Rant about your users here
-
We don't have such a thread yet, don't we?
I got an e-mail today of a very angry user complaining she couldn't send an e-mail with an attachment and she demanded to know why.

Sending movies via e-mail... weary shaking of head

I was worried initially that this would be ranting about users here; turns out it's ranting about users[b],[/b] here
-
I'll admit it was a bit ambiguous. As if I would dare to complain about users here! Added the comma to be on the safe side.
-
I was gonna write a rant about a random WTDWTF user here. But I was too slow, and couldn't find anyone to rant about. So now I've given up, but I leave this comment just so you know I thought of it first and how epic it would have been had I made it.
-
and couldn't find anyone to rant about
there seem to be enough rant-worthy users around, no?
Or you could pic a random mod and complain why he isn't doing his job.

I wanted to find a recently joined lurker. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to just get a list of users on the forums. None that I could find.

How about http://what.thedailywtf.com/badges/166/3-0-posts ?

Yeah but a bunch of these are like last seen back in 2006. I'd really like them sorted by joined date.
Can your fancy Discourse do that, @Maciejasjmj? Huh!? HUH!?
NO OF COURSE NOT!
Yet you keep shilling for discourse again and again, thread after thread.
STOP IT! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR BULLSHIT!
And what the fuck is the deal with your stupid nickname!?
"Uuuu I'm such a special little snowflake, look how little I care about my nickname"
###WELL YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO HAS TO TYPE THAT SHIT AGAIN AND AGAIN, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!
##GET A PROPER NICKNAME, YOU DICK!
Gah!

OK, now it's ranting about users here
-
I'm a recently-joined lurker. It'd be interesting to see if there's anything rant-worthy about my very occasional posts.

That depends. Which door is Monty Hall hiding behind?
-
Possibly the one with the goat in a car. I'd have to open at least one to get a better idea.
I feel like I'm missing the joke here.

I suggest cyber-harinezumis wit complicated gender situations.
Or rats that don't know how to be happy.

It's not that complicated
-
It's difficult to tell the gender of a hedgehog at a glance[1].
[1] Probably. I haven't come across many hedgehogs that I've needed to identify the gender of.
-
-
Every day I learn unexpected things that might, someday, come in handy.
Male hedgehogs also have an internal penis, that extends from the sheath when they are excited. This is a long slim often mottled in color appendage that can be quite startling to people who aren't aware of what they are seeing
-
Why does your post explaining his joke have more likes that his joke? Are those users who missed the flag button and accidentally hit like instead?
Filed under: insert rant about users who like stuff here
Also filed under: or am I wrong for thinking that should be a whoosh?
-
So you'r not even a proper lurker, then?
-
It might be they're linking it with my earlier post
-
I used to be a lurker, but then I joined to clarify a post about Lua that it's likely nobody else cared about.
-
See, that's a post I almost liked because I could relate and it was funny... I thought the same thing and you were faster. Good job, I guess.
I am not psychic enough to know when there will be topics I misinterpret and then want to talk about right away.Filed under: bored and my train is about an hour late, sorry
It is also really hot today!! Ask the other Germans

No, but you missed a chance at the username "choomster".

About 28°C here in Berlin outside. 32°C inside -.-

Until now I had no idea how close my name is to a slang term for smoking weed.

Until the current president came along I didn't either.

Well, yeah, after what happened to his daughter...

I never said Jon Germans could not reply. So your reply has been acknowledged
Filed under: way too hot

According to my phone, I guess?
Filed Under: Autocorrect is a to posts being correct.

there seem to be enough rant-worthy users around
We also have enough rants by worthy users around (usually about said rant-worthy users)

Oh yes. >30°C. It felt like my shoes were on fire.

My company's product is resold by another company. One of the features is viewing PDF forms; we have a PDF we wrote that contains an image of the form; you click a link in your browser that has obfuscated data in the query string, containing the form field values. JS in the PDF de-obfuscates the query string, parses out the fields, and puts the data into the fields of a form drawn over the image.
A couple of years ago, someone found out that Chrome's built-in PDF viewer didn't JS, so we had to tell people that Chrome wasn't supported for this feature. By last year Google had added JS functionality into their viewer, so we began officially supporting it.
An IT guy from our vendor just told me a customer's seeing blank forms. I ask for version of IE and PDF viewer and Windows. Customer replies "IE and Adobe 11. Oh, and we found out it works in Chrome so we're OK". All right. I tell IT guy it would be nice to know what version of windows, and the overview above, so we can maybe try to fix the probem. Customer snarkily replies "as you can see if you scroll down in the emails, it's server 2008 and windows 7."
Oh, funny, that didn't make it into the emails *I* saw. I'm kinda washing my hands of it, though, except to say "it's probably a security setting somewhere turning off JS", if that's his attitude.

Fun. It's about that hot today here in Dallas. Will break 40C soon. (I forget if I mentioned this, but I recently read an article that said in Houston they called 2007 the year without a summer, because it didn't break 35C until August.
-
-
And that's why I don't live in Dallas anymore.
Meh, I don't actually mind, at least once the humidity dies down.
Hell is winter in Wisconsin, which is really too bad, because, similar to San Dimas, Wisconsin's not too bad except for all the damn liberals.

So how big was the movie anyway? I've seen 650 MB by internal e-mail (it was sendmail). It went through without a hitch. As soon as I saw it I initiated a change to limit mail to 20 MB, of course, with reasons like "mail storage is getting too much" and "when people try to send these monsters outside they bounce and it gets even worse".

That's a DL DVD. A DL Blu-Ray is probably around 50,which is even scarier.

There's no data! Why is there no data? I need my data!
@boomzilla said:
You set the filtering dates far in the future. Do you actually have data for those dates?

Oh.
Post can't be empty, but user's head can be.
