protip

ALT-PrntScr will put ONLY the current window into the paste buffer, saving you some editing trouble.

Pete just told me that.

Okay, this is second hand through from a verbose geek through myself a pretty casual user. He suggested that it could be an addressing problem caused by an old address? He said something about changing my DNS? option to an open DNS? Any of that make sense?

I envy your single digit ping times.

faster this morning. Seems pretty normal.

I don't think it's a DNS thing but you can certainly use Google's DNS services, there's never any harm in thar. Google Google DNS.

Is it just me or has this list been re-ordered? I think I remember "Current Events" & "Politics" being further up the list.

Yes/no/maybe?

Undertoad · 07-15-2013, 05:40 PM

yes

You were not supposed to notice, but digr's brain.

Gravdigr · 07-15-2013, 05:43 PM

Muwaheeheehee.

I gotta work on that.

Gravdigr · 07-15-2013, 05:44 PM

Wait.

Did you just call me a butt-digger?

Undertoad · 07-15-2013, 05:47 PM

i said butt-NEKKID digger.

Gravdigr · 07-15-2013, 05:51 PM

Careful.

UT,

If a user starts a Social Group (let's say they name it MugNez) that requires permission to join and they do their posting there; then, they post links in the forums back to their posts in the Social Group, would only those permitted in the Social Group be able to follow the links?

Just wondering if this would be a viable, albeit cumbersome, way to screen viewers while participating in the Cellar at large.

Undertoad · 08-05-2013, 11:31 PM

That wouldn't work, but what are you really trying to accomplish? Maybe there's another way.

sexobon · 08-06-2013, 12:39 AM

I was looking for a way to give some privacy to users here from the same IRL family. Two users who would rather not cross paths could mutually agree to put each other on ignore; but, they would still glean much from the surrounding conversation by others. There would also be no way to verify compliance. Social Groups is the only way I've noticed that one user can exclude another user from viewing their posts and posts by others containing sensitive information.

Just trying to give a departing user another option that's immediately available.
