They did it to compete with gmail, which gives 1GB. I'm sure hotmail will follow soon.

That was the first thing I thought too. "Hey, this is just like gmail!"

I like the way gmail "nests" the conversations. So if you reply back and forth 100 times from the same original e-mail, you've only got one item in you in-box.

Hopefully if Hotmail decides to do that, they reward people that have had accounts with them for a long time with the g-mail...

Ive had the same Hotmail account since 1995-96

I got one. Used all my invites though. Gave one to Frosti, one to Scribe, one to the guy that gave me an invite to Orkut.

If I get more, I'll give ya one.

Or you could ask Frosti to "Pay it forward" when he gets his invites.

Kitch, I just sent an invite to the addy in your PF profile. Make sure you check your spam folder. That's where the one THX sent me ended up.

I see the "send a friend an invite" icon on my in-box all the time, so I'm not worried. If anybody else wants one, let me know.

The "Invite a friend" thing only gives you so many invites at a time, and it's random how they give them out.

So, just so you know, you won't always have invites to give out.

Also, I don't know if you noticed, but it will tell you how many you have to give out.

so many invites, so little time. I'll just stick with what works for me :)

Anyone notice the posting frame looks a bit different?

Holy Moly, what happened to the GUI?  Anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?

If everyone gets multiple invites, couldnt you guys theorectically give everyone an account??


Yeah, eventually.  But by then your username may be gone.  That's why people want them so badly.

Hey, ESD. If you guys need any baby equipment, let me know. I've got an attic full that I need to get rid of in the next few weeks.

Hi Everyone!
I'm back amongst the internet connected people. Yeah!!!

Hey, Frosti - Yes, we can definitely use all kinds of baby stuff. send me an e-gram with what all you have to get rid of and if ya want anything for it. We're looking for a changing table, baby clothes either for a girl or neutral gender in a variety of sizes, bottles, baby toys, etc. Thanks!!

We'll see.  Maybe I just need to get used to it.  I'm used to plugging in my own HTML, and even have a macro to do it.  I find this more cumbersome.

I was wondering what all the popular hype was about. I was gonna try to get into what ever it was you were talking about and I think its about this new PF thing??

also there was something about Yahoo on the news lastnight-try going to KSTP.com - it sounded like what you were talking about yesterday.

also something 'ghostly' happened to me yesterday so I am gonna post it in the ghost thread. if I can find it.

I would think you'd love this new, non-HTML format ESD.


Fun,



Fun,


Fun


It should make it easier for showing who said what in a reply post.

I just hope PF can handle all the extra bandwidth this stuff is going to use.

If you make a post using all the various fonts, you can minimize the spell chack BS later

OK... the first few days home on the injured list where kind of fun what with no work and all, but now i'm getting kind of bored.

What are all of you guys and gals doing for fun out there?? The only excitement i've had all day over here is watching a bunny hopping around our front yard this morning while ESD threatened to kill the computer when he was working on his homework ... oh, and also watching the grass grow....

even baby Isabella is bored, she's been snoozing most of the day away..

  1. I'm planning on making it optional on a member-by-member basis, so folks can choose to go back to the old way if they want.
  2. You can still use HTML code by simply clicking the
    <> button before adding it. You can also use that button to see and edit the HTML that's produced by the editor.
  3. I'm trying to weed out bugs and weirdness in it, so if you have specific things that you can describe in detail or point directly to, please drop them off at the Bugs and Broken Links discussion, which is what's linked to in that note above the new tools. Also feel free to share your thoughts (positive or negative) on the new tool there.
  4. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the sudden New Weird Thing, unsettling the status quo. I understand that it causes discomfort -- please understand that it was done in a desire to better serve our members in their pursuit of expression and discussion.
