didn’t look at thei via website because comcast would not authenticate me … on demand controlled by remote is way to tedious and ended with a stream that had no sound … all in all the experience sucked.

And regardless if it is displayed or not, this work is necessary for the system to clearly know where someone is at when they post a thought and other things now that they are freely roaming identity. You are still browsing as a penname from a group … I am browsing as a full roaming identity in my development and you don’t know how confusing that was when it first became possible … now it is clear … and seeing it clearly is helping me fix the system to be correct too

yeah i realize that things are in flux … yet even so system is quite understandable

No, it absolutely was not (before) except perhaps to you and Mark. Check out old posts by Winnie and others that I have read … this knowing where they were at was something you kept explaining to people. It’s not intuitive at all! I didn’t get it and I am very familiar with systems that do the same kinds of things as this one.

fine make it better

apparently a person has has some rights in groups in which they are not immediately signed on to. in that i edited this group seth thought. but i can not yet post a new thought in group seth.

Apparently FBI knows that you know the password to those groups. Must be reading your mind.

yeah part of that seems to work … but one still only makes a post in a group that one is signed on to.

the seth@news and seth@river kind of is confusing … i know i am in the news … i know i am in some group … or in the river … or in a tag room. all i need to know is who i am signed on to.

nathan@fbi 2016-01-11 09:50:09 [item 19566#41523]

Actually you don’t know that. It has always been uncomfortably confusing where one is at in this system. It is slowly becoming clear as the mud settles by my efforts. I have often done things like gone to the river and then followed a post then followed a comment and don’t have a frigging clue where I am actually at without looking at the little footnotes on posts and other things and then still not sure. Now, it is very clear, you are where you are @

seth 2016-01-11 09:55:06 [item 19566#41525]

strange i always always know where i am at here … primarialy because the river is blue … and a group room is green … and news is just toatally formatted differently … and a tag room is labeled differently at the top.

incidentally a permalink shoud not be shown on a blue background … you are not in the river when you are on a permalink … maybe that background should be just white.

nathan@fbi 2016-01-11 10:01:42 [item 19566#41527]

Backgrounds are not a good way to indicate things to users. Most users, me among them, see the background as scenery … I had no clue they have different colors … especially since the blue and the green are such close shades to each other … the green here is a very blue-green.

Of course you know where you are at, you designed the system. Please look at this from the perspective of new people … the last thing they would think has meaning is a background color and no one ever (except accountants) read help first.

For new people, the @news and @river will be extremely helpful and clear and obvious and they will get the system many times sooner having that clarity available to them. And it flows nice … nicely says nathan@seth right now … I know I am replying to something in seth.

That’s so cool! We havn’t had that coolness before.

seth 2016-01-11 10:08:26 [item 19566#41529]

thing is where you are in the system is NOT part of your identity. so maybe it sould say something more like “seth …. brwsing in the news” ….. or … “seth ……. looking at nathan “.

we designe for people who are used to using the system AND for newbies. i do frequently glance at the background to make sure where i am. if it tells me at the top in english that is fine too. i think we need both indications.

Yes, things are shifting. With unified roaming identities there is no longer a group that is part of your identity. You are just you, just nathan, just seth. Hence the @something no longer has meaning in that respect. Now it can be used in a way that is more semantically correct. It is saying you are here. You@Here … very clear and distinct. Your identity and where you are.
