How about a different set of buttons.

 

Helpful - resolved a problem, helped me make a decision, gave me a good idea

Agree - concur with your opinion/recommendation

Pointless - waste of time or off topic

 

Maybe we also need a Funny button to separate out those reactions.

 

It would be really interesting to periodically see which users get the most reactions in each category.  I'm pretty sure the Pointless category would match my list of ignored users.

 

Me likee.

Definitely time for a “Now THAT’s funny!” button.

Even though a thread is locked the thanks , like OT buttons are still active , any chance to stop this too? Not much point if a thread is locked, the horse has bolted.

So adding more buttons will detract from the ability to push buttons?  I think this is all nonsense and finger wagging.  About a predominantly self created problem.  Why not see this through to it's eventual end. 

 

If only there was some indelible way of surreptitiously identifying the premier members here.  Well since that isn't possible.  Gosh, I guess they will have to cede their prominence requires special notice in the most unavoidable fashion.  If it just wasn't for the site owner who consistently brushes off these types of GORT'ish ideals!

 

Oh well, I will just have to anoint myself as an internet king to salve the pain.

I would like to suggest a new section for this website: "Amplifiers and preamps."

 

I am surprised that Computer Audiophile does not have this section.

 

I may be in the market soon for new speakers and a solid state amp.  So, I looked around on this site for information about amps.  Sure, search is an option but I don't like that way to find my way around on CA.

I agree. It's coming.

If we're in the mood for adding further sections, might I suggest something like "System Integration and Tweaking"?

I ran into something I have never seen before ...

With all the rain we've had here in Austin, I've had all kinds of critters crawling out of the wood work. Case in point, here's a pair I caught slithering around my deck:

 

 

The upper one is a Dutch Lush^2, new to these parts, while the lower one is a grizzled veteran JSSG 360 Lush^1, with a few battle scars.  

 

Burn in has begun.

 

Clicking on that picture implies a Login screen for Google (account) when doing that in Opera.

When clicking on the picture in Chrome and (an older version of) IE, this appears :

 

 

I can imagine that it is related to the origin and how @austinpopcreated the picture (and took the photo). Or maybe those snakes are too dangerous for real ?

This may be my bad, Peter. I posted a link to my Google photos, whereas I should have first gotten a "shareable" link first, and then used that. I'm surprised it shows at all, even in the thumbnail on the post.

 

Please go back to the post on the Lush^2 thread, and tell me if it works now. I redid it.

 

Although - I'm not sure I want anyone to see the expanded photo. It just leads to unsolicited advice. Apparently, @Ralf11 wants me to stain my deck now.

Yes, all fine now. Sorry for the interruption in this thread.

 better audio power supplies seems like a worthwhile separate topic.

@The Computer Audiophile I don't suppose there's any way to hide the arrow target in the bottom right hand corner? It gets in my way and I have a Home key if I should need to go to the top of the page (which I rarely do, since I've already read it).

You'll have to do it with custom css. If you use Chrome you can install the Stylish extension and use the following code:

 

.scroll-top-wrapper {
    display: none;
}

Use Stylus instead. Stylish has been taken over by a spyware company.

Last night I noticed how much the delay after hitting submit reply has improved.  Most posts publish instantly.  Even the ones it thinks about are only a few seconds now.  Just so you didn't think I took this for granted after registering it as a negative awhile back.  Let it be duly noted the upgrade was appreciated.

Thanks rando. Still more tweaks to go and another update to make it much better.

Hi,

Using firefox and ublock (ad blocker) which is turned off, and i regularly get the ad blocker message.

 

I sometimes get the cloud error stating it is the CA server - infrequent.

Same here. All activity streams are empty, both standard and custom.

[The Computer Audiophile]

Problem with Elasticsearch caused Activity Stream issue. Should be back to normal now.
