No, shouldn't be. I'm preparing a move to AWS so things may be better or worse whilst I tweak resource usage as that happens, but I'll give plenty of warning that it is happening.

you beat Facebook to having a "dislike", and "thank", just wondered if you were going to add  "love", "haha", "wow", "sad", and "angry" or equivalents ;)

for non fb ppl:

I can appreciate the idea admars but don't you think on a reasonably close site like this we're all capable of just posting up a couple of word reply?
Personally I'm happy to leave it at the three presently available.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

I was being facetious, as various ppl have said about the new "reactions", it's a bit ott, all ppl wanted was a "dislike".

i think emoticons are good enough generally, although they don't work on a mobile :(

should have added my profile editting reminder here :)

Let me see if I can knock something up over the bank holiday weekend!

Spent two hours trying to remember how all the code works, and hacked something together. Really need to rewrite the entire thing in Angular 2.0 when it comes out (and I understand it well enough and have cracked server side rendering), would make things much quicker to develop.

Anyway...

If you go to your forum profile page you should see two new buttons, one lets you upload a profile picture, and the other edit your forum signature.

Let me know of any problems.

I'm not v strong at JS, where I used to work, there was a guy there, really good, so he'd help me out with the js bugs I got lumbered with and stuff that had to be done in JS, and I'd help him with non web stuff, especially the legacy vb6 stuff :)

anway, yeh, I hear the kids like that angular stuff, it's the future :) I wanted to get into js, just not had the time :( I have a love hate relationship with JS, I know what it can do, but I'm such a noon I get frustrated by the silly things in it :( (you know like = or == or === ;) )

I was reading a funny thing the other day actually about development over the years, and it reminded me of somehting I had forgotten, I was at uni when JS came about, and it was just used for addinh ticker tape banners, clocks and the like to otherwise static html pages! it's come a long way in 20 years!

in any case, I can't see which page I can edit my profile!

I use Angular 1.x at work, and Node.js everywhere, and have been coding in JS for more years than I care to admit.

= for assignment is pretty common in any decent language, it's pretty much the same as in C/C++.

== is a comparison but it will attempt to convert to matching types whenever possible, which means false == "false"

=== will not convert to matching types so false !== "false", but what irritates me is the blanket "always use ===, never use ==" because it promotes ignorance of the language. Always do X is the same as never do Y, there is always a reason somewhere to do Y, and always one to not do X, learn the language then you'll know when you need to do ===, and the answer is really not that often.

And don't even get me started on Python. :)
