Have you ever though that somebody has been doing a rather good job in the bakery in general? Or have you read a profile that was especially worthy of comment? I'd like to be able to write next to (or under) profiles!

I was hoping people who like to get comments
would simply put their email addresses or URLs
into their profiles and let others send them
plain old email. |
|
| |
There's a fine line between the mechanism you
request and either a popularity contest or a
general-purpose messaging system. I don't
want to host either of those. |
|
| |
However, if the need turns out to be big enough,
and in particular if off-topic conversations keep
aggregating next to ideas, that may be the best
way to answer a demonstrated need. |
|
| |
I understand completely.... I think. It might just be me, but I've never seen anybody get all worked up over a virtual popularity contest. :-) |
|
| |
You know, jutta, it's benevolent dictators like you that make this world a better place. |
|

Off topic: That thing is a croissant? I thought it was some sort of stuffed meat or vegetable thing. It appeared to have too much texture to be just flakey pastry. |
|
| |
Nope, is a croissant. They tend to be layered and often have empty space inside... |
|
| |
I like the 0-2.5 croissant idea... |
|
| |
I see that NOW. (I have eaten more than my fair share of croissants.) It's just that I initially thought it had too much texture to just be layers. Maybe you should have READ my post, Chaser. Oh well. :-) |
|
| |
<thpth...grin> I did, I was just confirming that it was a croissant, and explaining a bit to keep it from being a 1 line reply. |
|
| |
Besides, I think it looks like someone ate part out of the middle, as MY croissants never have that much open space... |
|
| |
Maybe it's a half croissant because it's a half bakery. <gin> |
|
| |
Don't get <gin> from a bakery, dude...<grin> |
|
| |
It is a croissant cut in half, but it also has a lot of open space inside the remaining half, such that it looks like there's less than half left because someone ate part of it... |
|
| |
Some of the croissant missing? Maybe there are mice in the HalfBakery. Someone should invent a better mousetrap. |
|
| |
Well, could we at least have the profile pages list the
comments and links that people have added to halfbakery?
I know you're currently doing things with flat files and C,
so it could be hard -- it would be much easier with a
database. |
|

The reason I do not list links and annotations
is that I don't think annotations and links are all
that worthwhile or important, compared to
the ideas themselves. There is no technical
problem.| — | jutta,

With all due respect, jutta, it appears that many disagree with you. |
|
| |
I'm not sure what your reservations are to letting people communicate as much as they care to. |
|
| |
Could you explain this reasoning? I'm serious. Thanks in advance. |
|
| |
I wouldn't say 'many'...I like it like it is, and don't think it's necessary to put a million statistics on everything... |
|
| |
I won't presume to speak for jutta, but I think the intention of this site is to exchange and comment on ideas. The annotation and discussion on who is doing a good job or not, is more along the lines of some sort of 'socializing' discussion database. And although I do think of this site and the people who post here as a "community", I would like to see the site stay as true to this ideal as it can. |
|
| |
I like the term "popularity contest" to describe what would happen if this feature were enabled. I also agree that this would be a bad thing. |
|
| |
the most appropriate and obvious thing to do is to simply create a new idea category called "user" for each of us to enter our login name as an idea. then people can annotate and link each other. viola. |
|
| |
jutta, a year ago you said:
"The reason I do not list links and annotations [on the user pages of people which have entered Ls&As] is that I don't think annotations and links are all that worthwhile or important, compared to the ideas themselves. There is no technical problem." |
|
| |
if it is no technical problem, i for one would use that feature often. |
|
| |
Wait a minute, there's two different suggestions here. |
|
| |
The little annotations/messaging-to-user thing -- please, get email accounts, publish the address, save me the work. There's no need to do this within the halfbakery. |
|
| |
There are lots of things that I could do technically and don't, because I don't like the resulting user interface. LIsting all a user's annotations and links on their per-user page is such a case; that's why it hasn't happened.
If you want to see all the things you've annotated and added links to, do a vanity search for your name. (If that doesn't do what you want, explain more about what you want; it'll serve as input to "the log", the big user-configurable display. That still isn't in sight, either, but at least it's complicated enough to justify taking a long time for it.) |
|
| |
I don't want ppl to know my E-mail address and I think the annotations and links list is a bit stupid but I don't think the annotations of profiles are a bad idea but I think the sites great so I don't care weather it is not changned (I would NOT like to see the list for annotations and links). intially I though the profile voteing might be kool but I agree with jutta it would create a popularity contest so i don't want to see that. |

<//things to do when bored//> I just did a vanity search on my name....never did that before....yee-haw! 360 hits :-) <//things to do when bored//> |
|
| |
<//putting it into perspective//> uh...PeterSealy = 2555 hits....and that doesn't count all the times he's called Peter or PS <//putting it into perspective//> |

You can always delete annos you don't like. So no
harm. And its a way to communicate between the
writers. Or maybe there's a better suggestion? |
