  Re: New spotlight weights
 
(...) I think I agree. (...) I'm not sure I like this idea - here we are all AFOLs, I see no reason to treat official TLC announcements any different. If we get the rankings right, there should be no need. (...) I would be fairly strongly against (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New spotlight weights( was Re: LDraw shortcut images in FTX
 
(...) The weights today are global, there is no facility for an admin to adjust weights on a post other than by voting him or herself (or not voting). Nor do I think there should be one. I honestly enjoy some of the debating and whatnot too, but you (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New spotlight weights( was Re: LDraw shortcut images in FTX
 
(...) Huh! So-- if Jake made an announcement about, say, new bulk pack sets in "klassik grey" (or if new colors were switched back to old) and posted to .announce, .color, and .lego, the net result would be a -1 default? I think I like all of the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)  
 
  New spotlight weights( was Re: LDraw shortcut images in FTX
 
(...) There will no doubt be a formal announcement for this, well, maybe this is it. Here are what I think the current weights are: [ ".announce" => 2 ], [ ".moc" => 3 ], # Net effect +5 [ ".admin" => -1 ], [ ".off-topic" => -1 ], [ ".debate" => -4 (...)

  Re: LDraw shortcut images in FTX
 
(...) I believe (as ROSCO mentinoed) that these FTX shortcuts use the Partsref pictures, which have not been updated at least for a 2-3 years, and afaik, there is currently no plan to continue updateing them. (...) Interesting. Cool even! That would (...) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New Newsgroup Please
 
(...) OK, just to confirm, you've been using lugnet.robotics for this (not lugnet.robotics.rcx)? I guess what's maybe not generally known is that lugnet.robotics.rcx is actually a newsgroup and not just a hierarchy. Its charter specifically includes (...)

  Re: LDraw shortcut images in FTX
 
(...) I believe the LDrawPart macro uses images from the Lugnet parts reference, which isn't always up-to-date with the latest official library. Solution is to either get it up to date, or change the macro to use the images from ldraw.org. ROSCO (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  LDraw shortcut images in FTX
 
why does this (the shortcut for a skeleton) work: [LDrawPart 6260c01:15] [LDrawPart 6260c01:15] but this(the shortcut for the train wheel holder, wheels and axle completel assembly) doesn't: [LDrawPart 2878c01:0] [LDrawPart 2878c01:0] nor does this (...)

  Re: New Newsgroup Please
 
(...) I've sent a note to the rest of the transition team for their awareness. Speaking personally, it seems a reasonable request. lugnet.robotics.firmware? lugnet.robotics.rcx.firmware? The former is more general in case other firmwares are (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  New Newsgroup Please
 
I'd like to create a new robotics newsgroup for the new RCX replacement firmware. if you agree, can you make this happen please? Right now, I've been posting on lugnet.robotics but I've had some feedback about the messages being too long. Apparently (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: Spotlight statistics
 
(...) I think it's been here for quite a while. Ever since Todd redid how article ranking worked, I think. I use it all the time to try to figure out how popular certain articles are (as in, "why is THIS article at the top of the pile right now?" (...) (20 years ago, 18-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Changing the flag?
 
Hi, when I subscribed I lived in France, so I have a French flag next to my name. Now I'm in Germany and would like to change that, but it seems that I can't. I guess that normally I would get a german flag, but can I have an EU flag? Jürgen PS: (...) (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
