Mentally re-arranging the fabric of a thread (ooh, that's good analogy fail right there, it is) is no big deal to me. So what say the denizens of this den? What does a member's response to time warps say about a person?

It's annoying, but sometimes amusing. It's a wash.

to me, its not a big issue, just one more pie on a pile of cow shit...It screws with the continuity of discussions which just plain sucks. My biggest gripe is the failure of the search function. I don't want to fight with a textbox, I want to type what I want and get a result...Also the lack of support from fusetalk over the years is frustrating. If I had to fight with a vendor so hard to get something fixed and after months (if not years) the problem still exists I'd have thrown them on their ass a LONG time ago.

We're pretty much in agreement. I was thinking time warps would cause aspies to brain hemorrhage.

It's funny. When I post on other forums, I almost expect it to timewarp. Fusetalk has scarred me for life.

If it happened more often in the tech forums, it would bother me. Here in the free for all that is OT, it is usually quite amusing.

I'm wondering if we are the only forums to ever have this issue.

Good point. Most of the posts here are not too serious or are nef posts, so it's not that bad.

I've had double timewarps. Still hoping for a triple some day.

I found it amusing at first but now it really irritates me.

It's mostly the OP not being the first post that annoys me. I scan the OP and decide whether to continue reading or not, then I realize it makes no effing sense and I gotta decide whether it's the poster who makes no sense (which is no rare occurrence) or if its a time warp.

Why did they start happening in the past year or so? I remember when I was in college 2004-2006 the forums seemed to function great. That was when I racked up my 4000 posts.

Although in just the past day or so I seem to have to close and open my browser to get a reply done. (it just stalls at times... well about 75% of the time)

Free for all? This is the most heavily policed 'free for all' I've ever heard of.

I swear, I time warped in a dream the other night. I just remember feeling in my dream that the succession of events somehow did not make sense so I was trying to figure out if it was a glitch.

I check for timewarps on other forums too.

I've grown to love the timewarps. It's like a bad joke that gets funny eventually.. or something

It's frustrating, in that a forum software's most basic aspect should be the ability to show posts in the order they come in. It's a pretty major flaw given the software it is appearing in. In some threads, it creates funny situations, however in other's it just creates a clusterfuck.

It should be fixable and fixed by now by any software standards. I don't know what that says about me, however I deal with application issues on a regular basis and perhaps I'm just projecting the requirements that are pushed on me on a regular basis.

OP below.

where? :confused:

I think he faked a timewarp of his own thread, and hoped that someone would quote his OP (which Crono did).

I thought he was trying to make it seem as time warp took place and drive the OCDers insane looking for the actual OP.
