| 19:27.22 | Ch0Hag | Where is the bloody 'sell stuff' button on ebay? |
| 19:27.40 | antiphase | On the front page usually |
| 19:27.46 | Ch0Hag | Why does every company that tries to make money off the internet make it so bloody hard to do so? |
| 19:28.02 | antiphase | http://sell.ebay.co.uk/sell |
| 19:28.10 | antiphase | On the front page, with the legend "Sell" |
| 19:28.58 | Ch0Hag | Ah here it is. The fourth menu item from the bottom opens a page letting you sell stuff. |
| 19:29.16 | Ch0Hag | Second from the bottom, even. |
| 19:29.27 | Ch0Hag | Under the 'related links' heading. |
| 19:29.28 | antiphase | Maybe it's different if you sign in, which is something of a prerequisite to selling stuff ;) |
| 19:29.38 | Ch0Hag | Because I suppose selling things is at least vaguely related to my ebay account. |
| 19:30.19 | Ch0Hag | If this list goes from most to least important, selling things is only more important than safety. |
| 19:31.54 | antiphase | Like I said, If you surf to http://www.ebay.co.uk/ there's a load of things right at the top, like "Buy", "Sell", "My eBay", blah blah blah ;) |
| 19:32.18 | antiphase | Are you one of those "better idiots" I keep hearing about? |
| 19:32.49 | Ch0Hag | Proably. |
| 19:33.00 | Ch0Hag | I find 'easy' stuff incredibly painful to use. |
| 19:33.11 | antiphase | Now Facebook, on the other hand, is an abortion of UI design |
| 19:33.53 | Ch0Hag | I managed to screw up my first installation og Ubuntu but install Slink back when it was new was a cinch. |
| 19:34.41 | Ch0Hag | Except Risc OS. |
| 19:35.11 | Ch0Hag | That is easy to use *and* logical, which I find tend to be mutually exclusive. |
| 19:36.25 | antiphase | Shame it's a bit 1980s then |
| 19:36.32 | Ch0Hag | Da. |
| 19:38.50 | hali | and facebook is being overrun by weird api apps |
| 19:38.57 | hali | like that f*cking vampire thing |
| 19:45.57 | Ch0Hag | Vampires need fake friends too. |
| 19:48.32 | Ch0Hag | Gah! |
| 19:48.55 | Ch0Hag | They ask for a refresh rate in Hz and aren't intelligent enough to strip 'Hz' out of what I enter. |
| 19:49.54 | Ch0Hag | s/H(ert)?z// people! |
| 19:50.09 | Ch0Hag | Hell even just s/[^0-9\.]//; |
| 19:51.51 | antiphase | Stop being obtuse |
| 19:52.33 | Ch0Hag | Well if they'd at least told me before I submitted the form I wouldn't mind so much. |
| 19:56.43 | Ch0Hag | Does any browser have a 'never open a new window unless I explicitely tell you to' option? |
| 19:59.07 | antiphase | Firefox can force it into a new tab if you check the box |
| 19:59.14 | antiphase | And block popups as well |
| 20:00.23 | morsing | Beer |
| 20:00.28 | Ch0Hag | That's not quite the same. |
| 20:01.22 | antiphase | Seems to work like you want for me, I only ever end up with one browser window open |
| 20:01.44 | Ch0Hag | Anyway I have 'tab' selected for 'new pages should open in' or whatever it's called, and I still get the odd new window which I have to then close and middle-click. |
| 20:01.52 | Ch0Hag | Anyway I'd like it to open in the *same* tab. |
