[Forum Stats for Jan' 11]

Hah! Someone down-rated BGK for posting the forum stats? That was... Interesting.

Can't win them all :-/

[Relocating / Shipping]

For shipping these guys are good (friends have used them between EU and USA): http://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/

For cell phones: without a credit history you'll have to pay a deposit (~350 bucks for AT&T and Verizon). This will be refunded after 1 or 2(?) years.

[Academic Complex because of Funding]

Cool it folks.

[Spam Reporting]

The current implementation of the spam report button is not cross-browser; at least, it does not work in IE because you're using getElementsByClassName method which is not supported by IE. You may want to provide your own implementation of getElementsByClassName or take an off-the-shelf one, e.g. http://robertnyman.c...name-anno-2008/ - this example is rather bloated (due to being designed to work with sequences of class names which may contain wildcard characters), but it seems to be quite cross-browser at first glance.

Thanks Victor. I'll take a look at this when I get some time and find a Windows machine to test things on.

[Record Broken]

I noticed that you guys broke it yesterday. Good job! Wednesdays seem to be the busiest days, so maybe another record tomorrow? Around this week and next seem to be historically the busiest weeks for admissions, so probably for the forum too.

Good luck to all!

[Do professor read this forum]

pretty much why my stuff is kind of vague...

(although with my name, I meant to type "gal" and not "gay" but meh, that doesn't bother me. :-)

You can change your display name .. :-)

[Downtime 6-7pm EST]

Oh this was yesterday. Already done!

[Downtime 6-7pm EST]

Hi Guys,

The forum and results board will be down sporadically between 6 and 7pm this evening. Sorry for the short notice.

[Spam Reporting]

Thanks for adding the new spam report feature on the results page! Hopefully the number of asinine and frustrating posts will go down now

Welcome. :-)

[Spam Reporting]

Ah, earlier they just said "spam" and were unclickable. But all is well now.

You should only see "report spam" when your mouse is over that row. Does it look different on your browser?
