I had the STRANGEST dream. DU had weird colorful buttons, and...

[NYC_SKP]

the recs were gone and replaced with colorful buttons with strange words and everyone was arguing!

At first the buttons were on the left, then they were on the right.

And you couldn't just type "K & R" anymore!

"Average" threads were really flame wars and there were even "Skip it" ratings! How mean!

Phew, I'm glad it was just a dream....or the worst hangover, ever.

:party:

[Jeroen]

1. K&R!

:rofl:

[renate]

8. I had the same dream... my favorite part

...was when we didn't have to hit the "back" button on the browser after recommending a thread. It seemed like such a good idea... the kind of brilliant innovation that only comes in dreams. Then I woke up, and we still have to do that after all. :(

[NYC_SKP]

11. That was one of the good parts of the dream, it's true.

They should still be able to do that, but on the other hand, it might prevent "over use" of the rec function.

Having to hit back makes the recs more sincere, a little.

:hi:

[FlyingSquirrel]

9. Average

:D

[Brundle_Fly]

10. YAY

YAY

[valerief]

12. I MISS THE NEW DROPDOWN!!!! I really liked it.

:hurts:

[NYC_SKP]

13. Every thing new is old again...

:silly:

[NYC_SKP]

25. You were in my dream?

Were you dressed like "Jeannie" from I dream of Jeannie?

That was kewl!

[deadparrot]

14. So glad this is relevant to GD:P. nt

[NYC_SKP]

16. So, go run and tell a mod...

it's a party! :party:

[deadparrot]

21. Nah, I save my parties for events bigger than

the disappearance of a column on a message board. :)

[NYC_SKP]

23. I guess it's a little like gravedancing, without the green blood and pizza.

But we do have coffee and beer... :donut: :toast:

[Shardik]

15. Funny! I kind of agree.

:)

[grannie4peace]

17. it made me do a double-take

i like some things about the new way & some things about this way.i liked not having to go back a page after you rec something. i like just rec or not.

[NYC_SKP]

33. I blinked a couple times, then left the room and came back...

...who knows, it might have changed back!

[grannie4peace]

35. rotfl

:rofl: :rofl:

[sweetroxie]

18. Why am I not seeing what everyone else is?

I don't see the colorful changes that so many are complaining about. I still have the usual words to choose from, e.g. Recommend, etc. Am I in an alternative universe?

[NYC_SKP]

22. Yes sweetroxie, unless you shared "the Dream"...

When was the last time you visited DU?

You might have missed it!

[cliffordu]

19. I HAD THE SAME DREAM!!!!!

I sure am glad we all woke up.

[Arugula Latte]

20. Wasn't that an episode of "Dallas"?

[dascientist]

24. AVERAGE

[IDemo]

26. My solution works, if you're using Firefox->

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4079170&mesg_id=4079170

Or you can simply use AdBlock, but you won't like the result as well.

[NYC_SKP]

28. Too late now, we're back to the old page, right?

Or am I still dreaming?

[IDemo]

30. I just saw that

Oh well, learned a bit of Javascript, anyway..

[PBS Poll-435]

27. You evil genius, you.

Your Tread:
"Obama is a poopie head" "DU this PBS Poll" "Bill Clinton (fill in blank)"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7158027&mesg_id=7158027

May have saved us all from the colorful buttons.


:patriot:

[NYC_SKP]

29. It's locked! "Obama is a poopie head" is locked!

I'm sure it was paramount in Skinner's decision. :sarcasm:

:hi:

[chill_wind]

31. :-) LOL! I still K & R'd anyway

K & R!

[tandot]

32. now...there is a "Must Read"

[NYC_SKP]

34. Big kisses for everyone in the house!

I'm buying! :toast:

[jazzjunkysue]

36. In your dream, was skinner abducted by freeper zombies from hell?

And replaced by Tucker Carlsen?

[NYC_SKP]

37. Well, yes, only worse...

All he had on was his bow tie!!!

Got that visual, that mental image, yet?

:evilgrin:

[jazzjunkysue]

38. Locking.

:hi:

[NYC_SKP]

40. That would have been an appropriate action!

Ya got me! I've never seen "Locking" in my MyDU page.....(not yet).

:toast:

[jazzjunkysue]

41. LOL!

[nilram]

43. everyone was arguing? that was a dream?

I didn't think "skip it" was so mean. Just a way to say "not up to par" without calling it "disruptive". Anyway, I take it all pretty lightly.

[bunnies]

44. And now we have gems like this on the greatest page again.

oh joy.
