Jud Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 3 hours ago, wgscott said: I agree. I also suggest going in the opposite direction some of the others suggest: Eliminate all of the button-click up-votes, off-topic badges, etc. They are all being abused by people who want to reward their friends (people they agree with) and punish people who have the temerity to disagree with them with the off-topic button. These badge-buttons can be manipulated to such an extent that they rapidly become meaningless. In the absence of the non-verbal button-pressing option, people at least have to articulate why they agree or disagree with something. It leads to a more meaningful and intelligent conversation. Assuming the original idea was to allow people to rapidly find the more valuable posts in a thread, I wonder if raising the number of favorable reactions required to “go green” would at least present readers with fewer such comments to look at. I’m in agreement that seeing reactions in the activity stream by default is distracting rather than valuable to me.

A fair (though I would think incorrect) comment, but seeing an upvote for it to me illustrates what I think is the primary problem with the system as a way to assess which comments have value. At least for me, the valuable comments are those that provide information I didn’t know. So we ought to see bunches of upvotes in the Q&A section, fewer in threads where more heated arguments take place. Yet of course it tends to be just the opposite.

Jud Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have 2-step verification on my account when accessing by mobile. Currently on Safari on iPhone I can't log in - Face ID comes up, fills in my username and password, then the entry doesn't "take" and I'm back out at the login screen. Another browser (Cake) presents me with a manual login (no Face ID), then I'm taken to the screen to fill in the verification code, which works. Thoughts? Possibly something on my end (I'm running a beta iOS version, so it's not impossible Face ID is misbehaving in some way)?

Most browsers have an option to increase size but not one to reduce it, or I'd be using it on many sites. Vivaldi has a convenient page zoom that dials in or out, and more detailed settings specifically for font size. It's quite respectful of user privacy. Built on Chromium, in case that's a no-go for you. Edit: As boomers age, the Web is going to go to bigger fonts as a commercial accommodation, so I think it's something we're going to start seeing a lot of. This site specifically I'm sure skews toward an older demographic than the Web-at-large. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Popular Post Jud Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 It's very obvious that Alex will always reply to particular kinds of posts. There are other folks who can't seem to stop themselves being the other side of the argument. Meanwhile, on another forum in which he was involved, Alex led a drive to raise money for another member whose child had cancer. I'll say that because it appears Alex would never praise himself that way. So: here, endless arguments (though you'll notice even here Alex is a wealth of knowledge on DIY matters if you look); there, a pillar of the community.
