I see what you mean.

Put like that, it looks like a matter of taste whether you want to call that position anti-realism or merely something like deflationary realism. What...

Welcome. You're just in time to join our Sein und Zeit reading group.

andrewk and Nagase. What's taking them so long?

It's the end of an era. Want a new job?

Cheers darth, welcome to the party.

Added to the OP for the next round of requests.

Thanks shmik, it's in the works and we'll let everyone know when things are set up.

Welcome Harry :)

I missed that one Harry! Oh well, let's hope we get some similarly good responses here.

Welcome Ying.

This is on PF yes? No you can actually turn on a setting to make you appear as invisible (huh?) so that your name doesn't appear at the bottom of the ...

This site actually comes with a blog, which I turned off because the header link got in the way of the subscribe link. One use for that is to post OP'...

Top and bottom of the page. It'll make more sense once there's a whole load of text in between them.

Thanks for your support :) For some reason I'm having to manually set subscribers to subscriber status, and when I do that it calculates the subscript...

They anticipate the objection that their thesis is merely arbitrarily terminological: What I find exciting about this area of philosophy is that here,...

Thanks m, and welcome.

The drafts feature is pretty awesome, no? Another one I like: if you're in a discussion with multiple pages, double click on the right of the screen t...

That's nothing, I've had to use a Kindle to access the site when away from my laptop at the moment cos I broke my smartphone. Not fun.

Not really a fan of the initials thing Tiff. And we should be clear: some people are talking about a logo, but I thought this thread was just about th...

Has anyone invited Brainglitche, formerly Brainpharte?

I've asked the developers for 'my threads' already (see the list in the OP). In the meantime just bookmark the discussions you take part in. The Loung...

Great to see you here 'stino. You've written some great posts already.

A simple function in principle, but whether the developers are willing, and when they'd get around to it, I don't know. I can ask.

Google's started indexing the discussions: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Athephilosophyforum.com Promising. Maybe Paul has a point about not...

Although I admit it's been quite useful to use PF's IP address search to identify mystery members.

8-) It's time for me to do the same.

You seem to be lumping together abstract paintings with Duchamp's urinal, all under the category of "modern art". In doing so, there's a lot you will ...

I asked support about this and they asked if you had an accurate system time on your computer and what timezone you are in or your computer is set to.

I sent an email with all the feature requests. They said: "Thank you for your feedback. We always consider new options for our roadmap." And when I pr...

Great stuff Street. That's a very nice account of the illusion from Morris. And on the whole I'll struggle to find anything to disagree with in what y...

It's Hypatia. F5 to see it if you're still seeing Kant.

I say we're all spending too much time thinking about bloody icons.

If you refresh your browser you should see that Kant has been unceremoniously replaced.

What about this one of Hypatia? /uploads/files/69/selywjnw09ihx7ku.png Here it is at favicon size: /uploads/files/eb/6bamop497hb7gyja.png I could mayb...

Good to see you here fdrake!

:D

Quite like the idea of Hypatia. Anyone object to using her as our favicon?

I see he's still using the old, better one on this site, so it's not the end of the world quite yet.

The Google bot finally turned up and indexed a few pages on the site. I hope it won't be long before it comes back and crawls through the categories a...

That URL goes to a web page, not an image. Is the image you want on that page? Which one? http://illuminatisymbols.info/wp-content/themes/grido/themif...

One possible problem with this new platform as opposed to PF is that all posts work kind of like Facebook comments or even internal replies, in that t...

Great to see you found your way over here!

He was a grumpy old bastard as I recall. Woe betide the person who disagreed with anything he said.

Of all the responses so far yours comes closest to my own feelings about this. Whether this is seen as old-fashioned, grandiose, naive, Eurocentric, H...

I'd argue that such icons are even more revealing of philosophical prejudices than pictures of Socrates or Kant, because they assume a mental internal...

Though of course you don't actually have to use the @ button; you can just type what it ends up entering in the text box, e.g., @ followed immediately...

It's the number of likes you have received. Yes, I know, it's a bit distasteful, but we may get used to it. It's designed to encourage helpful and res...

By the way, I've been trying to set up a special PayPal account for this so I can avoid using my regular business account, and keep the money separate...

But maybe you should add a poll to this discussion, with a choice of philosophers or other things to use as the favicon.
