This page is for leaving feedback, bug reports etc. on the SL Office Hours twitBot, which tweets the Office Hours of Lindens, giving you a 15 minute reminder!
How to add suggestions
If you want to leave a comment / start a discussion about the twitBot, please operate as follows:
- Press the edit tab on top of the page. (You may need to log in to edit.)
- Scroll down and start a new topic using: == Name of the topic ==
- Write your questions/suggestions and sign it with four tildes: ~~~~ (or the signature button
). These will automatically be converted into your username and a timestamp. - Preview the page and save it if you're comfortable with it.
- If you want to answer to a persons posting you can scroll behind the posting, hit enter to start a new line and begin it with a colon (:). It will be displayed as an intended line then.
- If you want to answer to an answer, please write multiple colons in the beginning of the line.
I'm glad to see this. Three things:
- Please don't use "SLT". It's officially deprecated. Use "Pacific Time" or "PST/PDT" as-appropriate. And place a space like this: "PDT @ "
- Use a different icon, the current one infringes on LL trademarks.
- If you could use an URL-shortening service with metrics like tr.im, that'd be even better.
I will wait for this to mature before highlighting it further, but it's a good start. -

- This is a simple fix- the PDT/PST string replacement is done on the wiki side of things :-)
- I suck at graphics design, I'll poke around for help on this.
- I had thought about doing that- There's a bunch of code in the twitBot for abbreviating things so that the tweets will fit into the 140 character limit. I suppose it depends on how important it is for the url *not* to be hidden from view.
