It's been fixed now.

Isn't the line "UBB code? What's that then?" new as well?

I was more concerned that the hosts would go into 'random' mode again as they've done before, where threads turn up on random boards and it all goes a bit Magic Roundabout.

Posted by Doublethink. (# 1984) on :
 
That would be a hosts and admin day - and there is a announcement in the styx when those happen.
 

---

Posted by Marvin the Martian (# 4360) on :
 
Indeed. This was very much not "Random Mode", it was merely a refreshing change to a couple of wordings used around the place. Such things have been quietly going on for the whole time the Ship has been afloat, usually without there being any reaction whatsoever.

It's somewhat gratifying to find that somebody noticed it this time!

One day I wil be the bored Admin on deck and y'all will wake up to " whut up, dawg?" as your greeting.
 

---

Posted by Marvin the Martian (# 4360) on :
 
That will be awesome.

I was tempted to do something like replacing one of the wordings on the front page with "Hail Gallaxhar", but that might have been going a bit too far...

Posted by Uncle Pete (# 10422) on :
 
That would be cute for about 2 minutes. After that, though, I fear it would be extremely annoying.
 

---

Posted by RooK (# 1852) on :
 
That actually sound quite apposite for much of the Ship.

I love the little quiet changes. I remember with fondness the advent of "You can check out any time, but you can never leave."

( It was me. I changed the edit message, too.)

I am beginning to suspect that Marv and I are the only ones on team Admin that still find playing around with the Wordlets a novelty. In any case, he started it, and I thought, "I wanna play!"

Posted by Kelly Alves (# 2522) on :
 
.? i didn't touch the greeting. the script is still in place, and I only mucked around with wordlets... Not sure why the greeting would shut off.

Unless one of my fellow admins felt frisky..

(After poking around) honestly, I don't know where I would find the place to turn that on and off, so I guess we will have to wait for it. Like I said, the script is stil there...

I'm no longer salutated. I'm asterisked. Was it something I said?

Would someone send me a pm, and note on this thread after it is sent? i've noticed something else.

So, it looks like that entire line of text is not working. i have sent a note to pease. Hang in there. And keep checking your inbox via " profile".

Is there an alternative place to log in? Or log out? Just askin'
 

---

Posted by Nenya (# 16427) on :
 
I think if you are not logged in there is a login link up at the top, next to My Profile, Directory, Search, FAQs. To log out the only way I've found is to click on Reply to a thread. Then you get your own "Displayed name" with a log out link in brackets next to it.

Nen - staying logged in at present, just to be safe, but hoping people aren't thinking she spends the whole day on the Ship.
 

---

Posted by Curiosity killed ... (# 11770) on :
 
You're right. So that would give an alternative route to signing in - try posting and get the sign in screen there.
 

---

Posted by Nenya (# 16427) on :
 
That's a high risk strategy - I've been known to compose a post and then log in, thereby losing the whole thing.

Try this link.This means that there is no longer the requirement that all emoticons are stored in ship software. These include 🙈 🙉 🙊 and I think this is about the only occasion I will ever use those ones.

It reminds me of a song from a school music production we did when I was ten - 'Salutations, hail, good day, and how do you do! Sorry that we all turned up right out of the blue!' I keep singing it to myself when I come on here! (Just googled it, as I remember an awful lot of it, and I'm sure plenty of others must have done it too - Queen Beryl and the Romans - or I Came, I Saw, I Made a Mess of it.)

I'm rather liking "Salutations!" It has a slightly I, Claudius feel to it. I now feel a slight urge to wear a toga.

But that might just be me.

Someone once said "Greetings and hallucinations" somewhere to me, and I liked it, because it challenged my mind to consider that I am a fool in the face of goodness knows how many fine phrases and arguments.

Every time I see or hear the word "salutations" now as I sign in, I want to roll a blunt, listen to some Kraftwerk and learn the answers to the problems of this universe and any other universe you (s)hippies care to invent.
