Post subject: | Compsci.ca Glitch? |
For some reason, when I come to compsci.ca now, the site looks really weird. ![]() It didn't do this 5 minutes ago, so maybe the admins are fixing/tweaking something. I was just wondering if it was me, or if it looked like this for everyone. |

Russian, with Russian characters, is spam even if it IS a legit compsci-related post. This is an English forum, and more than that, it is a Canadian forum, not international. If the admins can't read it, it's spam. |

Post subject: | RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? |
No no no, we were rather almost on topic. We were establishing which languages people can speak on these forums that require Unicode support. So far French and German suffer from this, whilst Gibberish seems okay to go. However I'm not sure about everyone's feelings on that, seeing as how most people frown on topics started in Gibberish. So all in all, my conclusion is that SniperDude's theory of an English only forum is correct. |

Close USEC_OFFICER, but your translation is a little off. In the context you put, NASDFE!!!! is typically spelled with just three exclamation points. These small differences could not only compromise the intended message, but also make yourself sound silly at formal dinner parties. |

Turing_Gamer, that is a common misconception. Trolls actually do not speak Gibberish. Trolls do not have a language, and their myriad grunts and guttural sounds have no real meaning. |

Warhammer is what's called a real hobby. Something you put time and effort into and then feel proud when you know you've done a great job. A much better use for money and time than video games. I've got hundreds of minis worth thousands of dollars. And they were worth every penny. |

Warhammer is actually cheaper than most hobbies especially typical gamer hobbies. I am thinking about magic the gathering which requires constant update of cards. Warhammer you make it all yourself and as for time time spent on something you like doing is always worth it, unless you are doing it for the wrong reasons. |

@andrew: As it is, posts alternate between two very similar colours (if you're on a CRT you probably won't be able to tell; find a good LCD and the difference is visible). He's probably using GreaseMonkey (see the monkey head in the lower right) to apply a different style to the alternate posts. |

Author: | Dan [ Sun Feb 21, 2010 12:02 pm ] |
Post subject: | RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? |
The color is due to using a different style (see the style drop down at the bottom of the site) however for me using IceCat on Linux the style still shows the time of the post. I suspect that there is something wrong with the date format you selected in your account settings, i will look into it. Update: It looks like you have a date format selected ("February 21st 2010") that does not have a time and just the date. To fix this, go to your "user control panel", select "Profile Settings" and change your date format to something with a time like "February 21st 2010, 4:02 am". |

Thanks, changing the setting worked. Seems putting the 'at' is just a grammatical mistake on the forum's part (no check included?). For the alternating colours I'm using the "subEmjay" theme the site has. If you scroll to the very bottom of the page (should work on any page here) you will find a combobox with different themes available. |
