@Scimonster Hi! To alert you (privately) to a typo. And I found the email address, in the end, by visiting your Stack Exchange profile and clicking through to your GitHub profile. :)
Is there a commercial service offered to general public that allows you to celebrate the new year several times?
The idea is that you would celebrate it in a time-zone and than move to the next one arriving there before new year.
Of course this is relatively easy to accomplish by yourself if you...
....AFAICT, no one suggested Jewish New Year, but the date line was mentioned ;-)
@unforgettableid An easier way to do that would probably be to just leave a comment on the post, I think. Besides for the inbox notification, you also keep context very easily -- the typo is in the post you commented on! .....the other easier solution, IMO, would be to (suggest an) edit (to) the post yourself; just fix it.
> you could hop across a land border with a large time difference, eg. you gain 3.5 hours when you cross from western China (UTC+8) to Afghanistan (UTC+4.5), although in this particular example neither place is exactly party central.
BTW, you can reply to messages (adding that back arrow) by hovering over the message you want to reply to, and clicking the reply arrow (on the right).
@VincentCalabrese Your example is a poor one, then. You could edit your question to clarify that point, although (due to site policy) you should try to do so in a way that does not invalidate existing answers. — YeZ13 secs ago
I don't have a real method to which comments I choose to transport here.
Speaking of ads, I think it would be nice to have a community ad for our publications. Something like "Download our special publications for Pesach, Purim, and Chanukah! for text, but I've no idea about (nor ability to implement) the graphics. Thoughts? Designers?
@msh210 Subsequent comment (and edit) actually makes it a dupe of the question you linked to, in your first comment there. Should we open and close, then?
@msh210 True :)
@Scimonster I was going to try for that one, but I got caught up writing a longer answer. I probably should have written them earlier, like some people in Bam did. I currently have two answers in the running for Red Baron......maybe
@Scimonster Congrats!
@MonicaCellio That's a really good idea; cc @IsaacMoses
@Scimonster oh, huh -- I hadn't realized there was a network-wide leaderboard. If I'd noticed earlier I might have been able to boost my position there. Aside from Mi Yodeya and to an extent MSE, I haven't really been paying attention to my hat-earning potential. But I'm active lots of other places... oh well, next year!
Oh wait -- it's still unique hats, so duplicates don't help. So maybe I could have gotten a Red Baron or even 30 Minutes on Workplace, but that wouldn't have helped enough. Never mind.
@Scimonster yeah, I found it. I'd been looking at this site's leaderboard but hadn't noticed that the overall one (a) was there and (b) had an entry for "Stack Exchange network". The top hat-earners there earned all the hats (38), including Eureka; at 32 hats I was never close.
@Scimonster I thought you wanted a mod for lack of required score. If you want, you can retag an abraham question with avraham and then I'll suggest it as a synonym. And then 4 others can vote on it. Yeah, maybe just find a mod.
@Shokhet Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and Breath of Fire are all old video games (although they made newer ones). Mega Man was a robot, and he had a blue helmet. In fact, extra lives in Mega Man were symbolized by helmets lying around. Final Fantasy and Breath of Fire were RPG's, in which you could get armor.
Make the network-wide leaderboard searchable. This is already implemented on the site-specific leaderboards. Compare:
