A: Why is my green tea brown?

I disagree with Chris Steinbach. Japanese green tea is green. Chinese green tea is brown. In Chinese character (Kanji in Japanese), Cha means tea, and Chairo means tea color=brown. We Japanese always wonder why Chinese call brown as tea color, because we Japanese only know "Tea=green"!!

Post Reopened by (User) (See revision history)

Seems he has another interpretation of the question, so reopened and answered.

Infinite Recursion

aren't all answers supposed to be added to the dupe target?

all answers at one place - concept

Because it's not a duplicate. The question being discussed asks how to set the default path in the file save dialog, the proposed dupe asks how to save a file with a macro and take certain parameters from cells in a worksheet.

12:22 PM

@ShadowWizard: Sure :) This question is not about saving a file but setting a default path. Read the first 3 lines in my answer. The link given above is about saving a file using saveas. — Siddharth Rout 32 secs ago

Yay new avatar, texture change.

well, if you trim off the noise from the question the actual question is: What I want is a script that sets the saveas location so if the user wants to save the file then it will open in the correct location, allowing manual control of saving.

Love what you've done with your hair @Unihedron

which pretty much means the .SaveAs dialog and the InitialPath

1:52 PM

vba4all -- are you sure that your edits are correct?

@kwah yes? did I do something wrong except wrapping the code as code block?

@vba4all You changed the tags from vba to vb.net -- To me it looks like they're asking about the contents of a vba function, with the title 'vb.net' being the mistake?

Vogel612's Shadow

@kwah mind putting a link in here??

@Vogel612'sShadow It's the one posted above stackoverflow.com/posts/26466978/revisions

@Vogel612'sShadow (my original post didn't act as a "reply" to have the highlighting.. sorry!)

Vogel612's Shadow

it looks like a common mistagging..

2:00 PM

@kwah that is not vba code...

Vogel612's Shadow

vb.net <> vba, and many newbies just tag with everything remotely vba..

in this case, the code is definitely not vba...

so the two incorrect tags (vba, excel-vba) were removed (by one of the top vba users on so) ;)

!!/rev?

@Undo e6dc846 (Undo1: you missed one)

@rene Mistake on my part there then! Been a while but it looked very similar to vba.. my bad! ;)

@kwah that's because vb.net is mostly based on vba...

@Unihedron stackoverflow.com/posts/26466978/revisions

the structures are very similar, but they are still different in a few things..

Yes?

Hopefully they're on their way to the tour and learning how the place works instead of trying to start over.

I think it's cached in chat, I changed on MSE, but it doesn't reflect here

How 'bout we all play musical avatars: everyone randomly changes their avatar until bart sees one he doesn't like, and gets ya with his smiting stick. Last one standing wins 500 rep.

-.- gimme a sec.

take this one instead

Infinite Recursion

When will my new avatar reflect in chat? Caching :(

@Vogel612'sShadow yeah @Unihedron won

^_^

You people should make the query match "tour" insensitively though. Sometimes I YELL at users to the tour.

2:41 PM

i don't think it's case sensitive

haha wait, were not talking VB6 now i better check

Vogel612's Shadow

actually we might as well check for the magic link...

Sure.

Vogel612's Shadow

but "like" should take care of that...

Infinite Recursion

Don't be surprised if any of you see a "Take the tour" from Uni under one of your old posts. He once left that comment for a high rep user on a two year old post. He tells everyone to take a tour!

Vogel612's Shadow

(it also makes the query terribly slow)...

2:43 PM

@Vogel612'sShadow save yourself some time

don't do an OR - just change it to %TOUR% and you get the same result

so it's case insensitive on the server site i guess

cv-pls stackoverflow.com/questions/26468322/…

regex php .htaccess java javascript mod-rewrite apache

^ Great avatar / user

nice new pic @uni

where?

ur avatar

2:55 PM

I should use an identicon until I bother drawing one.

Or you could just take a shot of yourself and add a load of filters...

I know!

Never mind.

can't downvote as I've ran out already but please flag or/and downvote this stackoverflow.com/a/21469211/2140173

completely unrelated to the question

thinks about changing avatar too

thinks about changing identities like @vba4all did

Infinite Recursion

2:57 PM

Or you could use a composite image with 4 pictures, one in each quadrant. Many users use such profile images.

nah.

Vogel612's Shadow

@Unihedron he didn't really do that...

@Unihedron going from mehow to vba4all? hmm..

with a permanent link* to vba4all in my profile?

I think this will do for a great avatar:
