Why don't we make a count system for Karma as well? It would certainly make the whole thing a lot funnier.

This post was brought to you by a genuine asshole.
Mostly, because that would involve recoding large chunks of the forum, and neither Damaris nor Darkmoon nor Bill nor RJ nor Amber have the free time to do such work.

At least some of them, if not all of them, lack the specialised coding skills sucha  task would require.

And the number of requests for such a thing stands at 1. Which makes demand slightly lower than for, say, some of the emoticons.


Just my 2p.

Yah yah. Maybe not all of us are computer nerds who know or bother with such things and would appreciate that you not be so bloody demeaning about it. It was a suggestion, nothing else. I'm not the one being irritating here. So bite down, count to ten and put down the coffee.

Sorry, it wasn't intended to be demeaning (that's kept for elsewhere, ok :-) merely answering the question.

I *could* leave that to the mods, but they've got enough else to do, I figure, and I -have- looked at the code. It's... not exactly straightforward. And this is coming from someone who routinely writes incestuous, self-referential stuff than makes strong men weep...


It was intended as a clear, concise answer, though, not anything else.

I have finally become that which I hate.


Most annoying enemy ever....

Damaris

plus, Stygian- we would have just said:

No.

Llearch was much more in-depth about the whole thing.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel that if you explain -why- you're saying no, people may, if you're really lucky, learn something.

Of course, I'm not spending all my time working on administering the forum, so my spare energy, as it were, is a bit higher... :-)


Plus, I've looked at the code. :-) I keep meaning to have another look at it, and see if I can't hammer it into spreading the javascript out into a seperate file. And the css, if there's any of that. That sort of thing tends to lower the load on the server somewhat...

Darkmoon

Most of the CSS should be in a separate file... but knowing some of the fixes I've had to put into it over time, I'm sure there's a couple of stray bits...
