Probably was editing one of his posts, which is a moderator feature.

i thought it just says "posting" when they do that.

I think PFT is correct, but can't think of how I'd test it at the moment.

btw mater are those guests real users or they bots?

MaterDominici · « **Reply #5 on:** September 01, 2011, 09:55:39 PM »

I'm not sure about that either. (How helpful am I!

)

The software originally called all bots guests, but then there was an upgrade that recognized Google, etc as bots. For all I know, though, there's a "new bot in town" that isn't being recognized as such. And, besides the fact that I don't think they update this software anymore, Matthew has changed it too much to be able to upgrade.

Matthew might know as he looks at the stats from time to time, but I wouldn't imagine there'd be much difference between an avid lurker and a not-so-thorough bot.

Maybe this post which basically says I know nothing will get his attention. :read-paper:

haha "new bot in town". that is a play on "new kid in town" by the eagles i believe. it was one of their bigger hits.

well it okay to keep it a mystery.

I saw one of the bots printing one time. I thought it was strange. What couls Yahoo Slurp have to print?

what scroll down feature?

wallflower · « **Reply #10 on:** September 03, 2011, 04:24:19 PM »

We can use the arrows to scroll down the page now instead of having to drag the bar at the right.

Haven't you heard? Roscoe is now a mod!

He told me his first act of business will be to ban 98% of members and open a "Ganja" section of the forum.

:wink:

You think the problem was on my part? That would be very strange. The mouse on the desktop and the arrows on the laptop work perfectly for every other website I go to. This is the only website where they did not work. Every time I've come here, and it's been a year, I've tried to use them out of habit, they don't work and then I remember, Oh yeah, we have to use the bar for CathInfo. Then it worked! Just recently. Nothing has changed on my part, so I thought it must have been something on your part. I remember someone else complaining about it not long ago so I thought Matthew must have done something.
