THE 10,000 Post Thread

1340 1351. Someone did, for sure. It appears to be deathtoall, who posted a number about 6 lower than the actual post count.

[Duke87 1,070]

(1341) (1352, thanks to server error)

My ear itches.

[Muck308 55]

1342  1353

And what does that itching sound like, Duke?

[Duke87 1,070]

1354

Okay, we should be past that hiccup now...

[Larks2242 251]

1355. I sure hope so that was strange

[Chptrk 86]

I'm afraid to post a number, because I think Duke is wrong. If you go from the reply number, and add 2 (like Duke said) were at 1335 now. So and looks like we skipped a number here too, so this should be, if I'm not wrong...

1356

[Muck308 55]

1357

By that formula I should be posting 1355 right now. But we may need a new formula now, not to mention lots of editing. We'll figure it out.

[Korot 6]

1358. No, you should now add 3 to the replies number for some reason. I don't know what happened, I guess it was a server hick-up, as I clearly remember having post 1339 above me, when I posted 1340. Just for check the number:

45*30= 1350

And with this post, there are 8 posts on this page, making a total of 1358, so unless we've got ourselves a PFB, this number is correct, and I'd love to know dirks explanation about what happened, as having to fix everything every week is not worth the effort. Page 45 does need a clean-up though.

[Larks2242 251]

1359. Looks like we have our work cut out for us I hate to see Hamish keep having to change the post numbers though

[astronelson 339]

1360. Well, the sniping certainly doesn't help.

[Vahr 343]

1361

I posted earlier yesterday and my post never came up. The forum listing showed I did but the thread didn't. At least not until now.

[citiesxlfan42 27]

1362. That's odd Blue Lightning. Never had that happen before.

Now Miley Cyrus got an underage tattoo. That girl is DESPERATE to get away from the Hannah Montana- Disney world. Look at what she has done since April when the Hannah Montana movie came out. That was the coverup for when she ditched the whole Hannah Montana thing. Obviously not the TV show, she signed on 2 more seasons with Disney.

1363 - We need another active mod to cover Hamish when he sleeps.

[Vahr 343]

1364

Maybe we should get "thread mods" that can moderate only a specific thread. Though then dirk would have to do more work... which hes working hard enough already fixing up the site.

[Duke87 1,070]

(1365)

Personal recommendation? Forget about the "number of replies + X" methodology, since it's proving unreliable.

The universal rule of thumb, though, is that there's always 30 posts to a page, so the first post on any page will always be one more than a multiple of 30. Then you can count from there to check.

We're on page 46 here. 45 × 30 + 1 = 1351, which is what Korot's post up there is reporting, so just count from there and you're good.

[Muck308 55]

1366

Yeah, that works.

Did anyone notice the post #'s on mine and Duke's posts? Korot's was close too.

Korot 1653650

Duke87 1653657

Muck308 1653658

Mine and Duke's were right after another, which isn't all that unusual I suppose. There couldn't have been too much activity on the site at that moment, the proper time of which I'm not sure of. Some time between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm EST December, 4th. They are reading six minutes apart, but who knows if the phantom times are accuarte as far as time between posts.

[GlobexCo 33]

1367 At SC4D there's a post counter instead of that long number here at ST. A post counter for each thread should be easier than a mod for each thread...

[un1 41]

1368 - But there forum is SMF not FusedTalk (I think). The forum software is completely different and I don't know if that is an option.

[Korot 6]

1369. Muck: There can't be just 7 posts between mine on the top of the page and Duke's one above you. And Duke: I fixed that number after making 1358, just to reduce the confusion. However, I'm still very sure that I posted right after number 1339, and I still haven't got a clue about what happened.

[Muck308 55]

1370

Well, the posts that went awry all seem to have a post time of around 12 am on December 5th. (EST) But since they were at that time, the posts made after them came up before since whatever went wrong was corrected. Our "future posts" remained at the bottom of the thread even after people posted after us. I've never seen that happen before. I had a future post in N106's cj that I edited twice before the time of that post came around. But no mention of editing was placed at the bottom. I had hoped it would say I edited the post before I posted it. But no go.

[Hamish 1,370]

1371. Lol, a thread mod wouldn't work, well I don't think so anyway. And that would be a little weird too. But I'll fix it all up tonight. I'm working today. Just wait till the new page pops up and you should be fine again. But, until that time, just follow the numbers.

[Korot 6]

1372. Hamish, when you fix it, would you please start with your own post, should be 1371.

Muck: Didn't something like that happen around the time we went back to normal time from DST. I would seriously enjoy an official explanation from Dirk though.

[Muck308 55]

1373

I don't recall, but I've only been around for a small portion of ST's life thus far.

[Larks2242 251]

1374. Is it even possible to have a mod for just one thread?

[GlobexCo 33]

1375 Just discovered that each forum has his own software...

A good explanation can be difficult to understand or explain...

[un1 41]

1376 - Larks, as far as I know, no. It would be possible if dirk made his own forum software, but there is only mods for each board.

[Duke87 1,070]

1377

Or, here's a radical idea: everyone fix their own posts.

I already fixed mine. 

[Larks2242 251]

1378. Really Globex i find that hard to believe.

[astronelson 339]

1379. Wouldn't the best explanations be easy to understand?

[Duke87 1,070]

(1380)

Depends on the audience. There are some things that a lot of people won't be able to understand a "good explanation" for.

For instance, which is easier to understand?

Where:

ΣM_A = the sum of all moments about point A (=0, if the system is in equilibrium)

F = the magnitude of each force

r = the position vector of each force with respect to point A

or

"the weight on one side of the seesaw has to equal the weight on the other side"

The first is a better explanation. The second is severely dumbed down for the sake of putting it in laymen's terms.
