Complete with Milla Basset playing 'Peek-a-boo' round the window, just for @blakeyrat :)

What would you write? They probably had some description field somewhere that needed to be filled out.

Is it sad that I assumed that was IE and was going to note that the ? icon went away in newer versions.
Did I mention they were rolling out IE11 in our office today and managed to somehow fail to update some computers. Twice. With forced reboots both times, even on computers that had IE11.

Don't understand what is wrong with nice tooltips, even if they are sometimes a bit "duh!".
-
Well, tooltips are meant to provide extra info, not state the bloody obvious :)
-
What does a question mark mean in this context?
-
If the tooltip simply said 'Help', that'd be fine. It's the fact it then goes on to also say 'Get help' that's TRWTF.
-
nitpick that nobody has ever cared about ever .. except for you.

The guy who wrote that probably thought the same thing, but was confronted with corporate standards that require a heading/body type thing.

Strict standards forcibly applied to asinine situations are the breeders of many WTFs since prehistoric times.

Get help using <CoolApp>
There. Problem solved.
No, it's not more helpful than "Get help" (and somewhat less frank, but that's beside the point), but at least it fills the tooltip-shaped void in our heart.
-
Well, it's Explorer, and thus I might have gone with "Get help for Explorer" but that's minor.

Hey Lucas, even I, the king of dicks, think you're kind of a dick. Tone it down.

No

Someone is trying to unseat @blakeyrat as King of the Assholes.

It's like JavaDoc.
/** * Frobs the widget. * * @param widgetToFrob A widget to frob. * @return Frobbed widget. */ public FrobbedWidget FrobWidget(Widget widgetToFrob) { (...) }

At least Blakey is funny sometimes.

Or unass him as King of the Seatholes?

If you go to the Badges page, you'll discover the sole Good Share badge links to a post right before one of his--or maybe it's actually his. The badge page shows eviltrout, but if you click the link, Discoursistency might cause either post to actually show.
At any rate, at his post, he utters the immortal words " I'm here because I like the users here".
So now we know. He can refuse to like any posts until the Sun goes nova, but it's right there.

I think that's because it counts who shared the post.

I've said before that including your actual username there is a retarded default, but oh well.

From what little I've seen of the schema, I think your username is all there is--I didn't see any kind of numeric identity field that could've been used instead.
-
So I can give blakey share badges by attaching his name to the end of a link!
-
there is a user id number. I'm #671.
-
there is a user id number.
Hmm. I'm not going to go back and look but I would swear that PJH was showing a table called user_visits yesterday that only had a user name, even though the field was called "user_id".
I did say "from what little I've seen of the schema".
-
well it's not necessarily in every table.... ;-)
-
well it's not necessarily in every table
If you have both a username and a userid, it is absolutely insane to use BOTH of them as foreign keys, so naturally I assumed there was only the name.
-
well yes, but this is discourse.
I'm actually assuming that it's user ID in the tables, but some or most of the views join in the user table and just show username

*his = @Blakeyrat if I'm not mistakenReminds me of the new 2011 Thundercats episode where Panthro (picture a football-player-type panther cat if you didn't see the series) reluctantly agrees to give a bear a hug (to a Robear Burble bear), to which the Thunderkittens say "Busted!" "Panthro's a big ol' softy!" Panthro, menacing voice: "You got a problem with that?!?" Kittens: GULP "Nope!" "It's cool!" ZOOM

Yes, because it wouldn't be remarkable if @eviltrout did.

As far as I've come across, user_id is predominant in all the tables I've used. ?u=username is the only instance I've seen the name being used. (In fact I've had to go to pains in most of the queries I've posted on here to include
users
in order to display the usernames.)

Ah, I didn't realize that you were doing that.

Ah, I didn't realize that you were doing that.
It's an extra join to pull in the
users
table and typically takes the form of a single line of my queries of:JOIN users u ON u.id = uv.user_id
and including
username
in the initial select thus:SELECT u.username, user_id, 0 post_id, current_timestamp granted_at, count(user_id) FROM user_visits uv JOIN users u ON u.id = uv.user_id WHERE date_trunc('day',uv.visited_at) >= date_trunc('day', now() - interval '31 day') GROUP BY user_id, u.username HAVING count(user_id) >= 31

Sorry about that ... I shouldn't drink after a bad day at work.

In Windows 7, the tooltip is just "Get help". Yet another Win8 UI improvement!

See? By Windows One Two[1], it will probably have useful help.

Hmm, that's not how it used to work... That does give me wonderful, awful ideas, though.

No defacing the front page of the main site please... You all know how well that went down with Alex last time, and it almost resulted in accounts getting suspended permanently.
