Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I find the order in which UBB sorts the topics to be amusing. Psuedo-chronological. Thought you might be interested Drakey. Not bothering to include it here, as it is a screen print which was not resized to preserve the material. This began happening after I discovered and began using the "next" button for navigating between topics.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah, that was my reaction too. I figure it's just UBB being UBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I just click on each topic individually. Anyway else is sure to cause quirks on UBB. Man, even the software at CSM avoid most of these, but fails to include member numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Sweet! I'm glad to see I had already appropriated the correct reaction to this issue. I shall continue to be amazed at the retro software and delighted that things generally work as they should. *this message, nay issue, is sponsored by free time and hands, and timex* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Um...your point? It looks to me like they are in order. So what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Look at the time of the last post in the "Family Guy!!!" topic, and then in the topic immediately above it. Notice something weird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Ohh. Didn't look at that one. I seen all the others, so I must of just thought that the hour (9) was an 8. EDIT: When I seen the name of this topic, I thought it was just a random newbie asking for the time so they could set their watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 t Spring - it is far more engaging to begin a unsolvable topic with the humor of an odd title that still gives an idea of the subject matter. I could have blamed a glitch, but there seemed to be nor harm, thus no foul. It was an odd thing, but it needed to be seen by Drakey in case it was symptomatic of a more serious problem. As to the newbie thing, well we each get to form our own opinions and read the words we choose. *this message sponsored by ubb - enriching lives one glitch at a time* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast ben4808 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Everywhere you go on UBB, there's a glitch, it seems like. But hey, we're posting here for free and having a good time, so we shouldn't complain too much. Until we turn to MM v.X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Some websites are alright, I've found. There are (as far as I know) not many errors with Polaris, but thats just because I have not found any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Other forums (like Polaris and Desp) have downtime - UBB just has glitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 But think of the fun we have when going down - suffering dramatic losses, trying to rescue whatever we can, and Logalot unavailable as always, because he never empties his mailbox - what's UBB compared to that?

Well-Actually War Trall Spring Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Ahhh, I forgot about those. Still, I would rather downtime than UBB on Polaris. I would not like my account eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Drew Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Was it Emerson who said, "Things are in the saddle, and ride mankind?" I imagine the same thing could be said for old posts. I for one an definitely not a fan of things or old baggage. Purges are both necessary and good, on occasion.

Easygoing Eyebeast Sir David Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Not unintentional ones in the middle of big projects/RP's, though. I think we got enough enjoyment out of the PPP's in response to intentional purges here; freaking out and searching frantically for saved topics and such and starting all over several times on Polaris was kind of a pain. And a few accounts eaten here and there is far better than all being eaten at once. Whatever faults UBB has, I feel that my account is safer on Spiderweb than on Polaris. Good thing, too, seeing how much bigger Spiderweb is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
