Did @meno do anything?
Is everyone else now seeing all the posts in this thread the way I am?
How can I get it to stop? It is annoying!
Did @meno do anything?
It just makes a link to my profile page. There’s really no point
Is everyone else now seeing all the posts in this thread the way I am?
Sometimes I wonder if other people see things the same way I do.
Then my brain starts to hurt so I stop thinking about it
This is not the first time this thread got messed up. Seems like when too much code is used, things start to get weird (hence one of the purposes of this thread.)

You mean it’s weird for you too and it’s NOT just me??!! I’m so happy to hear that! After Meno’s post, I thought it was just me and that I was the weird one!
Does ending the list help?

It’s actually your post that did it. You created a list item but didn’t end it. This system has all the posts listed and styled a certain way. Because you didn’t end your list item, and since this system doesn’t check for that, you ruined the list hierarchy that the style page depends on.
HaLeivi,
On behalf of everyone here, Thank you
What’s the word again, when you feel so proud and glad that you’re finally noticed? Oh, I got it: I’m humbled!
“It’s actually your post that did it.”
I knew that my post did it (by accident) – I just wasn’t sure if it did it for just me or for everyone.
I also had tried fixing it, but I guess I didn’t know how. Thank you very much for fixing it!!!
Yeah! Thanks so much, Mod 25!!! 🙂
Testing links:
how do you do this?I don’t remember
Testing again, are quotes necessary inside

PSA: How to post links without blocking the post below yours 📢
Testing
Does that work?
Apparently not!
What’s wrong?
What do you mean? You blocked two posts. Oh – was that your point? Did you mean “what if I put TWO blank posts instead?”
I thought your second one wasn’t blank (sometimes they show up for a second, and I thought that one did, and that it wasn’t blank).
I blocked one post, which only said “testing”.
I think this is an eitzah, without needing to be a computer programmer.
Put the link after whatever you want to say in the post, then send a blank (or meaningless) post to be blocked. The following post should be visible.
I wish they would just fix this mishugas, but meanwhile, I think this works without any fancy tags.
I think it’s a great idea! But I think we need two blank posts, and posters should write in the original post that the next two are blank, so the readers don’t get frustrated and think that there really are blocked posts.
Shkoyach!
DY – I see 3 posts in a row from you. The first is the one with the link, and the second TWO are blocked by the link. You don’t see that? The linked one is listed as: 7:34, and the blocked ones are: 7:34 and 7:35.
When you wrote “Apparently not”, what were you responding to?
.
Yes, when editing, it gave me the option to log the edit, and give the reason.
I had written s instead of a.
Now your blank post was moderated before the link, so it didn’t help. Also, the link covers two posts, and you only put one blank post.
I know that because I saw your post (the first one under the link) for a milli-second since it was the last post moderated. But it really is blocked.
The one under it (second one under the link) hasn’t been moderated yet, but it is also blocked.
I mean, “not the last post”
and by the way, now it is completely blocked and I can’t even see if for a milli-second since it’s the last post.
I was responding to your third post. There was a question there that I saw for a second before it got blocked.
I think if the blocked post is the last post that was moderated, when you click on the time of the last post on the main page, you see if for a milli-second before it gets blocked.(afterwards when you wrote that nothing was blocked, I thought that maybe I was remembering wrong and I hadn’t seen anything. But I must have seen something, because I remember now that “apparently not” was in response to something. I think you wrote, “does that work?”. But I guess you didn’t realize it was blocked since I responded to it.).
Lol. The mod(s) approved my post in the wrong order, so it didn’t work this time.
I had written, “Yes, when editing, it gave me the option to log the edit, and give the reason.
I had written s instead of a.”
look – can’t you see now how two posts are blocked (actually one and a half, but that’s just because mine is long)?
And they did backwards order again, so it’s my post that is blocked even though it should have been yours 🙁Now your blank post was moderated before the link, so it didn’t help. Also, the link covers two posts, and you only put one blank post.
I know that because I saw your post (the first one under the link) for a milli-second since it was the last post moderated. But it really is blocked.
The one under it (second one under the link) hasn’t been moderated yet, but it is also blocked.
That entire post is visible to me.
I guess it depends on the browser, so two posts it is.
In all the time it took to figure this out, you probably could’ve become a computer programmer.
Also, what will happen when/if they fix the issue with links blocking posts below them? We’ll be left with a whole bunch of empty posts.
I have an idea. Maybe they should make it so when you post a link it blocks the post ABOVE yours.
“entire post is visible to me.
I guess it depends on the browser, so two posts it is.”That’s interesting – I didn’t realize that different people can be seeing different things. I couldn’t understand why you didn’t realize that 2 posts were blocked.
We still are left with the problem that posts often go up in backwards order. I think this is more likely to happen when the second post is smaller and needs less moderation (which is usually the case with a blank post).
The only way to avoid that is to keep checking to see when your post went up, and as soon as it goes up, make sure to quickly post two blank posts. But then, you still have a problem because another poster might post meanwhile, so that won’t help.
“I have an idea. Maybe they should make it so when you post a link it blocks the post ABOVE yours.”
That would solve the problem of posts going up in backwards order. But, if the posts are posted in the correct order and someone hadn’t yet read the post above yours and wants to read it, you still have a problem.Possible solutions:
1. Whenever you post a link, first repost the post above yours.
2. Post the blank post first and assume that it will go up first since it’s blank and doesn’t need too much moderation.I know that neither of these solutions would solve your problem Meno, but personally, I don’t think that’s such a bigger problem. The other problem is certainly bigger.
The benefit of being able to block the post above yours is that it’s fun
only if you think it’s fun to be mean.
I know your name is “Meno”, but I never thought of you as the mean type. : )
In fact I only just realized that your name is a homonym for meano.
Yes, I like it.
