Find all posts by Username
Find all threads started by Username

I'll see about adding this to the site FAQ.

I agree with the search function. I was logged in and it still asked me a dumb question like "who is the CTO of Amiga Inc." I was'nt sure, what it was. Never heard of a CTO before. So I typed Bill Mcewan, obviously I was spelling it wrong (didnt know at time). It refused to give me a another question, so I was stuck, lol.

I explained this in another thread, which subsequently got deleted, but it asks you a question,even when logged in, because bots can be logged in too.

Is it really so friggin hard to take 5 seconds to answer a basic question that any Amiga user should already know?  Spelling aside, that is.

I just cannot believe there is so much whining over such a simplistic feature.  It's like dealing with a bunch of 3 year olds who didn't get to slide down the slide at McDonalds.  Man up for God's sake and just enjoy.

A simple math question could be presented to the user to answer for example ...

Forgive me because this truly isn't meant to be as evil as it sounds, but really.   It's not that I'm aiming this at you good sir but I'm now officially frustrated by this..  Some idiots can't even read or use google for God's sake to answer a basic trivia question and you think they can somehow manage even basic arithmetic?

Color me doubtful.

There's a lot of "it would be great if Wayne could just" ideas out there, so feel free to bring them up to the authors of vBulletin and I'm sure they will make your dreams a reality.  

As for me, I grow weary of this stupidity.  15 years of it so far with no signs of recession, and yes,  I realize that it's only a couple of truly sad individuals whining here about being asked a simple question, but really.... Damn...  I thought we were long past all the moronic histrionics and whining as a community, but..  

I guess I underestimated..

Let me say this.  Things are what they are.  If anyone wants to make me what I consider to be a reasonable offer for this site, you can take it, put Xoops back up, color it pink and purple for all I care, but the site is, what it is, and it's a hell of a lot better than Xoops ever was -- despite the stupidity and resistance to change shown by a few here.

No worries Wayne

Do with the site as you wish, you do own it after all plus I agree 100% about the whingers and whiners. TBH it's never mattered to me what the site ran ... xoops or vbulliten or whatever, the place exists and thats all that really counts in my book.

Sorry for the frustration but it sometimes amazes me that we put in all this effort over the span of 15 years to provide what is, and has always been, an essentially FREE service, only to have people whine, bitch, and cry about it.

I fully accept open ideas, if they're presented to me as such.  I'm no more perfect than the next guy, but everything I do normally has a very distinct reason.  That being said, I have no more patience than other webmasters such as Davey, or Targhan, or anyone else for people who want to anonymously bitch about a free service without contributing anything in return.

It's about as rude as my reply, and to you and the others in the right of this thread, I apologize.

The OP could have simply sent me an e-mail asking me to disable human verification for registered users.  We could have discussed the pros and cons politely, and quietly.  Instead, like the other wanker that got himself banned the other day, he (probably the same 12 year old idiot) gets online and has a public go at me, even creating what I can only presume is multiple accounts to do so.  The timing of it all is just too perfect to be otherwise.

At some point, I simply have to call "bullshit" and move on with my life.

Can I ask what the feature is?

You're the one complaining about it.  If you don't know what you're whining about, why are you whining?

[Wayne]

Also, what happened to the smileys? All I see is text. :-? Amiga.org still teething?

Another feature that's been explained several times, but obviously since you missed it, it doesn't exist  

:laughing:

Quick Links >> Edit Options >> Miscellaneous Options >> Message Editor Interface

Use the Enhanced Interface (WYSIWYG).

Seriously though...  vBulletin is used twice as many sites as any other package on the planet.  The fact that you haven't run across it before is surprising, unless the ONLY sites you ever visit are confined to the now-antiquated Amiga.

Everything you're looking for is there, and is usually in plain site, as long as you bother to look for it with an open mind.

Replying with a quote is easy, just click "Quote" when reading a message.  If you want to reply to multiple messages in one, simply select each message you want to quote, then click "Multi "" which is right next to the Quote button.  The rest, meaning the [ quote ] and [ /quote ] tags work EXACTLY like they do at AmigaWorld or any other BBCODE compliant site.
