I have to admit, it was months after I started reading TWW before I figured out what "set em up" meant.

I thought it was a beer pong reference or something.

As far as the whole brentroad/wolfweb issue, I can't help but think of the Futurama episode with the alternate dimension in a box.

for who?

you guys send thread bump requests, thread removal request, editing requests and if you dont link that shit the right way then the moderator has to jump through hoops to meet your request

other users dont have to re-log in or copy the end of the url into their browser

so no, its not easier...its just being lazy

7/26/2007 2:28:31 PM

well whenever i get around to posting a link

i plan on changing it back

of course, the jokes on you because you are going to have to be the one to watch for it since it gets your panties in a wad

it's easier for me. i don't send thread bump requests, removal requests, editing requests so that doesn't concern me. your last statement is um...not really proving any point...

7/27/2007 10:45:06 AM

do you really not understand the concept of - fix it once for the many as opposed to be lazy once and the many have to fix it

you sound worthless

2/10/2008 1:46:52 PM

Oh. you still have to use the link button.

So that's still no good for the majority of people that are just gonna copy and paste directly into their reply (kinda like what happened in the post right above me ).

Was the fix that DirtyMonkey suggested in this thread really that hard to implement? Seemed like the best fix to me, but what do I know?

2/11/2008 9:27:05 AM

^ I actually did that in this thread: /message_topic.aspx?topic=513897 but I don't think many people noticed it. I posted it late on a Saturday night so it got buried.

Well your tools are great and all (really they are pretty sweet) but what I meant was how hard would it be to implement them on the server side. Because, lets face it, no matter how cool your greasemonkey scripts are, they are gonna get used by 10% of the people on here in a best case scenario. It's just like all the morons that bitch about pop up ads instead of just installing ad block plus and solving their own problem.

2/11/2008 4:54:07 PM

yeah, you're right. not many people are going to bother with installing all that stuff.

it would be a hell of a lot easier for them to implement it without having to hack away at it like i did. really i would be perfectly fine with me if nael grabbed that stuff and stuck it in the page.

2/11/2008 5:06:02 PM

This new "fix" sucks ass, btw.

People that are used to not being assholes that still try to link "properly" get links that look like this:

http:///message_topic.aspx?topic=423773

People that don't care and just paste the URL directly get this:

http://www.brentroad.com/message_postreply.aspx?topic=423773

Neither of them work.

Meh.

2/19/2008 3:42:21 PM

Well sure, if you copy the / in front of message_topic.aspx. If you don't copy that leading /, then it works fine. But there's not much point in copying a section of the URL anymore, since now you can paste the entire URL into the link box and its auto-shortened for you (thats kind of the whole idea)

Quote :

"People that don't care and just paste the URL directly get this: http://www.brentroad.com/message_postreply.aspx?topic=423773"

I agree that it would be better to be able to past full links directly into the text area, and have then auto-fixed, but its not like pasting full links into the reply box "doesn't work" like you describe, it just isn't auto-fixed yet.

What nael did was make it easier for the people who actually want to link correctly, do so. Its added functionality, nothing is worse off. If you can't see that then you obviously just enjoy complaining.

That's where you and I disagree then.

I think this "fix" has created more problems than it's solved. And it's still half assed at best.

oh look, you're right. BUT STILL, like i said, theres NO POINT in pasting part of the URL into the link box anymore since you can now paste the ENTIRE link and it gets fixed.

tell me whats so wrong about this update. you can't do something that you don't need to do anyway? that makes so much sense. where are these problems you refer to?

The behavior for linking has changed. Which would be great if it worked 100% of the time. But it doesn't. The "fix" changed what people are used to. It's basically taken away one hoop to jump through and added a different one. Oh, now I can copy the whole link instead of just part of it? Well that's all fine and well, but why can't I just paste the url directly into the reply box? I still have to use the link button to make a "correct" link anyway.

It seems at least two other mods see my point. Sorry I don't feel the need to cater to the one that can't figure it out.

= dense

those are two separate issues. the fact that you can't separate the two means you must be trolling (bc judging from some of your posts on here you're not a complete retard).

I'm sure he's going to work on the textbox fix, I had already brought up the need for it in the mod forum. give the dude some time.

2/21/2008 3:30:55 PM

I fail to see how you can say I'm the one that's trolling when I bring up an issue and you attempt to call me out for bitching about something. I mean shit, I've either got a valid point here, or I don't. Which one is it?

Obviously I know it's two seperate issues. My entire point here is that the behavior of the link button has changed, thus changing the way that users need to behave when trying to "link properly" They still need to use the button and paste text into the form, the only thing that has changed is the amount of text that needs to be pasted. My entire point is that if the second issue is resolved (the ability to just paste a link directly into the reply box) then the first issue will be moot.

My entire "complaint" was just that this "fix" didn't actually fix a damn thing.

Your complaint is that I complained? And I'm the one that's trolling?

7/7/2008 6:32:47 PM

I'm confused. What do you mean it's been fixed?

Fixed would mean that someone would be able to take the full URL, paste it directly into the reply box, and it would automatically be linked as the short method so everyone logged into all 4 varients of the site could click on it.

What's changed? Because that link^ still redirects me to a site that I'm not logged into.

so use the link button...it works perfectly

I don't get it.

it's been like that since 2/08

7/7/2008 11:04:03 PM

I know it may seem like I'm bitching for the sake of bitching, but really the point I made months ago still stands. People still have to choose to link properly. Yes, you've made it easier and better, but they still have to click the link button and paste the URL into the box that comes up. I'd still say less than 10% of users here will bother with the extra step.

This won't truly be fixed until the site automatically parses local URLs directly from the reply box (or Compose New Mail box).

no, when you used the link button you got the entire http:// associated with the link
this leaves that out

but i still agree with The Nach
