I have a theory which is mine....regarding the hovering function

And the theory of mine is that they could fix it with one click, just ticking a box but they don't to make the board appear more lively than it is because everyone has to click on threads that don't really interest the person rather than hovering over it, dismissing the title as not interesting and thus not clicking on it.

the result is many more views than as if the hovering function worked.

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Yes I reckon you're right. It's much the same as eBay claiming 5 million members in Australia.

"Ein Schelm wer Boeses dabei denkt" is the thing i wanted to say but i couldn't find anything better than the honi thingy.

Ein Schelm wer Boeses dabei denkt.

There is no english word for Schelm. A Schelm is a mischievous, cunning but good hearted person whose actions do not harm other people. There is the word "rascal" but that's not it.

So the translation is:

A Schelm who would think/suspects bad/evil about that.

scallywag?

Re: I have a theory which is mine....regarding the hovering function

kennedia_nigricans — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 02:17:51 GMT

almost yes, but i have seen pirates being called that.

a Schelm is harmless, and it would be more than awkward to see a pirate film where one calls the other a Schelm.

scallywag has a tinge of doing illegal things.
