Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

On the description under "Favorite of the Day", where it says "Which 100HB response was your favorite today? A place to create polls and respond." there is a link to http://respond1.software.informer.com/ on the word respond when logged out. When logged in the link disappears, so you can only see it when logged out.

Just thought you would like to know.

That's dear Fredji's problem, I think. Have fun, love!

I'll try to look at it tonight.

This seems to be popping up in many threads actually. A random word is highlighted, and takes you the random software page.

My goodness, I thought this was some hilarious behind-the-scenes joke I was missing out on. It's been driving me crazy but I was too much of a wuss to actually ask what it was about, for fear of not getting the obvious joke, hahaha.

Glad to know it wasn't happening to just me. Seems like it happens all the time. I've learned to look before I leap to a new link.

The random links only show up if you aren't logged in. I almost never visit here without logging in, so I didn't even realize they were there until a couple weeks ago when someone linked me to a thread and I hadn't signed in yet. They're definitely annoying, though, especially if you don't realize that most of the links (when you aren't signed in) are bogus.

Why does Portia ask a question in "Battles to the Death," when only those with administrative privileges can post a response?

So we can admire her tenacity to think of such a daring combat situation such as that.

Because she didn't realize that only admins could post in that forum.

I unlocked it.

That would imply that writers lose their omniscience when they retire, that's coming close to heresy.

Totally true, and annoying as all get-out. Is this informe's problem in general?

Darn straight I'm losing my so-called Board omniscience. Who has the time between reading Byron's letters and hottubbing and learning to make soup? Not I.

Or did you ever stop to consider that I only like admins, Edmond?! HMM?! Maybe you're not worthy.

But seriously, on the admin side of things, I've been loudly declaring how "we need active admins" and "I still feel responsibility towards this, people!" So you know what? I publicly nominate YOU, Edmond, to replace me. Dead serious. You catch these things about closed/open forums; update the title bar, make sure Vorpal and Cognoscente don't kill each other. It's fun! You can add little stati to people's pseudonyms, figure out what the heck is wrong with Informe, create polls: you'll love it. And I ain't doing all this while traipsing about Slovenia and Ireland, and haven't for a year, and who knows what madness has erupted over in these parts without my once-Board-obsessed watchful eye.

So, if you're up to it, PM bobtheenchanted one, or something. I'm still omniscient; feel free to send me fan mail with the letters formed out of cheesecake, I've just achieved higher gnosis. :)

I believe so, I've looked into it a couple of different ways, but haven't been able to find anyway of removing them, so it is deeper than informe allows us access.

Yeah, as I responded to Humble Master above, the random links only appear when you're not logged in. Most likely it's a form of advertising and is how Informe makes a little money to keep all the free sites up.

I've been getting this message before I log in;

Could not get topic data

Has anyone else seen this?

yes

yes

Yes. But perhaps the information flow was reversed so that it saw me, but I'm the one with the memory.
