I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?

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.
Everyday Intern
Feb 10, 17 6:35 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?
Everyday Intern
Feb 10, 17 7:32 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).

Freelon doesn't design prisons, casinos or strip shopping centers, preferring libraries, museums and schools — "projects that contribute to society in some way," he said.
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.

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.

Feb 16, 17 10:35 am
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.

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...

How are you getting to those pages? Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?
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.
go to the beginning of the thread and hit "last", that sends you to page 1237

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.
hmmm...
Here it is... The view out the other way is across the valley. Oh, and the backside of the fireplace is the built in grill and iron doors (hence the huge size of the fireplace)
Wyoming, Montana or Colorado?
So mighty the bench seat can act as a butt-warmer?
That is nice. Jlc-1 is right, they want to enclose 2 a/c condensers and the pool equipment. Stamp is required because it's a 9,000 sq ft house
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.
first I hear of piping on sand setting base , was the plumber ok with this?
Didn't hear of complaints. Then again, I've heard rumors the property manager didn't like the idea of tracking sand into house and told them to grout.
It looks beautiful, mighty. Excessive, but beautiful, and definitely high quality. It's fun to work on that kind of project sometimes.
Just a heads up regarding the latest commenting updates. We've made fixes/enhancements:
Thanks! Could some of the updates be affecting the page numbering? Currently, TC is showing pages 1236, and 1237 with no content.
We're not seeing that - http://prntscr.com/e9oxoy
As soon as I posted it was gone ... though sometimes after making a new comment I have been taken to a page that is blank.
Could be related to browser caching.
Archinect, maybe an option to delete your own comment? sometimes edit doesn't do it....
We've been reluctant to do that because it would disrupt the flow of conversations. We're considering it. If we do release this, deleted comments would be replaced with something like "{username} has deleted his/her comment"
Don't know about browser caching, but it's doing it again ... from 1235, 1236, and 1237.
How are you getting to those pages? Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?
Cleared the cache and it is still doing it. I'm getting there by clicking "jump to last comment" from the forum main page. Here is a direct link to the page it takes me to: http://archinect.com/forum/thread/33434/thread-central/61800#last
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.
We're not able to replicate that problem. This is how it looks on our end - https://screencast.com/t/wnwh15DO
Threaded replies aren't counted in the pagination
go to the beginning of the thread and hit "last", that sends you to page 1237
That's essentially my question. Where threaded replies aren't included in pagination ... it looks like something is counting them and kicking me to page 1237 thinking there have been more than 61800 comments indicated by the URL "...61800#last"
Ok, we've figured it out. This bug will be fixed by tomorrow.
It was doing the extra pages for me earlier, but not now. Looks fixed!

Looks like it depends on whether the last comment was an inline reply or an original comment (parent comment)
I made this original comment (parent comment) and the post count is back down where it should be without counting inline comments.
Why can't I put dank memes in replies?
