| | | I get the general impression that the number of registered users / members is growing day-by-day. However, I get no real feeling that there are more (in terms of numbers) people posting here or that the total numbers of posts is dramatically rising. (...)

| | | | | This is very interesting when compared with (URL) I never did get around to working on that more. I should update it with more recent data.... (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | | | | Re: Growth —Todd Lehman
|
| | | | | | | (...) Yes, the first form is supposed to work -- and I think the problem you're seeing with it is the first ever reported. I'm not surprised, though, because it's technically kind of "dangerous" (or "iffy") to use colons in URLs, because they're (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | | | | (...) Ah, figured it out, if I cut and paste it it works. The whole URL is highlighted in the news article, so I think NS 3.0 has a bug in clicking on the link from the news article. Clicking on the "view raw" link from the HTML version works also (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Hmm, if I right click and select "Open this link" it puts the right URL into a browser window, but still gets (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | | | | Re: Growth —Todd Lehman

| | | | | | | | (...) I probably didn't explain it right... The example that you give above works, but something like (URL) because it thinks that song.mp3 is the port number. Other failures include (URL) it would try to connect on port 100. As Todd pointed out, (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | | | | (...) Yah, I mentioned this a long time ago (URL) but no one cared. :) The ':' character (unlike '~', which is merely unsafe) is labeled "reserved". Like '/' or '?', it is only supposed to be used in certain ways. So really, xmms is doing the right (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| | | | | | Re: Growth —Frank Filz
|
| | | | | (...) Where do you see a downward trend? Excepting September 1999, when I compare the traffic for a given month in 1999 with the traffic for the same month in 2000, I consistently see the 2000 traffic as higher. In fact, in general, I see the same (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
