Hey @captainsnowball is this happening on your iPhone?
this is what I (Aiden)
see
Using my laptop. Do you not see numbers?
Comments:
Looks normal enough... what are you trying to show me?
by Aiden Baker
Aren’t there supposed to be a number list? It’s cutting the numbers off.
Nope, I used a bullet list there. It would probably be better to number it though, now that I think about it. then you can say "take a look at rule #(blah)"
by Aiden Baker
See it has # but it’s not showing numbers. Is this an issue?
I posted an image in your question @paperboypaddy You don't see the numbers?
by Aiden Baker
No not on my iPhone. Check this on your phone on safari.
@captainsnowball on you iFixit profile can you add a time zone to your 5-10 or 6-10? I’m not sure were you are so i can’t tell when your on. Also add am-pm or you may be on 24 hour. By the way I like your meta profile pic!
Comments:
I took that over the summer. I remember I was messing with photoshop at that time http://www.awosting.com/ Its a camp I go to. same to you! The reason I changed my profile pic to not me, is I wanted to do an experiment and see if people would take me more seriously if they did not know I was that young.
by Aiden Baker
Well, nice to know someone reads that stuff.
by Aiden Baker
Done. also, why don't you move the location point on your profile a little bit. It is scarily accurate. From the google maps, Seems like you have a white house across from a red house. I recommend you push your location pointer a tad bit over so that its not exact. @evan do we really need the longitude and latitude? maybe just the state or something? Because that's really creepy. @paperboypaddy I'm not trying to stalk you or something. trying to prove a point of how creepily exact that thing is. and one more thing about the profile. I really don't recommend giving out your mobile phone number. even though you can block people, still that's a bit overkill. I created a email account seperate from my normal account, so that I don't get spam or anything on my real account.
by Aiden Baker
Hey have you ever noticed that on mobile you can’t see the map location on other peoples profiles?
WOW!!!
I never noticed that I’ve done so many things on iFixit. Your welcome iFixit!
I’ve done a wonderful job. And I’m not even getting paid for this. Not a problem, it’s fun doing work for people. Especially when your doing it for free.
I’m Captain America Planet!
Comments:
How much more things is there to do in my power? I’m guessing not much. Hey if you ever want to have me edit anything I’ll be more than happy to help, only if you give my some good REP.
Its probably pretty easy but there is no real benefit of that for this kind of site.
by Aiden Baker
@captainsnowball I’d only use red or green. Christmas colors!
seems like you recently learned how to use the strikethrough. but again, the colors do not help ifixit.
by Aiden Baker
@captainsnowball Well ok. Hey I thought you said that you weren’t coming back too meta? Man your a teenager alright. Making decisions fast and then changing you mind. I always think that’s funny when people do that. I do it too so it’s all good.
Nice job Padraic. You'll start getting more rep after your answers to unaccepted questions start getting accepted after a month or two by @mayer or @oldturkey03. I don't get that but if your answers are good you will.
by George A.
@pccheese that never happened to me.
by Aiden Baker
@captainsnowball I didn't either. But perhaps Padraic will.
by George A.
@captainsnowball @pccheese @paperboypaddy gentlemen I do recommend you check your voting stats. Check the voted by you and the votes received. You will find out who votes on what. Remember that patrolling, editing etc. does not carry much weight and will not get any votes. It's a community service! It is the quality of your answers that get's the votes. software answers/questions in general do not get visited often since those are really not repair related. Focus on the mission and help others out. That will always get rewarded!
by oldturkey03
@paperboypaddy No I was not planning to come back. at the time I did not know if me being on meta benefited anyone. I decided to help @nick with his guide before leaving meta for good, but @evan 's greeting was really nice and I changed my mind. if evan was not there at that time to greet me I probably would've left meta, and eventually lose the "drive" to keep using ifixit. so...
Thanks @evan!

Fun weather we got here.
Comments:
Snow?!!! Not any snow over here :( sorry it 1:00 in the morning. It’s almost 12 here.
See my iFixit profile. Last thing on the about me. We have something in common. I just added it today.
@paperboypaddy Alot isn't a word. A lot is. Unless you where referring to an allotment, but that would be out of context.
by George A.
@pccheese were was that?
@paperboypaddy In your about. Under "What do I have experience with"
"I also understand ALOT about how computers work"
by George A.
Fixed it.
So @captainsnowball this is very funny! So this morning I looked at my weather app and it stayed it was going to snow Wednesday and Thursday. And today it was going to be cold, so I put two layers of clothes on and was expecting it to be 30° outside. Then I noticed after the fact that I got dressed that the weather said Woburn not woodburn!
The other day I looked to see the weather over at your city to see what it was like and I never change it back to Woodburn! You probably get why it’s funny because Woodburn and of Woburn are almost exactly alike!
PS. The dictation on iOS is great, this whole post was done by dictation.
Hey @oldturkey03 can you send me an email to my ifixit account? thanks.
It has been up and running.
Comments:
@oldturkey03 did you get my email?
by Aiden Baker
@oldturkey03 I sent a chat request using google hangouts. Thought it might be easier than email.
by Aiden Baker
@captainsnowball yes I got it. sorry been busy last couple of days. Trying to build a foundry to melt my own aluminium and glass. Planning to see if I can build chassis for orphaned LCD screens....I know pretty boring stuff but I just have to try.
by oldturkey03
ooh molten stuff!

@captainsnowball Louis Rossmann has had fans here at ifixit for a long time he and Jessa Bethany Jones @jessabethany have been flag wavers for some time on the right to repair.
by Jimfixer
I've watched Louis years before he gave iFixit another chance and posted here.

@jeffsu I saw you do most accepting edits on guides and stuff, just a heads up, I'm updating outdated company logos on device pages.
Comments:
I saw that! You have a sharp eye. There are several folks here who handle patrols besides me, but I went ahead and approved your edits this morning. Thanks for keeping those pages up-to-date!

Anyone else think apple makes it look way to easy to disassemble an iPhone?
