would sit through an ad to watch them. I have posted several times over the last 3 years and there are many of them that not video posts. I apologize that I posted this particular video 3 times. They seemed like appropriate threads for the video. I found this video to be funny and thought I'd share it, maybe a little too over zealously. I enjoy message boards generally and I like this one specifically. I enjoy the other posters senses of humor and frequently read their posts. One of the reasons I may have gotten a little crazy with the video posts is that the Cellar has a particular way to successfully post a video that I actually learned recently and probably was trying to show off.
As far as it not being funny, I understand my humor isn't the same as every one else. If I bother to explain why I think it is funny, it loses all humor anyway, so I wont bother. Even though some of you want me banned at this point, I do appreciate that you looked at my posts and that some of you watched the video. Thank you.

Jeeze, doing some damage control on my rep here, but you guys are right, I deserve it. I have posted many times over the past few years and I hope occasionally they were amusing. I actually read other peoples more than I post myself. If you guys get me banned, I wont be able to read all your witty remarks and I'll never be funny.
Give me one more chance, I'll take it easy on the video posts for awhile.
http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=780250&postcount=13
I think he just likes posting funny or interesting vids. That's his bag.
Admittedly I did find this morning's flurry quite annoying, but they were all chosen for specific threads, they weren't the same vid spamming the board.
Personally I am not in favour of him being banned. he isn;t causing anyone any harm. At worst some of his vids miss the mark and are just weird instead of funny. Anyone here long enough to find them intolerably irritating has also been here long enough to know not to play an UncaDollas video.
Just my tuppennorth. Though, have to say this morning I was mildly annoyed and the thought "ffs, ban this twat already" did float briefly through my mind. But it ain't malicious and it ain't usually attention whoring. There are one or two other people who contribute in similar but less irritating ways (such as the strange and wonderful images John posts). At least he isn't private messaging people, starting feuds and generally shitting all over the carpet.
He can still read and learn from our incredible wit, even from Banland. ;)
In my opinion, he did 'damage control' for his product, which is videos from his site. Yes, he stopped posting vids for a while, but it isn't like he was conversing in other ways during that time. He obviously can communicate, judging from the quoted text.
It's like "don't ban me, I won't post about the Incredible Lemony Mop Bucket I'm trying to hock. For a while, anyway."
The banhammer was the right decision.
I support the decision. The only other alternative would be to allow him to post without adding videos or images - if thats possible.
its not even the implied advertising that bothers me... its that the videos arent a RESPONSE to the threads, its just whatever video is vaguely related to something vaguely alluded to in the thread. its contentless.
Anyone here long enough to find them intolerably irritating has also been here long enough to know not to play an UncaDollas video.
I think that misses the point a little. If the only thing he has to say, everyone who's part of the community knows better than to bother with...

These things. It's irritating, it doesn't add to the conversation, and in some cases it detracts from it and even verges on harmful because he doesn't take the time to see how relevant the video is to the topic, or to get to know the community well enough to avoid crapping in the more serious and personal threads.
And what infi said. Last time we called him on it, he said he'd lay off. Then how many in one go? Any verbiage? This is not a video-based site. you might as well say, well we all know not to click on the ads .....but we're all happy that they're not there at all......
I'm ambivalent about banning, but for the first time evah I used the ignore feature.
Took me ages to find it, too. :p:
Good point Monster, hadn't really thought about it like that.
Whilst we're at it, can we please ban the fuck out of JBKlyde? He's gone way too far, I don't want him anywhere near this place.
It's going to happen, give the mods a minute.
I don't agree that JBKlyde should be banned.
Seriously? Have you see what he said about going postal and blowing away a gay pride march?
I just read the Sexual Imorality thread.
I think his behaviour there is unacceptable hate speech.
But, I think he is obviously mentally ill, and may benefit from the cellar as a stabilising influence.
Perhaps temporary banning might be considered.
hehe .. now if he's said he was going to go to a gay parade and blow them all, that would be different.
Seriously? Have you see what he said about going postal and blowing away a gay pride march?
Yes.
I stand by my position. What rule has he broken?
I strongly oppose the silencing of voices because I disagree with them. And if you go back and re-read his comments, there's an important "if" that gets forgotten about is postal-ness. Even Ted Nugent who is at least as nutz as JBKlyde didn't have his remarks taken seriously. I think a far stricter standard of literal validity is being applied to this remark than to countless other remarks that are just as outrageous.
It is a bad idea to surround oneself with only pleasant, agreeable opinions. He hasn't broken any of our rules in my opinion and therefore does not deserve to be banned.
I think it has to be taken in the context of several weeks of rising hostility and nasty comments to and about Ibs regarding sexual orientation.
Maybe Zen's right and a temp ban is appropriate I don;t know. But JBKlyde has spent the last couple of weeks sniping and making anti-gay comments and generally going out of his way to insult and hurt another board member on the grounds of sexuality and gender identity.
Had this been an isolated incident I'd be a little less annoyed.
We have many set pieces of serious conflict. Even mercy earned place in Ibram's signature for the vitriol of his comments made about the same subject, only more personal. There was no call for a ban then, why?
And it takes two to fight. I've been reading and I haven't seen the focused aggression you describe. Even so, that's not grounds for banning. It's a textbook example for ignoring. And it has also been a textbook example of a flamefest. I don't see any offense justifying a ban. If it's /airquote just /airquote "JFC, you are the most offensive person I've ever met." there are more appropriate responses than banning.
Actually there were calls for a ban with Merc. And Merc took a break and apologised. And understood why what he'd said was offensive.
[eta] as I recall that incident led to Ibram staying away from the Cellar for quite a long time. Even with the other person on ignore, knowing that he is there making nasty homophobic comments is likely to make this place feel a lot less welcoming and safe for those who are already dealing with some quite complex stuff.
That said, yes, I understand that much of this may be a manifestation of his mental illness and as such warrants a more understanding attitude. But, the ramifications of that understanding could well be that other members here feel les welcome and less inclined to be here.
And understood why what he'd said was offensive.
Even if i still do have my problems with merc, so much THIS. without understanding what's so unbelievably poisonous about what he said, there can certainly be no constructive progression.
Even if to Dana this is about his attacks on me and my identity, shit, i couldn't care less about him telling me i'm gonna burn in hell. It's threats of literal violence and hate crimes where I draw the ban-line in this case.
The thing is though it isn't just you Ibs. There are several people on this board whose particular gender identity or sexual orientation make such issues a matter of personal concern. These people are our friends and I do not think they should be subjected to that kind of shit here/ Not here/ The world is a cold place at times, but this is the Cellar.
I'd feel much the same way if someone were to make comments about how people with disabilities or mental illness should be culled for the health of the nation. is it a viable threat? No. Is it intolerably offensive to anybody with a disability, mental health condition, or relative with either? Yes.
I dunno - I'm with V that just subjecting people to "that kind of shit" isn't in-and-of-itself bannable. Again, it's the threat of violence where I draw the line.
"That kind of shit" by which I mean hate-speech against groups of people on the grounds of race, gender or sexual orientation.
Someone makes a dodgy joke about gay cowboys, well the world is harsh, get a helmet. Someone makes comments advocating violence against gays/queers/niggers/towelheads/Jews/etc that is unacceptable and in my view likely to make the Cellar feel like an unwelcoming place.
My point is that it is not to do with how real the threat is. Hate speech isn't defined by how likely the speaker is to carry out his voiced threats. Couching it in hypothetical terms (if I were to go postal I'd...) and calling it a joke does not stop it being hate speech. It's only a 'joke' because of the response it gets. On another forum with different response who knows where that would go.
Hate speech has no place. No fucking place whatsoever on the Cellar.
As I say, maybe Zen's right and a temporay ban is in order. Maybe JBKlyde will respond to that by not voicing such things in here again. I don't know. I just know that either he, or the hate speech has to go.
Let Unca back.
He behaved in an intolerably irritating manner but he was harmless and at least we know he reads threads. And after all it was one morning. He went on a bit of a spree.
Temp ban JBK. He stepped over the line. I disagree with everything he posts but that's not why I think he needs temp banning. If he comes back and espouses hatred again, ban him. I for one won't miss him.
Being offensive is not ban-worthy.
Here in Washington we have a law, recently upheld, to my dismay, that permits pharmacists to refuse to dispense legal medicine to someone with a legal prescription based on a moral objection. I imagine the pharmacists would say they were offended by, perhaps, the behavior or attitudes of, you know, some people. Here's why I have a problem with that AIRQUOTE standard AIRQUOTE.
One, it's utterly subjective. Even being intolerably annoying is subjective, but it is a more restrictive standard than "offensive". Do we want all offensive speech silenced? Not just ignored. Not fought against. Not refuted. Not argued into self-evident submission. Just forbidden, but just around here. I say no.
Two, that kind of rule cuts both ways, and it's *sharp*. Apparently, JBK finds *your* position offensive. When the shoe's on the other foot, there is no call for you to be kicked out. Why isn't there a call for you to be banned by the same standard "offensiveness" Is that the right response? I say no.
You said in another thread that one mitigating fact about mercy's comments was his contrition; that he "learned" about/from the offensiveness of his remarks. If teaching dwellars to be better people is the laudable, if Sisyphean goal, then banning JBK doesn't further your efforts toward that goal.

Rivers of hateful speech have flowed through the cellar, rivers whose headwaters are still here. I think selective banning is just a different shade of the same stupid prejudice being shown by JBK's homophobic remarks. And we absolutely *DO* make judgments about the ... importance of all kinds of remarks including hateful ones. As a student of language you know well the value of tone and context in all kinds of communication. Maybe I have been inattentive to this "kill kill kill" comments, but a quick search of the cellar returns over 45 thousand instances of "kill". That is many metric fucktons of evidence for banning. Really?
I think you and I may have a slightly different attitude to the matter of 'free speech' and 'hate speech'.
If someone on this board said: I dunno, sometimes I feel like going out and lynching a nigger - I would want that person banned. Temporarily or permanently. I do not believe anybody has the 'right' to publish something like that on a public forum. What they say to each other in the privacy of their own homes is their own business, but this is a privately owned, publicly accessible forum where words are left permanently on show.
I do, however, take your point about the potential for learning. Which is why I agree that a temporary ban might be fairer.
And we absolutely *DO* make judgments about the ... importance of all kinds of remarks including hateful ones. As a student of language you know well the value of tone and context in all kinds of communication.
Generally speaking there is a fairly fundamental difference in approach between America and Europe when it comes to laws on hate speech. Under American legal codes it is defined in terms of its offensiveness and capacity to cause distress to victims. This places internet communication in particular in less danger of regulation than other media (radio and television). The 'victim' must first go through several steps to access the material, therefore they have effectively sought it out and been offended by it. It hasnt intruded unsought into their life as something floating actross the radio might.
In Europe the baseline for hate speech laws is the impact they have on society more generally that underlies what is considered unacceptable.
Black’s Law Dictionary defines hate speech
as “speech that carries no meaning other than the expression of
hatred for some group, such as a particular race, especially in
circumstances where the communication is likely to provoke
violence.” Other sources characterize hate speech as “a form of
expression offensive to women, ethnic and religious groups, and
other discrete minorities.” In many circumstances, hate speech
communicates the message “that distinctions of race [or origin] are
ones of merit, dignity, status, and personhood.” It also injures
career prospects, social mobility, and may even cause mental illness
and psychosomatic disease.
These definitions and descriptions, developed by United States authors, have their focus on victims’ sufferings and reactions and are only partly applicable to Internet speech. First, “communications over the Internet do not appear on computer screens without the user taking a series of affirmative steps,” and in most cases, it is possible to avoid undesirable messages; second, as a rule, neither the speaker nor the addressee is accessible for violence, and in many cases is anonymous or unknown.
According to the Additional Protocol to the [European] Convention on Cybercrime, “‘racist and xenophobic material’ means any representation of thought or theories, which advocates, promotes or incites hatred, discrimination or violence against any individual or group of individuals based on race, color, descent or national or ethnic origin.” Obviously, the focus of this definition is not on a particular victim but on the dissemination of racist attitudes in the society.

Now, in this case I have two immediate and instinctive responses to JBKlyde: a) that's unacceptable, you've hurt a friend, and b) that's unacceptable, that breaches my understanding of what is and is not appropriate / legal in messageboard communication and represents a wider social danger by the dissemination of hate speech.
If you silence them, the FBI/DHS internet filters can't ferret them out before they actually act.
I don't particularly give a damn one way or the other, but...
If Unca gets banned for being Unca, I think a lot of us have to be banned, because some of us have done worse than Unca or JB.
And I said "us", cuz I personally have done worse more than a few times. And some of us have been FAR FAR FAR worse than either JB or Unca, for a much longer span of time.
That said, I'm sure they're is a population of Dwellars who would like to see me go, too.
:2cents:
ETA: I've missed JB's display of 'hate speech'. If someone could/would point me to that, so I could opine for myself, I'd appreciate it. PM if you'd rather.
Also, 'Free Speech' means everybody, even the people you/we disagree with.
Now...if he's hating on fat guys w/ponytails...we're gonna have prollums.
It's threats of literal violence and hate crimes where I draw the ban-line in this case.
Agreed.
Why isn't there a call for you [Ibs]to be banned
No threat of violence, nor 'hate speech'
Perhaps temporary banning might be considered.
Agreed, at a minimum, at least.

I might have missed some others, so help me out please. If it is just this point, then I contend that JBK's statement falls very far short of a threat of literal violence OR a hate crime.
for the second point, I was responding to the clamor over the "offensiveness" of JBK's remarks and trying to illustrate the weakness, difficulty and danger of such a standard as justification for banning. "You offend me, you must be banned."--we don't want to go there.
snip--
ETA: I've missed JB's display of 'hate speech'. If someone could/would point me to that, so I could opine for myself, I'd appreciate it. PM if you'd rather.
You should look here. If there are others, others will have to point them out to both of us. Of course, JBK has plenty of other "out there" shit, but I haven't seen any that approach "hate speech", no moreso than the regular shitstorm that sometimes comes through.

As far as I am aware that was the first time it escalated from mere offensive bigotry to hate speech. Which is why this is the first time I have advocated a ban.
"QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SITE" Why the ƒuck hasn't JBKlyde been banned as shit, and erased from the history books? FUCK THIS GUY.

Close enough for me. And I stand by my opinion that at least a temporary ban is in order.
I've felt sorry for him, and tried to be understanding and all that, but there is a limit.
Letting someone say the things he has said, with no consequences... that isn't kind. Unacceptable things should not be accepted.

THAT is where this all came from?
Ima be over here in the corner.
With my mouth shut.
Cuz, if I say
anything that's in my mind right now, yall just might be at my house in the morning. And it has nothing to do with mowing anyone down, gay or otherwise.
Carry on.
I would vote on it.
My vote would be to ban him.
I would vote we let the mods we voted for make these kinds of decisions, butthurts aside.
Good idea. Thats what we pay them for-right? ;)
No one cares about my opinion so here goes >
"keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
that being said I won't cry if JBK is banned...
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SITE:
How do we interpret rule number one? Would a person in "real life" be allowed to call up a talk radio program and announce that they plan to commit acts of mass violence as a religiously-motivated hate crime? Do I really have to ask this question?
There are only three RULES of the Cellar.
[LIST=1]
[*]Do not try to break the law using the Cellar.
[/LIST]
...
omg you're all really being pathetic. Peasants with pitchforks.
I could name 3 or 4 assholes I'd like to see banned RF Yesterday but I'm not pounding my desk demanding it.
Get over yourselves. Let the mods do their jobs.
I know I come off as a big JBK sympathizer...but it's this: he HAS tried to contribute. He admits to schizophrenia. He admits to being out of it as far as social convention.
Ban or not? I don't know. He's at least given us more than a bunch of videos with no commentary (oh, but if we go back a few hundred posts OH LOOK he said something HERE) and he hasn't smoothed everything over with "I LOVE to read you clever witty people please please please don't ban me" (and this is PROOF he reads us, really) but he has written poems and shown us his artwork and yes, pissed people off.
Meh. Mountains out of molehills and having to be 'right'. JFC.
And frankly, Ibs is going to need a much thicker skin in the coming years, don't you think? He's not going to be able to 'ban' everyone he's going to run into who says stupid shit.
So many of us espouse 'teaching' and 'learning' and 'understanding' but it seems to only extend to what is PC at the moment.
JBK, apologize for your one dumbass comment. Learn from it.
Can we move on now? Or are we storming the moat?
He isn't going to learn from it, he seems to have made that abundantly clear. primarily, because he doesn't actually understand what it was about that comment that stepped over the line.
I commented earlier that this came after a string of anti-queer comments. Setting aside the question of what is or isn't hate speech, or of what constitutes censorship, I find nasty homophobic comments intolerably irritating.
It's funny though. Because so often you and I are on different sides of this argument, Infi.
On those occasions when I am the one saying, let's not ban this person they haven't done anything so very wrong, and they seem to have genuine mental health issues, I am accused of being a bleeding heart, self-appointed newbie defender. Yet here we are swapping things arounfd, and now I am a pitchfork-waving peasant who's making a mountain out of a molehill because I advocated a ban.
I don't know quite what you mean by 'what is PC at the moment' but I've always had a fairly consistent position on hatespeech and bigotry.
This wasn't a single stupid comment. It was the culmination of a series of increasingly bigoted comments. Can't recall who said it now, but I agree that this is a time where 'true colours' have been shown. The views that lie behind this latest (and over the line) comment have clearly been there all along.
From what JBK has posted since, he has no real understanding of why this might be a problem.
I no longer advocate a total ban. I think a lot of the points made by you and others, particularly with regard to fairness hold true. Likewise the fact that JBK has been very open about his mental health and this may well be a factor in his interactions.
But I do slightly resent the way objections to this poster have been characterised. It seems to me, if I find myself defending someone, it is because I am weak-willed and feel somehow compelled to place myself in the defender role and take some imagined moral highground....yet if I am the one advocating a ban, it is because I am weak-willed and feel somehow compelled to take the PC road and take some imagined moral high-ground.
What actually may be closer to the truth is that sometimes what someone does seems intolerably irritating to you, but not to me. And other times what someone does is intolerably irritating to me, but not to you.
[eta] Didn't mean that quite as snarky as it reads btw. Yo still mah homegurl.:p
Not sure if I meant to come off as PC [maybe not directed at me} I didn't want to come off as insensitive to others feelings and maybe I should have posted I am apathetic.
JBK is like watching a train wreck he is mildly interesting in an analytical way. He is not entertaining me but sometimes you just can't look away. Some people say all kinds of stuff online for "effect" that they would not dare say in public. >shrugs<

I find your citing of this rule to be irrelevant.
No law was broken. No attempt at breaking any law was made. The cellar wasn't used for either of these, so invoking this rule doesn't apply.

If you think about all the Presidents or presidential wanna bees, they probably wish that were true! ;)
I havent seen the post in question , but i believe Terroristick threatening IS against the law , and Generally bad form
It wasn't strictly speaking a 'threat'.
He didn't say: 'I'm going to blow away a gay pride parade'. In the context of a discussion on sexual immorality he said that: 'If I ever get to the point of going postal...what I'll do is go to some gay parade and blow em all away..'
Very bad form, indeed. Fucked up form. But not a crime.
But what if the "if" is really a "when" in "if"'s clothing?......
;)
:dedhorse:
:stickpoke:
Dana,hon, I always come off snarky, but you still my homegirl too.
I have a bit of a soft spot for jb. Don't know why.
I understand the feeling of being characterized in one form or another, and you are right. I did do that to you. I'm sorry. I respect you and your opinion. I like you, so maybe I feel safe arguing with you. Like family. :)
So don't give him a life sentence, give him a slap on the wrist ... say for a month?
I think that the combination of mental illness and the comment itself deserves concern.
The word "if" doesn't really make me feel any more comfortable.
Whatev. I'll deal with it either way. My peace/piece has been noted.
So you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, but you CAN threaten to kill people. As long as you include the word "if" in the statement. Bullshit.
I've never seen anything like this posted on the Cellar before. It isn't just offensive, it's criminal. YOU CAN'T THREATEN TO KILL PEOPLE. Not "in real life" and NOT here. For the love of jesus ƒuckin' christ on a pogo stick why is this even a debate???
ƒlint is ƒuckin ƒorcing me ƒurther to the ban side.

If you truly believe this is criminal, what have you done about it? Have you called the police? Have you reported this to the authorities? Have you called the media, some investigative news reporter? Here is this "crime" you wail, and I want to know what you're doing about it, besides making a bunch of noise?
I patiently await your answer.

I was thinking of the movie The Fisher King. Maybe Flint is too.
you can't go around threatening shit like that. If jbk were admitted
to the psych unit and said that to intake there would be issues.
There's also more here than what is legal/illegal, and what upsets a single individual.
This is about what we as a community deem acceptable conduct. As far as I am concerned, that kind of comment if allowed to go unchecked is dangerous to our community. We would not deem it acceptable if someone responded to a black (or whatever term is currently in use :p) dwellar by repeatedly calling that dwellar a nigger and making 'joke' threats about lynching niggers and burning crosses on their lawns.
Not because that might upset that individual dwellar, though that obviously would not be good, but also because if those words stand it signals that this is a community that accepts the worst kind of racism and bigotry and in doing so becomes an unwelcoming place to non-whites.
I believe, that by not sanctioning members who engage in the same kind of thing against LBGT/Queer dwellars we give much the same signal. It is no more censorship of free speech than is our desire not to be spammed or intolerably irritated as a community.
I was pretty sure I wanted to advocate having him banned after the threat (and it was a threat), but there is one thing about his psychological make-up that's holding me back. He needs for his own sense of religious superiority to not be accepted. He needs to feel silenced to feed his own disease. On the flip side, I don't want Sheldon Erica et al to feel at all unwelcome here. They are important members of the cellar who need to be listened to. Our community has always been an open place and I want it to stay that way. Maybe JB's family will have him committed soon... If push comes to shove I'd have to go with flint's position, it was a threat of violence and he should be banned for it.
It isn't just offensive, it's criminal. YOU CAN'T THREATEN TO KILL PEOPLE.
THIS IS PROTECTED SPEECH:

"Hahaha, ladies, I'm just playin' ladies, you know I love you."
People say the craziest shit, don't they?
I have said I don't believe there's been a crime committed here, I still believe that. But as Dana and others have said, there's another standard here, our community standard. It is clear that JBK's statement has violated that standard, despite the fact that that standard is subjective and not explicitly published anywhere. It is the standard that we dwellars carry inside ourselves each day. It's not static, it's not identical from one dwellar to another, but it is real.
I find his remark offensive. Others find his remark offensive. I have a problem with talk like that and so do many others. That problem needs solving, needs correction, needs addressing. Here in the cellar, we have very few explicit rules of conduct, and we have very few definite measures to enforce those rules. Though I find his remarks unacceptable, banning him for that remark is the wrong response to that problem. Banning is the wrong tool for this job.
Banning is our most severe response to misbehavior. Misbehavior is not a great term, it sounds much too mild, but I won't use other terms I know are incorrect like "criminal behavior". We have reserved banning for self protection of the cellar itself, for violation of our (few) rules, it is the capital punishment of our code. Since JBK's remarks and actions have not violated our written rules, he should not be subject to this consequence. He *has* violated other "rules" though, he should be subject to other consequences. We have other responses available to us. Most powerful and most effective is open communication among ourselves, including JBK (ironically the exact opposite of banning). It is good that this is happening.
There are other responses available too, like ignoring, formally via the ignore function and informally by just not responding. We do this all the time too, we've got a phrase for it "don't feed the troll" (though JBK isn't trolling in my opinion). This is very effective and may well be in place for individual dwellars. This kind of shunning has the advantages of being very fine grained for the cellar as a whole and for individuals. Some can do it and others can refrain, one can do it sometimes and sometimes not. It's reusable, it's discreet and discrete.
Mocking and shunning are group responses like discussion and ignoring and they can also be effective. I see some of both of these happening here. All these other responses, short of banning are better tools for this problem. I like discussion (no surprise there). And I would like to continue the discussion. What has JBK done? What should be our response? What should JBK's response be? Some things are already established--his remark(s) are offensive and his remarks are not criminal. What now?
What now? I'll tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple of hard-pipe hittin' n*ggas to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow-torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight! I'ma get medieval on your ass!
'Shunning' makes me giggle. Maybe JBK will learn something during Rumspringa. ;)
Awww... you don't remember his proud reply to the compliments made about his shoes?
I'm sorry. Marcellus?
Thought I had the movie rememberized.
Right Bigs.
I would add that there's nothing inherent about the Cellar that suggests one or all will be protected from offensive speech.
I am offended by JB's statements. I'm a little less offended that the immediate response was to call to remove him on the basis that his point of view was offensive, or even, did not respect our particular group-think. The guy is self-contained here. He is easily disregarded. It's not like he's even participating all over the place; he's mostly in his own shitty threads. And everyone kinda knows his deal.
In the tavern analogy, he's like a half-crazy guy ranting at his own table. He's not actually hurting anyone and he's not disrupting the other tables. It's not like he's gonna recruit sensible people to his point of view. Maybe the better question is whether we are therapeutic. I don't know.
...our community standard. It is clear that JBK's statement has violated that standard,
Yup
I find his remark offensive. Others find his remark offensive. ~~Though I find his remarks unacceptable, banning him for that remark is the wrong response to that problem.
Nope. I think the temporary ban has worked well. I think a "time-out" in this case is absolutely acceptable and probably the only real option... say for a month.
I find JB's remarks offensive in every way possible and gives a bad name to both country and faith.
I have seen the ban hammer drop for less. However, this is one very offense and feels very off the cuff remark.
His words and actions need to have consequences.
A temp ban is in order( to agreeing with the group shutter). Perhaps he will learn from this and we can help him from this dark place, for I would rather see his comments quench and condemned rather and being ignore and allowed to fester.
he needs real help I hope he finds it.
I have a suggestion:
A lot of Dwellars want JB banned, permanently or temporarily. JB appeared (I think) at one point or another seemed to somewhat show remorse for some of the things he has said.
How about we satisfy the Dwellars (somewhat), while at the same time allowing JB to 'face the music', so-to-speak:
A voluntary, self-imposed temporary ban of 15-30 days.
What do ya think?
ETA: Just thinkin' aloud, mind you...
Ask me again next week, please.
:dedhorse:
I think the moment has very much passed for any action of that nature. Best to let it lie now and hope that he refrains in future.
I have a question about this site.
Why did this happen?
[ATTACH]38500[/ATTACH]
I repeated the same steps (in the humor thread) with a different image in the post following and it displayed as an image, as expected. I then made a third post using the original image and it also displayed as an image, as expected. But that first one shows up like this image (probably still there like that). Why I wonder.
Perhaps one was hotlinked and the other uploaded.
Rhianne, thanks, but that's not it. Your offer has to do with displaying images for a given user. I don't have that setting configured to not show images, in fact, I see the images in the two subsequent posts.
classicman, no, both were uploaded from my machine. If you quote each message, you'll see they all show the same layout with different attachment numbers naturally.
Thanks for the suggestions, but it's still a puzzle.
Wouldn't it be ironic if JBKlyde was banned right at a user post count of 666?

Great. Now the world will explode in 10, 9, 8...
Even if i still do have my problems with merc, so much THIS. without understanding what's so unbelievably poisonous about what he said, there can certainly be no constructive progression.
Even if to Dana this is about his attacks on me and my identity, shit, i couldn't care less about him telling me i'm gonna burn in hell. It's threats of literal violence and hate crimes where I draw the ban-line in this case.
I never said you were going to "burn in hell" or made literal violent statements towards you.
We have many set pieces of serious conflict. Even mercy earned place in Ibram's signature for the vitriol of his comments made about the same subject, only more personal. There was no call for a ban then, why?
Your memory is short. There many a call for a "Ban".
Hey just what we needed - to dig this shit up again. :cheerldr:
What about when you wanted me banned? oh wait, that's ongoing..... :lol:
I think you should all be banned.
That's right. Banned!
Then I can have this whole place to myself. Imagine the interesting convo's you'd get to read then!
I never said you were going to "burn in hell" or made literal violent statements towards you.
You're right. Which is why I agreed with Dana that understanding is the key to the difference between your bigotry and JBK's bigotry. Because JBK
did make literal violent statements, and
doesn't understand what's wrong with that.
It's not always alllll about YOU, mercy dearest.
Yeahyeahyeah, fuck all that shit.

This was in cookies. What does it mean?
Back in the day, you connected to the Cellar system directly, via modem. Some modems were really fast while others took a good minute to fill a screen with characters.
All the messages scrolled past on the 25 row, 80 column terminals. After 25 rows, the scroll would stop and you'd get a [more] prompt. When you hit Enter the scroll would resume. But if you had a slow modem, you didn't need [more] prompts. So the "term" command would tell the system what speed you were at, so it would know whether to put in the prompt to stop the scroll.

Since it's early, I thought maybe some updating, or upgrading might be taking place?
Haven't had any trouble anywhere else (other sites) this morning.
The Cellar ails.
Glad it's not just me, anyway.
To the news!!
OK this is a bad one, and will require a visit to the server. The system is a little ill and the kind of maintenance it needs can only really be done at the server itself. There will be no image uploads here until then.
FWIW this represents a failing disk so the entire Cellar may have to move to another server.
Sorry UT! I know you don't need this aggravation.
So... I can't get chat to work... is that just me? or is it a related issue?
Related. A lot of things will be broken.
Now may be a good time to his the tip mug. I'm not sure exactly how much I'll have to replace. :(
Gotcha, I'll see what I can do UT :) we'll help out.
Thanks and also, another thing that's temporarily broken is the tipmug fill level updating :( :)
The Cellar messages themselves are stored in a database on a different server and so you can rest assured that they will not be lost.
Goddamn. We are up and running on a different server.
:p:
And images work! Haven't tried chat yet.
OK, it's also mind-bogglingly fast right now because it's going to take a while for everyone's local DNS to be updated with the right server IP. Users may take as long as a day to be able to reach us.
On that note, my PC still can't get here, but my phone can. That amuses me. Can't (don't wanna) tipmug from my phone, but I'll be sure to once I've got secure access. You're awesome, Tony.
:blush: Thanks y'all!
Technical explanation:
Early this morning, while the system was getting backed up, the server reported a bunch of disk errors. For safety purposes, it put itself into a "read only" state.
You might recall that the Cellar itself is on a different server than its database. This is why the forum's messaging system continued to work; new posts could be saved, because they weren't not being saved to the read-only cellar.org, they were being saved to the database server.
And that's why I could restore the forum pretty quickly. I just moved the code to another server, and told the Internet that cellar.org should point to that server instead of the old one. The massive database didn't need to move... just the Cellar code that points to it.
Tip Mug considerations:
The server that the Cellar is now on was never meant to manage the Cellar. This server is ancient, in Internet terms. It has almost no memory (256MB, yes MB), and it may slow down terribly once all the users and search engine spiders find it.
What I notice is that there are many fine rackmount servers on the eBay right now. Unless I'm mistaken, many of them seem to be going for well under their actual value. I think this is part of a trend away from running such servers, but it might do us a real solid favor and give us a new home for cellar.org.
SO: any mug donations that happen through Friday will go into the eBay New Used Server fund, and if there are enough of them I'll try to buy two to also replace the current database server. That will make things really speedy.
do you have something like an actual dollar target, like all the other telethons and pledge drives do?
You may reply by pm if you wish, or no reply at all, of course.
Goddamn. We are up and running on a different server.
:p:
And images work! Haven't tried chat yet.
is the original of this image rotated 90 deg counterclockwise?
Are you a gladiator? You must be cuz you're the only one I've seen make even a feeble attempt at moderation/explanations around here so far.
Nice try on the tip jar thing, but I notice that it's really a beer mug. Guess we all know it's 5:00 where ever YOU are.
PS Do you think I'm cute?
no. you are not cute. you are boring. go away now.
Troll Troll troll yer boat
Gently down Jim Beam
Merrily merrily merrily
Now we can be mean
no. you are not cute. you are boring. go away now.
Well, fine! I think my cell phone is finally charged up by now, anyhow. See how nicely I respond to requests?
Well I was just thinking a sliding scale of sorts, because the more that comes in, the newer and more powerful the server or servers could be. Like, a little over $100 will get one an HP ProLiant from 2005. A little over $200 will get one a Dell Poweredge from 2009. A little over $300 will get one a HP from 2009 but with 6 drives included so it would be simple to RAID up and be even more reliable with more storage. And twice each would make two servers so the database server could remain separate.
There are many many eBay deals out there, it's a matter of working through them all...!
I've priced the cloud computing and there's no big savings... the cloud people are making big profits and remain in high demand...
thank you for answering my question.
are you looking at what's available or are you thinking more of what hardware is best suitable for the intended task? i know that sounds condescending, not what I meant. I kind of mean, I know you're not shopping for new with some configurator tool that lets you pick the components in the quantity / speed / capacity you need. I never really considered the mfg date in my calculations, but then I never was concerned about it even though I did sometimes buy used gear.
I know db servers looooove disk space and memory, for example. What does the replacement server .. What will be the main function of the replacement server(s)? What trait/component will it need or benefit from an abundance of? If it's running pretty nicely (as it seems to me over the last many months) on a mere 256 mb of memory, perhaps a new server with gobs of gigs of ram would be a "waste", for example.
I'm just curious.
There ya go; I'm typing this on my phone, in Wilmington... the server was almost dead from lack of memory, so I swapped the old cellar server's memory in and that is giving us some breathing room
Yes. Thank you. For more than just fixing shit today.
Toad, should we be refraining from doing anything? Like, oh, I don't know....posting frivolous images/videos?
Steady on, old boy, if the fly didn't kill you, abstinence from posting frivolous images/videos surely will :eek:
Way to go Toad :) You da man!
Now, a benefactor is interested in promoting this Tip Mug project and here's the deal.
From as of now, until 11:59pm Saturday a "matching grant" will double any donation, until there have been $300 of donations to match.
Iit should be pointed out that there has already been another large donation before matching, but we wanted to start this as of now. It will probably ensure that we can get two quality servers without a lot of mileage, and ensure that the Cellar is in really good shape as we move ahead.
Tip mug donations are anonymous because we really don't want to make anyone feel bad if they can't afford to give. Whether they give, or don't for ANY reason, I hope people feel equal on the Cellar.
I will also say that if there is enough money for us to get a decent amount of disk space, I will be looking to create an image hosting system for Dwellars, as a way of saying thanks yet one more time.
I will point to the eBay sale pages once the servers are bought, so you can see what the donations have brought us.
*phew*
This has been a rough day, and by the way, making it all that much tougher is having to schedule people coming through my house to see if they want to buy it. There were two people today! And I can't be here when the house is being shown!
UT
hang in there man. keep your priorities straight in this stressful time. there are *lots* of houses out there, ok?
There is but *one* cellar.
Plan accordingly.
;)
Bollocks! My contribution was 10 minutes too early!
?
what's wrong?
I'll match it! (um.. .within reason. I don't think UT can spend monopoly money).
pm if you wish.
No it counted. Takes a little while for Paypal to chew on it.
The first $175 is matched. (!)
Yay for generous cellarites! :) You guys rock
Bollocks! My contribution was 10 minutes too early!
Mine too!
It was too early? I'll make the same offer to you. I'll match yours (within reason).
been a while since I've tipped. Seems like a good time to make up for that.
are the cookies out of commission until we get a new server?
They work now... needed a configuration tweak

sweet.
Can you tell us what on the big "tote board" at this time? (I remember hearing that term, and I believe it's short for total.)
With the matching we are just over $900. This will give us some fine options indeed.
awesome. thanks bigV. sorry it wasn't much, this is the worst month for us
With the matching we are just over $900. This will give us some fine options indeed.
Wow. I'm impressed!
you all rock.
Thanks a million UT.
wow, that's so awesome!
Well done everyone, and especially well done to Da Toadster!
Although I expect that the "regular" mug is going short this month... I am planning to reserve a segment of that for the monthly nut. [COLOR="Blue"] (Keep giving folx, if you haven't)[/COLOR]
Also as time goes by it occurs to me that I need to put a lot of engineering thought into this. What *precisely* is the best setup in terms of disk, memory, etc. versus a more recent system that hasn't been so used? And I'm thinking maybe new hard drives is a good plan rather than just taking the up-to-five years old drives in a used system. A lot of considerations.
Is the thread subscription email notification broke down or does it just not like me? Seems like a few weeks since I got any email love (from the cellar at least).
Ok, guess I didn't read far enough back, server issues, bad stuff all around in the poor cellar so I assume that's the cause. Best of luck with repairs UT!

We should consider a software change after the hardware change.
The gamer forum I visit has a one click rating system. There are a range of ratings: agree, disagree, like, dislike, funny, informative, creative. A tally then appears on the post, showing the icons for ratings.
That then also feeds into a rep system for users, but I wouldn't suggest we have anything like that here. The ratings though are kind of fun.
We've been campaigning to get the mods to add 'facepalm' and 'Wtf?'

I'm with im on this. There are individuals here who post a fair amount of dreck and occasional irreplaceable brilliant insight. Would they keep posting if they got slapped down 9 of 10 posts? I'm willing to wade through the flotsam.
I bet you wish you could have just hit a little + sign huh?
No, that's like whistling at a chick hitchhiking, while you blow by at 65.
:lol:
Yes,it is like that.
Not that Bruce ever passed by a chick hitch hiking.
Should we dispense with annual moderators elections and just hold special elections if a moderator resigns, is impeached, banned; or, kicks the bucket?
I realize that some may like having elections to gauge their relative popularity even though they're not at all likely to change the status quo; but, the competition seems to detract from the spirit of the holiday season.
I think the elections are good. People should have a choice.
The job has been a lot easier since UT changed the sign up procedure.
Yeahbut, UT's getting up in years and sometimes forgets to get the ball rolling in a timely fashion. After elections, he forgets to update moderators' names in the Cellar introduction. I think he just gets a tad overwhelmed what with the holiday season and all.
Perhaps we should at least move the elections then. How about April 1st?
What say the wolf lady?
April first is fitting.
who you calling a lady!?
I like April 1, too.
Getting back to the "ratings" thing:
I'm with im on this. There are individuals here who post a fair amount of dreck and occasional irreplaceable brilliant insight. Would they keep posting if they got slapped down 9 of 10 posts? I'm willing to wade through the flotsam.
One of the other forums I visit has a "Thanks" feature (for your incredibly useful, insightful, whatever) post. The names of the people thanking the poster are shown below the post. Naturally, there's always a gang of the usual suspects who thank each other, but if someone posts something really good, I'll notice all the "Thanks" beneath and decide to read it to see what all the fuss is about. It's a very large forum, and the "Thanks" help seperate the wheat from the chaff.
While the Cellar is nowhere near as large as this other place, I can still see where a thanks/plus system might be helpful here and even kind of fun. I don't get discouraged from posting on that other forum if my every word is not greeted with universal acclaim, and no one else does either. It's no different really from starting a thread and seeing if you get any bites. Sometimes you do - sometimes you don't - no biggie.
Rep points are kind of fun, too. The system I'm familiar with lets you give other posters rep points for a really great post, but the rep points are added to the username field rather than the post itself. If you want to make a comment along with your rep point, it gets sent to whoever made the post as a pm, but the rest of the board doesn't see the personal comment or even who it was that awarded the points.
I think either or both of the above might be interesting to try. We could have rep points and/or "Thanks" for a given trial period and then everyone could vote if we want to keep them or not.
I am still with griff who was with im. ;)
Rating of any kind is extraneous and distracting. What's all the fuss about? Usually much ado about nuttin' (see merc wtf.)
Yeah, but you and griff could be thanking each other and giving one another rep points for these very posts and no one could thank me, never mind giving me rep points and that would prove YOU are the ones who truely understand the Cellar gestalt if only we had a rep point system. :D
Sam, can users there turn these features on and off themselves as we can do with some of our post displays?
[COLOR="SlateGray"][User Control Panel>Settings & Options>Edit Options>Thread Display Options>Visible Post Elements>Signatures, Avatars, Images.][/COLOR]
Jim's sockpuppets would be thanking him all the time!

The two forums I'm familiar with which use rep points do allow people to turn that feature on or off. One of these forums also allows people to "thank" posts and you get thanked whether you want to be or not.
Having had a bit of a think about it, reading others' thoughts on it, I've changed my mind. I don't think rep or like/thank options would be a good addition to the Cellar.
They work brilliantly on the gaming forum I frequent...though not everybody thinks so...and they did end up changing the system to end the 'rep wars' and spates of 'gangrepping'...
It works on a gamer site...because we just gamify it. When the game's down and people are bored they take their guildwars to the boards and play them out through the rep system.
Nowadays since they changed the system it's nowhere near as gameable.
Shame, really, I used to like the old rep system. The new one doesn't allow personal comments to be sent with rep points. They used to be fun. Now is more like a post rating system.
Have you ever noticed that
anonymous posters look angry?
not really. I think he wooks tweet, myself.
I'm using firefox 17.0.1. Starting today, I'm seeing some words in blue, double underlined in blue, with links to ads. For instance, my post about Johnny O. Taking off his clothes, the word clothes was underlined and blue, and when I hover over it, an ad appears.

Yup, time for

UT, are you going to un-ban anyone for Christmas this year? Could be the start of a new holiday tradition.

We've already had a Christmas miracle ... 2013 is going to be the Chinese Year of the Toad.
People have been asking about the Shawnee Resurrection, and i explained it somewhere, but I don't want to be confusing so I'll explain here.
I wanted to use the cellar email function to try to contact Gravdigr. The email for IM was one i rarely remember i even have, so i updated. It now must be OK'd before i can post from the account.
The toad has a lot on his plate and i don't know if a mod can do it. No hurry,though, i just wanted to explain the Festivus Miracle of the return of Shawnee.
it's the second coming! They Mayans were right - just off by a day or two.

I took a look and tried to change you from "awaiting confirmation" to "confirmed" but it looks like I don't have that power. I can make the change in the little drop down menu, but there's no way for me to save the change.
So we can celebrate the miracle of Shawnee for a little while longer.

My experience is that code remnants can appear like that when a page hasn't thoroughly loaded over a slower internet connection like dial-up. If it doesn't disappear after refreshing the page or happens with a high speed connection, then I'd look for other causes.

My ancient laptop finally died for real, and the replacement came with Windows 8. (And, meh. I'm not as miserable as I thought I'd be with it, though I do pretend the stupid Metro interface doesn't exist, I always go straight to the desktop.)
Anyway, my new laptop can't view embedded YouTube videos on the Cellar. I get audio, but just a white screen in the video box. I can see them on other sites. I looked into the status of Flash, but Adobe told me that it is embedded in the code of Windows 8 and there's nothing to install or update.
Is this a Vbulletin thing, or an "I'm missing some stupid local add-on" thing?
Is there a setting you need to enable to let flash work in ie?
Not that I can see. And the videos do work in other sites.
It's not a huge deal, I often am not able to watch videos anyway (either because I'm on my phone, or because any sound will give my position away to the kids,) and when I want to I can just open them in a new window and then they work.
or because any sound will give my position away to the kids.
You are a stitch.
Update: I suddenly began having problems getting Yahoo mail to work with my browser as well. Who the hell knows.
I switched to Firefox, which Yahoo mail is fine with, and the embedded Youtube videos on the Cellar are working this way as well. I honestly prefer IE to Firefox, but at this point, fuck 'em. I can't use something that no one else is compatible with.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I'm a wee bit confused (nothing new there!) ... registered, validated, took me to a page suggesting I update my profile (always a good idea when a new poster - first thing I do is check out the newb's ID ) but clicking on the link from various places tells me this is verbotten.
I mean I find it intriguing that I can't tell you who I am an am a mystery until such times as I've posted sufficiently for you all to figure that out.... but it does seem a tad inefficient.
Or have I broken something already and shall hence with be turfed out on my ear?
We had an unusually bad time with spammers and made things more restrictive to keep them out, but apparently made them a bit too restrictive. And there may still be a few kinks to work out.
All that is to say that I have no idea what the problem is, but it's almost certainly not you. It's probably some glitch.

Okay, am going mad. I need to move some messages from my Inbox to a folder I've made ("Contacts")
I have obviously done this before, as I have quite a few contacts in there.
But I am stumped as to how I did it.
Should be an easy question to answer for anyone with half a brain.
Probably doesn't help that I didbn't dleep last night and am watching Dr Who on BBC catch-up.
Just click ur heels together and say, theres no place like home. ;)
Tick the boxes on the right-hand side of the messages you want to move. At the bottom of the page, on the right again, is a box that says "Move to folder..." Just hit GO and it will ask you where to move the messages you've ticked.
Or you can use 'ctrl' to select particular emails out of a list of emails (you can skip around, basically) or you can select emails in series by using 'shift' and clicking on the first and last you want to move. Then you just right click and drag...all your selections will follow along being, and 'drop' it into your new folder.
I have a question.
Some time ago I posted a song I really liked. I can't remember what it was or really much about it. I know someone (Dana I think) commented on it too.
Is there a way to search for my own posts in a particular thread?
Yes, you go up one directory so you can see all the threads including the one you want to search, then you click on the number of posts under the "Replies" for the thread you want to search. It will open a window with a list of everyone who replied to that thread, and how many replies they have. Scroll down and find you name, and click on the number of replies you have made. That will give you a list of the replies you have made, and you can browse through them and open the ones you want.
It sounds more complicated than it is.
Thanks glatt! I'm still not locating it but who knows exactly where I put it.
I didn't know you could do the search from the top of the thread!
I found it!
It must have been fairly new in 2009 when I posted it. I've sure heard it a lot since then. But not enough. Such a pretty song.
Gonna go post it. The one I posted back then is broken.

Hey Clod, what does the plus [+] symbol after your username mean? The asterisk [*] after mine (on my screen) symbolizes that I've elected to be invisible; but, I don't know/forgot what the plus symbol stands for. :o
I don't know, I don't see a plus...
It means she is on your buddy list. :heart-on:
I don't know, I don't see a plus...
Thanks Clod. Your username became my guinea pig as it happened to be active during the wee hours when I got curious about Currently Active Users list annotations.
It means she is on your buddy list. :heart-on:
But if I put the same username on ignore, I don't get a minus [-] sign next to it. I know that annotations aren't limited to the PM contact list since invisible mode is marked with an asterisk [*]. What other annotations are there? Is there already a list somewhere here that I've missed?
That's it, just + and * . I don't know if it's documented anywhere.
Do we have some free android based app for cellar? I tried using the forum on my phone and it offered me tapatalk. I just want to confirm if there is anything official out there that I can use?
Nope, just Tapatalk, but Tapatalk is great. It's one of those apps worth paying for. It even gives you notifications of forum PMs. Amazing.
The only hassle is that it does tend to mark your messages as read. I haven't delved into how to keep it from doing that.
Thanks UT. Just wanted to be sure about what I pray for. Will try out tapatalk.
Is the site really slow for anyone else the morning? Or do I need to pour some coffee into my PC?
Very slow here but its prolly just the volume of NSA traffic.
The server is not seeing much traffic from the Chinese hackers.
Is cellar chat permanently offline?
Well I uh
Is there interest in it, I could restorenit.
I like it. I miss it. I don't know of any other group realtime textchat options for the circle of friends I have here. I reckon Google Hangouts would do it, though I've never tried.
One vote for cellar chat here.
you know we uh could actually voice chat on the skypes
I don't think the Cellar Chat is happening, but I could probably replace it something else. The dude who wrote it is not supporting it.
Is the site really slow for anyone else the morning? Or do I need to pour some coffee into my PC?

It's been extremely slow for me since I posted that, but only from my work PC. Tapatalk is fast and my home connection is fast.
I don't think my firm does anything to block sites, so I wonder where the loose connection is. Griff, do you still have a slow connection to the Cellar?
I guess I should take it as a hint to look for stuff to do while at work. There's a closet that needs cleaning out. I suppose I could tackle that.
Yeah, the pages are not loading fully if there are any images. This machine does have issues but my other surfing is fine.
WTF I don't have this issue
Its very strange because its acting like it does when I have a poor connection but mlb is streaming fine and reddit is fine. Could it be a packet routing issue rather than a cellar issue?
Yeah, the pages are not loading fully if there are any images. This machine does have issues but my other surfing is fine.
Exactly my experience. If I keep hitting F5 every 20 seconds or so, the images will eventually all load, but I usually give up before then. I changed my preferences so that I'm only loading 10 posts per page, but that hasn't helped much. It's like dial up. But worse.
Works fine from home and from tapatalk.
Weird.
It might mean there is congestion somewhere between cellar.org and you.
Try running "tracert cellar.org" in a cmd window. It will tell you roughly how long it takes to reach all the routers between you and the Cellar.

OK, why the extra hops, between core-2-gig-vlan-500.hq.dca.net and cellar.org, only for the people who are getting slowness.
HOW COULD THAT BEEEEE
Can griff or glatt do a tracert 207.245.110.180 and see if the results are different?
And is it always the same, like if you do another tracert cellar.org there will still be a set with asterisks?

UT,
If a user starts a Social Group (let's say they name it MugNez) that requires permission to join and they do their posting there; then, they post links in the forums back to their posts in the Social Group, would only those permitted in the Social Group be able to follow the links?
Just wondering if this would be a viable, albeit cumbersome, way to screen viewers while participating in the Cellar at large.
That wouldn't work, but what are you really trying to accomplish? Maybe there's another way.
I was looking for a way to give some privacy to users here from the same IRL family. Two users who would rather not cross paths could mutually agree to put each other on ignore; but, they would still glean much from the surrounding conversation by others. There would also be no way to verify compliance. Social Groups is the only way I've noticed that one user can exclude another user from viewing their posts and posts by others containing sensitive information.
Just trying to give a departing user another option that's immediately available.
I don't know why but I've been getting duplicate pictures. I think this only happens when I attach pictures from my phone, using tapatalk. I've been attaching pictures the same way since the beginning. This only started to happen recently. Do you know why this happens? Or does this happen to anyone else?
Don't know! I did a quick google search but it didn't turn up anything. I've seen this for other posters too but I can't remember...?
Glatt was having trouble with double pics as well.
It's happened to me.
It could happen to you
I was hoping installing the update would fix it, but it didn't. It doesn't always happen though. Let me try now, just for kicks.
[ATTACH]45120[/ATTACH]
As a glatt fan I would look at that pic twice.
Did it show up twice? I can't tell on my phone.
I see two... one in a blue "Attached Images" box, and one above it.
You're seeing two pictures of glatt in post 1880? :eek:
Yep, I see one through Tapatalk on my phone, but two in the web browser on my laptop.
Weird. I'm at work and only see one.
When I go over to the Finger Lakes thread, the double posted images are all now just one image, and the salami monster one that I had accidentally deleted when I tried to remove the duplicate is now back where it was!
I only see one on my PC. :crazy:

Test
glatt,
when you post a pic using tpapatalk, do you hit the INLNE button? and does it ask you where to host it/ Tapatalk/this forum.
i hit the inline button on that one. I see on pic on my phone, I see two on my desktop computer, like what HM posted.
did NOT hit inline that time
This is what I see on tapatalk. I click the image icon[ATTACH]45135[/ATTACH]
And then select "upload to this forum."
[ATTACH]45137[/ATTACH]
and now I only see one of each of my images when I view from my work PC.
Only see one image in posts 1892 & 1896 on my desktop.
I don't know if I'm helping anyone here.
Probably nobody is helping, but we can have fun playing with the phones posting pictures to see what happens.
we're all gonna wind up on the Group W bench
You mean over there, with the mother-stabbers and the father-rapers?:eek:
From work, I still see two Glatts (four including my screenshot), but no other images on this page are being doubled.

Same here. The problem started after I updated the app. What kinds of OS are we all using? I'm using OS X version 10.8.4. Could this account why some see 1 image while others see 2 images? Btw, I use tapatalk on the iPhone. I'm wondering if different phones make a difference or not.
The Cellar is generally LGBT friendly; however, I don't recall anyone coming out as a self described "L" here. Are we doing something wrong?

Currently, save it to

Be aware there is a limit to the amount of audio Soundcloud will let you use with a free account. Because they are dummies.
And is it always the same, like if you do another tracert cellar.org there will still be a set with asterisks?
Did you ever figure out an explanation for that slowness back in July?
The Cellar is slow as molasses on a February morning in Maine today. NOt sure if it's the Cellar or my connection to the Cellar.
I ran a tracert and am getting those asterisks again. (Uploading the attachment just took like 10-15 minutes.)

just curious, I have a working solution, since I'm posting, *but*...
why is it that "www.cellar.org" produces an error and "cellar.org" is fine? no double quotation marks, of course.

Does the Cellar have any time capsule threads, containing things like predictions for the Cellar's/dwellars' future(s), that were taken off the public board to be made public again on a specified date (perhaps during its 25th anniversary)?
According to this:
http://cellar.org/faq.php, the moderators' current term ran out back in January of this year. Apparently they've been on a month to month basis since then. They don't seem to be causing any trouble; so, maybe the next term could run through 1/1/2015 hmmmm?

Anyone else having trouble opening the humor thread in tapatalk?
I've been having some trouble opening some recent threads in tapatalk. Can't remember which one(s.)
And sometime when the signal is weak and I start to open a thread, it craps out on me and doesn't load, but the thread is marked as read. So I have to remember to go back to it later. Tapatalk has been annoying like that lately. I'd guess it has a 5% failure rate for me.
just that one thread for me. dunno what I did to it.
Is it because I stuck a youtube video in there, which is unusual? If so, yank it.

IIRC, there seems to have been more new members listed at the bottom of the main index page with actual female names than actual male names. It also seems that often neither shows up in the forums. Is there a predominant reason why?
2/3rds of all new accounts turn out to be spammers from Asia. They use western names in order to seem legitimate. I suppose they chose female names because they have more success with them.
not just e-spammers.
having worked as a manager in telesales in Britain with a workforce of almost all from the Indian subcontinent with typical names, they almost all adopted Western aliases.
bloody weird listening to your employee called Virender or Darmesh speaking in a heavily Indo-Pakistani accent and saying his name is Vincent or Danny.
I openly laughed at one once--not a telemarketer, I just hang up on them, but a customer service number I had called.
He said, "My name is Steve,"
and I involuntarily snorted and said, "No it's not!"
I wish so much that he had taken me up on it and told me his real name, but he just cowered and said, "Ah, uh, er--how may I help you ma'am?"

At the top right of the banner there is an old typewriter.
It's surely been a long time since that banner was made but might someone know what make and model that typewriter is?
I'm looking for pics and info on that exact typewriter so that I might model it in Maya for use in a Cellar video.
Pictures would be most helpful but the make and model would be helpful too. Maybe there are some detailed images on the net of it somewhere.
Does anyone have any info on this?
you could try this:
http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=royal+typewriter&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ei=MFbjUrfIOY2U0QWe-YCABQ&ved=0CAsQsAQ#i=7
or just google
Royal typewriter for more pics.
I'm not convinced it's the same model, but our banner one has a family resemblance to Royal (as opposed to other makes like Remington for example)
It may be an "artist's interpretation" too.
Perfect.
This is the one from the banner, IMO. Pretty close if not THE one.
Thanks for the info Molasar.
When the details get too complicated to add to the model, I'll use the "artist's interpretation" Bruce. :blush:
no worries, just so happen to have worked with a Royal for 5 years during last century so i was pretty sure, though wasn't sure about how the picture on our banner had been edited

How long have the IoTD threads had star ratings?
Couple of years. It was announced at some point, I think it went in with the tags.
Goddamn I'm oblivious.
Awww, don't feel bad, I'm A-negative.
Wait, what?
I didn't notice the ratings either. So, to experiment, I rated the Bran Castle thread (4 stars, bravo!) and now when I look at the entire IotD listing, there are a few that have the star ratings and most don't. The Bran Castle that I rated has no stars. I thought maybe the stars only show up if someone has rated that particular entry. When I cursor-hover over the ones with stars, the least amount of ratings I've found is 3. Maybe they don't show up until they've had at least 3 people vote?
I don't think Tapatalk supports star ratings
Where are the ratings on IOTD? I'm using Chrome does that make a difference? I'm so confused I don't know what to do.

I just checked myself (before I wrecked myself). It says I'm looking at 'Home Base'...preeeety sure I'm in 'Cellar Meta', says so at the top of this page.
Well that's different. I'll see me (and I'm imbisible to others btw) at the last thread I was in if I go directly to 'who's online.'
You'll see you in Who's Online only if you're logged in. You have to log in to access the Who's Online page; but, you can log out while on that page, select Return to the page you were previously viewing when the Cellar Message gives you that option (rather than Go to forums index) and you'll still be on the Who's Online page only you'll appear as a guest. Other than that, the information is the same. It's a peculiarity of the Who's Online function. If you performed the same procedure on a user profile page, you'd lose the photo, friends listing, messages listing ... etc. after you logged out.
If you're invisible, others who are monitoring Who's Online at the same time you are can't see you; but, you can see them if they're not invisible too. Using the above procedure, even those who ARE visible can monitor Who's Online anonymously appearing as just a guest.

I saw a quote in a Cellar cookie today that piqued my curiosity. It just seemed a little too perfect. I thought it might be a fake.
"I'll put an end to the idea that a woman's body belongs to her . . . the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand."
- Adolf Hitler, _Mein Kampf_
I had never read Mein Kampf, but I went off to Google books to see if I could find the quote. I couldn't. Then I went to the
full text version located at the internet archive. Couldn't find it in their version.
Gutenberg project. Not there either.
It is repeated all over the web though, and appears to have been used in a Planned Parenthood pamphlet. So it may have originated there.
I think it should be deleted here unless somebody can find an original source showing Hitler really did say it.
Yeah - I'll leave that one to you Merkins. Google that stuff in Europe and you might end up on a list somewhere:P
You think you're not already on a bunch of lists? ;)
Hehehehe. More than likely ;P
It may be tricky to search for a translated phrase. It might be a complete fake, or it might be that Planned Parenthood translated something from the book using phrasing that met their ends.
In any case, under Hitler's rule, you could get the
death penalty for abortions.
Hehehehe. More than likely ;P

Can the admin and moderators move threads from a Social Group to the Forums?
If so, could they move just the opening post of such a thread that way?
I'm asking because it would be nice if we could simply have an IOTD Social Group where dwellars could post either IOTD thread ready pictures with narratives; or, just links to pictures for any volunteers to make ready. Everyone would have to understand that these would not be discussion threads (no replies to the OP) so that Social Group threads could be easily moved to IOTD.
If; however, the Social Group OPs alone could be moved to IOTD, even though there are replies, then everyone could appraise the images posted.
Just a thought.
I bet he's a crossfitter.
Moving between social groups and regular forums can't be done.

Is there a way to search or scan the entire database's gallery of pictures ?
Or, does anyone know of a way to find images based on a Range of Dates, or on a given poster's Username ?
I know about:
Advanced Search based on "text",
Advanced Search based on UserName + "text",
Search this Thread + Advanced Search based on UserName,
Search this Thread + Advanced Search based on UserName + text,

it's the difference between no sig Line and a different sig line.

I can't download a new program, because this is at work. Any ideas?
Irfanview
I can't download a new program, because this is at work. Any ideas?
my version of paint has a home tab and under the home tab is resize.
Oh, thanks glatt. Mine showed up as just the box on top of another box, and I didn't realize it meant resize until I hovered over it after your post. So, thanky thanks!
Looks that way when you have the window collapsed
Somewhere on this site exists a thread about game cams, game cameras, game camera pictures, trail cams, trail cameras, trail cam pictures, deer cams, deer cameras, deer camera pictures or some motherfucking combination thereof...If someone could confirm that I have not imagined this thread, I would be grateful. I just want to know that I am not, in fact, losing my goddamned mind.

Thanks, but, no, that's not the one I was thinking of. The one I'm on about would be a few years old.

I thought the same. I went through the 'threads started by Big Sarge', and, found no love. Might have been started by The Mercenary. I checked his threads too, to no avail.
Thanks anyway Feller Dwellars, maybe I
did imagine it.

Is this number of visits from this machine or is this my lifetime visits under this account?
[ATTACH]53737[/ATTACH]
Seems really high if it's from this machine, but I am in the Cellar a lot.
:blush:
I wonder if it's counting each page loaded.
I open each unread thread in a new tab. I just looked again after opening three new threads and the number increased by 4. New posts, thread 1, thread 2, thread 3.
So does it use cookie data on this machine alone, or is it all devices?
I clear my cookies several times a day. You have my permission to check my account to see what it says, if you wish.
so you type in your password every time you come to the Cellar?
so you type in your password every time you come to the Cellar?
Yes, I do. And I open pages in tabs as well sometimes 12-15 at a time.
Ah, didn't think of that. :smack: No, my password is stored on my computer. Ccleaner gives me the option to store selected cookies in a set aside section, exempt from cleaning. I keep two sites in that section, one being here. [SIZE="1"]nevermind [/SIZE]
... So does it use cookie data on this machine alone, or is it all devices?
Check the
anonymous account. If the number of website visits is high, then it's all devices.
Firefox wouldn't use cookie data to compile this number. It would do its own counting.
I've received a number of PMs over the past few days but in each case the Email notification function doesn't appear to have been triggered.

Um yeah I broke that.

I did get a http gateway too busy message yesterday... was weird.
My inbox just got a barrage of old notifications.
It's cos I screwed up! It just reprocessed a bunch of old mail. Turns out, outbound mail was fucked up! Sorry bout that.
Is the Email notification system working at present?
It is now!
Not sure how long it was down; I think it's been down for several weeks. I know it was down for a bit in November and some of those messages also got reprocessed when I told it to reprocess, so I had like 500 server-related messages from back then :|

Not a question, but, the googly-eyed monkey is just fucking awesome.

I would not be disappointed, nor, displeased, to see the googly eyes stay on the monkey. Very internet.
It's not really that creepy, is it?
Is it marking a special occasion? Or just because?
It's for International Googly Eye Day yesterday, and Beest's birthday.
Forget Googly Eye day.

You got a new bag of weed didn't you?
Anyone have any idea why I can't see embedded YouTube videos on the Cellar? All I get is a black stripe, or in some cases, a black box where the player should be.
Recently Big Sarge and John Sellers posted vids that appear like this on my screen:
[ATTACH]57542[/ATTACH]
This affects older YouTube vids embedded on the Cellar, too.
I can see videos fine at the YouTube page. Also, I couldn't readily find a LiveLeak video (on the Cellar) to see if it shows up, but Vimeo vids (on the Cellar) are working ok.
I'm confused.
I'm getting the same result and I think it is because our browsers have collectively agreed not to give a crap about flash.
I'm running Firefox 34.0.5 and haven't updated in forever, can my browser really just decide to not speak Flash anymore?
You have updated, your browser just didn't say anything!
34.0.5 was released on December 1, 2014.
If it had updated, wouldn't my version number change? Current version is 48.0, released on August 2, 2016.
Uh well then Youtube has stopped supporting Flash and either way it won't work again until I fix the bbcode
Thank you very very much!
fuckin fixed
Fuckin' thanks!
What was the deal (if it can be explained simply)? Hope it wasn't too big a PITA.
I think YouTube must have ended support of their flash platform... I changed the code to how they embed now and it looks like an improvement. Long overdue because all the browsers support video on their own and don't need some dumb helper application to get in the way.

I'm having a problem embedding youtube tags using the youtubewide tag. The symptom is "that video does not exist". I use the whole url, fine. I use youtube/youtube (not the wide ones), fine. youtubewide doesn't work though.

Sure, think about the post and decide if there is something of value you can add to the discussion and make a post of your own in response.
I really like what you've said there glatt.
Thanks, UT. I like what you said too.
Boo!! I downvote both of you for petty, unrelated reasons. I want you to feel my disinterest on a personal level.
Like buttons are, like, the bumper stickers of the intrawebz.
"Honk if you like my post!"
If I want your approval or disapproval of my post(s) I'll beat it out of you. (Or beat it off on you, depending on what floats your boat)
Oh, and I like what all of you said but not clodfobble because I don't like chicks who aren't disinterested in me.
I just posted a LiveLeak video over in the Aircraft thread.
It was a minor nightmare. Stuff I didn't put there kept showing up in the post. I usually have to delete their "read more at LiveLeak" thing that appears when you copy something from them, but this was more than that.
It was a genuine PITA.
That's not right, is it?
Depends on how tender your ass is.
It *could be* a false alarm.

I had a feeling this would be the reaction even as I posted the inquiry. Oh well, no biggie.
FTR, on a site like Twitter, the "heart" button is really useful. If someone likes your tweet, they can click or tap the heart button, and person who posted the tweet gets a notification, both by email (if chosen), and via Twitter's "Notifications" page...no actual reply necessary. The heart button also shows how many likes a tweet gets.
Content is king.
Not like levels.
useful is in the brain of the beholder. For many, notifications of likes/dislikes etc are just another annoying thing you need to turn off. The Cellar is an alternative to Facebook and Twitter, not a poor relative that needs grooming to become a clone. If like farming is your thing, post there. If discussion is what you want, post here. You can always post "do you like what I said?" if you need to know. And there's no rule against posting the same thing on Facebook as here. You could always post on facebook first to test the water, and then here if it gets enough likes :D
I have found that folks here generally look for the positive, so if they enjoyed reading what you wrote, they will tell you about it and maybe start a discussion, and if they didn't, they'll just move on. Silence is very telling.
Alright. I get it. Nobody likes this idea. I shouldn't have asked.
BTW, I don't do Facebook, and Twitter is mostly just a pastime for me. Also, discussion isn't Twitter's main function. Otherwise, tweets wouldn't limited to 140 characters.
Why is your post invisible?
I was being very telling.
... Silence is very telling.

Shit. All this time I thought it was golden. That explains how I got caught and why I'm broke.
Now then, no need to be so judgmental. Silence could be golden and telling. Or questioning. Let's be welcoming to all silences. Should we have a thread of silence to show support?
Silence is golden; duct tape is silver.

found it, right under where I'd collapsed it with that little double chevron button thingy. I'm guessing I've clicked it four times now. Once by accident hiding the box, once by discovery to reveal the box again, and one more pair to confirm my discovery.
All good now, thanks UT!
Don't EVEN try dialing out on a Stargate. If you don't work those chevrons right, who knows where you'd end up!

You did nothing to hide the quick reply box, you did nothing to reveal it. I can see how "thanks" might seem... Inappropriate. Thanks for fixing the button would be, but that's not what I did.
Thanks for the cellar. No sarcasm.
I have opted to receive instant Email notification for new posts in subscribed threads and PMs, yet I never receive any.

OK, trying to think of the easy stuff - Is this one of those threads? Current/correct email on file here? Did you log in to your email? I only get notifications for PM's and thats always worked here for me.

Yes, my Email address is up to date and Email is always on somewhere; phone, iPad or PC.
I opt for any thread where I have posted, to be added to the subscribed list but have never had a notification Email.
FWIW, It hasn't always been like this and I did opt out of receiving notifications a while back, but having opted back in a few months ago it has never worked since.
It turns out we are on a Hotmail block list, in their error. No email from The Cellar will reach Hotmail users at all.

There was a rift in the space-time continuum and 4,487 other universes intersected with this one right at the Cellar Log In resulting in 4,487 Gravdigrs going online here all at the same time.
The rift existed for only a few moments; then, sealed itself leaving you wondering what that was about and your 4,487 counterparts being cut off thinking their log-in was unsuccessful because they mistyped their passwords.
These things happen all the time. Perhaps you've experienced an unsuccessful log-in attempt yourself.

What's up with John Sellers and the banned user title? Was that his chosen user title (can't remember) and he's playing possum (last activity 11/04); or, did I miss something (not asking for specifics)?
He chose it. He's not banned.
Thanks, I guess he just wants everyone to know he's a big fan of that roll-on antiperspirant.
Are there time limits on how soon we have to respond to questions asked in threads or instant messages? I'm asking because another member seems to keep getting upset with me for not replying within a certain timeframe, so if there is one, what is it? A couple of days seems reasonable to me, but if there are new rules in place, can an admin let me know? Maybe a sticky post would be appropriate to make the announcement?

Flint, there are no time limits on replying to a thread or instant message that are set by the Cellar.

Other than that the timeliness; or, timing of one's replies in aggregate shall not be intolerably irritating. :D
Okay, cool, so, "gray area" on site owner singling out individual members to harangue about coming back to the Cellar to post on particular threads, including intrusively messaging them on their personal devices and refusing to accept that they are occupied with a social obligation as a valid reason for not immediately logging on to the Cellar to comply with the site owner's pushy demands..that's okay then.
Oh, then using administrator privileges to magically delete a post someone hasn't had time to reply to yet. Replacing it with a snarky, dismissive comment.
Basically singling out specific members for personal abuse is an okay thing for an impartial site owner to do. Got it.
Anyone can edit or delete a post within an hour.
There's no reason to reply to a deleted post. I reconsidered it and removed it. The post was incorrect in several ways. I'm sorry you saw it and it made you feel bad. You may be angry at me for writing it in the first place, if it makes you feel better. When I wrote it and removed it, it made me feel better to be angry and then to stop.
Are you still mad about April? That was 8 months ago, and was certainly no big deal, as is this.
It's a big deal to me.
But I apologize for overreacting.
If you care: I am facing enormous emotional pressures in my life (which are not your problem--especially since I'm not open enough to even share these things) but in that context--I'm trying to gradually re-open a social connection to the Cellar community, but every time I come back here, I feel like you are especially mean and critical towards me, as if you don't want me here and are trying to make me leave. I think you're trying to curate me out of the community because you personally don't like me. :mecry:
I love you man. I super-hated what you did in April because I saw it as you don't really care about us. If you care, I am sorry. I edited that message when I realized not only was it incorrect, but it was emotionally the wrong tone, too.
~ kiss me you fool ~
Fine, whatever, mean-face.
When you(Flint) come back after a long absence you don't magically erase your history and start from square one. The Cellar has a long memory but most are willing to take a wait and see attitude. You want respect? You have to earn it.
That's it, I'm leaving forever.
I think you are imagining an entire Cellar ganged up against you.
It's not. We're not.
I don't have any problem with anyone here, except specifically Undertoad, and we've sorted it out. Everybody else: it's been settled. Thank you, come again.
Most are wait and see, but once again "it's all about me".:rolleyes:
Footnote: apparently Bruce has a "long memory" that he never liked me in the first place. No big secret, Bruce, but it's completely shoe-horned into this conversation.
Well excuse me, I didn't realize this was a private between you and UT.
You're right I do have a long memory. I watched you develop from asshole to tolerable to gone to back to gone to back. One thing that hasn't changed despite you rocky personal life, is your rock steady faith in the importance of your opinions and distain for anyone who disagrees.
It was a personal misunderstanding between two individuals.
But, good for you, you managed to drain the goodwill out of our mutual baring of emotions by getting on a soapbox with your judgmental attitude. Great job!
I don't remember what the fuck happened in April.
But I am happy to have you back, Flint.
Flint, I get you. Its not easy for people to communicate with you here, but I always find your replies interesting and thought-out. A lot of times I've agreed with you, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I misinterpreted your posts. Especially if you were replying to me
(which probably happened a long time ago). I would have to look at them crooked-like to understand them from your vantage point, not mine.
Keep trying!
I like Flint, a lot. I've never understood the inability to have compassion for his occasional disconnection. We're not all perfect. So it seems to me UT and flint have figured it out. That's pretty much end of story, for this.
Merry Fucking Christmas.

Just a little reminder about NSFW pictures:
Please, some warning. Even if it isn't technically pron, those seeing the image flash on your screen at work or in a public place don't know that.
I really don't need everyone at the local library, or at break at work, thinking I'm looking at some nekkid pics.
Thanks!

No, grav. You haven't. :)

Well sure. Like i said, it's nothing, but if you're accessing the cellar at work or in in public it deserves the common courtesy of a warning. It's always been that way here. Roll your eyes all you want. I'm sure I'm a prude, but I'm one with a job who deserves that tiny bit of courtesy. :right:
Maybe your employer deserves the courtesy of you working.
No. You're right. That's more appropriate in the NSFW thread.

Yes Dear. Shame on me for having an opinion, I'm so ashamed. :o
By the way, that language belongs in the NSFW thread.
You are boring. If i suck up to you, and you subsequently make lecherous remarks to me, and i get all grinny and fawny, will i be cool again? Yeah, fuck you.
I don't want anyone to suck up, especially a self involved cunt like you.
Maybe your employer deserves the courtesy of you working.
My employer allows me breaktime where I can do what I want -including use my computer for leisure- ....but looking at porn is not OK, and I wouldn't want them to think I was doing that even if it was.
How long has it been since you were an actual member of society?
OK stop it the pair of you. Clearly I can't type fast enough to even keep up, but how is this warranted or appropriate?
I don't want anyone to suck up, especially a self involved cunt like you.
My response is totally appropriate to that whiney cunt.
Did she tell you about the time she went all to pieces because her cousin died? But she didn't know his name, his parents names, or what state they lived in.
Are you fucking kidding me? My cousin (name deleted by glatt by request)? Who lived in FL? Who was killed by her husband? Are you kidding me right now? What is wrong witb you? Go to hell. I'm done here.
Ill post more about this later, because your level of cruelty took me to a new level of hurt. Your cruelty needs to be exposed. But right now im reeling. You loser asshole.

Hey UT, is there any truth to the rumor that this thread is going to become pay-per-view?
I think it's a NetFlix Original Series.
OK, so this has been happening for a few months now. Or - I noticed this happening a few months ago. Notice the color is different in the 2nd thread?
I've seen this on 3-4 different threads over the last few months. It seems to stay that way for an indeterminate amount of time. Can anyone explain what is causing it? Curious more than anything.
Same color on my screen.
On second scrutinization, it may be a teensy shade darker, but not by much. And it may just be my eyes.
Not much help am I?
Would the recent changes here on the Cellar affect TinEye searches?
Currently, I right-click on a pic, click Search Image On TinEye. ATM, I can not get any results from pics on the Cellar.
Interesting. I tried searching for one of my bandsaw pics. Did you know I built a bandsaw?
I did it through Google image search and it led me to the Cellar.
But then I realized you said TinEye, so I searched there, and they couldn't find the bandsaw thread. I made a bandsaw!
Folks, folks, we can't lose sight of the real issue here--glatt made a bandsaw!!
I may have read something about that.

I see what you did there...
Were the googly eyes up on April 6th this year? I don't remember seeing them. If not, will there be a belated googly eyes celebration?
Well, I went back and checked the [post=986298]official record for April 6th[/post] and there was no mention of International Googly Eyes Day. How could something of that magnitude fall through the cracks? It's as though we're experiencing an alternative history where [post=954532]this[/post] never happened.
Oh it happened. I was so caught up in the facebook side of things I guess I figured The Cellar would take care of itself. Mybad. It has been decreed that -goiing forward- it will actually be known as Intergalactic Googly Eye Day.
Beest has a picture of the IGD buttons from this year which I am sure he will share with you
I was concerned that such a catastrophic event could happen; so, long, long ago and far, far away ... in the furthest reaches of The Cellar ... preparations were made for just such an occasion. Engage
hyperlink.
In the true spirit of openness and inclusion that Googly eyes embody, from now on it will be InterGalactic Googly Eye day.
I wish the maximum file size for uploaded files was larger. Getting my pictures resized down under 175kb is a bit of a hassle. I wonder if storage space is still as expensive and precious now as it was when that limit was chosen.
Several members of the family wore the IGED buttons at Beest's birthday dinner (coincidentally on the same day) ....and even the server wore one.
Max file size for uploaded attachment images is now 300k.
Thanks UT!

Point well taken!
I shoot for 800x600, and I have the math down to make that happen with fairly high confidence. But the complexity of the picture does sometimes mean that the jpeg compression can't get it under the previous limit and I only had smaller and [SIZE="2"]smaller[/SIZE] and [SIZE="1"]smaller[/SIZE] options.
Max file size for uploaded attachment images is now 300k.
Thank you, sir.
800x600 is a good standard. I don't think it needs to be technologically enforced, but we should all make an effort to stay at 800x600 or smaller unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise.
What about shock collars? Like, you can post them, but you're *encouraged* not to.
Max file size for uploaded attachment images is now 300k.
Thank you Undertoad.
This change made my mass posting of scores of pictures to the SakuraCon thread *much* easier, really, thank you.
A minor point, the actual limit, at least for .jpg files is slightly less than 300k. I don't know if this is an important or useful bit of feedback for you, but now you have it.
Thanks again, big improvement to the usability of the cellar.
That was previously mentioned and probably explained.
Someone has accessed Sundae's account. I wonder who?
She mentioned that she was leaving her brother the password years ago. I don't know why I remembered that, but I bet its somehow searchable, maybe.
ETA: It would be nice if someone in The Cellar administration would contact him and apprise him of invisible mode so it would't be confusing to others, especially people returning from long sabbaticals.
ETAA: [post=724909]Classicman was correct.[/post]

I disagree. Leave the poor guy alone, we can handle it and he might feel awkward enough being here without having someone tell him he's doing it wrong.
It's not a matter of right or wrong. We get peeps coming back after long absences from The Cellar and they may not even know about Sundae's passing. Seeing the account active could be misleading. Those who do know; but, don't recall Sundae's provisions for the account, may wonder if the account was pirated or hacked.
... he might feel awkward enough being here ...
For all we know, he might appreciate the privacy if invisible mode was brought to his attention. Not everyone pays attention to that feature. IIRC, there was another dwellar, who had been here for awhile, who asked why some people didn't show up on the
Currently Active Users list.
I think it would be a kindness all the way around.
I personally don't think this rises to the level of an official moderator action being needed. Anybody can send a friendly pm to that account if they think it's necessary.
Doesn't wildlife normally live next to nature?
Doesn't wildlife normally live next to nature?
I think some wildlife lives in Nature, and some lives in my basement. Which is only natural in a chaos theory kind of a way.
But the wildlife I see
next to nature is usually dead at the edge of an unnatural road.
WTF?
Sundae's mum also has the password to her Cellar account.
any chance of an option to include the pictures when you quote a post containing pictures?
no that's really hard to do
thanks for the quick response :) worth asking....
They have that on another vBulleten site I frequent, but it's a pain in the ass. Somebody will post a couple of pictures and some dialog explaining what he was doing.
Then at least a half dozen people will quote the post, and write "Cool", or "I like that", or maybe "Looking good", but for each of those posts I have to scroll through the original pictures over, and over, and over again. Usually a half dozen times or more. Takes up pages of thread. :smack:

I know that there is a thread called "What is Art?" but the search function will not find it.
How can I find it??
I want to post this:
https://cellar.org/showthread.php?p=993812&posted=1#post993812
This is art.
But how?
Go to Google and type the following:
"what is art" site:cellar.org
actually UT, would it be an easy task for you to put in a new search link adjacent to the existing one on the cellar "tool bar" that performs a google search of cellar.org? Or maybe as an option in the drop down menu under "search?"
It is a little unhelpful that the vBulletin search function doesn't search common words or short words.
If it's a big job, then ignore this.
Go to Google and type the following:
"what is art" site:cellar.org
That's weird. I've always done it bass ackwards, site:cellar.org "what is art".
Works exactly the same.
I'm a little curious as to why I'm seeing this

It seems that if there's a slowdown/delay in processing the post, for whatever reason, the message appears to let you that the content was received and is being processed; so, you won't resubmit it.
Looking pretty. The lawsuit would bring a lot of free publicity too. :D
UT, Firefox on Win7 machine saying your security certificate expired 30 minutes ago, won’t load site.
Happens with the Cellar homepage; but, direct links to other pages (like profiles, BB code list) go right through.
I can override the warning too.
We seem to get recurring spam-like new user registrations for an essay writing service. The service's website URL is listed as the user's homepage in their profile. Does banning the IP address for the website stop reregistration under another user name; or, do they register here from IP addresses not affiliated with their website?
No, it's always a different IP. I've deleted all home pages for anyone with fewer than 10 posts.
And all users that had links in their Interests/Location/etc. and 0 posts have been deleted. This is a problem, because they can't be prevented from using them before they are Confirmed as real posting users.

Yes Im getting that also on a site I am a co-admin on..... They keep posting it and its a pain in the ass!!
I note that the currently active users stats tend to show 275, or thereabouts, guest users.
Is there any way of determining if they are bona fide guests or automated systems with the ultimate intention of generating new spam members.
There never seems to be a shortage of those, does there? :eek:

Thanks for that, UT.
As I type there are 262 'guests'. The number seems remarkably consistent.
About 200 of them are one single poorly-behaved French spider, with addresses like:
ip72.ip-54-36-148.eu
Who knows what they are doing, I sure don't
That turns out to be the "Ahrefs" search bot, which is indexing us continuously for the last several years.
https://ahrefs.com/robotI can't see why they are useful so I've politely told them to go away via the file "/robots.txt". Let's see what happens in 15 minutes' time.
user-agent: AhrefsBot
disallow: /
It's been a while since I looked at who was online, but when I have, the majority of guests are search engine spiders.
Let's see what happens in 15 minutes' time.
OK it may take them longer to pick up the request
In theory search engine spiders are good, right? I mean, everybody wants accurate search results. As long as they're not acting like that one French spider that can't stop checking for new posts every 2 seconds. (Certainly can't identify with that impulse myself. Nope. Not me.)
I... I can't tell any longer
People still come to us via search results, so I guess so. But this engine is Ukrainian (it was just pretending to be French) and I can't tell what it actually does.
Ahrefs has not stopped spidering so we will move to banning their IPs
Earlier I attempted to post a Liveleak video but, despite my best endeavours, couldn't do so.
My impression is that the string of characters/digits after the = symbol are copied, pasted in the reply box, highlighted and then have the Liveleak tags wrapped around them by means of the appropriate button.
I tried that method to no avail. Could someone kindly point me in the right direction, please?
Ta!
actually I think LiveLeak has stopped permitting embedded videos in general, but couldn't find proof of that
I should remove the button

It did occur to me that that might be the case.
I was looking this up in the vBulletin forums and found an old '06 entry that indicates there have always been some restrictions:
Currently there do seem to be limits as to what you can embed. I believe they have to authorise you to embed any videos tagged as "Graphic" and this may involve installing a small token exchange script on your site ...
Then I saw a '15 entry that gave an embed code:
[HTML]<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.liveleak.com/ll_embed?f={param}" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/HTML]
I noticed that the LiveLeak URL in the example code above, as recent as '15, was still using "http" rather than "https" and I'm wondering if the Cellar's embed code has been changed to the latter since both the Cellar and LiveLeak are now secured with "https" URLs. Does that make a difference?
That ain't working. I think the embed policy changed more recently than 2015
secured with "https" URLs. Does that make a difference?
No that should not make a difference

K then this is AVG's problem. It's a bug in their software and they will have to take a look at it. The only links that aren't placed by regular users are the Tapatalk links that are on every page. I think AVG is doing this in error.

I thought that was what you'd done, but I wasn't sure I hadn't just misremembered the original title.
Why did that work?
Yeah, make a thread called "Facebook killing everything", it breaks the Cellar. It turns out, AVG has an irony filter.
But yeah, I have no legit guess on this one.

A considerable time ago, I chose the Cellar vBulletin 3 Style as my default colour scheme.
Starting today, when I click on a link in a notification Email, the page displays in ordinary Cellar.org colours.
Similarly, clicking on a Cellar link within a forum post displays it in 'Sterile For Work' mode.
It's not the end of the world, but it is slightly irritating. I've tried clearing cookies, signing in again and selecting my required style, but the behaviour detailed still persists.
Anyone else experiencing similar?
It's always interesting to hear how others view the cellar.
You read the celler by clicking on emails you get, huh?
It has something to do w/the address. I get stock color scheme sometimes, and go to the address bar, and there's no www there. I put a www in there and my color scheme comes back.
Go figger.

Thread subscriptions/alerts, I guess?
It's the difference between secure (https) and non-secure (http). If you are logged in with one and someone sends you to the other, this will (still) result.

Not exclusively. My main method is to view the main page and head for subjects which catch my eye.
However, I've opted for instant Email notification of any new posts in threads I have subscribed to.
It's very useful for occasions where I have asked a question, like this one.
Crossed with replies from Gravdigr and UT.

What caused all of the posted YouTube videos to be replaced with this message tonight?

Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

I was trying to comment on the skeeter thread, but it won't go. No one can read my words of wisdom.
I've made a number of attempts to post images today, but when previewing find only text details of attachment no, file size etc.

It works for uploaded images. Are you linking to images? Unsecured sites might pose a problem.

Thank you for replying,

No, I'm uploading to the Cellar and, as far as I am aware, doing everything correctly.
I'll have another attempt in a short while but I'm not confident that things will work properly.
Watch and pray!
I've just had another attempt but no luck.
Sherlock Holmes had 'three pipe problems'.
I have three mugs of tea problems. :)
And if that doesn't sort it out...
I suppose UT will have to sort it out. When I got to this page I got a warning, that precedes the URL in the address box, that it's Not Secure even though the address itself starts with https. I found that happens with some other individual threads too. Maybe that has something to do with it, or not.

I think you may be right. Have a look at my post #2406 which raises a similar point.
That problem persists but Gravdigr's solution is a good workaround.
ETA: Re my post #2046.
Not only do I get a changed colour scheme I also have to sign in again if I wish to post.
Adding www (per Gravdigr) produces the correct colour scheme and shows me as being logged in.
I've reset the error logs, can you give it another try, and post right after to say you've done it? Thanks.

Tried to post another but without success.
The problem of clicking on a link within a notification Email also persists, ie wrong colour scheme and log in required.
From here it looks like you are browsing the entire site as http.

In summary it appears to be a Firefox problem.
(i) I've changed my default browser to Edge which has allowed me to upload an image to the Ships thread.
(ii) Re links in Email problem.
Up until a couple of weeks ago, links in notification Emails always opened up the page with the correct colour scheme and no necessity to sign in, even if I didn't already have the Cellar open in my browser. (I don't sign out).
Clicking on one of these links (example below) in Edge opens up the page in the same manner as Firefox once did.
http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=4657&goto=newpost
I'm not that keen on Edge but, if it reduces the hassle factor, I'll stay with it.
Thanks everyone for help and suggestions. :thumb:
Lools to me like the emails are giving you bad links (not bad, per se, but basically the whole internet switched a while back to using exclusively https because it's more secure) and some browsers are automatically fixing them once you're here and click on something new?
Probably never got noticed because you're the only person who gets here via email link instead of navigating to your drug fix directly like the rest of us. :)

Not strictly true, Clod!
I do like to keep a number of threads 'under observation' as it were, so the notification Emails are very handy.
However, I am more often found foraging around the board in general.

Google can be made the default search engine on Edge too. That's what I did and I use Edge all the time without problems.
Forgive me for going over already well trodden ground, but the problem of uploading images persists.
Last night I used Firefox and Chrome without success so this morning I've tried Edge and IE, also with conspicuous lack of success.
The whole thing is rather bizarre. I'm no IT professional, but generally I manage to navigate my way around problems without leaving too much havoc in my wake.

I don't think it's me. However I shall be suitably contrite if it is! :D
Add a letter s to your http link and try again.
Thanks for getting back to me!
I tried adding the 's' to http in front of cellar.org but, unfortunately, that didn't help when I tried a couple of minutes ago.
The image I was attempting to upload is in My Docs.
Please forgive my brevity but I'm in the middle of preparing lunch and just dashed in here for a quick look! :thumb:
ETA
I've just had a further attempt at adding 's' after http and I've been able to post an image!
As noted, I was a bit rushed in my previous attempt so perhaps attention to detail suffered.
BTW, it's Post #247 in the 'Horses' thread.
I think that you have hit the nail on the head, Clod. Many thanks!
Further edit:
I've just looked at my Bookmarks and found that the address for the site lacked the 's'.
I've now amended it to
https://www.cellar.org/ so with luck the problem won't manifest itself again!
Thank you for your forbearance of my ineptitude. :)
OK, looks like it's fixed. so now can we be rude again? :haha:

Flushed with the success of posting an image in the 'Horses' thread I went ahead with a follow up to the Ulysse/Virginia collision in 'Ships'.
I'd collected quite a bit of info and finished off with an upload of the container ship under way.
Except that the upload wouldn't play the game.
At that point I gave up.
Heaven knows what it is going on...
You said that the bookmark lacked the 's' so you amended it. Did you do that by going to the web page
https://www.cellar.org/ and saving it to your bookmarks/favorites again?

You said you couldn't post that ship picture. Did it refuse to take the picture or everything went as normal except the picture didn't show up in the post?
I previewed the entire post but the ship picture didn't show, just the text description, ie the file name, size, etc.
I had several attempts to upload the picture but none appeared in the preview so I abandoned the effort without posting.
In similar circumstances in the past I found that the image wouldn't appear when I actually submitted the post, just the text as above.
Hope that makes sense. It's early!

Back on my PC now. I deleted the Cellar bookmark and re-instated it with the https version.
I've tried another image upload and this is what I get on the preview:

Carruthers,
There's a seldom used feature of the Cellar that may help you until you can get your post preview fully working again. I have a Social Group under my sockpuppet name UCB4U. As UCB4U, I'm sending you an invitation to join the Group. When you accept the invitation I'll activate it and you'll be able to post there. I've already created a thread for you:
https://cellar.org/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=14
You can copy what you have in your preview box and post it in that thread to see it without littering the forums. When you're done editing, you can copy it and post it in the forums and then delete it in the Social Group thread as you wish.
Try it. If it works for you, you're welcome to use it indefinitely. If you prefer, you can also create your own Social Group for that purpose.
If you're not happy with how a post came out you can always delete it.

You can copy what you have in your preview box and post it in that thread to see it without littering the forums. When you're done editing, you can copy it and post it in the forums and then delete it in the Social Group thread as you wish.
Try it. If it works for you, you're welcome to use it indefinitely. If you prefer, you can also create your own Social Group for that purpose.
Many thanks. That'll be a handy addition to the armoury!
If you're not happy with how a post came out you can always delete it.
Good point!
Thank you, Gentlemen. :thumb:

Yeah, no.
Everyone who's logged-in will see the deletions. That's distracting if done on a regular basis which is why I suggested the Social Groups route.
XoB, former moderator, advocating litterbugs. :headshake
See, they don't take that much room and only moderators can read them.
They're eyesores. The tourists will be flocking away in droves.
BTW, you shouldn't have said all those nasty things about tw in that post you deleted.
No, they show the poster is thoughtful, trying to be clear, and open to change.
That's editing, not deleting.
I took a screen shot of that post before you deleted it. I can refrain from showing it...for a price; or, I can show it to an interested party who was the subject of that post...for a price.

Why should people click on the FAQ and register links "above" (toolbar) when the links are in the Welcome paragraph?
Is there a prize involved? Inquiring minds want to know.
Think of how rich and/or famous you could be if you put all that free time to productive endeavors. :haha:
Looking for someone else to do IOTD huh?

Ah man!!
Where's Sheriff Bart? This is his big chance to say "Howdy stranger."
Man. My posts are taking forever and a day to show up in the thread.
Let me see
It was probably a temporary thing - there's no delay right now, but sometimes we do get hit with a search engine spider trying to crawl the entire site, that slows us down.
Interested in adding some holiday color to the tagline box?
You could replace this [ATTACH]69170[/ATTACH] with this [ATTACH]69171[/ATTACH].
It's hard to find anything that shows up well at that size. After several flops with other nice looking (regularly sized) animated GIFs, I cropped and reduced this one. It isn't half bad. I left it at the original speed; but, I can change the speed if desired. Red, green and blue happen to be my faves in light strings.
It is nice. Shall we put it to a vote or just get a few general yay-or-nay posts?
I should add, I don't know if I can change the icon out in JUST the tagline... will have to check on that....
I can. (It's been about a decade since I last touched that bit.)
If it can be done, a few opinions will do to see if there's any interest. Even if there initially is, it can still be changed back if someone later says bah, humbug.
I have some nice coloured lights somewhere if I can find them we used to use years ago on this VBB site im a co-admin on..... Would be nice putting those here!
It's your site do what you want.
Dude's 'lights' are prolly candles.
But even if his candles burned out long ago, his legend never did. That's why he's An Awesome Dude.
That's why he's An Awesome Dude.
One man's opinion.
Well, two, counting you.
He recently started five threads in a row in a single forum. Mind you, he didn't just reply to five threads in a row...he started them. Your inner child must find that awesome. Perhaps now we're up to Two And A Half Men. :D
Slim pickin's for a New Year's Cellar tag line gif. Even "2020" becomes too small to be readily legible, let alone "Happy New Year." So, I looked for a flashing "20" gif that worked well; but, nowhere to be found. I ended up cropping a flashing "2020" down to 2 digits and resizing. It gets the message across: [ATTACH]69434[/ATTACH]; but, we can always stay with the holiday lights thru New Year's Day.
It looks a bit confusing in place, but maybe that's a plus for us
I didn't want to distract from the tag line by exceeding the original 15x15 gif pixel size.
ETA: Yeah, it could be confusing with this being The Cellar's 30th year. Oh well, it's just for a few days.
I just found a B&W "2020" gif that was uploaded only 3 days ago. I cropped and reduced it to 15 pixels square. It's not quite as legible; but, might be less confusing. FWIW: [ATTACH]69445[/ATTACH] Up to you.
done and done, thank you sir
Well now I don't want to go back to that original folder icon. Got anything for January?
Not right off hand. We'll have to go back to the folder for now. I'll keep an eye out for something relevant, like The Cellar's 30th. Maybe I'll come across an extraordinary animation. B&W appears to suit the tag line best. We'll see what's out there.
Something understated that plays off the highlighted "established 1990" in the banner and gives everyone a glimpse of the year they joined. The folder icon is 15x15. This is necessarily wider. One is 15px in height, the other 18px which I find easier on the eyes (it keeps the numbers about the same size, despite the yellow border, as the text in the tag line box). Maybe save it for a rainy day:

How do I start a youtube clip at a certain point? I thought it was something like adding &start=50s after the video number but that didn't work.
Please and thanks
This might help.

Can't create a link due to being on a superannuated iPad at present.

Looking at Who's Online: 30 pages of Guest - Viewing Member List.
I don't remember sending out invitations. Who dunnit?
There were enough of them to carry this place away.
What are we going to do? We have no one to change the Cellar tag line. A crisis is looming. Oh, the [strike]humanity[/strike] monotony!
where's that quote about how to join the cellar without pissing people off?
where's that quote about how to join the cellar without pissing people off?
The Cellar is like an electronic tavern. Behave as you might at a real-life tavern. Don't barge in and interrupt every table in the place. Walk in and sit down, wait for something you know about and politely put in your two cents.
https://cellar.org/faq.phpIs this the official Dude111 fan club site?
That would be awesome.
