Thanks skeptic..I'll let you know how it went,,

Please get rid of The Event rollover ad.

It's incredibly annoying spending 1/5 of my time on this page zooming through the video everytime my mouse accidentally rolls over that dang thing.

Both of them, actually.

I don't know where else to put this and get an answer, so I will just put it here.

Who the hell are the Conspiracy Chicks and why are they all up in my world?

A better question, why is there no way to not receive PM's about them?

Their faces irritate me, and the fact that I am forced to look at them and receive PM's about what they have to say, which I have no interest in, irks me further.

The Event ad is gone which makes it much easier to navigate.

Thank you very much.

The Conspiracy Chicks are AshleyD and asala, Ashley and Julie respectfully. They were well known members long before they became mods, and they were legendary amongst ATSers long before they became Super Mods.

If you watch The Conspiracy Chicks episodes you will find they do segments of the most flagged, most posted in threads and summerize briefly what they are about and the highlights of the threads' contents that members find most informative. There are also interviews with members on their show concerning their threads and what is going on in their part of the world.

I happen to like their show because it informs me about the meat and potatos of the most interesting threads and what has been going on in them.

If you don't like them, don't watch them. If you want to know what is going on in what threads are busy and have a large amount of members posting in them, then watch them.

again, the discussion thread for their latest episode is here

If you have comments that are constructive please watch the show and comment in that thread about it. They are receptive to how to make the show better, and have proven they accept suggestions that they can accomidate, imo.

hope this helps,
ET

All up in YOUR world? Really? You must be giving us more credit for having the ability to influence matters well beyond the borders of this website.

There is none. Their videos are a production of ATS, and as such, will be promoted by ATS.

Their faces irritate me, and the fact that I am forced to look at them and receive PM's about what they have to say, which I have no interest in, irks me further.

Perhaps we should tailor this website to your needs, and your needs alone?

Or... a better idea, drop the bitterness act and life will generally be easier to manage.

I guess I must conform to whatever you say or I will be silenced.

As you command, my liege.

I like the sound of that

JUst a quick question to ATS...

Could we make the 'I'm a Friend Of" the same as the "My sharpest friends"
ie: listed as they are chosen..

The "I'm a Friend Of" list stays alphabetically listed and its easy to miss someone who just made you their friend..

Not a huge issue, but would be nice....

Hello there not sure if this has been posted already if so apologies and to whoever posted it!

Anyway I was wondering if there might be a way of saving a draft of a thread somehow? I occasionally have problems where my browser tries to commit suicide and then I lose what I have been typing. This often results in me abandoning the topic.

Recently I have just been loading up notepad typing in there, then C&Ping into the thread box. Anyway I don't know how you would go about doing this, as it would obviously require a lot of memory.

I just thought I'd throw it out there! Love the site btw way, Cheers!

I tried to go back and edit a post posted on 9/23/2010 @ 08:37 AM and it told me I had exceeded my maximum of 4 hours for editing a post, but at most only 2 and 1/2 hours had gone past. I posted here in case anyone else is having this problem as well.

The limit in practice seems to be two hours, so the set message is misleading.
If you edit immediately after posting, you get a message indicating how many minutes you have left,,e.g "118 minutes".

Thanks for that, I am at work and got busy with the work interruptions (how dare they interrupt my ATS time ) and didn’t realize till it was too late that I had made an error in my post.

Now I know I will have to track the time a bit better.

I've come across that myself. Luckily it wasn't something too critical to the reply other than a typo. But when writing a large thread it would be upsetting.

Ok question... I am trying to add a picture to the thread I made today and it's telling me I have passed my four hours for an edit. Is this new? If so I don't like it. I thought you had 24hrs....Also it hasn't even been 4hrs. I posted my thread at 11:09am ET and it's only 1:58pm ET right now. That is not four hours....I don't want to add the pic to a new post in the thread but to the original post in my thread. It took me a while to get the picture but I have one and would like to add it.

From what was written just before your post it looks like the time limit now it's two hours.
