    Lol! that's a good one
    The irony of it all is that that's one of the very rare pics of myself that I actually like...Kinda looks like it should be on a coin or stamp or something....or I guess a poster in the post office

    Tormod:

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to make a post. Can you help me do that?

    Don't worry about me. I was just worried that you had lost the information as to where these posts are supposed to be. If you guys can get it all back to the old structure without any help, a few days isn't going to upset me.

    Thanks for your concern -- Dick

    PS, you can delete our conversation if you wish as the issue seems pretty well contained.

    I am afraid that most all of my posts were in the “Philosophy of Science” thread which was apparently moved to sociology in its entirety. Last night, I was still able to find my posts through the “Find all posts by Doctordick” link but now only that single post which someone has fixed appears (probably due to your removal of the “sociology section”). I was looking for “moderators” so I could help the fix.

    So I tried the messages in the “Philosophy of Science” thread which are shown as “moved”. Last night that led me to the threads but this morning I get the message that I am not authorized to read those sites. Without being able to scan those moved posts, it is quite impossible to get the information one would have to give the moderators if they knew who they were.

    Is there any way to obtain the authority to look at that “sociology” section? I think I could be of substantial assistance if I could see it as I have a pretty good idea as to what threads were originally in the Philosophy of Science section. At least I could point out a few thousand which were not and message the original creators as to where they thought they should be.

    Without giving people the right to read that thread, you are losing a lot of valuable help which I am sure most would provide. You need not give them the right to post to the sociology section but at least give them the right to read it.

    Trying to help -- Dick

    It occurred to me last night, after I had gone to bed, that someone might have hacked your site and wrought an almighty disturbance. I got up, intending to go in and see if any other sections had been so damaged, I tried to bring hypography up. What I got was that message that the system was being “updated” which seemed to possibly point towards such a thing.

    This morning I tried again and got your message. I would certainly do everything in my power to help straighten this thing out. Just let me know what I can do to help.

    Thank you and I apologize for adding to your problems -- Dick

    Whoever restructured this site has a very poor idea of proper classification. There is no way that anyone with any understanding of the field would even consider classifying any of my posts as "Sociology".

    Just what is the intention here? Is it simply your intention to remove "Philosophy of Science" as a subject of interest?

    What kind of discussions seem to you to belong in philosophy of science if it isn't the underlying principals behind science? I notice you have also removed every post in the "Philosophy" section also.

    Are you attempting to assert that philosophy can not possibly be a science and thus does not belong in a science forum? If so, I am sincerely disappointed in your stand.

    You may be "having fun" without me -- Dick

    HELP!

    I've been a fool. I posted my short story but I did it as a new thread instead of as an addition to the short story thread.

    As a mod, is it in your power to move it to the right place.

    Apologies for mistrake.

    Please could I ask you to approve me into the hallowed Group membership of the Quiet Lounge?

    I would like to post some of my SciFi there for your delectation.

    Hi Tormod,

    I wondered if I can post a link to my theory in the introductions forum (or if this would be considered spam)?

Developing websites is fun, but being a hardcore hand coder means I don't use tools which fix the code for me.

Developing on my Mac also means I know fairly well how things look in Safari, Opera and Firefox. But Internet Explorer is a problem. I have to either boot my Mac into Boot Camp (so that I boot into Windows), or I have to run Windows in Parallells Desktop. The latter is slow and tedious, particularly since I run Vista (my copy of Windows XP has been activated too many times...thanks...

Hypography just got kicked out of Google Adsense - probably the most famous web advertisement program in the world right now.

We've been in it since the early days, and it has helped me finance the running of Hypography since it has covered the costs for our server, software licenses etc.

Adsense ads has some cool properties: They are easy on the eye (at least the text versions), they adapt to your page's content, and the money earned comes straight into my bank account....

I am thinking about how to improve Hypography's design.

No, not the color scheme, logo or typography.

I am thinking about how it is so 100% obviously a vBulletin forum (even in the blog section). There are the boxy boxes, the straight columns and the endless horizontal bars.

Certainly there must be ways to improve it?

vBulletin has a major problem in that it is using a table-based layout. Add to that a rather comprehensive modular template...

Keeping Hypography running is a mastodontic job. I have long since lost track of how many hours I have spent installing things, upgrading, fixing things which are broken by upgrades, finding hacks, helping people and so on.

It takes a lot of time.

In fact, we're in Hypography's 8th year now - if I add up all the hours spent I think I would go crazy.

So why do I do it?

Because I love this place. I love seeing new posts from people who walk...
