Community Server is the old rusted out shitheap that works exactly like you expect a car to; it's just a crappy one. Whereas Discourse is a Segway strapped to a pogo stick because cars are too unintuitive to drive and we should just be able to lean somewhere and bounce all the way to our destination instead of worrying about steering wheels and gas and shit.

RE: Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome
You have no right to tell forum members how to use their phones. It is up to you to make sure that Discourse is available in every scenario.
He tells people how they should talk with each other, he tells people how they should open threads, he tells people what is and is not on topic for a thread and moves posts around, telling people how they should use their phones is just consistency.

RE: Another attempt at social engineering
I'm actually dissappointed you can't use enclosing tags to make @mikeTheLiar invisibly small, that would lend itself to some quality notification trolling.

RE: New users can not edit wikis properly
Absolutely fucking not, new users should not be able to edit anything. That's a straight up bug that we missed. Trust level 1 minimum.
Not being able to contribute to a community wiki is a barrier to communication.

Aha, found the problem! Who do they think they are, doing things in not-shell? Everything in Linux has to be scripted in sh, because it's the Correct Way™.

RE: Discourse and our reaction to it
But I think for people who know what they are signing up for, a user preference option to not move to the bottom of the topic after posting is OK.
Because using the existing reply flyout and just popping the submitted reply up in that and leaving the replier in the same damn place on the page would be just too unintuitive now would it?

RE: Frist! And Welcome
I am amused by the number of TDWTF forum lurkers/infrequent posters who have come after Discourse with guns blazing. If nothing else, it's bringing us together as a community.
It's funny, I was actually on a website with comments that were infinite scrolling and it was a total pain in the ass to use. I was thinking to myself in the thirty seconds I gave scrolling through it with UI elements fading in all over the place and not being able to scan through the replies because the browser scroll bar was all herky-jerky that it was the most obnoxious example of web 3.0 mental masturbation I've seen yet.
Then this forum starts up and I recognize the green scroll thing that popped up in the corner and realized retroactively it was Discourse.
(And yeah, total lurker.)

RE: Stop spamming my browser history setting
It didn't take effect till I closed the browser tab/opened a new Discourse session.

RE: Milwaukee PC
I'd had good luck with the airfibers, of course with the caveat that they're ultra finicky about alignment (I think we needed 6-8 back and forth alignments to get within a dB or two of expected) and only work out to 3-4 mi with any reliability, both due to the band in use. Gad good luck with homogeneous UBNT and AirMax, though the UNII bands were starting to get full of crap. No longer in the business, though, so my info is a year or two out of date.
Granted, we were using the ubnt APs with the aftermarket shields, both on PtP and PtMP links, which supposedly helps considerably in blocking out the interference on them.

RE: Milwaukee PC
Airmax = NV2. They're both proprietary TDMA protocols for the respective vendors. If you've been benchmarking NV2 vs ubnt straight 802.11 implementation I'm not surprised you see better mtik performance. Of course, then you can't mix CPEs.

RE: Milwaukee PC
AT&T's been neglecting ADSL here for 10 years due to pushing uverse. Milwaukee PC just sells internet running off the 10+ year old DSL architecture that was in place when it stopped getting upgraded.

RE: Windows 8 Mouse
In a number of cases, you'll also need to change the binding order of the NICs. If your wireless and wired networks are different subnets, your apps may grab a local IP off a higher bound NIC with a lower metric, forcing the traffic onto the less preferred connection.
