Yeah, just got that for the first time. Well if there is no way to turn that off, I will be gone from this place.

You can turn the notifications off in Settings - User Tagging.

Someone should get an alert if you quote yourself.

Tagging? This should make vv and just about no one else happy.


Still no power. ****ing incompetents.

At least it's not winter. No heat would be worse. Spent a fascinating weekend like that in Albany.

Hope you get your power back soon.

WhyFi 06-24-13 04:09 PM

Don't need power for heat. That would be punishable by death incompetence in MN.

Hmm. In Albany, our thermostat was electric. Dead without power, so no heat to the apartment. And, of course, not allowed to use kerosene heater. That was a miserable weekend. I felt worst for my cat.

WhyFi 06-24-13 04:18 PM

People in Albany aren't smart enough to use thermostats with batteries? Jezuz.

Bah Humbug 06-24-13 04:24 PM

Apparently, because no power = no heat. With 40-something hours of outage due to... an ice storm. Friday afternoon into Sunday morning. It was under 20* for much of that time. And you guys know how I feel about cold.

And we weren't the only ones without heat as a result; AFD had heating stations for senior citizens, which didn't happen on days colder than that WITH power.

Dannihilator 06-24-13 04:26 PM

Storming here right now.

patentcad 06-24-13 04:30 PM

Mt. Doom is under a massive ****storm right now. You know the kind of Tstorm cells that generate tornados. Hard for tornados to get going here, too hilly, it's one ridge after another here locally (we live on the top of one of the larger ones).

Inspiration from Soloist Assassin, huh?

Yeah, you said something like that about SRAM.

Also, whenever somebody quotes you in their reply, you get a notification.

Anything to complicate what was a good system. It just means the database has to whirl away even harder to collect the data for each page.

Why oh why do software developers think we need more when we don't.

Oh yeah, they have to justify their pay, don't they, otherwise they'd be doing nothing for it.

About the only time my Notification turns yellow is a bad-boy message from the moderators. Sends a dose of adrenalin through the system every time... even when it's not a mod. I'll have to investigate how to turn off Notifications except for PMs.

Believe it or not, these useless features aren't driven by developers. Typically, some management drone thinks it sounds like a good idea or wants another bullet point so they can have a longer list than the competitor. No salaried developer gets to choose what to add to the software.
