Chrome, why you do this?

And then they can get in nonconstructive arguments for when you just don't have the energy.
Clippy1: "Hey it looks like you're writing a resume"
Clippy2: "It's not a resume, it's a design document"
Clippy1: "No it's resume. His name's at the top, dumbass!"
Clippy2: "Yeah, next to 'author', fucktard! How do you still have a job?"
Clippy1: "Look, man, it's not even your shift so just let me..."
Clippy2: "IT'S ALWAYS CLIPPY'S SHIFT!!!!"
Clippy3: "Guys, guys! We can't demonstrate this kind of dysfunction in front of the user!"
Clippy2: "YOU WANT A PIECE OF THIS!?!"
Clippy4: "Call 911! Someone call 911!"
Clippy5: (cuts telephone cord)
Clippy6: "The phone's dead!"
Clippy4: "Fuck! We're all dead!"
Clippy2: "AAARRRRGGGG!!!!!"
Clippy7: "No, not my trachea! I need that!"
Clippy8: "Here, you can borrow mine."
Clippy3: "Everyone just stay calm!"
Clippy1: "I'm not even supposed to be here today"
Clippy7: "Ah, that's better" (takes deep breath)
Clippy8: "gooogkkg ggroogkgkg"
Clippy9: (sees what's going on, immediately powers down his machine and goes home)
Clippy3: "What am I going to tell the boss?"
Clippy5: "They laughed at me. Who's laughing now?"
Clippy2: "WHAT HAVE I DONE!? I'M A MONSTER!"
Clippy9: (on phone) ...yeah, chinese sounds good...
Clippy8: "gggloogg - I think I need that back"
Microsoft Bob: "I knew I should have just outsourced"At this point, your screen is full of clippys and you lose the will to live.
After five minutes, a "Nuke" button appears. On hover, all the Clippies scream "NOOOOO!" After clicking, you hear the whistle of a falling bomb, and see the mushroom cloud blossom on your screen. Once the explosion clears, the forum is there, a little singed. You can see a few clippy-shaped blast shadows, but the forum itself survived. You continue on.

You do know you can change it off of "Watching" at the bottom of the topic, right? They only set it to Watching automatically because you made the topic.
No, I don't know why they do.
Because Jeff reasons.

Oh, right, I forgot there's a difference between "watching" a topic and "tracking" a topic.
Filed under: one you do on your couch, and the other in the woods?

This seems reasonable to me. It's his topic, so presumably he's really interested in it. This also happens if you star a topic.
-
I never even noticed starring. So we have:
- Liking a post
- Bookmarking a post
- Starring a topic
Anything else?
-
This also happens if you star a topic.
I just tried it, and either:
- It doesn't
- It does if you do it to a topic that wasn't switched to a different notification level at any time (which, for me, means "no topics to test on")
This seems reasonable to me
But not to me. I would figure it to be something that'd be great as an option.

Unless it's a forum where the chances of on-topic discussion after about 30 posts are exactly zero.
-

And why are those controls at the very bottom of the topic. You have to get all the way to the end to use them? Why not just put them on the almost completely empty blue bar at the top of the screen?
-

Jeff says: Read the topic.

Because they don't want to clutter the blue bar and confuse the users. Jeff and Sam's words, not mine. Just CBA to find reference.
-
a long time ago
Then it may have been removed since. Only way to find out would be to ask on meta.d, I guess.
-
What I would do is try to write the forum core in a very object-oriented manner with plenty of hooks to attach callbacks that do additional formatting, emit additional HTML, check for security, and other stuff. Basically the core is just a plugin system. Then the majority of basic forum features are developed as plugins so we'd be dogfooding our own plugin API, finally we'd hopefully have something that's easily extensible in a hopefully non-WTF way.
Wow, you sound so hopeful.
I can't wait for reality to crush your spirit.
When it does, can you post a picture of the look on your face?
-

Oh, look, there is a star control on the blue bar, next to the logo.
I never noticed - maybe because it's light-gray and light-blue-gray.

Well my other idea is a C# Unity app that requires the Oculus Rift, where each forum is a building on some fantasy campus, each topic is a hallway in a door inside a building, and each post is a picture frame hanging on the hallway. Moderators can ban users by physically grabbing them and dragging them to a jail cell, and we can improve flamewars by adding a few FPS features like flamethrowers and heatsuits.

Add the ability to rape people and I'm on board.
*Context intentionally omitted.
-
The NSFW sextion (typo intentionally left because it's kinda funny) can be in a building stylized like an old Japanese Geisha house, with bouncers that check your ID before you enter.
-
But more than least the blue strip is acquirable visually all along the topic's length so star-ness can be actuated less the loss of placement...
...
...?

Is that Jeff, approaching the likes thread?

Get the fuck out. Now.

And cross-linking posts is done with a portal gun.dragging them to a jail cellthrowing them out the window,

So in this hypothetical app, do you sit in a chair and have a controller, wheelchair style, or are you expecting to have somewhere to walk around to perform this?
UI not very effective.

And still, this feature makes no damn sense. If they actually used the rest of the address bar for something, instead of placeholder text... But nope, just hiding stuff from the user, because... uh...
... it makes users more likely to use Google search instead of typing URLs, thereby increasing Google's ad revenue.
-
This is awesome, but it's 500 dollars. That's more than the rift costs!

I think I saw those guys go on the Shark Tank.
IRCC most of them weren't impressed. Robert tried it and said he'd buy one but didn't invest.
Then again, I wasn't paying much attention to the TV, so I might be wrong.
-
Given the propensity of people to do stupid shit anyway, I fail to see this being a problem. One of the top ranked searches on Google is 'google', along with 'facebook'.
-
-
Mine's better, I get
http://10.0.0.1 login
as a possible option in place of Facebook.
-
I'm sick of web browsers trying to guess when the URL is actually a search term because they always get it wrong. https://someLocalMachine:8080/appName for some reason always results in a web search instead of navigating to where I actually want.
-
I find if I put the protocol in myself, the browser tends to get the hint. But I invariably have everything as 'localhost' so... dunno.

Confirming it works with IPs and local domains as well.

This pisses me off sometimes... typing in some numbers to search occasionally gets google thinking I wanted my numbers converted to IP format and it tries to navigate to the IP form of them.

Odd, I usually have the opposite thing happen.
Type in "server/" so that it goes to the default page on "server" instead of searching for "server"
-
opposite of what? I was talking about numbers. I can't repro now apparently though, but I just know the next time I try to look up a product SKU, i'll end up with chrome trying to load that sku as an IP address.
In your case, I think there's a setting for having chrome interpret single words as sites by default, or as a search by default. Or maybe that's IE. hell i don't remember.
-
Works the same with numbers. 192.168.1.5 versus 192.168.1.5/ or whatever.
-
I still don't follow... typing both
192.168.1.5
and192.168.1.5/
in my Chrome URL bar do the exact same thing. Are you saying that the first one does a search for you and not navigation?
-
At home, yeah. Here at work.....just tried it, it attempts navigation.

If you already accessed that IP before it uses the history entry IIRC.
