is it your doing webby?

whats the crack with it?

 

[webmaster]

Just testing something that can automatically post news items as new threads.

 

[webmaster]

It's scheduled to run on the hour, so we'll see if it's working properly in a few minutes.

 

[webmaster]

It's working properly - not sure how useful it will be though.

If it ends up posting loads of new threads no one is interested in it will just be a pain in the arse. I'll probably give it a day to see how much stuff comes through.

there is loads of new threads with this newsbot, too many IMO

There's loads to start with because it's catching up with a lot of old ones.

I don't know how many there will normally be in a day, that's why I said I'd give it a day to see how many we get.

the machine is taking over. when one of us posts news it causes discussion. but newsbot can suck my .. :icon_bigg

 

[Melton Fox]

Agree. Great Idea but my new posts section is full of newsbot sories that I don't care about. I vote it out

Newsbot = SkyNet

As soon as it becomes self-aware we are in big trouble, mark my words.

create a newsbot area somewhere, then it can post as much as it likes without hassleing anyone too much.

Yes Mr Connor, it's time for your medicine now....

Can there not be a function where we highlight a whole list of threads and then mark them as read. Like you can in outlook? Then we could just read the ones we are interested in and ignore the other ones. Can we do this already?

We wouldn't want that now would we...

I dont like it, the cricket forum has been left a mess by it.

 

[webmaster]

I've turned off the cricket and football ones.

I've left the music one on, until I know if it's any good. It should just post when there's a new CD review and should only be a few a week, so won't be so annoying.

Can you do the same with some of the Posters ?
