I'd go for a Sent box myself...

Yes, I want the 'sent' box.

That's two votes. Any more?

I'd rather have our inbox 'subject' list back but a 'sent' box would be really helpfull also.


I'm not sure voting is fair though as I suspect the SETI web developers are probably under a great deal of strain at the moment.


I'm still interested in what triggered this last set of updates to these forums?


I think it's great when people try to improve things but some fore-warning, public research and 'slow & selective' changes might be better than 'large scale' changes all at once.

Let us have a scent mailbox, I would vote for that. That way the problem is that are currently causing some consternation would be well fragranced.

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

PM wot's that...

eeK. That sounds like "Scratch n Sniff" TV cards from the 1970s..

Yuck...

All the "Scratch n Sniff" cards I ever used either smelt like roses or rabbit poop.


I'd rather not have my inbox stinking like roses thank you very much. ;o)

From my own knowledge of developing these forums, it's usually a case of changing things as you go along, it's the only way to do it. It's also probable that an unpaid volunteer, who only has some time available, is making the changes and then coming back for more updates when time permits. At least that's how I've worked with the forums I've set up for free, the latest a forum for the judges to confer on the latest SETI photography contest.

An unpaid volunteer posting as "David A"? Well, now, that's an interesting take on it. LOL.
And *everyone* knows to copy your own ID and send it both to the recipient AND yourself so you have a record of what you have sent.

I doubt whether David A is paid to work on these forums. If he is, then he is wasting Berkeley money because his (paid) expertise should be utilized on something more taxing with his highly scientific brain. I expect he is tweaking the forum in his own time.

To send the PM to yourself would mean sending it twice, one to the recipient and then to yourself. Why would you take time to do this when it could be done automatically?

Oh pants and I so much wanted "David A" to be real.

Maybe 'John McLeod' can give reference for David.

Personally I don't think support staff need to crunch to be SETI volunteers.

Though it does help if they are known and supported by regular forum mods and admins.

I really shouldn't have to. Look at the tags under his name. He is one of the administrators, and all of those are paid staff.

Yes you did. However, the question was asked again after you posted the answer.

I believe I have seen him post in the Cafe before, but not anything like recently. I am not certain Esme was here at the time it was so long ago.

I couldn't think of how to phrase it to allow people that are too lazy to look at the reference post.

I don't think the reference post is even in this thread.

Here is the holy post itself DR As post

Perhaps if we leave a plate of jello out we can lure him back to post again?

Sorry John. I just got freaked by a post level of "1" and a RAC of Zifar..

No disrespect was meant but I'd rather look stupid for asking than not ask and feel stupid afterwards.

Sorry David A.
