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.http://cellar.org/attachment.php?att...3&d=1181928813 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. http://cellar.org/attachment.php?att...3&d=1170178840 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.
|
Thank you.
|
The Tip Jar.
Why does it only take pay pal? 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.

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! http://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/20...ebanon0109.jpg |
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?__:confused:__Would that actually be purkers?__: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

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. |
Thank you sir.
|
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?

*snicker*

dumbass. are you really going to stick with this?
|
quit stalking me!

Your problem is you just don't fit into the clique, newb. *kicks LJ outta the treehouse*
