Title: stupid annoyance.
Post by: Unorthodox on November 05, 2014, 01:36:34 PM

Maybe just me.  At the top you have the navigation buttons showing where you are, for instance, presently mine says:

Alpha Centauri 2 Forum >> Community >> Community >> Council Room >> Start new topic. 

Well, I find it rather annoying that "Alpha Centauri 2 Forum" TAKES ME OUT OF THE FORUM and to the landing page home.  I don't want home, I want the FORUM. 

The forum is the first Community. 

Anyway, just a little minor thing that gets me once in a while.

I have a stupid annoyance as well.
My "m" key just popped off my keyboard. Now I have to touch this gelatin-like thing or end up flicking the key off my desk every time I need to use the letter.

Stupid Annoyance: One of the biggest anime nerds I know says I have no life because I've caught up completely with a 65-chapter Manga, 10 minutes later he's reading Black Butler...

I tell myself I'll watch it or read the Manga, but I'm not ready to jump into another one right now.

The Black Butler in question is the Devil, so it may not be for you.

It was something to do with Jesus -he didn't tell much- but you saw better than most how much he entertained me while it lasted.

Flux got into religion? Or was he always and did I simply not remember?

I've been here three minutes and this has already gotten me. Though I see how it's useful for people that might actually visit the main pages of forums, I'm just not one of them. But it might be better to remove "Forum" to prevent confusion of dullards and Unorthodoxians.

This is my partner's fault.  sisko is Tech Guy; I'm only Suffer Fools Gladly Guy.

I would change that if I knew how - I never liked it, either.

Post by: Buster's Uncle on May 18, 2016, 01:21:08 AM

It's a tuber.  I seriously don't remember doing that, but it was clever of me.

One second while I check to get the instructions right for time...

Post by: Buster's Uncle on May 18, 2016, 01:29:00 AM

Your profile>Look and Layout (left sidebar)>Time Offset:  I've set you to Central time, but if it's actually Mountain for you, increase the offset by one.

If you don't like wearing a tuber, :( Profile>Forum Profile.  There's over 2,000 avatars in the user gallery, and you can link or upload your own, too.

  In my professional opinion as a Botanist, you just need a better looking tuber.  Google up some botanical and culinary illustrations of the many wild and weard species with fat underground stems.  You're sure to find one that suits your self-image.
  The hundreds of strange-looking potato varietes grown in the Andes might be a good starting point.

  Be careful to steer away from the look-alikes that arn't real stem tissues: No turnips or carrots (root), or onions (leaves).

  If I remember correctly, the -ski ending is primarily Polish, so the 'tater is a fitting choice (at least for the last three hundred years).  Plus, belonging to the famed Polish Underground would be a great honor ;)

Hah.

Vid, did you admit to being a PhD?  Draz is in a doctoral program, and I was threatening him the other day about adding "Dr." to all the members with doctorates' -my sister and a few others, if only I can recall who- display names...

Post by: Vidsek on May 22, 2016, 12:15:35 PM

  No, I did not...but will claim some Mastery therein.   Plus both Polish and Scot-Irish ancestory, giving me a genetic advantage in discussing the Noble Spud. 

  I'll leave it to you whether or not that earns me a title.  (And NO, I will not change my avatar to Mr. Potatohead)

I noticed, back to the topic of stupid annoyances, that the selection in the drop down menu for the "information" icon holds a spelling error (the drop down menu spells it "imformation")

The drop down menu for "message icon" while posting a response.

Ah.  So it is.  Will fix the typo shortly.
