A new look for BOINC message boards?

I wonder if SETI will follow suit?

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

I moved the rest of the conversation about the forum changes to the Einstein & BOINC forums make-over discussion thread. Please continue it there.

Dunno what kind of experiment this new format is, but I for one do NOT care for it at all.

Meow.

Your view is welcome mark, but Jord has moved our replies to somewhere else. It would be good if we all spoke with one voice in the same place.

Meow back.

Upon further review, I guess the format is not too bad.
The font is pretty good on tired eyes.
Seems to be a lotta extra white space, but maybe just the way folks are posting.

But, quoted text in bold????

IMO this is much better than Drupal.

Down again.

Oh no......
Not again.
Trying to contact Eric or Jeff.

Meowsigh.

The guys have been very generous with their time on the weekend in the past.
If one of them gets the message and wishes and is able to do something today, they shall.
If not, I certainly do not begrudge them their time off.
I simply attempt the contact, and it is up to them to do as they wish to if they even get the message.
No harm, no foul.

Of course, if the nature of this crash requires a drive to the colo, I would not expect anything to happen until midday tomorrow in Berkeley.

Don't I know it.....
And yet they manage to, most of the time.

I continue to be amazed at the music they play on that pianola in the new Westworld series. The episode we saw tonight had The Cure's 'A Forest'. Had to play it three times to recognize it.

Of course, having a shoot out going on while 'Paint it black' is being played was already epic. Or Radiohead's 'No surprises'. I beg to differ, we are constantly surprised.

And that's separate from the great questions that the show brings, are the androids still androids, or are they now more humanoid? What about their maker? Or the co-inventor, is he truly dead? Finally asking the questions that we feel that Michael Crichton had wanted us to ask about his original book.

If you haven't seen this show yet, but you have the chance to do so (it's on HBO), do make an effort of watching it. You won't be disappointed.

I saw the original Westworld film in 1973 starring Yul Brynner, and the Futureworld sequel in 1976.

I've got them both on dvd and still a good watch

Haven't you realised lately they seam to be "remaking " every single program / series that's ever been on Battlestar Galactica , Knight Rider , Yes Minister and " V " just to name a few .
I think the "clever " people have run out of idea's just coz you can add in CGI DON'T make things better than the originals , in my opinion some of the "better" remakes are a pile of steaming shi#e compared to the Originals , and as such should of been left well alone

And.....we are down.
First test of the new format for some who have not been here since the last outage, I suppose.

They really really need to sort Caroline out though.

From what I understand the problem is with the raid card. Dunno if they already have plans in place to replace it or if a donation campaign is needed to fund a new one.

SETI@home is temporarily shut down for maintenance. Please try again later.
