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

You guys are too nice.

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.

You have to turn on notification in your User CP.

Did you see the beautiful photo of the sea? That was taken by a friend of mine.

Hello, Toad.

Can we get a crone smilie or facsimilie of a crone smilie?

as an Elder Stateswoman, I feel the need for this thing.

Thank you for your consideration,

Brianna

I had a look and they don't make such things.

How 'bout this sassy old lady?

Bri your opinoin?

I like her!

I am aspiring to that hair-do at this very moment!

I quit highlighting my tresses (now they've grown back to shoulder length) and I am GOING GREY LIKE AN OLD MARE!

soon I'll get the granny glasses!

It is done. :crone:

thanks, Undertoad!

YOU ROCK!!

How do I make a gif work?

Sometimes it seems like they just work, and other times I just get a stagnant image.

tia!

Are you talking about posting a gif, or looking at one already posted?

I got it. I think I hotlinked. I've NEVER done that illegal hotlink. But I just kept messing around until my gif moved.

So spank me. Fitting end to a perfect week. ;)

59 people are looking at something in nothingland, but I don't know which thread is so popular!

GLATT!!!!!

OK, 51 guests looking at http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=21645

Bowling? *shrugs* I just always wonder when there's a tour bus in a thread.

What did I do?

:lol:

I was gonna make you figure it out, Mr Mod, but then I realized I could go to "who's online" to see what all the people in Nothingland were looking at.

I just found it odd. Bowling.

Fuck it, Dude.

Hi. I don't really have a question, I am just posting so I can confirm I'm not a spammer.

So, here it goes: I'm not a spammer.

That's exactly what a spammer would say ...

Hiya Cotillion :welcome: don't mind me, we're all mad here. Some more than others.

So ... what brings you here?

Way to go Zen scare the crap out of em right off the bat ;)

Why is there a 30-second minimum time required between posts, even between different threads?

So that you will stop spamming us, you big spammer!

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 here.

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.

Welcome fellow "control freak"/observer. :)
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.

W T F?.......:3_eyes:

looks like spam/virus to me.

Disregard the "->webhosting" thing, that's just an ad.

I was curious why the Cellah might be down at such an odd time.

That's a screen grab from DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com. They can tell you if the reason you cannot connect to a site is on the site's end or your end. Is it just you, or is it everybody?

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

beep beep beep

Hmm...mine says "crackle...crunch...bumb....@#$%!!!!"

Is this a new cookie file, or have I actually come across one that I've never seen in almost 8 years?

he he B

...That took me a minute, but I think you're saying "Option B," right? Sweet!

Yeah there haven't been any changes to the cookie table in a long time. In the olden olden days, people would suggest new cookies, but I don't think most people see 'em these days.

The last one I remember being added was SteveDallas talking about how no rational view of heaven involves grass that needs mowing. How long ago was that? I'm feeling very old recently.

I see them, I just can't add to their random appeal. It makes my year if I make the Hall of Fame!

The Too big or too small thread should have a NSFW warning.

Agreed.

Oh, and I've been wanting to mention: when you go to search now you can search for titles or posts right from the first box. You used to have to go to advanced search to search for thread titles. Thanks Tony.

done

But I hain't done nothing!

Really? Well, you did used to have to go to advanced search. I swears it! :)

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.

wut clod sed

fwiw..... doesn't work in general browse mode -title is too long for the nsfw to show before you click the link and the pic is right there.

Why do I have to search for the word "pivo" (because that's the only word I remember that is specific to that thread) when I want to find the "Meanwhile In..." thread?

Why will the search only recognize words with between 4-8 letters?
