Re:Why you should not use Twitter for corporate customer service on Monday January 07, 2013 @11:12AM (#5021653)

I've had similar experiences. Recently my internet provider discontinued this service, and I'm not sure why. Luckily, the Social Media team were able to be transferred to other departments (and not completely laid off).

My guess is that they were losing a lot of money doing this. (Back story) I've had an on-going problem for about 2 years about slow speeds and contacted the BBB because nothing was being done after numerous complaints over the phone. They did a fix and the problem still continued. I've posted on DSLReports and my ISP's Social Media team helped me out so I continued to use them. I've received numerous credits to my account by just complaining to the SM team, which I think is more than fair--even though I didn't specifically ask for credits.

I'm just tired of seeing memes on places of "serious business," as bti points out.

I'm more shocked that they even allow images to be embedded in comments.

Yes.

How about SSH-keygen? That is, the same with committing to GitHub and logging in to SSH via putty with pageant?

I'm sure there are quite a bit of downsides to this method and it will resort to even logging in with some sort of "password."

Unable to duplicate. I'm using Google Chrome as well.

Is reddit blocked?

That's what I was thinking. However, maybe people shouldn't be posting sensitive files up there in the first place anyhow. I just worry when someone randomly guesses a link and stumbles upon an "sensitive" file.

Looks nice.

All I can think of is a quick custom 404 page or some less cryptic exceptions rather than the PHP errors/notices when a file is not found.

Suggestion: file deletion? private? (This may be abused?)

I understand endless scrolling, but not sure if you intended for the footer to be static. Just lookin' out :)

I'm having trouble accessing the footer of your site (looking for an About link). Every time I scroll down a new group of photos load and pushes the footer down even further.
