moish: that’s an awesome idea!
mods: take notes!
May 22, 2009 1:39 am at 1:39 am #1225178Pashuteh YidMemberHave mentioned a few times that would be good to have a method of looking at previous topics. Very hard to find ones that are no longer on front CR page.
May 22, 2009 1:00 pm at 1:00 pm #1225179tzippiMemberMaybe this should go under a moderator thread but not sure which one. It seems there are very different criteria for posts getting in in the CR and on the homepage. What are the new criteria? For some reason none of my posts have gotten in on the homepage over the last few weeks and you all know I’M the original harmless fuzzball.
May 27, 2009 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #1225180noitallmrParticipantWow cool- is this edit thing by every post new? Or am I living in the Dark Ages???
(or both 😉
May 27, 2009 8:53 pm at 8:53 pm #1225181mepalMemberif not ames, its cloudy.
May 27, 2009 9:09 pm at 9:09 pm #1225182JewessMemberAnd I thought it rains most of the time in the UK. How gloomy.
May 27, 2009 11:40 pm at 11:40 pm #1225183squeakParticipantUh uh. The sun never sets on the British Empire, hence it is never dark in the U.K.
The reason for this is that G-d does not trust them in the dark.
May 28, 2009 12:24 am at 12:24 am #1225184noitallmrParticipantHey woah…slow down everyone.
Ok this aint exactly Florida and Miami but it’s not raining all day over here!
And if you don’t like the weather here then just wait a minute and you can expect an immediate change!!!
And what dya mean by always dark in the U.K???
Reminds me of the old corny joke:
Why was it called the Dark Age?
Because it was full of nights (knights!)
Sorry couldn’t resist…
May 28, 2009 4:15 am at 4:15 am #1225185JaxMembernoitallmr: come to Flatbush, it’s always stunning weather hear! 😉
May 28, 2009 5:55 am at 5:55 am #1225186JaxMembernoitallmr: the edit button has been added a while ago! you have 5min from the time you hit send to do an edit! that only happens on a fast modding time, when posts get through fast!
May 28, 2009 1:00 pm at 1:00 pm #1225187noitallmrParticipantYa know what Jax? I might take up your offer!
But then again weather isn’t everything!!!
May 28, 2009 2:50 pm at 2:50 pm #1225188noitallmrParticipantThanks ames…so whats the weather really like down there???
And is there any other reason why I should wanna move to the U.S?
May 28, 2009 2:54 pm at 2:54 pm #1225189JewessMemberThere’s every reason why anybody would want to live in the U.S. We have the best kosher pizza and ummm, I guess that’s all. But that should be enough reason(s).
May 28, 2009 4:04 pm at 4:04 pm #1225190mepalMemberames, are you going through some kind of depression? I’d say its more sunny here than what you seem to claim 😉
May 28, 2009 7:53 pm at 7:53 pm #1225191JaxMembernoitallmr: now ames is lying! it’s really nice here in the U.S.A.! & what more of a reason do you need to come, than your pal me!?!
May 28, 2009 9:08 pm at 9:08 pm #1225192kapustaParticipantnoitallmr: come to Flatbush, it’s always stunning weather hear! 😉
Jax, you listen to the weather? 😉
May 31, 2009 12:22 am at 12:22 am #1225193noitallmrParticipant“& what more of a reason do you need to come, than your pal me!?! “
Hey you get me there brother!!!
Nothing more to negotiate about- I’m on my way!!!
But how can I know where you live (no passing info remember???)
May 31, 2009 12:25 am at 12:25 am #1225194noitallmrParticipantGetting back on subject- It would be great to have a page with a list of members (that you can search as well) with a green dot next to whose signed in!!! Which would also eliminate the need for the thread…
May 31, 2009 2:55 am at 2:55 am #1225195May 31, 2009 3:43 am at 3:43 am #1225196JaxMembernoitallmr: awesome, that’s too cool your on your way! i just can’t wait! don’t worry about not knowing where i live! i’ll b waiting at the airport for ya, just hold up a sign that says ”NOITALLMR”! 😉
kapusta: then the green light would stay green when signed in! his idea his takin from the way the gmail account works! it is a great idea what he said!
May 31, 2009 5:59 am at 5:59 am #1225198kapustaParticipantJax, I meant what if I’m signed in for 3 months but I’m not near my computer so I would still appear as signed in but I wouldn’t actually be here. Maybe there could be like signed in and posting…
May 31, 2009 6:17 am at 6:17 am #1225199JaxMemberkapusta: signed in for 3months?! well, in the gmail account emails, the way it works is, that you get to see who on your email list is currently signed in with a green light next to their name! so here if your signed in to post, then it would be cool to have a feature to see who else is signed in with a green light near there sn!
May 31, 2009 6:21 am at 6:21 am #1225200kapustaParticipantJax, yea, yahoo has something similar, but on YW you can stay signed in forever without actually being here. Do you get what I mean?
May 31, 2009 6:50 am at 6:50 am #1225201JaxMemberkapusta: yeah, but you would never shut your computer down your saying?!
May 31, 2009 7:07 am at 7:07 am #1225202May 31, 2009 7:10 am at 7:10 am #1225203JaxMemberkapusta: but once you turn off your computer, then your off though!
May 31, 2009 7:14 am at 7:14 am #1225204kapustaParticipantJax, really? I used to stay signed in because I never knew my password.
May 31, 2009 7:18 am at 7:18 am #1225205JaxMemberkapusta: that’s the way my computer works! i don’t know my password even, firefox memorized it & it logs in when i turn on YWN! & i have my password saved in my email!
May 31, 2009 7:28 am at 7:28 am #1225206kapustaParticipantI just remember it, and when I try logging into my email (my password also starts with a k, not kapusta, something else) and I put in my email and for the password I start putting in kapusta and I have to stop myself in the middle. lol
May 31, 2009 7:30 am at 7:30 am #1225207JaxMemberkapusta: that’s pretty funny! 😉
May 31, 2009 10:38 am at 10:38 am #1225208noitallmrParticipantHey Jax was literally on the floor when I read your post- your too kind man. And you really don’t need that sign saying “noitallmr” I’ll just look for your huge black party Limo that you hired for the occasion!!!
And yeah your right about me getting the green light idea from gmail but I think it would be really cool to apply it to YW.
And Kapusta- if you turn your pc off then on again, just because it signs in automatically it doesn’t mean that you’ve been signed in the whole time!!!
May 31, 2009 3:00 pm at 3:00 pm #1225209EarlyBirdMemberWhat we need is a green light to know when a moderator is on.
May 31, 2009 3:35 pm at 3:35 pm #1225210A600KiloBearParticipantBS”D
The only technical improvements I can think of are:
1) An ignore feature so we can ignore pesky posters.
2) A way of mods being able to let us know in private that a post needs to be edited before it can be approved.
These are quite minor.
May 31, 2009 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #1225211kapustaParticipantnoitall, I dont think it signed in automatically, I think it never signed out.
mods, could you help me here?
May 31, 2009 6:07 pm at 6:07 pm #1225212YW Moderator-39MemberIt sounds like you saved your password and your browser signs you in automatically. There should be a “recover password” function if you happen to get logged out for some reason or another
May 31, 2009 6:38 pm at 6:38 pm #1225213kapustaParticipantlet me clarify. my password is not saved and I log in/out every time I come. (possibly before the Cr was around) I just stayed logged in the entire time. no one knows what I’m talking about?
May 31, 2009 6:47 pm at 6:47 pm #1225214JaxMembernoitallmr: ha! black party limo it is then!
May 31, 2009 6:56 pm at 6:56 pm #1225216AnonymousInactiveKapusta
A brief note here. When you go to a site on your computer, and enter a username/password, the computer saves this in something called a ‘cookie’ file – this is so that when you return to the same site, you will not need to re-enter the details.
Sites like Amazon use this as well to keep tracks on your shopping basket etc.
This therefore would be why you find that you do not need to enter your username/password when you come to the CR.
There are various ways of disabling this
Hope that this helps explain things 🙂
May 31, 2009 6:58 pm at 6:58 pm #1225217kapustaParticipantmy SN is saved, as it is on every site, but I log in every time, I come to the CR, I remember at one point just staying signed in, I know yahoo offers an option with email to stay signed in for two weeks unless you sign out, its similar to that. clearer now?
May 31, 2009 7:28 pm at 7:28 pm #1225218JaxMemberkapusta: wow you got the honor of getting mod81 to speak! today must be your lucky day! 😉
May 31, 2009 7:38 pm at 7:38 pm #1225219kapustaParticipantI should try my luck at lottery now. 😉
but now he stopped modding… or whoever it was… ;(
May 31, 2009 7:57 pm at 7:57 pm #1225220noitallmrParticipantJax- took the words outa my mouth!
And Kapusta- have good ol’ noitallmr in mind when you win that jackpot!
May 31, 2009 8:01 pm at 8:01 pm #1225221kapustaParticipantof course I will, just meet me with your black limo (what was it exactly?) in Liverpool when I come to drop off the winnings personally.
May 31, 2009 8:03 pm at 8:03 pm #1225222AnonymousInactiveWho said that I stopped modd’ing? 😉
May 31, 2009 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm #1225224JaxMembernoitallmr: boy i happy you made this great come back! this place is full of action now!
kapusta: do try the lotto! speaking with a new mod is a rear honor!
May 31, 2009 9:54 pm at 9:54 pm #1225225kapustaParticipantJax, gotta wait till my birthday… unless you wanna get it and send it over… ;(
May 31, 2009 10:41 pm at 10:41 pm #1225226JaxMemberkapusta: i’ll Fed Ex you a lotto ticket to your IP address! 😉
May 31, 2009 11:43 pm at 11:43 pm #1225227noitallmrParticipant“noitallmr: boy i happy you made this great come back! this place is full of action now!”
Thanks Jax good to see you around too- this is a kinda temporary come-back till Wednesday because I happen not to be too busy the next few days so will try and make the most of things- stick around!!!
kapusta: You don’t want to meet me with that kind of cash in Liverpool of all places- it’ll be nicked in the airport!!! (ask jax all about it…or mod39…)
