Yes, please.

It's not very detailed. The timestamp is just out by 24 hours. Here's a tiny video: http://curiouskiwi.com/Brenda/Plurk.mov I replied to a plurk on 10:17am on 13 Oct (the current time here in NZ) but the hover shows it as 10:17am on 14 Oct. Out by 24 hours. If I look at, say, responded plurks from yesterday afternoon (example, someone responded at 3:55pm yesterday), the plurk timestamp says 3:55pm today... of course, that time hasn't happened yet! – curiouskiwi, on October 12, 2008 21:30

I can't reproduce this :-( Could you do a detailed description of what steps to take in order to reproduce this? – Amir Salihefendic, on October 12, 2008 21:08

Thank you, thank you, it was a privacy setting that was causing it. I thought I was going mad. lol.

Hi Shazzy,

You can check whether you are using the correct email address by going to flickr.com and checking your account settings. Click on 'You', then 'Your Account', then 'Email' and the email address to use is next to 'Your contact email'.

Also check that your pictures have been set to 'public' otherwise they don't work.

I still cannot get it to work - I click on photo gallery - then go to flickr lightbox - properties - enter email address of yahoo account - under sereach I add the tag name in flick - I fill out the rest thumbnail etc and then apply but it is just random pics and not mine.

I should note that one of Plurk's representatives said that they are considering a grace period. I'm thankful that they have offered an alternative and am looking forward to seeing it. – tamar, on September 29, 2008 17:11

I agree with Tamar. I recently got a new job and can only come onto Plurk about once per day, which does not leave me with a large amount of time to post or respond, but I do what I can. Everyday I lose karma. So Plurk is punishing me for having a job that requires my full attention? Not fair, not cool. – ShirleyTipsy, on September 29, 2008 15:46

Oh, this: http://www.thegreatschlep.com/site/in.... Nope. I didn't even know about it. My grandparents are actually in NY. ;) (And now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming. I hope the Plurk team is still listening.) – tamar, on September 28, 2008 05:38

I like tamar's idea for extending the karma drop to 7 days or at the least 5 (a single work week). You can't really expect people to be on Plurk every day. Life happens, religion happens, etc. I think responsible plurkers will return within 5-7 days and if not THEN penalize them by dropping their karma. Hell if you want increase the amount lost if you do decide to extend it. I would support that decision as a compromise. – mwilton13, on September 28, 2008 05:04

Where? What? I don't think so. – tamar, on September 28, 2008 03:48

Oi! Are you on the great schlep? – The Dude Dean, on September 28, 2008 03:47

You mean tomorrow. ;) – tamar, on September 28, 2008 03:44

Don't worry I will fix that when you are down in Hollywood next week.

For the first time, I agree with you. – tamar, on September 28, 2008 03:17

Maybe they should offer a Kosher Karma option. – The Dude Dean, on September 28, 2008 01:15

The company's responses to this request are fucking dumb. The company claims that they "love it" but meanwhile people like me who are religious and cannot use computers due to religious observance are penalized due to adhering to their religion. I emailed help@plurk.com but hear that getsatisfaction.com will yield results.

12 hours is a problem. I'm a Sabbath observer which means that I can't actually use a computer between sundown Friday night and 1 hour after sundown Saturday night (approximately 25 hours). Every single week, this has been the case. Every single week, I get penalized. I even left my feedback in Amir's Plurk announcing the 12 hours and was ignored.

In 2 days beginning Monday night, the Jewish New Year kicks off. It ends Wednesday night. Will I be checking email? No. Will I be answering the phone? No. Will I be touching a computer? No. Will I be using Plurk? Hell no. The reason is religious and religious only. And yet, those of us who observe the holidays to this extent will suffer this week and next week during Yom Kippur and then the following 2 weeks due to Succoth and Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah (yes, I think the Plurk staff will need to Google these terms).

Karma sucks. If you want to keep karma, at least make it possible to
* disable our accounts TEMPORARILY so we don't get penalized
* extend the karma period to 7 days or something. Jewish holidays are only 2 days (3 days at most when they occur over a weekend).

Thank you.

Yes, that is exactly what happens to me. The times are fine in the "All plurks" tab but if I load up, say "my plurks", the times are all as I describe in the initial report. – curiouskiwi, on September 24, 2008 01:50

Timezone in my Plurk account is set properly, and my Macs do get the proper time via NTP.

This problem happens when I switch to other Plurk tabs from the main tab.
