I would like to request you drop the member numbers, which don't seem to have an order, rhyme, or reason, and replace them with our registration dates. Thank you.

no replace them with out yellow stars

While I think some of the changes are nonsensical, like rating the members (which I will have no part of) I kinda like the Member Number deal. Of course, seeing as how my number is 421 rather than 19,786, I'm a little biased on this issue.

Gorgonzola said he would fix the Senior/Elite status soon, so that's not an issue really.

The yellow stars? Yeah, I'd like to see those back as well.

But after being here ALL DAY (it's a rainy miserable day here in New Hampshire and I have a cold) the boards seem awful slow. Maybe my cable connection is slow today on account of rain, but still....

I think the main problem people seem to be having is not being thought of on 'equal terms', that somehow a lower number (membership) is better than a higher number.

Here in New Hampshire, vanity plates are huge, as are license plates with low numbers...seems to be a good analogy here.

But if the boards stay alive during peak periods, like when OS X is updated) then I'm all for the changes..

Hey Think,

Thought you were dead or worse, forced to drink some of your own coffee!!!!!

God they've done a wonderful job of turning MacNN into a sucky P.O.S.!

The bird is back!

P.O.S. ?

a "preview message" option would be nice too

Well spank my ass and call me Sally! Look at what the cat dragged in...

Feathers · Jun 3, 2001, 08:14 PM

Hello Sally! (You can do the spanking yourself).

And as for the cat, he's gonna be eating his sardines through a straw for quite a while. This bird throws a mean left flipper!

Back to the point. Didn't the thread list tell you who the last person to post in a thread? I would like that feature back also. Thank you.

P.S. Feathers, bite me. Thank you.

Feathers · Jun 3, 2001, 08:27 PM

No, it didn't say who posted last. I too would like that back even at the risk of agreeing with Think.
Of course, it's so rare that he's right that we should be nice to him when he is.

brainloop please get rid of that ridiculously large image signature.

Hehe. Wouldn't I love to, man. Call Infopop and yell at them ... all of UBB 6 revolves around member number. We should be able to cut them from displaying with every post though.

We're working on it.
