Mar 28, 2012 at 6:55 comment added Benjol Mostly the latter two reasons, though the first use case would be covered too. If you have broadly the same comments across multiple sites (and machines), currently you have to copy/paste manually every time you modify something. I did experiment with using global storage for this, but the code is very unwieldy (and it needs two scripts)
Mar 28, 2012 at 6:34 comment added Cody Gray You mean so that the comments could be shared with other users on that site; for example, so that moderators could easily synchronize with one another? Or do you mean for each person's private use? The former would be really cool, but I don't think I'd get much use out of the latter. Not sure what it would hurt, though. People might like to share their customized comments between multiple machines, like home and work.
Mar 28, 2012 at 6:18 comment added Benjol @CodyGray, ok, thanks for the feedback. Pending implementation, you could comment out line 234... BTW, while I have your ear, what would you think of the idea of providing a per-site option to dynamically load comments from an external source (e.g. Dropbox)?
Mar 28, 2012 at 5:16 comment added Cody Gray Not necessarily. I just thought that might be easier to implement; you know, the "lazy developer's response", as you put it. I'd be perfectly content with it being a global setting. Maybe better yet, this would all be configurable per site. So I could disable the welcome text on Meta.SO, but leave it enabled on the SE 2.0 sites. In the same way, the name used for each site would be customizable to make Jon Ericson happy.
Mar 28, 2012 at 4:58 comment added Benjol @CodyGray, it's status-planned (hidden in the comments here), no promises about when, though (to be honest, the main 'problem' is deciding how to present the option). Do you think that making it optional/configurable per comment makes sense?
Mar 28, 2012 at 3:26 comment added Cody Gray I second @casperOne's request. I'd really like that "Welcome" noise to be optional. Can this be made an option? Either global, or using [magic] tags for each comment as you do elsewhere?
Jan 3, 2012 at 6:43 comment added Benjol @casperOne, no, not at the moment, sorry. You could hack it out of the script manually. (It only shows for 'new' users)
Dec 29, 2011 at 23:12 comment added casperOne How can I make it so that it doesn't say "Welcome to Stack Overflow!". I really don't want this.
