looks great congrats to all involved.


-tiki, cell 478

well, guess I'd better clock in...

"inmates, I guess. But you're not called that - you're calling yourself that. Big difference."

TP - no offense intended. just a nitpick. in my time here in the asylum, i've never seen us called inhabitants - thought i might have missed the reference. i've seen the phrase "inmates" used on many occasions though. i've always thought of it as part of the ambience of the place.

a quick search of the faq and archives will bring up a plethora of examples.. everything from how do the inmates choose their names to how many inmates belong to deviant art.

Well I'm open to suggestions.

'Cell #123, inmate likes being called "kuckus"' - does that sound okay? Not quite perfect, I think... how'd you say it?

I like the new look.

Works fine on my Mac.


You are getting sleepy...sleepy. You will go to the North Wing....

kuckus - click on your name to the left of your post to see the wording.

[edit - LOL don't know my right from my left ]

(Edited by velvetrose on 04-11-2004 15:15)

One thing that I may have missed.
But when the thread has more than one page, and we click the thread in the main page, we go always to the first page. Usually, in other forums, there is a way for you to go to pages 1, 2, 3, ... last when the thread has multiple pages.

Heh, I do know what the current wording is, I put it there myself some months ago! I was hoping to get an opinion on to what exactly you'd change it so it sounds right even to someone for whom English isn't a foreign language

/* edit: viol - From within the individual forums you can get to the latest post by clicked the date of its last modification. Is that what you mean? */

(Edited by kuckus on 04-11-2004 15:27)

Yes, kuckus, that's what I meant. I had missed it. Thanks.

kuckus,
i have enough time to fix some bugs(??) in this great forum.

Not much to say except those involved deserve a round of applause and more.

mmmm . . . very nice. Congratulations!

Now if only the Doc were here to see this....

I just pressed the "OZONE Asylum" button while I was in a thread, trying to get back out to the top. Not the big graphics, but the pill list button and it cleared the active forum list (i.e. forum pills when from red to yellow) what is up with this?

Great work everyone involved, now I must go and do a bit of exploring.

Just had to give this a bit of a test, and of course thank those that worked so hard on the grail. Lookin' great.

Nice work.......

Its gonna take some time to get used to though.....

By the way, what was the post editing time limit y'all agreed on?

(Edited by ozphactor on 04-11-2004 20:26)

Gee...all this looks...familiar somehow

Where's the profiles? I want to update my sig.


You are getting sleepy...sleepy. You will go to the North Wing....

Moth: Click on your name or... ->Moth

By the way, can the Next/Previous Page thread navigation be duplicated at the top of the thread as well? That way, we won't have to scroll all the way to the bottom, just to get to the next page.

kuckus, i offered these possibilities above

quote:

---

... inhabitant is "velvetrose"
or .. inhabitant is called "velvetrose"
or ... the inmate is called "velvetrose"

I was hoping to get an opinion on to what exactly you'd change it so it sounds right even to someone for whom English isn't a foreign language

---

of those possibilities imho maintaining the asylumites as "inmates", in care of "Mad Scientists" and the doc, seems more appropriate as no one except the doc can/could(?) actually release an inmate by deleting their name from the rolls.

so: Cell ##, the home of inmate "insert name" - would be my preference.

(Edited by velvetrose on 04-11-2004 21:57)

I'd rather have

Cell ##, where inmate who claims to be called "Alevice" is located.

Remember to not feed the inmates, that is, take care of your black pills.

Why do our cells say "inhabitant calls himself"? Rather presumptuous, wouldn't you say?

There's a fancy sheme to decide when something is 'new' since your last visit... If i remember correctly, reloading the front page (or quickchanges) after 900 seconds counts as a new visit - clearing of course the old ones you've seen last time.


We'll adjust the cell title. German english teachers always claim the masculin pronoun includes the feminin - without adding that this only applies in general.

I really feel this must be changed, to how the old asylum had it working. It is really driving me nuts. I am very used to clicking on that link to get back to the front page and keeping unviewed topics active as oposed to changing to viewed.

This multiple pages in a thread thing is also screwing me up.

At least for this one there's an easy fix: the "display full thread" link below this reply box in the footer (your preference is stored in a cookie so you'll only have to change it once).

You rock! That makes things much nicer. See I should have explored more before complaining.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

damn, this forum is so great! it has so many small new features, which are really very handy. for example the shortcuts for the ubb code. love that!
also the RSS changes. i can easily look at them in my mobile-phone-browser! kickin'!

InI -

Well... why would someone want to delete his own post? Editing the content away in case of emergency is possible for all Mad Scis and seems good enough to me really.

At the moment the "20 liners" thread doesn't have a linkword assigned. Now I don't know if it had when you were testing this, but if not there's just no way for the ubb parser to recognize ->20 liners as a linkword as they are not assigned automatically (and should only be used for pages that get linked to a lot). You can assign linkwords on the "preserve" pages linked to from the footer of threads, FAQs etc.

When there's no linkword you can create links almost as easily by just saying [pageID], like 20 Liners.

Another possibily is that linkwords starting with numbers just aren't allowed... there might be some hint on that somewhere in the FAQ.

The caching of form contents is only a help for those who accidently click a link other than the submit button while composing their text, so they don't have to start all over again after going back to the page containing the form. Has saved me quite a number of times already....

(Edited by kuckus on 04-12-2004 02:17)

Oh, and I'll be looking for peole with their own web space to volunteer some space soon for the other projecyt that the inames came up with while we were discussing the prelims for this, Distributed Sig Storage.

More on this later, in its own thread...

Now people...get back to congratulating us! (well, mainly TP and Kuckus and Mahjqa...)

Justice 4 Pat Richard

looks nice guys.

hm... I'll look into the ->20liners buissness.
how about ->20l , or ->40liners ?

And indeed, linkwords may not start with a number, since that confuses the url parser. Hm, so why is the regexps evaluating that 20liners as a valid linkword? You should never have been able to set it.

Edit: Liner, liners, linees, whatlinesyourpath?

Edit: That was one very subitly broken regexps.

(Edited by Tyberius Prime on 04-12-2004 05:32)

So at last, the Grail has risen.

I like it... I like it.

i considered this after my postings.. that perhaps an inhabitant was der rather than die.. in english, speaking of people in general, i was taught that the masculine pronoun was often used to mean both male and female (masculine and feminine), because people are of the family of man.. however, when speaking of specific persons, the gender of the prounoun matches the gender of the persons. therefore in our specific cells, since there is little way of knowing which some asylumites are, then a more neutral approach works best.

What a nice Monday surprise! I had no idea the new Asylum would be implemented so soon! I'll have to spend some time poking around...

Er... how was the old Asylum working ;-). You should have 15 whole minutes before a reload of the front page shows any difference. That to short? Could you browse in new windows, instead?
