The one thing I'd really, really like...
Another forum I frequent (for educators) is quite similar to this one in terms of setup. One thing I can do there that I really wish I could do here is get a preview of each thread by hovering over the title. Sometimes I sit here on MR with the cursor hovering for several seconds before I remember that nothing's going to show up. Then I'm sad.
Is that neat little trick a possibility here? Nobody likes a sad penguin.... Last edited by GraceKrispy; 10-10-2010 at 06:14 AM. Reason: belatedly fix my grammar and add a little somethin' somethin', even though you can see my mistakes in Geoff's quote! |

If we're creating a wish-list, I'd like to share a little thing that drives my anal-retentive soul crazy...
You can only give even-numbered Karma (and if you enter an odd number, it rounds down), so for people - like GraceKrispy here - with odd karma, you can never bring them to a nice round (and even) number! I know, it's anal retentive. So I'm anal retentive. It still bugs me! |

OMG! What??? How did I get odd karma?? WHO DID THIS TO ME???
I'm a little freaked out.. I've never noticed the even vs odd, or even that you couldn't give odd karma. I'm damaged goods! eta wait, it's not just me! Dreams and Donna have odd karma too! yaay, I'm not alone! Maybe *you're* the odd one, FW! (still wondering how we got odd karma if you can only give even!)

So if you had an odd number when that change went in, you stayed "odd". I've tried to give "odd" karma to bring someone to an even number, and it just drops the odd "1" (for example, an offer of "41" karma is applied as "40"). |

Individually of course. I am not crazy enough to believe that you, dreams and I stepped on the same butterfly at the same time in our past lives.
Just thought I should clarify that. |

If the rest of you are odd, why am I an even one ?

This is all very interesting and illuminating (thank you, FW, for that explanation... I guess once you're "odd," you're always "odd?"), but let's get back to it.
hovering preview, please! I think I got a second from Geoff.... (my odd karma will haunt me to my dying days) |
