Anybody here use Slashdot?
I find their user interface incomprehensible *blushes*.

I'm trying to set it so that I can see all the posts but it keeps telling me that some are below my level.

:wtf:

1. From the home page.
Preferences (it's under your username) -> Comments

In Display Mode, select Flat.

In Threshold, select "-1: Uncut and Raw"

Click "Save" (bottom of page).

I'm there, although I don't post a lot lately. :hi:

3. Lotsa bugs
Sometimes the page will load all wrong, you hit reload and it comes up right. Or not.

5. Reading everything on Slashdot???
Are you insane??? -1 uncut and raw will bring you Dolphin sex, foot fetishes, some of the most amazingly racist and homophobic crap you will ever see, dirty old men lusting after young teenagers...

A lot of the 0 and -1 rated stuff is "poke out your own eyes with a stick" sort of stuff, and there are probably sexually explicit posts about doing exactly that too.

BTW, the slashdot interface does make a lot of sense once you figure out what slashdot is trying to do, and what you want slashdot to do.
