I'd rather see a permanent edit ability followed by an "Edited by" note instead of lacking an ability to edit. They a ban-hammer for anyone using the edit to troll, trap, lie, or otherwise abuse people.

 

Also the ability to delete a post at any time. Sometimes it's the best course of action.

Feb 10, 17 6:27 pm  ·

I'd like to see an 'edited' tag of some sort anytime a post has been edited, but I like the time limit as it is. You get something like 15 minutes to regret what you post, and then it is permanent. Makes some people think twice about what they might say.

Doesn't Archinect allow you to request posts be deleted by contacting them directly?

Feb 10, 17 6:35 pm  ·

The ability to rely on someone's post you are responding to, to be constant and not changing is important. Even 15 minutes can be long sometimes. That's why many people started copying the exact text they were responding to in many of your dumpster fire threads. Because they realized that you would post it, then change or delete it (replacing it with a period).

Donna, it appears I can not reply to your post directly as Max, but it would be possible if someone else (that may need some work). I am a tough guy to write sometimes, even for myself self. i cant seem to write me out of this characters current mood right now....anyway, those post were 100% channeled fox news. the last one though is a case and point, which is indeed uncharactistally mean, but now that we can ignore people can we also ignore entire thread posts? remember that 1000 page post on something political that had nothing to do with architecture where the 2 mentioned above contributed greatly to. that would be great to, to ignore threads entirely, to encourage ignore "ance" to just not see threads and news that are annoying or offensive or whatever....from a Max journalist standpoint - archinect has folded for all the wrong reasons. Rick did write an essay on fake news after this, did Max read all of it? don't know how Hunter S. Thompson did all this writing on substances.

So, husband is out of town for V-Day. He left Friday, so he bought me a cake Friday and left it at home for me to find after work.  It's from the Mexican bakery he's been going to a lot lately, and when I opened the box I saw a lovely petite white cake with red lettering saying "My Boo".

This struck me as hilarious because my husband despises internet meme culture and I can't imagine him even knowing the word "boo" to be used in that way at ALL.  Using it for me is such a sweet acknowledgement of how much more interested in pop culture I am than he is. I texted him that he's funny and so unpredictable and that's part of why I love him so much.

He responded by saying "The cake I pointed at in the case said "My Love" on it. I don't know what they gave you. What does "boo" mean?" LOL

beta you are going about it the wrong way. even if they take what they think the drawings to CD level it would not be adequate no matter how they spin it, as they are not from your jurisdiction and presumably, as required by state, you have to do the CA anyway... the law arguement is obvious. you need to make the quality control arguement. if you are not doing the drawings you cannot help with the bid negotiations, you cannot get or navigate board and or city approvals and most importantly you cannot control the job with real "working drawings". in my experience, even if the firm is world renowned and provides you DDs almost CDs, you will end up redrawing everything anyway based on local standards.

that reminds me, i think my deck proposal for a pretty famous lawyer's deck/terrace has fizzled out.  

I asked for $2,500, a lot for a deck, but it really looked like a lot of work, stone cladding, structural steel, hvac units, egress issues, and a g.c. who "just needs a stamp."

^to keep the gold plated joists at an ideal temperature. Duh.

I would also think a series of ducts lining the stair treads which blow dramatic smoke as one descends would be obvious hvac need for any backyard deck.

lol... Last summer I did design a stone bench with radiant heat as well as the sand set stone pavers with dual setting radiant heat (snow melt or actual heating) on a private mountain deck.  Had to create a hobbit hole mechanical room and tool shed below all this.  Even an actual working Rumford fireplace to boot.

I hear it all works quite well.  Pretty cool what you can do with unlimited funds.

Yes, there are radiant tubes in the thickset reinforced grout bed below the 3" natural limestone seat and back.  1" insulation below that to hopefully at least focus the heat; concrete base (4" stem wall behind the bench back).  To account for the eventual stone popping from the thermal, each stone is also mechanically clipped (edge clipped) so it won't come off.  

The floor was harder.  It's makeup is 3" stone, sand base with radiant piping, 1" insulation, geofabric, gravel base with intercept drain system where over dirt.  Half of it is over a room, so above plus, waterproofing, 6" cip concrete sloped roof with cip beams, bastardizing a perimeter drain like a gutter at the edge of the below grade room.  

The radiant idea actually came from the client's brother who has a tall radiant screen wall / wind break around his outdoor dining area.  I have no idea how much lag time there is with the hidden system to heat that 3" stone.  Probably not the direction I would have gone given the cost and effort and very slow heating (no impromptu "lets sit on the deck and enjoy the blizzard moments").  But... It's pretty cool to have something unique like this. 

This is in the Colorado high mountain area.  And none of the stone is manufactured.  It's all real just like the heavy timber.

Just a heads up regarding the latest commenting updates. We've made fixes/enhancements:

  • you can now reply to your own comment
  • when someone replies to your comment, you will now receive an email notification with a link that will take you directly to the reply/comment
  • the "last comment" indicated in the forum index/list pages will no longer reflect replies to other comments
  • and a few other tweaks that will improve the experience...

Feb 16, 17 6:54 pm  ·

Could it be related to the total post count and the number of replies per page? It used to be 50 comments per page. Now with inline replies the total count isn't exactly reflective of the number of pages. 61,701 to get on page 1235. 61,751 to get on page 1236. 61,801 to get to page 1237.
