I love it.

I'd love to see more options too (ie, inversed options: oldest, coldest, etc, perhaps just indicated with ↑ ↓ arrows).

Is it worth reconsidering the titles?

new | hot | top | insightful | fun

vs

date | hotness | popularity | insightfulness | fun

Sup stranger! Ty for the feedback. I'm open to renaming but I'm not sure if you could get a consensus on that. Yes yes, consensus is not always the way to go.

I just flew in from Langley where I was doing a 2 week infiltration refresher course and updated all my James Bond gadgets, and boy are my arms dealers tired.

Truth is my back still kills but it seems like it's getting better. I thought that before. Maybe it's the Universe making me quit my SaidIt addiction. I've been working on a longer post for the last couple weeks when I can sit and think. I'm glad that I think better now and gladder when it's almost pain free at times.

My views on consensus:

  1. Ask as much as possible, especially if it's perceptible or impactful or in doubt. Don't expect great feedback.

  2. If the response is lackluster or ambiguous then justduet and provide a keep-or-revert date (ie. week-long trial) while asking again for feedback.

  3. Revert back if necessary.

Hahaha worst joke ever, I love it. Sorry about your back man, I hope you get it squared soon. Maybe sleeping on the floor would help. Good thoughts on consensus.

I have a semi-urgent issue.

Viewing and editing wikipages works but saving wikipages seems to be a problem. Obviously comments save.

Fortunately the seasonal thunderstorm has passed today but there's another tomorrow and if my power goes so does whatever work I did.

Backup to disk asap! Copy and paste that sucker.

Good report man, it's indeed broken. Priority #1 for me. Hopefully it will be fixed tonight at some point.

After I commented I tried it in K-Melon and found the same problem so I'd saved it to a text file.

Glad you're on it. Thanks. I was using it before no prob. I don't recall doing anything to break it but if I did I'd like to know so I don't do whatever it was again.

It's a weird out of memory on the OS level issue

Is it fixed?

I had another idea. Maybe my wiki page was too long?

If you ever do add display limits and character counts there are a few other places this would be good, ie. all the fields in the sub settings. I feel like there was another place but if there was I forgot.

Fixed.

If you ever do add display limits and character counts

Everything does have a limit at the end of the day. It's like server-side though, so you have to submit a gigantic wall of text and get an error to find out that there are limits. It would be cool to publish all of these limits somewhere I guess.
