But: deleting the sig line obliterates it from any post.

Wacky computer world.

BigV · 04-30-2015, 11:42 AM

it is normal. I found the same behavior awhile back and I was similarly puzzled.

Lamplighter · 04-30-2015, 11:48 AM

I suspect...

it's the difference between no sig Line and a different sig line.
When you change a sig line your previous postings (with a sig line) update to show the new version.

Not so.

Here's an old thread, with posts by me that have differing signature lines.

Ummm...

When I view that link, I see your sig line only on your last post !

yes, that's my point. sigline changes are universal in their effect. some posts will contain them, some will not. the effect is not universally retroactive.

Can we name the Cellar banner monkey "Idic"?

I know/realize that YouTube and many other sites use the Adobe Flash Player
to collect data about the User's activities on that website, and such data is
eventually shared among advertisers.

Personally, I've elected to not allow AFP to activate storage
... unless or until I deliberately activate it on a website I trust.

And today, I noticed wording in the Alert Message that surprised me.
“Allow www. Cellar.org to run Adobe Flash ”

Is this due to the particular video embedded on that specific posting,
or is such data routinely being collected/stored on The Cellar ?

Undertoad · 05-29-2015, 09:00 PM

Yes, the particular video was on Vimeo, which still uses Flash to show video, as opposed to Youtube, which is using new, different video types.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-29-2015, 10:03 PM

I don't believe the Cellar is collecting/storing anything.

Undertoad · 05-30-2015, 10:33 AM

We are the one social media that doesn't give a shit about "collecting" anything from you. Now please list your blood lab numbers.

And fill the tip mug

wtf is Untangle Server and why is it suddenly displaying its icon on the cellar tab?

Undertoad · 06-05-2015, 03:54 PM

Not us. Need screen shot.

infinite monkey · 06-05-2015, 04:05 PM

I'm running Norton right now. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

How do you resize a picture (it's 3.46 MB) so that I can post it on the Cellar. I used to compress with Microsoft picture viewer or whatever it was (I can't even remember the name of that default program I used to use) but now I can't find any such option on either paint or photo viewer. I can't download a new program, because this is at work. Any ideas?
