  • dontcry WHY?? Jun 26, 2009

  • chained_bear But Pro, if there are indents, squares, or dots, don't they all serve the same purpose? *possibly still not awake* Jun 23, 2009

  • plethora I see indents too.

    Edit: In Explorer I see boxes. Jun 23, 2009

  • rolig Right, on the linked page I see big blue spots. And I think I'm awake. At least I should be. Jun 23, 2009

  • Prolagus C_b: My list of lists should show that spot for all my open lists. Jun 23, 2009

  • chained_bear In your first post, I see this:
    �? (Z NOTATION SPOT)
    In your second one, the link works.

    If that's not what you're asking, sorry--I'm not really awake yet. *yawns* Jun 23, 2009

  • rolig I can see the big black spot! Jun 23, 2009

  • mollusque I can see them. Jun 23, 2009

  • Prolagus Crap! How about the rest of you? Jun 23, 2009

  • bilby Nozink. What I think are your open lists appear to be indented one space. Jun 23, 2009

  • Prolagus What do you see instead? Jun 23, 2009

  • bilby I can't see it. Jun 23, 2009

  • Prolagus I finally chose to add �? (Z NOTATION SPOT) to the name of my open lists. Jun 23, 2009

  • Telofy @Prolagus-Paradox: Kudos, wonderful. :-) Dec 18, 2008

  • mercy Yo, bilby. :D Dec 18, 2008

  • bilby Mercy Me! Dec 12, 2008

  • Prolagus Another temporary idea could be adding Prolagus's open lists (in my case) and it would become a list in reverse -- cool! I'll do it soon. Dec 12, 2008

  • mercy Popularity would make it very hard to manage. I couldn't even remember which ones I'd set as open. Unfortunately, you can't tag a list without tagging every word in it as well. Hopefully the marker feature will be out soon.

    Not to mention, having it in my lists is somehow annoying. Dec 12, 2008

  • Prolagus That should convince John :) Dec 12, 2008

  • vanishedone I'm hoping John will add the promised automatic marker soon and this method will never become popular enough for me to have to worry about it. (Besides, the right-hand column would become enormous if we all used this...) Dec 12, 2008

  • Prolagus The new paradox is that this word is now fit for Meta, but Meta is not an open list so it shouldn't have it listed... Dec 12, 2008

  • mercy Just noticed the conversation about open lists on features. I'll add this word to all of my open lists in case anyone wants to add to them. (And thanks for all the help I've had so far!) Credit: Prolagus Dec 11, 2008
