Chile Forum

where do you see a "view results" button?

There are a few other bugs in the forum that have been discovered. We are getting ready for a regular upgrade shortly to chase some of the ghost in the machine out. Hang in there.

At the bottom center of the chart, immediately below the "Submit vote" button.

Yea, I had to create a normal user account to see the problem. It is always sunny on Mount Olympus for the forum admins because we have different permission levels.

How many others are not seeing the red graph bars on the poll to the right of the check box options?

How many others use to see the graph bar, and are no longer seeing it?

I could not see your problem at first because when you are not logged in, the graph/poll seems to display correctly. When I am logged in as admin, or when I high jack your permissions to test them (nifty little feature of the forum when it works) everything displays correctly. When I created a new account however as a normal user and looked at it, it is very broken.

I have looked at the permissions, and I believe this bug that I will go chase when I get a second. Any details about what you are seeing would help me track it down.

I see the red bars ok when I am logged in. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.14.

When I cast a vote, I saw the results; otherwise, nothing (I'll have to wait to ascertain whether the chart continues to show if I don't cast a vote during a particular session). I'm sorry that I know too little about computers or the 'Net to be able to add anything to that bald pair of statements.

HEADS UP!

A question to fellow AllChileans with an interest in the subject: is B. Bernanke "clueless", or is he a saboteur?

I thought SIR Alan Greenspan was the saboteur and Helicopter Bernanke the fall guy.

Remember Alan's Ayn Rand like treatise on gold? And how he has betrayed every macroeconomic principle he stood for? Is he pure evil or is he a Francisco D'Anconia (Atlas Shrugged) working from the inside to destroy a corrupt system?

Very good points, EE.UU. I suppose that there are some people I'd just rather forget . . . .

RWS,

Good afternoon. Just found some great up to date conspiracy theory regarding our bud Alan. Very creative interwinding of current conspiracy theories (for those who follow this stuff).

Me thinks Bix Weir is quite the disinfo artist though I'm sure there is some truth mixed in there somewhere.

I've never been much of a conspiracy theorist, generally shaving with Ockham's razor and finding human nature in its complexity and debility sufficient to explain most of what we encounter. But, despite some risible aspects (Mesdames Feinstein and Pelosi as partisans of a gold standard!), there are parts of those two articles to make one wonder, EE.UU.

The stubborn part of the whole question is how anyone, even a dyed-in-the-wool proponent of now-long-debunked Keynesian economics, could possibly have aided the creation of the morass in which we are sinking. ("Aided", I say, because American lotus-eaters were the chief makers of the mess: how could the dollar maintain value when we exported little of worth, bought too much from afar, and insisted upon governmental largesse at home and abroad?) So one does indeed wonder if Messrs. Greenspan and Bernanke (even the latter can't be fool enough not to have known the logical end of his weak-willed maundering) have worked toward seemingly sinister ends.

the US dollar has swung from about 550 to 435 CPL and back in the past year, right? and now it´s on the way down again?

can we play a real-life game of "what if"? suppose a guy in his late 40´s had $100K saved up and he was thinking hard about moving to chile permanently in the next year....should he:

a) keep his money in his US bank, or
b) move it all to chile ASAP, or
c) move half to chile when the rates are favorable (define favorable, please) and keep half in the US, or
d) other (explain)
