I had already responded to Simmerdownchick when she asked the same thing 32 pages ago, and so did you btw.

It has been asked by others too, as you said. One of them is you again, but also Mazza (with a previous account) and Trinket. And yet others have agreed with those requests: Milik_the_Red and a person who has left since then. That's about it (according to Google).

DirtyMartini even offered a way to truly preview your signature. If you hadn't been too lazy to bother to look for a solution, you might have found it yourself.

Nobody will mind if someone break the guidelines for a few seconds. It's pretty easy to correct/adjust one's signature if it has a mistake or doesn't stay within the guidelines. Many people just don't seem to give a shit about those guidelines (or don't know about them), otherwise they would make their signature conform, preview or not.

Personally I'd say a preview for forum signatures would only really add some value if it would alert or otherwise highlight when the signature is not conform those guidelines. Other than that I'd say it's mostly a waste of Gav's precious time. But then again I hardly change my signature, so that undoubtedly affects my bias.

Oh! Great idea Randy!! I 'Like' that one, too


I would like to ... please have the ability to preview my forum signature before I hit post? I already have one person calling me a retard, lol! JK!

Thanks Gav, you're the BEST! I nominate you for the AWESOME badge :-)

= Timestamp the various lists of activities in, for example, 'friends activity'. Timestamping is already done in one's own forum post list on their profile. On a related note, and I've not collected hard evidence, it sometimes seems as if the most recent posts are not those at the top of the list.... at least in the 'friends activity -> view your activity' path.

= When an individual is blocked, make them COMPLETELY invisible, that is, for example, in the forums, instead of showing the name and "This post has been hidden as you have blocked this member", just make that entry invisible.

= Unify the set of emoticons/smiles across forums, chat, and email.

= Implement a hazard warning banner if any form page has posts by Trinket.

A post in the site improvements thread, made me realise, it would be nice if more credit were given, to those who are placed in the Top 10 in our competitions.

So, in future, all competitions will have a Top 10 listed, and each member making the list, will be automatically given a "Competition Top 10" badge.

Next week, I'll go through the results of all our previous competitions, and manually assign the badge to those who featured in the Top 10's.

Enjoy a restful weekend folks!

she didn't miss the point. she does the same thing "her donald" does. any POV that differs from hers is nonsense or twaddle and fake news from leftists and fascists. her facts are the only ones that are right, anything else isn't worth her consideration. I do agree with you, it would be a pleasant surprise if he actually did some things that are good for this country, but so far, he is just taking credit for a lot of things that were already in place even before the election, such as reducing the cost of the new military jets, and the additional jobs several of the car companies have announced. he takes credit for anything good, and blames anything bad on "the mess" left by the previous administration. not to mention the fact that he continues to act like a petulant child whining about inconsequential things like the inaugural crowd size and how he lost the popular vote, instead of growing up and stop tweeting at 3am in the morning.

I am so pleased you didn't take credit for this Amy, you are way to sensible to fall for this sort of nonsense. It def. hits the nail on the head though; it's the sort of twaddle that persuades me that my vote, cast for Donald Trump, was cast correctly and in the best interests of America and it's people. If I had to vote again tomorrow, I would vote the same way I did. I don't feel in the least bit 'conned'. Whoever concocted this mess didn't do the wonderful fact checking the Democrats supposedly rely on.

I wonder who the new Prime Minister of Australia will be? Any ideas? ... and they obviously have no idea that Goldman Sachs forbade... yes 'forbade' their partners and senior execs from contibuting any funds to the Trump Campaign and 'advised' their other staff to follow their directive. Clinton Campaign only was tolerated in the Bank that 'rules the world'. That directive was one of the reasons I chose to vote the way I did. Plus the DF regulation thing. You know why we have that regulation of course?; which President did away with the banking regulations allowing trading banks and their counterparts to effectively merge?.

Surely you can do better than this heap of nonsense Amy?

Oh .. whoever missed out the TPP, my #1 reason for voting for Donald Trump. Only he and Bernie Sanders were promising to repeal it.

I can't take credit for this, but it pretty much sums up the conjob Trump pulled. Unfortunately, his supporters refuse to take their blinders off. Sigh.

This is Spinal Bat

Quote by Seax
As Perry Mason used to say, "Irrelevant and immaterial". The national popular vote count has no place in our national election process. That process is set up per the Constitution and conducted on a state by state basis. The Constitution states just how many electoral college votes each state gets. The individual states get to decide how their electors are selected, and how they are required to vote, or not.

You can't say Trump is not the legitimate victor because he didn't win the popular vote. If the two campaigns were fighting over the popular vote, neither candidate would have ever set foot in New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware or any of the other spots with low population. The election would have been about who won the most populous states, and that's where the campaign would have been fought out.

And that is why there's an Electoral College. Firstly to force someone to pay attention to the needs and desires of the smaller states. And secondly because without the compromise that set up the Electoral College, the smaller states would never have agreed to ratify the Constitution in the first place. Got it? No Electoral College -> no Constitution -> no United States of America.

Updated 22 Feb 2017.

I will amend the standard competition rules, but in the interim, I wanted to make our policy very clear on competitions.

We want competition entries to be solo efforts, as much as possible. That's common sense. They are competitions, after all.

We're intestested in seeing what you have written, warts 'n' all. It's a good way for us to see how far authors have come on, and makes it fairer to all concerned, particularly newer members, who haven't yet established a support network.

With that in mind, and following a lot of discussion amongst our membership and moderation team, we've decided that:

- Proofreading and light editing of competition entries, by friends, is fine.

- Heavy editing and co-writing of competition stories, is disallowed.

If you have any questions which haven't already been raised in the following posts, please let me know.

Feedback is always welcome.

Good question. We have actually got a sweepstake going on in the office on how long he will remain President. The closest one to his term office ending takes the pot. I am banking on two and half years.
