Preserved Topic: New Asylum

WOW! I love the new Asylum or Grail or whatever. Just wondering, when I click on my username it say's my cell is #4263. But back when I made my cell it was #1393. Do I get two cells?

EDIT: got the numbers wrong

1393

(Edited by redroy on 04-11-2004 07:53)

yes - you do. You may link to your old cell from your new one using it's *new* id in your contact details,
like redroy's cell
(edit this post to see the source I typed to get this)

->Tyberius Prime

(Edited by Tyberius Prime on 04-11-2004 07:56)

Rad thanks! I really like the changes. Nice work!

1393

Congrtaulations to TP and everyone had a hand in it - everything is looking great

I am a bit freaked out. I will have to get used to this new look, so much exploring I will have to do.

don\'t worry - shock treatment will be available at the usual hours, and we tried to keep the feel as much as possible.

(Edited by Tyberius Prime on 04-11-2004 08:21)

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.

why are these ' poping up... hm...

usual problem - these were covered till this very morning....

everything back to normal now:

Nice work guys and gals :-D.... havn't been here a for a long time, but been in the shadows in the walls around here tho.

Very nice! and all new! I like new things....

it launches new windows for outside links, and uses the same window for links within the asylum.
It's just the difference between middle-clicking and left-clicking for most of us, though.

Woohoo !

For some time, I though I wouldn't last long enough to see the new asylum... But it is finally here

I like the new look, I like the reply box, in fact I like everything I've seen for now.

Something puzzles me though, how did you madscis converted all the old CGI asylum to a brand new PHP board, and kept at the same time all the database ? I don't know much about CGI, but well, it is kind of magic to me...

So as a conclusion... Thanks, and keep the good work !

----
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.

Congratulations!!!

The only thing that puzzles me a bit is that the button, does not behaves like a switch to toggle the visibility of the menu. Otherwise everything rocks!

good work!

Thanks =)

poi -
You are right, that's not perfect yet. I'll look into it!

MS -
It took quite a number of tries until the importer TP wrote got everything right, but in the end it was easier than I would have thought - the old forum software stored everything in flat text files instead of a database, and getting it over to the Grail was essentially 'just' a matter of interpreting those thousands of files correctly and inserting all the information into the new database.

By darn hard work - all the information was there, but it took about 10 imports (each running at least 45 minuts -the earlier ones much longer (think 5 hours...)) till finally just about everything was imported correctly. (ok, this probably was elevated by the fact tha we changed major things around at times, like the ubb code that was completey rewritten a couple of months ago).
It wasn't 'difficult' - but it was much work. Fortunatly, I had a more or less dedicated machine that handled it, for I had to increase the virtual memory of the machine to two gigs (minus some ram) so that the php importer would actually run through without apache dying in the proccess - that much for php memory 'handling' (=leaking).

weird! nice job, very nice effort and very much appreciated!

Wow, it's been finally implemented. Cheers!

My only complaint is that the tooltip that displays the pages that links to this page has an obviously useless anchor tag :P

Nice work guys.

Wow. Thank you all for your hard work! Mmm, Fast Reply...

many changes, some great, some will take getting used to..

so the method for linking to a faq has changed to just [ faq# ] ? (without the spaces) no more listing the url?

as i spent no time testing out the beta, i have no complaints .. though i do miss the "next topic" and "previous topic" links... and being able to finish reading a thread while a clicked link loaded

love that the faq is alphabetized! LOL, finding some topics will still take some work

an impressive piece of work - thanks for all the effort!

[edit - why does my profile begin "Cell #1009, inhabitant calls himself "velvetrose" ? a bit sexist there, eh?

(Edited by velvetrose on 04-11-2004 11:05)

yes [ id ] now works from every where (even your user details in your cell (click your name, and then admin to change them).

Though some (and soon many, I guess) pages have gotten linkwords already. Like ->faq, or ->Tyberius Prime. Just prefix them with ->. There are also some other 'namespaces' - like php help php->unlink()
just prefix the -> with php. See ->aboutUBB for there details.

Most users, those having only letters and numbers and spaces in their names at least, have also been assigned linkwords. Like ->velvetrose , which now links to your cell.


Edit:
Well, would you prefer itself? Or maybe, themselves would fit many inmates ;-)

(Edited by Tyberius Prime on 04-11-2004 11:10)

->Alevice
or...

->alevice

edit: wohoohoo, its not caps sensituvce

linkwords are not case sensitive ;-).

And the automatically handle spaces within them, always choosing the longest linkword possible.
(so, if there was as page assigned 'tyberius prime and his cats' and I type ->Tyberius Prime and his cats , all of it would become a linkword. But since there's only ->Tyberius Prime, that's all that's chosen.

Testing sig rotator tag :P
edit: I just can see the something else text...anyone else seeing my other sig???

Nice work.

I cannot see all characters on the buttons left to this textarea.

See this image.
http://thinkdrastic.de/asylum/buttonbugs.gif

A   before and after the char should help.

actually TP, that could be rephrased to:

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

we are inmates aren't we? or is inhabitant the PC word?

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

Thanks kuckus and TP for the details

I've been browsing some more through the FAQ, the archives etc, and the new asylum is actually much clearer and easier to use. The search tool is a wonder of efficiency, and more convenient to use.

I also read what were the new rankings, the system is clearly very funny ! However, I was surprised that the numbers were not 'Prime' numbers In fact, they were just multiplied each time by 7...

By the way, I was just testing the new linkword, when I found something with google->ozone asylum...

Another address of the Ozone Asylum is http://grail.coonabibba.de/ ... Funny.

OH MY GOD!!! This is awesome! And just yesterday I was saying to myself "new asylum? what?" and all over ozone's newer sites. Bravo. Oh man.. bravo times a million. DROOOOOL~!!!! XD I'm all happy now.

Shine and shine. :: [Cell=992] :: [See my team's 30 second animation]

u-neek: that's a mac, right? I'll try to get a hold of one to try it - but I fear a   on each side would enlarge the buttons in every other browser... maybe we'll add some more browser specific code.

When using firebird (i guess it works in firefox too) there is an little icon in the lower left corner.
After pressing it i little menu shows up where to styles can be choosen an basic style and in this case the asylum style. I knew this function existed, but never saw it in action. Well done.

------------------------------
Do something usefull: support Justice for Pat Richard

moon shadow: http://grail.coonabibba.de/ was the platform we actually developed on. It got picked up by google when I announced the first beta. It'll probably stay around (with the asylum look and feel), but it's database might be emptied. Having a seperate system for testing is invaluable.

We've actually had not one bit of Mac testing so far, have we TP?

I can't wait to hear/see what Steve's browsers do to the new layout

u-neek -
I don't see an obvious fix either, because generally enlarging the buttons would result in uglyness in all the other major browsers as TP said. But I'd be quite happy to give you a testing page to fiddle with if you have a few free minutes to spare some day...

To pay a tribute to the new Asylum, from now on I am not 'viol' anymore, I am just Mad Scientist . After all, the post count has been vanished and the new ranking system is weird, so, new Asylum => new me.

And again, great work, you people that did this. I don't know who all of you are, but you know to whom I'm talking to.

WOW, love it..awesome work guys...no complains

awesome

NICE!!! I LOVE IT GUYS!!! Now this project was a LOOONG time coming! First Gurus, and now The Holy Grail! SWEET WORK ALL!

'Tis on this day of re-birth, renewal and celebration we bring forth this Holy Grail. May this grail continue to quench our thirst for knowledge in graphics, web development, and life. May it let us to continue, in the words of warjournal, to 'Play, Fiddle, Learn.'

(Edited by Wolfen on 04-11-2004 14:26)

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.

(Edited by velvetrose on 04-11-2004 15:00)

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.

Ramasax

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.....

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.

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.

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?

I'm also a little confused about the sudden multiplicity of cells... What used to be Cell 617 is now page 5143... but that's not at all connected to my profile ->bodhi23...

Can you expand on this in layman's terms please?

I assume you're talking about the faq pages.
See, about every page in the grail is addressed via a simple id, faqs, threads, forums, user cells.
When we were importing all the old information from the asylum and the faq, we had to start with the users, or we wouldn't have been able to make the correct links to user's cells. Therefore all faqs (which where the second thing we imported) got bumped by about 4500.

Please note that pretty much all the old urls are still working, and redirect to the new asylum page.
Example: http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/1005 still points to the sandbox, and http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/009078.html still goes to myIE2.

I'll try - basically everyone has built their cell automatically into their profile, or perhaps rather their profile into their cell, so it's only the one page you get to by clicking your user name for both. Clicking the "Edit Cell" button there will reveal a so far empty field for "additional information" where you can move everything you previously had in your FAQ cell.

From there you could of course still link to subpages in the FAQ, and maybe it will also be possible to add pages to your cell directly without using the FAQ at all in the future... I don't think we have quite thought the whole cell idea to its end yet. As it is now, every inmate just has his/her profile/cell page available for anything he/she might want to show to the rest of us, however much that might be

(Edited by kuckus on 04-12-2004 06:13)

Nice work, guys.

However, I seem to be missing the "Back to Top" link.

Also, I can't find any quick way to get to my profile. I have to go find my name in a thread somewhere or navigate through the member list. Is there a quicker way?



(Edited by Wes on 04-12-2004 06:20)

sure. just change the url to http://www.ozoneasylum.com/wes - wait, your name is to short to be a valid linkword/url.

I fear not, though you could of course learn your cell number by heart.

What TP forgot to add is that a profile link is of course going to be found in some place on every page soonish, the problem was just that we discovered it was missing only yesterday and there wasn't enough time to think it through then

Yummy


< Ozone Quotes >

Um... The problem is that I am not getting the 15 minutes. I am not even getting 15 seconds. Here is my work flow.

1) Click my toolbar link to the asylum.
2) Click a couple of times to view the content of a new thread.
3) Scroll back to the top of the page and click "OZONE Asylum"
4) AHHHH!!! The pills have all gone yellow!

With the old Asylum I was able to click this link and I would return to the front page and it would not have modified those topics which had changed since my last visit.

I am browsing with Firebird on FreeBSD if that means anything.

That's pretty strange. I just did the same thing (front page -> OZONE forum -> New Asylum thread -> link back to front page) and am still getting the red pill for the forum as always. Even after refreshing the page and hitting Strg+F5. Doing that in the old Asylum turned all dots yellow for me, but here it doesn't any more.

I'm using Firefox on Windows here... are you sure all cookies get accepted correcty? The ones called 'lastVisit' and 'thisVisit' control the pill colours.

Do I now have to click forums instead of OZONE Asylum?

Sorry, just checked neither work for me. I will look into my cookies. I didn't have this problem before is all I know.



(Edited by WarMage on 04-12-2004 07:11)

Both links get you to the same page, so I guess not. I didn't at least.

Hmmm... is anyone else having the same problem?

It` alive..ALIVE...muwahahaha!!!

Outstanding, TP, Emps, et al. Doc will be so proud. The inmates did something to the Asylum while he was away, and it didn`t involve breaking anything.
Love all the new stuff. Well done.

For my cookies

Before clicking on OZONE Asylum:

.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372811 thisVisit 1081780261
.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372811 lastVisit 1081780256

After clicking on OZONE Asylum:

.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372928 thisVisit 1081780377
.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372811 lastVisit 1081780256


thisVisit updated when I clicked on the link, but lastVisit remained the same. This should be the correct handling, but the actual behavior is not what it is suposed to be.

I don't know why this is happening. It seems the cookies working correctly.

Great work on this!

Haven't had time to play much with it yet, but it looks fantastic

Thanks for the explanation...

So let me spit it back to make sure I understand...
While a user can access both their original FAQ cell, and now their new profile, the new profile makes the old FAQ obsolete? So we can copy over the information from the old FAQ cell to the new profile, and then we don't need the old FAQ cell anymore... ok.

New question: is it preferrable, at this point, to migrate that information over to the new profile? I mean, ultimately, folks will go into the profiles by the linkword that is the user's name... so are you planning to completely phase out the FAQ cells eventually?

We won't do anything anything about the faq cells - every inmate is still very much welcome to get another cell in the faq, and you're free to link there from your cell, or not. If you asked politly enough, I'm sure a MS would even change your username-linkword to point to your faq cell.

WarMage: Sorry, I don't have any idea why this is not working for you. But I'll investigate.

Eh - just checking... not a big deal...
Wanted to be clear, that's all!

Great work... the more I look around, the more impressed I am!

I had no way of knowing if you'd actually gotten around to setting a linkword or not, the only thing I saw was that there wasn't one assigned after I had read your post. Doesn't have much to do with "trusting your experience" or not.

you know, we've started to refering to IE as 'das EI' - ei meaning egg in german. It's been annoying the heck out of us. If I don't find out what's causing this, I might have to add a random parameter to each url when using IE, just to get it to handle it's caching correctly. sigh.

Olsson saves the day!

the pills... they are all orange.

is this... an upgrade over black pills?

it cant be!!!

They taste like candy...


NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


where are my black pills? *wandres down the hall... or what used to be the hall... looking for black pills and running into closed and open doors that used to be walls on the ceiling*


[antique sigs are us]

Very nice gentleman. I like it.

The only thing that's pained me while I've been wandering is that there's no link to the pages at the top of a thread. I've gotta go to the bottom of the thread but I can't just hit the 'End' key because that shoots me down too far.

:::11oh1:::

Ahh, very nice, very nice. First actual upgrade I remember seeing for the Asylum in years, and it looks good. And the reply box being at the bottom of threads, I greatly approve. Good show, folks.

krets -
Yup that's something I had noticed and considered as well, we just weren't sure where to put the page navigation without making things look too scattered up there... any ideas?

yah, krets thats why you can click the "display full thread" pretty nice little bit. i dunt like all that mess of pages. I just wish there was a "go to last post" button.

And i am used to the drop down menu being at the bottom of the page, so i can jump around to another forum after i read a thread... but... thats minor.


[antique sigs are us]

izz: have you clicked at the date of a thread - that should get you to the last post.

Warmage, Suho: I changed the last visited handling around a little bit - maybe it helps. Please report back. Thank you.

so - shall I use my crystal glass ball to guess what browser and operating system you were using, or will you just tell me. Sometimes, I wish I had access to the c2->RemoteStrangulationProtocol ...

so long,

->Tyberius Prime

I'll say it looks nice. Nice to see some changes!

And I'll be the first to say thanks for the support link at the bottom!

wow, thanks to all who contributed to this, my cable modem died at the weekend so i just got back online today to find this great work again

ah... thats... nice. Kisses all around.

Sorry to say this but the same problem exists. I am really not sure where this is coming from. Do you have a location where the grail source code is. I might be able to look though it and see if I can find any problems in the cookie's storage. If you have a CVS or subversion repository I wouldn't mind getting a link to that too. Might be able to submit some patcher or what not if I find anything that might want some improvements.

still very impressed about this whole thing.


now, time to be pedantic.

the arrow image has a few stray pixels - has this been spotted by anyone else yet?

it's even easier to see if you view it on a white background - just click here to see it.

reitsma

sure warmage, just drop me a line on Q, and I'll get you access.

ha ha, the ranking system is pretty cool. Who thought of that ? great stuff. Ye just know some troll is gonna get " In Solitary Confinement " in 11 posts....

Am curious where those numbers came from, e.g Schizophrenic (1 in 5764801)

Is the post count completely lost ? Its a pity, for the last four years a computer has been keeping track of it, its a shame to throw it out imho.

Why not both ?

Just had a crap idea. Seeing as though there is a little more room on the left these days, why not have more "with"s i.e

when lets say your on Maniac, it randomly picks a with i.e:
Maniac with Narcolepsy
Maniac with Epilepsy
Maniac with Six Fingers
Maniac without a cause

? I dunno, is that crap like I'd suspect ? .. or if you could fill it in yourself.

<- looky at me username, not really a problem, just odd. It doesnt check the username for case sensitivity but it should print it as it is in the profile, which is cool with the new feature: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/hugh

intersesting...very nice overall.

Okay - didn't see this mentioned, but maybe I missed it.

If you post a reply to a message, and then go back and click the 'edit' button, it opens the previous message in the thread (the one above yours). Not yours.

I hope that makes sense

Edit: Seems fixed to me.


Hugh: the hUgh problem is on the todo list.

@Tiberius Prime: Oops ok. Im using Internet explorer 6.0.2800.1108 xpsp 2 where I'm getting the little yellow triangular warning symbol at the bottom left on the status bar saying Error on page (Insert slimies drop down menu link not working and Insert UBB Code dropdown link not working either.) In fact all options in the "Insert Text" area are disabled.

... but in Mozilla Firefox v 0.8, Mozilla Firebird v0.7 and AOL version 8 browser everything is working just fine..

Ahh.. I just noticed something else.. I put my original post in.. then I try to edit it as I spotted some spelling mistakes.. then when I try to edit it a second or third time my text in the text editable area returns to the first version I submitted with the first set of error.. even if I try to edit it within the allowed time frame (ie. withing 30 seconds even)


(Edited by Xpirex on 04-17-2004 01:24)

all right, xpirex - we'll investigate, and I hope we can pin at least the javascript error dowwn - I'm not sure we can do much about IE's broken caching, though we will try.

->Tyberius Prime

That's cool I have no complaints at all.. hey who am I to complain?.. IE is my least used browser these days anyway.. Mozilla Firebird is becoming my daily bread. You've done a grand job..

well done guyz. i really love it
congratz

Am I dreaming or the timezone of the post have changed ? It used to be swedish time, that is GMT+2. And now it seems to be GMT-9



(Edited by poi on 04-19-2004 15:44)

Looks like Pacific Standard Time to me.

docs take cali.

yah, how weird!


[antique sigs are us]

Well, I'm not complaining!

Indeed, it's Pacific Time. I don't know why, but I always think France is in GMT instead of GMT+1

ozphactor: Anyhow I'm not complaining either, but it puzzled me when I noticed that little change. I wondered if I had some problems of cache. And, I found nothing about the new time setting in the FAQ though I remember having seen somewhere that it was GMT+2.

indeed, currently the asylum is running at PST. It'll get back to GMT + 2, though, as soon as I get around to it. Stressful week...

Tyberius Prime: Sorry. I sympathize with you. It's always stressful to say the least when you release a big project and get hundreds of requests. There's no real need to set back the timezone to GMT+2, I was just thinking aloud.

well, I'm on GMT + (1|2) (depending on time of year) - reason enough, no?

Indeed, with the Doc having moved to the West Coast, he might be prefering to see PST,
but if he doesn't speak up, it goes back to GMT + 2 - consider the current PST time a mishap - having developed on a server in germany, we kind of forgot about it.

I don't think I've mentioned how cool the new asylum is....

Awesome

Just to nitpick, it's currently PDT, not PST. Each occurs only half the year.

However, it's referred to as Pacific Time the whole year round.

It's one of my pet peeves to see someone's business hours listed always as "9-5 CST." I feel like I should shift the times an hour to figure out when they're open during the summer.

This would make a great tourist ad for Korea: "Come to Korea, where you never have to reset your watch!"

wouldn't it be PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time) - like CEST being Central European Summer Time and CET - Central European Time - in winter? Or does the West Coast really abreviate PDST to PDT? Pacific Daylight Time, what?

It's not just the West Coast. The standard abbreviations are ...

PST MST CST EST
PDT MDT CDT EDT

But you can typically just use PT, MT, CT or ET unless there's some reason you need to refer specifically to the current daylight-saving status.

I'm loving the new zone. Smoooooth ! Kudos to all the wildly insane that worked on it !

Now if my Zone Alarm will just go away and stop asking over and over and over and overrrrrrrrrrrr if it's ok to send a clear text password to the zone. Maybe I better change my passwork to see if that helps.

No matter how many times I turn off "Remember Me On This Computer " or clear my history/cache etc.. (firefox), my user name and password always appear typed in. I share this computer with non-trustees , anyone can just go ahead change my password or fill this place with crap. Any ideas ?

if you delete your cookies, or uncheck 'remember me' and post - it should be deleted.

Maybe firefox has another 'remeber my form details' kind of feature that you accidentially enabled?

There is a todo on this to add a 'forget about me' button - but that's gonna be a couple of days at the very least, before it get's active.

Maybe, its not a huge problem I guess. But should it not be off by default ?

indeed. that's the other part of that change - to turn the remember checkbox off by default.

Is there a way to make the Copy-Post-to-Clipboard-Before-Submitting-checkbox not checked as my default?

Psst!

There used to be a link at the top that would take you to the end of the thread. Now that we have the post reply down here, would it be possible to get a link that would anchor down to the last post?

Also, is there a way to check previous and next threads as you are reading a thread?

I agree with Bugs. When you click the topic, It should take you to the last reply.

if you click on the date... to the right of the topic title... then BOOM! yer there. I had to ask that same question myself.

I do wish each page itself had one of those "bottom oh pages" buttons though.

Read the ->grailTodo list - we are working on that.

Unfortunatly, that's hardly feasible the way this thing handles it's pages. Sorry.
