I think it's a bit scary as to my own addicting with these forums, specificly the lounge. I checked every 5-6 minutes to see when the 10 minutes would be up.

I do think it was a bit more than 10 minutes, tho.

dp...sorry!!

Sorry. I promise I didn't do it on purpose. I thought I hit it just one but it seems I got a DP. Technical glitch perchance?

bstone · Oct 17, 2006, 04:03 AM

Also, it keeps saying:

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 29 seconds.

....but I promise I haven't tried to post anything in MANY minutes.

bstone · Oct 17, 2006, 04:04 AM

Doing it again. I promise I am not posting the same thing over and over. Seems all my posts are being duplicated.

What is that ugly multi-quote button for?

It's a bit of added loveliness for vBulletin Windows users who don't know any better. If this were a Windows forum, you'd be going on about what a great new look it brings to the page. I'm sure it'll get edited out.

Andy8 · Oct 17, 2006, 05:26 AM

It is just part of the 3.6.2 upgrade icon set, I guess the macnn crew have to whip a few new icons to match the current style we are all used to, unless a major facelift is upon us.

Dakar² · Oct 17, 2006, 08:17 AM

Well what you don't understand is the administrators did their work to the essential MacNN severs from a chamber that blocks time (or chronitons). This meant that, while they did 10 minutes of work (from their perspective), 5,000 fat bald people panicked because they couldn't snipe each other over the internet for almost 12 hours.

Not for me. Maybe I'm just too dumb to figure it out...

Dark Helmet · Oct 17, 2006, 01:41 PM

I'm actually quite pleased with what I was able to accomplish in only 10 minutes.

5 hours of work, 2 loads of laundry, shower and 8 hours sleep.

mitchell_pgh · Oct 17, 2006, 03:29 PM

I'm hating the new forum design... it's so OS 10.2... we should just go back to the pre- 10/17/2006 forum design.

Dark Helmet · Oct 17, 2006, 03:30 PM

Ya it is almost criminal how smoothly the new

fits in with the other buttons design and size wise.

bstone · Oct 17, 2006, 03:39 PM

The new quote button is large, out of place and simply weird. On a seperate note, has anyone else noticed how the forums have gained sentience? vmarks started telling me about it before he suddenly disappeared.

Demonhood · Oct 17, 2006, 04:49 PM

geez guys. i enabled the multi-reply but haven't gotten rid of the default icon. and i need to update a few more things for quickreply to work properly. so..um...patience.

Doofy · Oct 17, 2006, 05:45 PM

What the bleedin' 'eck is this multi-reply thing anyways?

And what's this "patience" thing DH mentions?

Kerrigan · Oct 17, 2006, 05:59 PM

I don't like how it shows the thread starter under the thread and to the right of it.

Demonhood · Oct 17, 2006, 06:02 PM

i don't know what you're talking about.

Kerrigan · Oct 17, 2006, 06:09 PM

Thanks for all the work you're doing

That's a new hampstor feature - kind of like slow-motion

good to see the hamster is back in action. it made for a very boring work day yesterday.

Andy8 · Oct 17, 2006, 07:19 PM

MM-o4 - What is with your site forcing safari full width?

MM-o4 · Oct 17, 2006, 07:22 PM

muhahaha, I control your browser.

yeah, I know I hate it on pages to. I will delete next revision.

Thanks for give it a look but

brapper · Oct 17, 2006, 07:41 PM

Yo what the eff! How come I can't close the window your page loads in?

That's crap.

rickey939 · Oct 17, 2006, 08:28 PM

No problem, you have another "10 minutes" to get things working again.

MM-o4 · Oct 17, 2006, 09:01 PM

haha, I have no idea what you've done. All I did was a little java script to max the window size to the monitor. I left all other bits on, address bar, status bar etc...

MM

turtle777 · Oct 17, 2006, 11:08 PM

So, I did the math.

The average life expectancy of a hamsptor is 2-3 years.

Could that explain why 10 hampstor minutes equal several human hours ?

Please post a photo of yourself so we can make an accurate effigy in which to stick meltingly hot pins.

Love Calm Quiet · Oct 18, 2006, 09:15 AM

MM-o4...

your site is down this morning...

just when I was up for js abuse.

rickey939 · Oct 18, 2006, 02:52 PM

OMG!!!!!111 new multi-quote icon is up!!!!!!!!111

Dakar² · Oct 18, 2006, 02:58 PM

Demonhood made it?

I'm surprised it isn't the dragon with 'multi-quotinate"

Demonhood · Oct 18, 2006, 03:04 PM

i'm capable of making non-dragon graphics.
i mean..um...some have zombies.

Dakar² · Oct 18, 2006, 03:05 PM

You are more diverse than initially realized.

Can you do unicorns? I hear marden is a big fan.
