Question for the mods

[echeese]

At the top of the board it says 72 users online. . .

 

But at the bottom is shows just me and a guest. . . . 

 

Just curious.on a slow monday . .

Stuck in a room with just echeese and myself. Holy beat down Batman! I better get the fat outta here!

[Biff Johnson]

I see three members, one guest, and although I am not a mod, I am somewhat modern, at least the portions not Neanderthal and Sasquatch.

[Lukus Alderman]

The only answer that I can guess is that there are members on other forums or reading articles.  The bottom just tells who is in the forum.  The top tells who is online.

[Aaron Carrara]

The forums are open to guests to view (you do not have to be a member to read, with the exception of Premium posts - which you must be a Premium member to read).  Just means that someone isn't "logged in" when viewing,.

[BudreauReye]

I have noticed that too.  Over time, the numbers have always been as disparate as they are today.  Not that it really makes any difference. but I think that if the programmers looked into it, you would find that one of those numbers is not correct.  One counter or the other is not working ... again, not that it really matters.  And, in answer to Aaron, the bottom counter lists guests and anonymous users. so they should still be accounted for.

You mean like this?

[killrjoe]

Yes.

[Etex Horn]

Not to butt in, but I'd like to know how to "reply to a quote" also. Have tried and failed several times.

just hit the 'quote' box in the lower RH corner of the post you want to quote. type your reply, hit 'post'.

[killrjoe]

I do that but it never shows up. It didn't this time either.

[North Texas Golfer]

Same here. I hit Quote all the time to reply and the reply never shows up. And I have to hit post twice for my post to even show up.

[Etex Horn]

I have tried the "Quote" thing several times, never worked for me.

Didn't this time, either.

[armadillo slim]

Test 123, 123

[streettopeschel]

it's becoming apparent that the mods have implemented something of a message board caste system and those of you unable to quote are the untouchables.

 

Oh, and i should add for Lukus...to understand the untouchables reference google 'India history', not Kevin Costner or Sean Connery.

[Etex Horn]

Testing again.

Fail.

Pariah I am.

[Aaron Carrara]

Try it again now fellas but go ahead and hit refresh first.

 

Working on it.  If it doesn't pop right now I will get it working.  My guess is you are using Internet Explorer...

Don't you mean Internet Exploder?

[killrjoe]

IE it is. but what does that have to do with it ?

[North Texas Golfer]

Tried to reply to post #20 but didn't work. But I have a serious question so smart asses need not reply. What is wrong with Internet Explorer?

You've been exterminated. Sorry.

In all seriousness, Microsort products have always been some of the worst written software on the face of the earth.  They have been very good at not rewriting their software, but just appending it so they could sell a new version.  Internet Explorer has historically had some of the largest "holes" in their software with regards to backdoor access for hackers. I do not know, they may have improved their software over the years, but historically,  Internet Exploder can be

compared to the Chevy Vega with the aluminum block engine of the 1970's.  I could be considered a smart ass, but I do know a few things, so, I have a License to Reply!  I am kind of like Palidan, "Have Mouth - Will Reply!"
