Oh, yah.  I kept clicking, left button, right button, wiggled the scroll wheel... nuthin'.  It's waaaay down at the bottom of the screen in itty-bitty characters.  I just didn't have my itty-bitty glasses on.  Or my waaaay down glasses either.

Can't get my number to show, though.  ???

EDIT: Couldn't find it in the page inspector, either.

EDIT: Ah! :facepalm: of course, it's in the URL request that opens a user profile. Duh. I was looking in the inspector and everywhere else for a 'stats' box or tooltip popup. Thanks 230. (and Warren)

“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.
-Marty Beckerman (from a Wired article of all things)

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

EDIT: Couldn't find it in the page inspector, either.

In internet explorer, it's wayyyy down at the bottom of your screen in teeny tiny script.  

Move your cursor over your screen name on your post without clicking, and shift it back and forth while keeping an eye on the bottom of the screen for something to flip on and off as you move the cursor on and off your screen name on a post of yours.  It doesn't seem to work for the "HELLO 230RN" or in your case, "HELLO CypherNinja" in the page header, but only on the name on your (or another's) post.

Hope that helps.

I am delighted to see the forum that was originally meant as a goof-off corner of THR develop its own culture, superior and fun. I've been distracted by other commitments recently, but the moderators and the members have kept APS alive and thriving. I hope to participate more going forward.

Nice of you to check in Oleg!

It's still a goof off corner of the web but we sure do appreciate the place.

We've even managed to remain somewhat polite...kind of...well, we try.

I think that is my excuse for 92+ days online; surprised it isn't higher actually.

I actually hope no one at work sees my time of day activity stats.   =D

"I actually hope no one at work sees my time of day activity stats.   grin"

Shhhh.  Cats.  Bags.  Let out of.  IT Dept. scanning.  

I worried a little about that, too, before I retired.  I kept thinking that since I had a somewhat flexible schedule, I could always claim that I only netted during my long-overdue and well-deserved breaks, which were at random times.  I tried to keep the "humps" near 10:00AM and 3:00PM.

Since retiring, I don't care.

I'm now thinking maybe this whole thread should be deleted, not just locked, but that decision is up to the mods and admins.  [tinfoil]

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

You're welcome.  It was a real mystery to me until I accidentally noticed the blinking as I moved the cursor over my name.  There are some things which require very specific instructions, like a clockwise turn is required to tighten a screw.  Things that are obvious to you and me may not be so to others.

As an example, someone recently told me about a younger person who didn't know what "clockwise" meant.  In this digital age, I did not think that was surprising.

So then I told him that "doesil" is clockwise, and "widdershins" is counter-clockwise.

He looked at me as if I had bats in my belfry.

I think I remember the total time logged in being discussed before and it was believed that it doesn't actually count idle hours.

Hope to see you participate more in the future Mr. Volk.

I'm a newbie!! :lol:

I spend way too much time on this site, but, in all fairness it's pretty much my only forum anymore.

And Ron, I shall always be happy to apply a smack down when needed.  :angel:
