A comment on the question "Will new rules apply for markets suspending daily?" in Hubdub:

There is an approval period implicitly available right now. Within the first 12h of the questions lifetime, cash-in is not allowed. And in former times, a warning was displayed which told the users that the question was in an "approval period" and a void could easily happen. – kruijs, on August 05, 2008 13:27

the portion of the wagers is actually an interesting concept - but how do you start, when your the first to bet? you'll at 100% then, aren't you? – kruijs, on August 05, 2008 13:23

"if it's too much hassle to do yourself, your question isn't a good Hubdub question, and shouldn't be submitted."
That's a good point – kruijs, on August 05, 2008 13:09

I doubt you made this post without prejudice.
what destry and I want to achieve is in your own interest of questions running smoothly.
please don't take that personal. (please also see http://www.hubdub.com/m12660/) – kruijs, on August 04, 2008 12:51

kruijs replied on July 14, 2008 21:29 to the problem "these suspensions are costing me money!" in Hubdub:

Whenever you are uncertain why a question is suspended, you may "flag" the question. By flagging the question, you send a message directly to the category editor of hubdub responsible for the question and attract his attention to that specific question. He might unsuspend the question or check if a settlement is possible. If you post a question to the cat ed, s/he might answer it directly by sending you an e-mail response.

If you know the outcome of the question yourself, you might as well use the "request settlement" feature, telling the category editor to settle the market. This works best when submitting links to news sources which report the outcome of the market with your request.

These are legal features of Hubdub to support the cat editors and all users are encouraged to use them whenever appropriate to make suspension as short as possible.

Can we change the priority of the linked news-articles again?

kruijs replied on July 10, 2008 19:38 to the discussion "Question page rearranged to promote commenting" in Hubdub:

I know from own experiences that designing a intuitive UI is very hard. I like how you rearranged the question page.

What I don't like though, is the restriction to the space available for the background-text. Yes, I've seen the "read all" button.

But I put in much effort in writing text to explain my questions (and others do too) and I'm worried that no one will read that anymore and so some people do not really know on what they prediction (the details, the "small" print"), or the circumstances of the settlement.

Example:

There should at least be room for a few lines. Not just one or two.

What to use if you feel the GetSat forum and the Contact Us form gets ignored - which was obviously the case here :( – kruijs, on July 10, 2008 10:36

one major thing:
-I really have problems to access the "Suspend Date" calendar. The button just wont show up, so I have to focus the dropdown for Hour and then do a CRL+TAB to focus the previous input-element (which is the button to let the calendar pop up) which is not visible.
