It's not as much about the forums as the ebots. please please please make the link that takes you to the thread fixed on the page so we don't have to hunt it down. it's not bolded, and when you get the ebot you've gotta look for it really carefully in order to see it. Something like: Hi, You've received this notification becaue soandso replied to the thread thisandthat. Click here to go there and read what the bloody wanker said. THanks, Renderosity so basically linebreak the link thanks, drac

Agreed, soandso never has anything good to say anyway. Good point D

i'll give away half of my previously-taken babies for this. it's just annoying because the link is never in the same place. it's really just a [br] tag put in. gracias, drac

My browser is set to underline all links so they are easy to spot.

No, it's actually a Pub just outside Portland Oregon. I just love their motto-"Grab your nuts". They serve over 30,000 lb. of peanuts a year. I should get Drac a T-shirt.

please please please please please :D drac (already has one with capitalist swine)

O.K. Drac, I'll send ya one! IM me your mailing/shipping address,PO box, or whatever. Wait a minute, scratch that. Didn't Len claim to be able to read other peoples' IM's? I wouldn't want him to mail you a bomb, or a wheel of stinky cheese! Do you still have my email addy from when I sent you the bridge model(WOB)? Send the pertinent info, including your size, and I'll send it off ASAP. If you don't have my addy let me know and I'll send it to you via the "proper" channels. The only stipulation is you have to show us a pic of you wearing it.
draculaz posted Mon, 10 April 2006 at 4:16 PM
dude, i'd do it, but first i'd need some info on how to wire you the money for it. and yeah, i'd totally wear it :)

Not to worry! I know someone who works there. Consider it an early Christmas gift,LOL. Besides, snail mail shipping to Romania can't be too bad as far as cost.
draculaz posted Mon, 10 April 2006 at 4:33 PM
very generous of you my friend, i'll be sure to send you something from romania then, just to be even. and i insist :) drac
danamo posted Mon, 10 April 2006 at 4:46 PM
Hey thank's Drac! I'm sure I'd enjoy that too!

Dang I'll have to get you the t-shirt about crabs, one of the restaurants here sells them. something like "I got crabs at so&so's" :lol:
danamo posted Mon, 10 April 2006 at 7:24 PM
LOL, between us we could "pimp-out" Drac so he looks like any other vulgar American tourist. :laugh:

AS, it's not the bolding as the line break. also have the IMs show in the forums. danke, i love you, dearly, sexually. drac
AgentSmith posted Tue, 11 April 2006 at 1:58 AM
Yup, IM notifications in the forums. Along with all the other stuff we used to have (server time, side bar links, etc) All that will be done. Very soon, I hope! It makes us feel a little disconnected without all that. Plus, a hassle. Line break? What's that, or what's the difference? "it's just annoying because the link is never in the same place" -I think they have been playing around with ebot wording...

this is how it is right now: so and so has replied to your post. click here to go there. this is how it should be: so and so has replied to your post. click here to go there. =================================================== why? because so and so can be either very long or very short, and it changes the place of the "here" link on the page. when you click on an ebot you're not supposed to hunt down a silly link, just click it. drac

Best get used to it drac, at least for a while...
What gets me (along with the idiocy of a notification for every fecking reply instead of just one since you last visited) is why they now send the ebots formatted. Since, for old fashioned security reasons, I view my emails in plain text by default, I don't see a link at all. How likely am I to bother with altering the view to HTML? Not very likely at all.
Every other forum I visit sends topic reply notifications in plain text. The useful link is obvious to see for everyone. Simple, but too easy for the strange-priority-crew at Rendo.
My policy with Rendeosity ebots is this:
1 - uncheck the notify box
2 - use message rule to divert Rendo ebots to dump folder should I forget 1 or desire ebot for archiving useful threads.

Be nice if it could also be "Open in New Tab" like so many other things in the forums are already, I just don't understand why we can't have that. I mean if you can do it in the forums, why not in the ebots?
Please, please, please???

Are you reading your ebots within the Firefox broswer?
Again, see the other thread where I TRULY need to SPECIFICALLY know how you access your e-mail. A program, or through a webpage (hotmail.com)
