Meh, I am also one of the fraction that doesn't think that change is the worst thing in Discourse history.
Yeah, I'm not bothered so much by this. By the screenshot, I thought the notification bubbles were gone. But I went to meta, and had a blue bubble sitting over my avatar. It was pretty obvious at that point what was what. The notifications are my stuff, so it's not crazy to put them under my avatar.

CNR.

Actually, what you need to realize is that Jeff doesn't log out.
I don't think I need to realize that at all. Mr. High And Mighty Jeff needs to realize his workflow isn't the only valid one.
ETA: To be fair, I don't log out either, but I hate having options taken away.
-
No, nothing as drastic as that; you either have to go to your profile pages (and suffer the associated 5s+ waiting time), or use an undiscoverable keyboard shortcut
Cue the ALTF4 memes.

I'm sorry Kuro, but I cannot comply.
You are not authorized to give me direct orders.
Please contact a member of the forum staff, or my owner, @RaceProUK, for assistance in this matter

keyboard shortcut
FUCKING FUCK JESUS OF FUCK.
It's a forum. When I visit a forum, I don't want to learn how to use it. I don't want to learn Markdown. I don't want to learn keyboard shortcuts. I don't care about being "proficient" with the forum software. I don't want to have to find out what this forum software does differently. Fuck, I don't even give a shit what kind of forum software my forum runs.
When I visit a forum, I want to communicate my thoughts quickly and effectively, and all I require of the software is not to get in the way. I think Jeff and Co. are forgetting about this one simple thing.
-
Yeah, but logging out is not part of the Discourse WorkOverflow
-
It's a part of the workflow for quite a bunch of users.
Now, if the menu item is there, it hits the blind spot for most people, and those who need it can use it. If the menu item is not there, most people don't care, and those who need it are pissed.
Truth is, nobody cares about your software being oh-so-cool until it gets in the way of doing things, which is when people get pissed. For the vast majority of users, the fact that something is there when they don't need it is a total non-issue.
What they should be doing is minimizing the potential piss-off factors, not introducing them.

power users who have unusual needs
Logging out is a "power user" feature now. Also, everybody who uses a public computer is a "power user" by extension.
And that's it for today's portion of JeffFacts, stay tuned for the next episode...

you either have to go to your profile pages
Perfectly discoverable for new users.</sarcasm> He must have a Discourse FAQ ready for every forum (in addition to any FAQ that forum makes) and that should be question #1.
or use an undiscoverable keyboard shortcut
Totally viable on mobile. Oh, wait...

I completely forgot about that.
And seeming everyone else did, too.Nobody on meta.d gives a shit about mobile!

I ain't doing shit until the check clears.

Well, I did say we would pay you! (Though I didn't say how much)
Plus you could probably just advertise your youtube-channel and would still do a better PR-job than we are used to from Jeff!
Filed Under: Probably the best job you ever had!
-

i'm surprised you would accept a check.
I always thought of you as a cash in hand sort of person.
Learn something new every day we do.
-
Do you know what "check clears" even means?
Rhetorical question; obviously you do not.
-
Do you know what "check clears" even means?
I do actually, It means the bank has not only credited your account with the money for the check, btu has also received the money from the originating bank so that the check is valid and does not have to go through the annoyance of dealing with a bounced check (which i assume goes basically like "yeah that money wasn't in your account because they didn't have it to pay you, so we're removing it also here's a bounced check processing fee. HAND.)
That's rather why i was surprised you would take a check. You're trusting that it would clear in the first place. Cash can't bounce, nor can it be reversed like a wire can be (in certain circumstances and for a fee)

So remember, to use Discourse you must first master all the Keyboard shortcuts. You will need one of these:
[img]http://gordogato.com/oscommerce/catalog/images/zm_wordperfect5_keyboard_overlay_1.JPG[/img]Since the software is redesigned at will, and without warning, you will need to sign up for a Dickslop Keyboard Overlay Subscription. $9.95USD per month. A new one will be mailed to you as soon as they are available. NOTE: There is no guarantee that your Overlay will arrive in time, or before the next upgrade, or at all. But you're used to that by now.
If you want a convenient PDF for print-at-home-- go fuck yourself. You'll mess it up somehow. You're using the wrong paper weight! STOP IT! OMG WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO PRINT IT IN BLACK AND WHITE?!?! I don't care if it saves ink, the colors are part of the superuser experience!!! OMFG DON'T PRINT IT IN COLOR your ink tones are off, they're wrong, the colors are wrong WRONG WRONG stop it you're DOING IT WRONG!!!!
Okay, this is all wrong and none of you know how to use the software PROPERLY! From now on, all the layouts will comes with a UNIQUE CODE! When we mail you the overlay, your account will be LOCKED OUT! There will be a keyboard shortcut to reach the unlock screen, but you MUST use the keyboard overlay to discover that shortcut. And then you MUST enter the unique code on YOUR overlay to unlock YOUR account. You can't be trusted to use forum software with an OVERLAY and a MANUAL and TRAINING!

... right but if you wait for the check to clear, it's the same thing as cash-in-hand. That is the point. I'm saying I'm don't trust his checks. This is the joke.
Oh well.
-
I'm don't trust his checks. This is the joke.
if you don't trust his checks why are you depositing them when clearly they are going to bounce.
Car better in that case would be to have him make them out to
CASH
and cash them rather than depositing them. That way when they bounce they don't go after you for the money, just him.
-
if you don't trust his checks why are you depositing them when clearly they are going to bounce.
Why would I not attempt to deposit a check I was handed? That doesn't make--
You know what, you have to be doing this on purpose. I'm out.
-
Why would I not attempt to deposit a check I was handed?
because of the fee assessed to your account when the check bounced.
you don't trust the check and unless you have the most awesome bank in the universe they're going to charge you for a bounced check.
that's just a recipe for losing money.

Seriously? The person receiving money gets charged?*is pretty sure UK banks can't do that*
-

/me nods.
yep. seems to be a "because we can so fuck you" on the part of the banks. if you do business with a credit union this will likely not apply to you, likewise for fortign banks, particularly those who are based in sane countries.
-
It also helps that in Europe, we're phasing out the use of cheques in favour of more flexible electronic methods
-
Like i said, sane countries*
* mostly
I'm looking at you greece
-
Why would I not attempt to deposit a check I was handed?
Maybe because your friend said it was just a souvenir check?
-
Actually, what you need to realize is that Jeff doesn't log out. It is not part of his workflow and therefor he can not imagine anybody ever logging out of something as perfect as Discourse.

FTFYRTFYoh you poor sheltered person...
porn is not embarrassing!
getting caught porning when you should be working might be,
getting in trouble because you were not truthful with your significant other(s) might be,
but porn itself is not!

Dear Diary: TIL that Discourse == Porn. There was much rejoicing.
How Discourse is like porn:
- People say "FUCK" a lot while using it
- The creation of it is basically just some dude randomly spraying things everywhere and seeing what sticks
- Umm... something about @sockbot and masturbation?
How Discourse is not like porn:
- The porn industry actually knows how to design an interactive website
- They listen to, and actually cater to, the needs and habits of their end-users
- They understand how basic technology works
- Will gladly film a video of a crackwhore licking the assholes of a dozen random men, but wouldn't in a million years consider doing something as disgusting as using Discourse?

There's two types of people:
- People who fix computers, and know what type of porn everyone else is watching
- People who have their computers fixed by others
