OK thanks.
Gee I hope I didn't tread on anyone's toes here, my meaning was Nao's suggestion was fair and reasonable. Not intended as a slight on Suki...Apologies for the misunderstanding.

OK thanks, means OK thanks, as far as I understand thanks means I'm thankful on the help provided here.

I don't know what else do I need to say?  You don't want to help me, fair enough, thats why I said thanks and locked the topic to prevent more people inserting their opinions on whether or not they find it fair, its a shame the lock wasn't respected.

After years of maintaining and developing forums, I've learned to determine when someone is getting annoyed and is going to 'retire' their account, that's all I'm saying ;)

PS: I posted here because it was on-topic with what I had to say yesterday. By locking the topic again, you're preventing regular people from giving their opinion on my AJAX tweaks.

I already said thanks, I understood your reasons and said thanks, I honestly don't know what else do you want from me or why do you think I wasn't been grateful...  It does bother me the fact that I always said thanks for the help received here and yet you post a month later saying I wasn't...

As for me "retiring" I've been login here fairly often and I've been reading most if not all the post and topics since then, me not posting doesn't mean anything (it means I do not have anything to add to any topic posted here) so please do not make wrong assumptions and specially do not make false impressions of me not being thankful and grateful for your help just because I didn't posted anymore, that was just a coincidence if anything.

As for how much on topic this was, I dunno, you want to re-write some template, thats far from what I wanted to do, as far as I know you have specific boards for Wedge features/discussions, this was a generic jQuery problem that has nothing to do with whatever approach you're doing for Wedge.

I respectfully request for the lock to stay in place to avoid people to keep posting about my issue (or any other topic derivate of it) and instead create a new topic on whatever board it fits the most where people can only focused on your ideas. Or at least do not jump to wrong conclusions about my lack of posting here.

Thanks.

No, it's not that -- I really don't have time to look into old topics... Heck, there are still dozens (hundreds?) of topics I have yet to read for the first time... I simply did a search on 'returnAjax', so as not to open a new topic for something I remembered I'd discussed before, and found your topic... So I replied to it, and also mentioned that the fact that your last post was that particular one (and you hadn't posted in weeks), pretty much implied that the 'thanks' was along the lines of 'thanks for all the fish', if you know what I mean.... ;)
There's nothing else to be found in my post...

Yes, I know, when I posted, your last login date was April 6, so you'd just gone back into lurking mode, and I just...

Oh, crap, I'm falling into my own trap, and I'll just repeat myself over and over. Let's not waste on this, all right? I'd rather work on Wedge than have to explain myself... :-/

The post above refuses to get 'read'... I can refresh the page all I want, it always says 'New' in this topic, and on the homepage...
VERY, very strange.

Note that I quick-edited it once.

:edit: Once my reply was posted, it fixed itself. Also, my new reply wasn't marked as 'New' in this topic. I guess it really only happens when quick-editing...

:edit: This quick-edit persisted the 'New' state for two refreshes. After the third one, it was back to normal. Still, the previous post -- after 4 or 5 refreshes it was still retaining its unread flag...

:edit: Second quick-edit worked as expected, i.e. no 'Unread' flag anywhere, including in the homepage... Oh, my! That's very interesting...

.___.  then why the mention about me not been grateful ???  that is what bothers me...  there is no "thanks for the fish" or whatever you call it, it is a simple and mere "thanks" meaning "thank you"... There's nothing else to be found in my post...

I don't know what do I need to do to you realize my thanks are just that, simple thanks, nothing more. nothing was implied there, I locked the topic because there was nothing else to discuss and no one else were going to help me, thus, the topic being open was pretty much pointless and the only possible way to go was to keep discussing your reasons for not helping me, something I certainly wasn't interested on discuss since I understood your reasons in the first place and thanked you already.

It is I the one that is repeating myself, I already said thanks as many times as it can be said without losing its meaning, again I do not know what else do you want.

Been in lurking mode is a bad thing here? I don't know about you but I just don't post on any topic for the sake of posting, also, I'm not here 24/7, I usually enter here from my phone, do check the main page and if there is an interesting topic I read it, if I have something to say, I say it, if not I left the site as simple as that.

I posted looking for help here because I felt sufficiently confident in actually asking for help from you guys, I realized that was a mistake, I recognized your reasons, I thanked you and all the people who helped me and that was it, I went back to my old routine of checking the site, I honestly don't know how that can be misinterpreted in any way...  I actually have been talking to Arantor and never ever told him about this topic or anything related to your response or me been mad because of your response because there is no issue with it.

So please, once again, do not misinterpret my posting or actions or the lack thereof.
And once again, there is no "thanks for the fish", "ungratefulness", "unfriendliness" or any other bad action on my part. Thank you, means thank you.

If you do not want to waste time on this then I suggest you to accept the fact that I was thanking you and nothing else, do not look for any issues where there is none.
