moonshineshadow: Yep there is this friends invite stuff. Seems like they are working on the website. Would explain the gogbears and the strange internal error stuff

ddickinson: I wonder what happens if you click it and you don't have Galaxy? Also, I hope they don't start doing a friend counter thing, as that would just make people add everyone in an attempt to have the most friends.
I think I saw a counter on one of the screens. But honestly, I always thought it stupid if people start inviting everyone just because of that.

[edit] Yes, there is a counter, it can be seen in the first picture on the galaxy page.

moonshineshadow: I just realised this happens even if you are in the forum overview and mouseover the avatar of the thread OP.
So it does, I guess it is just tied to the avatar code.

But that is what people tend to do, just look things like Facebook (another thing I have never used, which according to one of my nieces makes me weird :-))

Oh well, then I guess I am going to end up with zero friends due to not using Galaxy. :-)

ddickinson: Good morning!

How are you today?

Have you seen the new Galaxy integration thing when you click on a person's avatar?
I was just coming in to ask about this.

Soccorro I just 'invited' you to see what happens. :P

I figure if something went wrong you'd be the least likely to take it personal. XD

ddickinson: [really big post...]
Interesting. Thanks for the info :-)

Of course, we never became more civilized about bombing Japan. That just got worse and worse as the war went on... ending, of course, with the atomic bombs (I don't understand, and will never understand :-\ ... I could rant quite a while about that topic...)

Heh... I like that "When the Americans shoot" quote... Very sadly true. We never improved on that. I don't know any statistics, but it sure seems like it has only gotten worse.

I feel kinda silly replying to your massive post with such a small one, but... oh well :-p

(As always, at least I don't take any offense. I know you don't mean any.)

Yeah I know that it happens with facebook, I still never really understood it. But then I am not using facebook so perhaps that is the reason ;-)

We can build a "zero friends" club :D

[edit] And why the heck do I have a red 1 for notification next to my account but not anywhere next to replies or updates. What the heck?

ddickinson: Except for those not using Galaxy. :-)
Come on! You're missing out something great! :D

In my opinion, that makes you sane. I check Facebook every once in a while to see how my friends and family are doing, but I was just telling a friend the other day that I have reached the point where I feel like a stalker just by logging in :-p
Okay that box popping up is starting to get annoying. :P My guess is nothing to turn it off.


And DD, I might try Galaxy just to see what if anything happens but that will most likely be the one that only time I do use it. You will not be alone.

But now all the others who are interested in this friend feature will be sad becasue you have not added them. :-)

What's this, and American admitting to some of his countries bad points. Okay, now I do believe you are not American and are in fact French. :-)

But you should be careful, it's one thing for a foreigner to mention such things about your country, if the NSA find out an American is doing it, then you will be held up on charges of treason. :-)

I have the extra counter as well, but no indication what it is for. Probably something to do with the optional client. :-)

I have the alpha version, since I love trying new stuff, so let me check if I already got an upgrade to beta, perhaps I can figure out what that is...

That would be the next step on the online friendship-meter! Inviting someone onto your online friendlist means becoming Online BFFs! That's some deep soulmate stuff you're missing out on!

I'm fine thank you.

Yeah, interesting... my Galaxy still hasn't updated to beta yet so I don't know whether it will do anything to click on it..

moonshineshadow: *welcome wave* Hope you are doing fine?
See above ;) *waves*

I can imagine many of the regulars not really using it, at least not when it comes to the forum, especially as Galaxy is just really a browser when it comes to the forum (as far as I know, I could be mistaken).

Yeah but I get the feeling that with my connection using Galaxy might slow this thing down to a crawl. Shit, it's already mega slow as is.
