So what insightful comments on the evolution controversy does our new member toponlineepornrponv wish to make?

But people who do have edit privlege get the question mark to the left of the "edit" button. Or at least that's what I see from here, so the question mark isn't replacing the button.

Henry

I can vouch for that, although now my question mark is between the BW button and the delete button.

I just ignore it, although in a perfect world it shouldn't be there.  It's probably just a stray character at the beginning of the code that adds those standard buttons.  I'm assuming that the BW button is custom code that appears before the standard buttons code.

Hey, it's disappeareded!

See what happens when you pray to the One True Code Fixerupper?  All your question marks shall be resolved.

Well if evolution by mutation is dependent on sexual reproduction it sorta begs the question of how exactly the One True Code Fixerupper is Fixerupping, doesn't it?

Of course, it's obviously just microevolution anyway...

So now you've got a working BW button? Coolness.

Um, no.  We were discussing the stray question mark, and the question mark that was replacing the edit button for some accounts.

My BW button is still out of order, but Wesley is working on it.

Have had a bit of upheaval at home. Our elderly dog was in renal failure, and we've put her down.

I'm around, but may not be commenting much for a bit.

I've also changed the link structure in the RSS feed. It should point to individual entries, but load a whole page at a time.

Sorry to hear that Wesley.  You and yours have my sympathies.

After Lou closed my thread and after one of my post has  disappeared and after Lou has deleted all my Friday's posts from "Evolution of the horse" there is another inconvinience I experienced. I cannot get at AtBC forum using Slovakian provider - the message is


The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.


So I am using services of a proxyserver to send this message. There are so many inconviniences for a critique of darwinism to participate here last time. Oddly enough no such problems existed when W.R. Elsberry was admin.

Marty, if you have an actual issue with the board mechanics, it goes here.

Bitching about moderation goes in PM.

Your bitching about Darwinismus can go either in your cosmology thread, or on the BW.

If you ever have a thought that might contribute to the discussion in a thread, it goes there.

Edited to add:

Your posts were not deleted, they were moved to the Bathroom Wall where they belonged, along with a whole boatload of other peoples' comments, probably mostly my own.

We seem to be experiencing the roll-over issue on the BW.

FYI.

ETA:

For those that don't know, when comments roll over onto a new page but there's no link to the new page, go to the last page that you can see in that thread.

Look up at your URL bar, which ends in a number.  Edit that number to add 30 to it.  For instance, the URL to this page ends in "st=450".  You make that say "st=480".

Click your "go" button on your browser.

Man, am I sick of seeing my name on this board. I don't think I'm contributing too much or anything, I'm just sick of seeing "Posted by: Stevestory" "Last comment by: Stevestory" "Topic Started by: Stevestory" etc. It's enough to make me want to get an account under my alias, Bill Jackson, just so I don't have to see my name 100 times.

(Why Bill Jackson? My friend Mike spent a year thinking up the most absurd sounding alias he could, and occasionally goes under the result, Ralph Vienna. I couldn't top that for absurdity, so I thought of the most asshole-sounding name I could, and Bill Jackson sprang to mind. Although truth be told, Arden Chatfield is so great I want to bury him in an unmarked grave and assume his identity.)

I've made the decision that if the day ever comes when my number of posts looks like it's about to surpass 'Sternberger' Steve's, that's the day I retire from this board. Having the biggest no. of posts in all of ATBC, even more than all the moderators, is just too nerdy, even for me.  :O

I know the feeling.  Sometimes I'll pop in, read every thread that's been updated since last I was in, make a few comments, next thing I know "Last comment by Lou FCD" like seven or eight times in a row.

Then nothing.  Nothing for like an hour, and I have to wonder how one man can kill so many conversations in like five minutes.

I need to shut up more.

Right now you're rolling at 6.47 posts per day, and I'm at 7.0. So you don't have anything to worry about for a while.

I really like the Slashdot moderation system. Once you've paid your dues, you're given the power to rate a random group of comments. More experienced people then meta-rate your rating. It creates a self-policing community. And no deletion is required--you can select what level of comments to view. The flamey idiocy is still there, you can select to view it if you want, or you can select higher-rated comments to view.

My appreciation of that system stumbled a bit when I realized that if implemented here, FtK would actually receive some moderation power, and, because she's an ID Creationist, presumably try to delete a bunch of comments she didn't like. But then I remembered that her horrible moderation would be meta-moderated and her powers would diminish, and my appreciation of that system rebounded.

I like it. It's succinct. Simple. Not too wordy. Unlike some horrible graphics I could mention.

Actually, the best part of it is the URL. it is posted at someplace called "onlinefantasyart.com".

Onlinefantasyart is a pretty concise description of ID, actually. Or maybe onlinefantasyfart...
