Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

@wxman1 Got an old SW 737 Tail/Rudder into today to be painted and placed as a landmark for our new building. I'll have to send ya some pics once it's all complete and set!

Don't know if this is something they are going to be fixing, but I'm not a fan of the new imaging crap. Maybe they reduced them because of not having a mobile app that is different from the regular site, but most of the time the pics look "messy" to me.

It works ok when linking to a url. It's just when you upload from your PC where you get the little thumbnail you need to click to open. I haven't looked close enough to see if there is an option to go full image

Edit: I guess there is

I DO like the fact that it tells us now if someone quoted a post we made, so that we can respond to the response, so to speak.

I remember someone bringing up that idea on the old site. Very cool feature of this new site.

Yeah, I had figured it out (the I DOOD IT post). It's slow for people to catch on to though...and in the meantime it looks funky.

When you use the @ user name like you did, does that send an alert to the person?

Apparently not.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Nor does it send an alert if you quote your own post.

There's a learning curve on this site.

@ImJustKCClone

Go to your alert preferences and make sure you have it checked where it says alert you when someone mentions you.

@ImJustKCClone

maybe you can't alert yourself?

I hear you'll go blind

Is there a way to change the post count/page?

Tons of people have brought this up and I don't think CW Or anyone ever acknowledges this concern

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Yup - it worked when WDSM & CG linked my name. Thanks for helping me figure it out!

I recently learned that "script" isn't censored anymore.

Kinda proud of my son at the moment - he wrote a "Player's Pledge" for Pokemon Go players and a friend formatted it for him. It's basically a do's & don'ts list of how to play nicely when people of all ages & skill levels are playing the same game publicly.

They put it on FB and it has been shared nearly 2000 times.

Sometimes I think I did okay raising them.

Had to grab a sandwich in a convenience store. Had a deal, $1 sandwiches. Wrapper said BBQ pork, but it also said fish sandwich. Felt adventurous and bought it. Will be excited to see what I'm having.

It's going to be disgusting.

You should probably know if you quoted yourself.

Turned to be BBQ pork that wasn't real good.

Nice! You may have a competitor by my house and employer here in CR. They seem pretty small though because I don't see much coming and going from there other than when they randomly show up with engine nacelles.

Checked my bank account online this morning. Noticed a strange DEPOSIT on 7/25 in Clive Iowa. $370.00 credit to my account. Thought and pondered... No, I wasn't in Clive on 7/25. No, I wasn't expecting any credit/returns to that account.

Clicked on it and there were two checks totally $370 written by people I don't know to a person I don't know.

Called the 800 number. "Spanish.... Options... Other... Would you like to open an account? Blah blah blah." Decided I didn't want to wait on the line for 20 minutes for a mistake THEY made. Saw a "Contact Us" and sent off an email.

Just checked. 6 hours later they still haven't fixed it. Did get two automated emails apologizing for my inconvenience and providing me a 9 digit case number to give them should I want to contact them about the issue (Ha Ha).
