no idea what his jump was, but this is the "2012" movie parody video, which is one of the best things ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW2qxFkcLM0 (I use on my sci-fi wiki's page for 2012)

all for not closing tickets just because they are old... but did my bit to consolidate tickets (asked my video embed not working ticket to be closed, joined a larger ticket with the same problem)

@Killervp - you're welcome, tip of the hat to Lxcharon for starting the Cognitive Association thread, else I'd have had no idea how to embed images in the forums

one very generic / safe question to open with: there is the logical approach to writing sci-fi timeline / near-future geopolitical punditry... extrapolating from current events, reading sober analyses, etc. and then there is the fact that crazy u…

(this is after changing my background from a custom to a default, and all the errors are creating new pages with of course no text yet, or trying to saving new pages with very little text)

speaking of embedding video... is that getting fixed for our wikis or not? a little off-putting seeing grand discussions of embedding videos for PR blogs when you haven't fixed embedding videos in the actual product updated my help ticket (it wa…

fisticuffs at dawn it is and yeah, had 502 errors too - one at 1:38pm and another at 2:29pm, and a slow loading at 1:17pm EST, will add to help ticket

@ Andrew - thanks! @ Basileus - not to my knowledge, but I also have a problem with swearing vengeance against too many people... even once semi-inadvertently summoned an asteroid strike on a country I disliked (true story)... but don't drive on …

@ Andrew - okay to try stuff with my wiki editor sometimes it happens for me like SkidAce describes - suddenly it opens up like it should, and lose your place in the editng I have also experience two occasions today where it 'skips' and sudden…

@ Basileus: certainly feels that way, though I do feel stupid not noticing the different texture of the bottom right corner and figuring out how to expand the edit window myself (or, failing that, not asking question in the forums much much earli…

obviously this is way better than non-stop 502 errors, but, still, this is the hill I am fighting on today

I can drag the window open larger from the bottom right corner (that is the workaround... a work around that it would have been nice to have heard from OP tech support when I first sent in a ticket... literally would have spared me MONTHS AND MONTHS…

not encountering any 502 errors... good news weird/semi-bad news is now the secondary problem I've had, where the edit window doesn't fully open automatically (and OP never provided the workaround, I got that from forum users)... and the embed me…

okay, well, my 'endless spiral of geologic time' image was riffing of of killer's now-deleted image, because, you know, these problems seem to be eternal... going off of NikMak's last image instead: !http://image.yachtcharterfleet.com/image/ya…

of course it makes no difference... I've been a paying member for two years and complaining to the management about 502/504 errors for at least a year... at least they are responding and making promises right now in the last month or so, as oppos…

for my hard sci-fi setting: Asimov's Foundation series, the character of Hari Seldon and the idea of Psychohistory - has to be mentioned as a patron saint of my delusion/obsession about building/predicting a detailed and "realistic" future histor…

Before I got my current day job, I could go to the weekly colloquiums of a geophysical lab I once interned at and is still a hotspot for exoplanets research... sadly full-time employment gets in the way of that now http://exoplanet.eu/ is a good…

not seeing any 500 errors since the update... still have the issue in the wiki of the edit window not fully opening / sidebar menu which appears not functioning (e.g. "character link", "wiki link", "media embed", "image embed")... fellow forum po…

to be fair to circa 1980s astronomers, we had a pretty beautiful model of how planetary systems formation worked, reverse engineered from our solar system (4 rocky inner planets, 2 gas giants, 2 ice giants) that all made sense until we got more d…
