[17:24:17] <Bytram> Break time.
[16:59:41] <fyngyrz> heh
[16:59:41] <Bytram> HTH!
[16:59:39] <fyngyrz> Bytram:
[16:59:37] <Bytram> --=)
[16:59:32] * fyngyrz DOES have tab complete
[16:59:27] <fyngyrz> uh...
[16:59:19] <fyngyrz> Limechat here
[16:58:40] * Bytram used hexchat
[16:58:30] * fyngyrz doesn't have tab complete
[16:58:20] <Bytram> just reversed my nick and, voila!
[16:58:09] <Bytram> so came the edict that there are to be NO nicks starting with 'm'
[16:57:57] <Bytram> tab complete was... wonky... as people would join/leave
[16:57:36] <Bytram> we had WAY too many nicks here in IRC starting with the letter 'm'
[16:57:15] <Bytram> not something I advertise, but it is a reasonably well-known moniker
[16:56:47] <Bytram> hi.
[16:55:41] <fyngyrz> I get the handl enow
[16:55:29] <fyngyrz> also... didn't know you were martyb. Hi. :)
[16:50:16] <Bender> karma - fyngyrz: 3
[16:50:16] <Bytram> fyngyrz++ thanks for all your contributions!
[16:50:05] <Bytram> If there were some way to make coding changes without having to go through the github mystery-meat GUI navigation...
[16:49:10] <fyngyrz> I've seen it. As I let everyone know initially, my input is in fixing the little goofs that get into stories. I've also written code for you folks that I think would help, made suggestions a-plenty... and before anyone says otherwise, I know it's hard to change the code. But that's my schtick.
[16:48:49] <Bytram> thank $diety for the other eds who have a done a great job of pushing out stories, too.
[16:48:13] <Bytram> Would love to be able to do some coding, but run out of time to add that in.
[16:47:50] <Bytram> that's on top of what time I put in doing QA.
[16:47:32] <exec> └─ 13SoylentNews: Hall of Fame
[16:47:27] <Bytram> Take a glance here: https://soylentnews.org and look at "Most Active Authors"
[16:47:06] <Bytram> and lack spare time to do much more than push out stories most days... there's so much more I'd like to do, but lack the time to do it.
[16:46:47] <fyngyrz> yeah
[16:46:41] * Bytram just might have put some effort into its staying around.
[16:46:32] <fyngyrz> I worry when I look at the goals thing on the home page
[16:46:23] <Bytram> agreed!
[16:46:16] <Bender> karma - soylentnews: 1
[16:46:16] <Bytram> soylentnews++
[16:46:06] <fyngyrz> I *like* this place. I want it to survive. It's near-unique in its policies, and I think it's a valuable, if highly under-visited, place on the web
[16:45:17] <Bytram> just need another slashbox, make it an option in user prefs, default to off(?)
[16:45:15] <fyngyrz> </grump>
[16:44:48] <Bytram> *chuckles*
[16:44:23] <fyngyrz> <grump>still should be where "This page was generated by a flock of not-caring-about-subscription-code" is at the top of the user page, though
[16:44:04] <Bytram> there== "User" field in the "User Admin" field box
[16:43:43] <Bytram> for giggle, put my nick in there; martyb
[16:43:23] <fyngyrz> well, that's better
[16:43:17] <Bytram> right.
[16:43:15] <fyngyrz> normally, I mean?
[16:43:11] <fyngyrz> so... user doesn't see the yellow part?
[16:42:58] <Bytram> it's consistent in its own (warped) way.
[16:42:48] <Bytram> is far from the best UI layout I've ever seen
[16:42:30] <Bytram> just gotta remember that the yellow-highlight pertains to your super-duper admin powahs
[16:41:55] <fyngyrz> :)
[16:41:53] <fyngyrz> imma gonna call that out as very much sub-optimal
[16:41:46] * Bytram prolly has a bigger monitor -- is right there staring at me. =)
[16:41:25] <fyngyrz> oh - I see it. Way down the page.
[16:41:23] <Bytram> ignore the yellow-highlighted stuff
[16:41:04] <exec> └─ 13subscribe
[16:41:01] <Bytram> the slashbox link for Subscribe takes me to: https://soylentnews.org
[16:40:35] <Bytram> no, that's something you can enter another user's nick in to see what is set up for THEM, scroll down.
[16:40:03] <fyngyrz> I agree it SHOULD set the user field, but, no.
[16:39:11] <fyngyrz> it takes me there, but it doesn't set the user field
[16:39:04] <Bytram> wha?
[16:38:57] <fyngyrz> no. it doesn't.
[16:38:57] <Bytram> agreed that is less than ideal, though.
[16:38:48] <Bytram> "Navigation" slashbox on the LeftHand Side of the main page, sub section "You", click "Subscribe" and it will show you your current status as well as give you an opportunity to start/extend
[16:37:59] <Bytram> FYI, found another place that will take you there.
[16:36:35] <Bytram> yes, that would be a "Good Thing" (TM)
[16:36:10] <fyngyrz> yes, that does it
[16:35:45] <fyngyrz> if it's happening to me, it's probably happening to others. And you REALLY should be showing the current subscription status to everyone, all the time on their user page, agree? I mean, you want to survive, right?
[16:35:29] <Bytram> either way, does that newer link get you there?
[16:35:06] <Bytram> case-insensitive search?
[16:34:59] <Bytram> strange.
[16:34:48] <fyngyrz> I don't have a subscriptions button
[16:34:22] <exec> └─ 13subscribe
[16:34:20] <Bytram> I clicked on the Subscriptions button on that page and it took me to: https://soylentnews.org
[16:33:32] <Bytram> hmm
[16:33:28] <fyngyrz> did - not found
[16:33:12] <Bytram> then search for the word "Subscriptions"
[16:33:05] <fyngyrz> I am on that page
[16:33:00] * Bytram has admin powers so may see things differentlyt
[16:32:45] <Bytram> did you click the above link
[16:32:29] <fyngyrz> where???
[16:32:20] <Bytram> looks like last sub was on 04-12-18 for one year.
[16:31:57] <Bytram> Right under "Subscriptions" on that page.
[16:31:43] <exec> └─ 13fyngyrz - SoylentNews User
[16:31:40] <Bytram> https://soylentnews.org
[16:31:40] <Bytram> it is.
[16:31:06] <fyngyrz> I've the vague feeling my soylent subscription is near expiring; looked for info on that on my user page, couldn't find it. What am I missing? Frankly, this should be VERY easy to find, like, IN-YOUR-FACE easy
[16:30:21] <Bytram> wrong 'sub' !!
[16:30:16] <Bytram> Oh!
[16:30:12] <fyngyrz> sub SCRIPTION
[16:30:01] <Bytram> I don't see the sub you are talking about??
[16:29:45] <Bytram> sees one entry dated 2018.05.03
[16:29:33] * Bytram clicks on submissions tab
[16:29:27] <exec> └─ 13- SoylentNews User
[16:29:24] * Bytram goes to https://soylentnews.org
[16:28:37] <Bytram> fyngyrz: lemme check
[16:05:47] <fyngyrz> I've the vague feeling my soylent sub is near expiring; looked for info on that on my user page, couldn't find it. What am I missing? Frankly, this should be VERY easy to find, like, IN-YOUR-FACE easy
