    Yeah, you can do it using quotes, but it's easier to use the button. Let's not confuse @Wosret with too many options. :)

    The eye is an interesting one. You can hide stuff and reveal it later. I see opportunities for mischief...

    (It's on the menu, Wos, the one there right in front of you when you post. I'm starting to find it unsurprising you never noticed Saphsin :P )
  • Welcome PF members!
    Who's this Saphsin guy? I don't recall him from the old PFWosret

    By the way if you want to do the @ thing, you have to use the special one next to the eye @Wosret otherwise no link.
  • Welcome PF members!
    Saphsin is Saphsin.
  • Welcome PF members!

    Not to worry, we know you're on side. :)

    I never thought I'd say this, but go @Hanover ! 8-)
  • New Owner Announcement at PF
    No, the chloroform hankie seems to have done the trick.
  • Welcome PF members!
    We're here to stay, Saphsin.
  • New Owner Announcement at PF
    Yes, I'm making a distinction now though because Nik seems to be saying and doing all the right things over there (not that I trust him at all) while Porat is kindly doing his best to drive people out of his hands and into our warm embrace.
  • New Owner Announcement at PF
    Apparently, Borat didn't know the site was hacked before when I asked him about user info security.Thorongil

    I saw that. But it wasn't Porat who replied to you. It was the other guy, Nik. He seems to be more savvy in general.
  • Do we really have to have "likes"?
    The members list defaults to ordering by likes so it's effectively a leaderboardYahadreas

    We need to fix that default. It is naff.
  • Things at the old place have changed
    He's just deleting whatever he feels like, Sap, and tagging on whatever stated reason he feels like. So, yes, it does set a precedent. We used to need real reasons to delete posts at PF, and those reasons had to be stated accurately.
  • New Owner Announcement at PF
    A clear case of why it's more advisable to judge people by their actions rather than their words.

    Can anyone still get into the dumpster and see the posts?Sir2u

    I can see them. I don't know of any restrictions about looking in there.
  • New Owner Announcement at PF
    Anyway, we've moved on. Let's make this thing work.Hanover

    I second the motion. This is home now.
  • Welcome PF members!
    I agree. And I just started a thread on this.
  • What draws people to an online forum anyway?
    Oh, yeah, sorry @badenHanover

    It doesn't work unless you get the capitalization right. Can someone else be @Hanover's techie babysitter, please?

    Human, you remind me of The Great Whatever. Is that you?Yahadreas

    I was thinking the same thing. Let's not spoil the suspense though. We'll know soon enough when Banno joins up and there's a cat fight.
  • Question about costs and donations
    If jamalrob decides to continue this site, I don't think it would be acceptable for him to ever have to put out money for it.Mongrel

    Also, I'm here for Baden, especially with his new avatar. It sort of gets me going.Hanover

    If you make that @Baden, I'll know quicker when you're salivating over me. (It's the curly one to the left of the eye.)
  • The Future of the Human Race
    Seeing as the question presumes these humans will exist, it doesn't seem much different to asking whether or not we care about the fate of present human beings we don't know and whose lives don't intersect with ours in any way. Suppose there is a tribe of humans in a rain forest somewhere we discover by satellite photography but we have no contact with. Do we care what happens to them? Does it matter how out actions affect them? I would say sure, why not? Same goes for future human beings.

    And is optimism aligned with such a concern, whereas pessimism is associated with a lack of it—or vice versa?jamalrob

    I don't see this as being relevant unless the pessimism involves presuming we turn into a race of worthless individuals undeserving of pity.
  • Missing features, bugs, questions about how to do stuff
    You're an admin over there. Why don't you just unban everyone and let the inmates run free?Hanover

    I'm very open to suggestions like this. I even thought about banning Porat. Just don't tell un.

    We also don't want to put anyone in the position of having to beg, borrow, or steal when things get tough, so let's come up with a way to assure financial security..Hanover

    Agreed. This is what we should have been talking about with Paul when he was in trouble. Subscription seems the best bet for me. A dollar or two each a month, which won't break any of us, and we can keep this place ad free and ticking over fine.
  • Welcome PF members!
    Overall, I like the look, and the lack of wideness doesn't bother me. White has it's pluses but it might be a bit bright. Maybe experiment a bit and see what people think.
  • What draws people to an online forum anyway?
    What draws me is the posters. And right now we have many of the highest quality posters in PF all in the one spot. Oh, and we have @Hanover too. :P
  • Missing features, bugs, questions about how to do stuff
    Mobile version looks good, but quoting isn't working for me. Anyone know how?
  • Missing features, bugs, questions about how to do stuff
    we should get KwalishKid back tooBenkei

    Yes. Hell, get TGW over here too.

    I personally don't think anything is wrong with advertisement generating some income for this site. I think a skyscraper add on the left or right would work fine without interfering with the user experience.Benkei

    No way. That's just what we're trying to get away from here. The donations route should be fine. At $49 a month, we only need to pay a couple of bucks each per month to cover the fees. By the time we need to expand and pay more, we'll have more members to pay it.

    Because technically I'm an idiotHanover

    If ever a "Wiser words" thread were called for...

    Made it!Mayor of Simpleton

    Welcome, MOS!

    t actually appears when you hover over someone's post, not just on that specific space. And you quote by selecting the text at which point a quote button will appear near the selected text.Benkei

    Cool...
  • Welcome PF members!
    If you don't want to be called Gerald, why have you still got a big stupid looking "G" for an avatar?
  • Help me test
    Cool, a few bucks each a month would be well worth it.
