@Quill the site is still up. And so is the api that shows the hats, since you can see it on the bash site. I think that with some grease monkey magic, we could re-enable the hats on the main sites.
@Tiny From new users, questions not about debugging are outright rare. I think you're being overly pedantic about this. If you look at the best questions of last year, they're almost all about debugging or "why?" questions with an MVCE. Sure, there are some general-referencey short questions, but good luck being successful with that as a new user. If you compare that list with new bad questions, you'll notice they tend to be very focused and specific. — bjb56836 secs ago
New mad idea. We could build a client side hat user script to add custom hats support all year long. Probably the only problem is that all the hats would be available from the start - it would be just for decoration purpose...
@Quill Suppose we just build an hat GUI with greasemonkey (or tamperscript). We can store the hat images as base64/svg inside the script. The only problem would be getting what hat another user is wearing..
@Quill It wouldn't be anything SE managed. All the picture and the scripts would be community made. No requests to the hat api, no tampering, nothing. Maybe we could reuse some hat images if they are fine with it, but that is all they would need to do.
@bjb568 even better. Some of the images were cool and should be saved. I don't need all of them though. The Sun Wukong can be forgotten :P
But, returning to the original idea. As I said the problem is that we need a way to know what hats other users are wearing, and I think it may be doable without bothering Stack too much (the only impact for them would be a request when an user switch hats, and that isn't going to happen so often).
Got this one too. The odd thing is, it doesn't take clicks from my mouse, but it fully recognizes my touchpad.
Anyway, opening a terminal and typing:
metacity --replace &
will make it work if you're using compiz. If you want compiz back, type:
compiz --replace &
and the mouse will work ag...
@nicael I hesitate, if this turns out to be someone who tries to take over an account we provide more evidence. I rather leave it at your comment but I felt it was wise to inform you, that's all
