I liked your comment here:

Q: "All rooms" link should open in the same tab

Simon BrownWhen in a chatroom, the all rooms button opens in a new tab. This is annoying, as I can always open a link in a new tab but opening one it the same one is harder. Would it be possible to change this?

I pretty much keep the all rooms tab open (yay tabs! >_>) just to answer the question hmm, wonder if there's a new room i should join
There's a lot that could follow that train of though. Does viewing edit history really need a new tab or would a popup container suffice?

does it work if you type the time manually, instead of using the time picker dropdown?

Oops! Something Bad Happened!
I get a lolcat when trying to schedule at 7/10/10 19:01
prolly because I should've used 2010/10/07
 
balpha
balpha
yep

with the correct date format, it still is scheduled at 12:00 AM instead of 19:01
 
balpha

yep, same here
going to investigate

You're scheduling an evaluation? (;

@rchern No, but I want to put that in the chat.MSO page so that the bar is actually useful for something that isn't the completely arbitrary "happy hour" event du jour

@Cawas If they're chat bugs you can. If not you probably want to post on MSO (and you can do that anyway, if you want, there's a chat tag)

so, there was I, spamming my useless messages and I got this "unknown error" with the usual "retry" message that I use to get on some connection failure (which I think yelds a different error message)...
and as soon as I clicked "retry" the whole message dissapared even from the up arrow.
no idea how to replicate it! :(
@MichaelMrozek ok, I'll do both then :)
