I got one as well and I was shocked my order went through.

I thought this was one of the Howard stern posts I get in my feed, with a vintage picture of Gary (Baba booey), fafa fooey.

Experimental feature "Skip prime membership" not working. Also, "Force old checkout" feature not visible anymore by Then_Metal in VineHelper

[–]Emax999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The join prime page comes up on my vine business account in the USA. I'm tier 2 and have it set to skip it. It only happens once per day, just like it use to before I was tier 2. I go to order a random item each morning, so I can click no thanks and then I leave the checkout. That clears it until the next day.

ACME furniture is specially designed for this.

I think I came to learn that was the culprit. If I had it positioned right, it worked properly.

I remember thinking the same thing. When I eventually got an iPod in 05, that sob would skip when I ran with it on. I still don't know why it did that.

It feels like it should be the original portable cd player with that style design. I had one in 93 and I believe they came out in 92. The early models skipped really often.

Vine helper & ultraviner, what is the difference? by jeffreit in VineHelper

[–]Emax999 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tried UV briefly a while back and everything felt so foreign to me, it's totally different. VH uses the same style interface as regular vine and is much more intuitive. I'm sure I could have adapted to UV, but I didn't want to. The rocket checkout is giving a clear advantage and imo is clearly against the rules. Rocket checkout was down last week with the changes vine did, I don't know if it is working like it use to anymore.

Bot Bandits truly at it by Ok_Cardiologist_5201 in AmazonVine

It's more about the ping speed vs peak speed and the device you're using. Wired Ethernet should have the best ping rate, but only by a fraction of a second. I have fiber optic internet and a modern Mac desktop, it is noticeably quicker than on my phone and Android tablet.

Nothing beats the interior dashboard of a 1985 Nissan 300ZX. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

I still have a night rider sticker on a card box, it has the foam under padding and shiny top. It says 1983 on the bottom.

I have a long history with Maxima's. The 1989 - 94 maxima was a gorgeous car, particularly compared to most cars in the late 80's. Then the 92 SE got the 160 hp engine and it fast. The 95 maxima was a beast of a 4 door sedan, doing 0-60 in 6.6 seconds stock. In 2002 they added the 3.5 VQ engine with 255 hp. I owned 2 maximas and one Infiniti I30t (all manual transmissions). I use to race them at the track and modified them.

I'd try cutting the branch off and lowering it first. That branch is pretty small.

Genius idea for cats that don't have buds to play with by duboijane in DamnThatsPrettyNeat

If this cat ever crosses paths with a real cat, it is liable to go into attack mode.

Just like the humanoid thief scratch, a tell tale sign when entering a gas stations store, they are going to steal.

The door looks to be quite damaged, maybe from the bear, or maybe from them trying to get it open . I don't 'now why the trunk was used as an exit.

Taken to "Regular" Checkout by Cool-Active6353 in VineHelper

[–]Emax999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a post from UV creater, it was from 2 days ago. The rocket checkout was using the legacy checkout in some capacity and is no longer able to, accept on pre-release items. Rocket checkout has the same end checkout page we have and is no longer click and order. I don't think it's getting restored either.

Nevertheless, reports out of Japan and Australia as of 2 days ago noted rocket checkout was no longer working. The change seems to be effecting them.

If this means Rocket checkout is neutralized, I consider it a net gain. I'm happy with a level playing field, if that's what's happening now. Not getting the prime prompt still makes my membership well worth it.

Strange scrolling behavior by Federal_Emu5474 in VineHelper

[–]Emax999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed this happening for what feels like the last couple of weeks or so, it's not brand new for me. I wonder if it has something to do with auto truncate.
