  Re: // and ** vs {} and [] (was: testing in rtl...)
 
(...) I see. With extensive modifications, I assume? I'm sure there's a way to link libperl.so to CNews but that could be unweildy to say the least. (...) Sorry I can't view the FTX results of that on my browser. But I assume that's right. (...) I (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  top-posting (was: posting oddities)
 
(...) I'll do you even one better than that. Instead of moving your text to the bottom automatically and telling you that it has done this, it now simply tells you that you're going against netiquette by top-posting and it *suggests* that you move (...)

  Re: Badges, buttons, and the like...
 
(...) Has it done weird stuff before? Like on your desktop? (...) Ya, there is, but if the second HTTP POST comes in before the first one has had a chance to stuff a copy of the article in the "recently posted" area, then the test for duplicity in (...)

  Re: Badges, buttons, and the like...
 
(...) Maybe that's my haywire mouse - the wiring's a bit screwy in it. Isn't/wasn't there a double-posting filter? -Tim (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
 
  Re: Badges, buttons, and the like...
 
(...) Huh...me too. The webserver log shows a GET at 23:18:05 EST (that's clicking the Reply button), followed by a POST returning 12685 bytes at 23:18:51 (that's probably the Preview button), followed by 2 POSTS both returning 3023 bytes both at (...)

  Re: Badges, buttons, and the like...
 
(...) I wonder why this double-posted? I don't recall hitting post twice. -Tim (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) CNews. (...) Doesn't that look a bit redundant? /italics/ and *boldface* What do underlined underlines look like? Like this?-- _N_ew _E_ngland _L_EGO _U_sers _G_roup Not sure how either any of those are an improvement. --Todd (21 years ago, 3-Jun-03, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.admin.nntp, FTX)

(...) What NNTP server do you use? I was under the impression that it was written in Perl itself. [...] (...) How about a different interpretation - // and ** (and don't forget __ for underlining) might not be interpreted the same as the {} and [] (...)

  Re: posting oddities (was: <dcx is cool!>
 
(...) Yah. (...) By adding something at the bottom that doesn't look like a sig (i.e., something that doesn't begin with "-- "). Would you prefer a button-clickie or something to override it and say, "Yes, thank you, I know what I'm doing and I (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

(...) How does it work now? Based on what the previous post was set to? That usually makes sense I guess, I just got bit by it. (...) in 7487...
