Can you change your user id on fluther?

I think you can start a new one using a different email address. I am pretty sure that is how some users have got their scores up, virtually overnight.

No, again…

You can send an email to feedback@fluther.com, asking nicely.

klaas4….no need to be rude

klass4 even took the time to search for that link, instead of just saying no. Damn, that is rude. klass4 could’ve been a little more tactful in their response, like sferik. I gave him a point, and deepseas72 should, too. Also, I hit you with a great question, because I can.

@klaas4, +1 Great Answer from me.

@deepseas72, with your score, I’d’ve thought you’d known better by now.

I’m sorry if came to you as rude, it wasn’t meant that way. I’m sorry, but there are now 3 questions for this.

B.T.W. I don’t think giving “Great Answer!“s is meant for this. :-)

I see my score as a sign how the community thinks about me, not how much experience I have. The human race will never know everything, you know…

@klaas4, wasn’t scoring you up to spite anyone.

Your answer was quick, concise, to-the-point. It provided reference and context. It also explained, by example, how future questions of a similar nature could be answered.

It really and truly was a Great Answer.

Just because it was easy for you, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth scoring up.

Does anybody really ever use the search function? I don’t. Granted, I have way to much to time on my hands and have probably read every question posted in the last eight months.

I think we need to ask if the question asking mechanism can be refined so that it alerts the person asking a question to one similar from the past. Maybe using tags.

Tag a question with SDK. Get a list of the last five questions with that tag. Confirm you still want to ask the question.

Great suggestion! I suggest you post it in the Man O’ War.

Don’t see this as rude, deepseas72 ;-)

Outstanding suggestion, johnpowell! And I’d like to publicly apologize to klaas. I, in fact, was the rude one. I really should have searched before asking. Thank you, klaas, for the link. It was truly helpful.

@deepseas72

I would take a look at the answer by sferik. Word on the street is that he has access to the database.

mwha-ha-ha-ha. MWHA-HA-HA-HA!

And the power has gone to his head.

Johnpowell it would be great if everyone used the search function; however, for iPhone user does not have a search function available (to the best of my knowledge). Everytime we web browse to fluther we are automatically directed to the iPhone optimized web page

Actually, I think they added the search feature for the iPhone yesterday.

Bulbatron thanks. Didn’t notice it until now
