MeTa threads user link functionality inconsistent in view, preview July 25, 2002 4:56 PM Subscribe
Don't know if this is intentional or not, but i just noticed this:
When previewing my comments to metaTalk threads, mouse-rollovers on a previous posters name shows their username in the IE status bar; however, mouse-rollover in the same thread when the comments box is empty displays user numbers instead. Is this a useful feature, or a glitch?

Great. Sounds like a good idea...

is this really a big deal?
the links were throwing a 404, so I changed it to something that would work, which in this case was the username page instead of the user page (which are the same page).

No, it's not a big deal, just an interesting (to me) anomaly.

Matt, you're getting rid of the usernumbers?
I like the usernumbers...
Sure its a petty and superficial way of judging the worth of other posters, but how else are we supposed to do it? :-)

I intend to do it based on a long and complicated pseudo-random formula, whereby I shall unleash a string of ill-formed and inconsistent judgements on each name I read, based purely on their position within the sequence.

Oh yeah!? Well, the md5 hash of MY username is of greater value than the md5 hash of YOUR username!

Knock it off, you right-wing, lunatic newbie with pretensions to extensive knowledge of Middle English literature. My hashing function is far superior to that!
