Customizable option would be awesome! It's all I ask

For now....

while we are wishlisting... I would LOVE to be able to just completely erase some of my posts, not just edit them

I noticed my karma would be odd then even. I think it is because new members start out giving the odd amount? I noticed it when newbies gave me karma for help.

No, it has a colon.

Yes please, if you do this thing do make it optional! I hate those hover preview thingies, they scare me

Are you sure? I'll go test it... I'm pretty sure I have given and received odd karma in the past.

I gave you odd to your even, and you've stayed even ....

FlorenceArt · 10-11-2010, 09:16 AM

And I tried it on GK and she's still odd, so maybe it's true.

GeoffC · 10-11-2010, 09:17 AM

GK is odd ..... (is that better'n weird?)

GraceKrispy · 10-11-2010, 01:51 PM

Odd is most certainly better than grotesque and cruel and stupid and any other number of adjectives that I hope would never be used to describe me.

I had this boring, unoriginal friend in high school who would constantly say to me "you are so odd!" So perhaps this is "life" imitating, uh, dumb comments!

I'm learning to embrace my oddness, no matter how many try to change me!

Well, the thing is, if two people try to make you even at the same time, you will end up being odd again, even if it worked. Maybe we should organize things, take turns or something...

kindlekitten · 10-11-2010, 02:03 PM

I personally embrace my oddness! ;o)

Ooh, like an organized karma ring. Sounds interesting. I'm game!

Is that neat little trick a possibility here? Nobody likes a sad penguin....

Update: In your user control panel, under options, you can now enable thread preview the way you described it.
