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.

Some people even manage to make theirs funny and/or original.....

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.

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 ;)

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.

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!

Try Chat. Dat be almost live?

Use Google and this:

http://www.physicalgeography.net/fun...orld_time2.gif

: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

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:

vBulletin Message
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.

Quote:

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.
http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=1305

I can't see what it says, it says I don't have permission. :D

lol - you locked yourself out too.

It's a thread about whether to ban Marichiko or not.

Yeah, but then he burned a message about it onto his own brain so it's okay.

(is anyone going to even get that? Zaphod?)
