Perhaps you don't have them in Aus or they work differntly. Today the lift was on teh 4th floor. I was on the ground floor. we have a basement and floors 1, 2, 3, 4, SO I called the lift using the down button, according tlo you this means I want to go to the basement, I didn't I wanted the 2nd floor. The lift came to the ground floor I got in and the door closed.

Now according to ****wits, when pressing the down button outside the lift the lift should go down well it didn't. That's really fascinating. Such a simple conrtro system and you've totally failed to understand it. If you want to go up, you press the up button. You get a lift just as quickly, but one on the way to the basement because of the another user's request will not waste their time and yours by stopping on the way down. It will still stop on the way up, if another lift has not yet reached you. But everyone will be saved the time of the futile stop on the way down. In your case, the lift at the top which is empty and has no demand for the basement will still come just as quickly if you press the up button, but will know it has to go up. So you lose nothing by pressing the right button, but the overall system is improved. Or possibly you're joking? But I've know this lift for 30 years it's never worked proplely I was told that. It also until 2 months ago never stopped on any floor evenly there was a gap of about 4 inches if yuo were going up, but only 1/2 inch when going down. It's been like that for years. If yuo wanted to use a trolly you had to go up first in order to go down if you wanted an almost level surface. Once while carrying 4 computers on a trolly, the wheel broke off and fell down the lift shaft. When students are using it you won't know how many times or which buttons have been pressed and there's no way to work it out anyway as the internal lift buttons override the direction and floor number. Ther theory might be great but what actually happens is another thing. The lift should also default to staying on the ground floor but it doesn't do that either, it just stops on the last floor that it was used on. But luckily I've only been stuck in it once. -- Roger Hayter |

And waste the time of others in the lift. Good call, that. yes it was becausxe originally the lift was for staff only studetns weren't supose to use it. Years ago it was key operated. But in the early 80s the HoD decided that all lifts should be open for student use. Previously very few studetns used that stairwell, it was mostly for emergency only exit as it really didnlt go anywhere else of use to the students. But during our refurb it was teh ONLY exit/entrance they could use as the other entrance was blocked off to install a bnew stairwell, so it was busy with students. |

Its even better with more people using the lifts at the time you press the button. If say the lift is at floor 4 and you are at floor 2 and you tell the lift you want to go up, the lift wont stop at your floor if its heading down to a floor below you, it will still go to the floor below you and then come up to your floor later which means you will get to the floor you want to go to quicker. Whether it's going up or down it's best to get in with the trolly forcing the students out and making them walk a flight of stairs, otherwise you will be there for far longer, usually I only use the lift when I know studetns are in lecture rooms and labs. They are usually out and roaming the college like zombies in shaun of the dead on thre hour and sometimes on the half hour. All irrelevant to whether the lift needs to know in which direction you want to go once the lift has let you in. It's simialr to the pedestrian crossing buttons. Nothing like it, those dont indicate which direction you are going, just that you want to cross there. and how does indicating you want to cross change anything ? It tells the light system that you want to cross the ****ing road and not just continue along the footpath, stupid. They are there for show or rather to tell the users to WAIT. They have no effect on the traffic lights. Thats wrong too. Look it up. Dont need to. I know that particularly with intersections where there isnt much traffic on one of the roads leaving the intersection, the lights wont even bother to change at all to allow traffic to move down that low traffic road unless it can see a car stopped in the lane which is allowed down that road if the lights are green for that. If a pedestrian shows up and wants the light to go green for them to move the same way a car would, they need to press the button because they car presence detector cant detect a pedestrian. I know what they are meant to be for, they are to call the lift. They are also to indicate to the lift whether you want to go up or down. and whichever you press the lift will reach you. But will reach you quicker at times if you press the right one. Pressing both buttons makes no difference, everyone know that. But pressing the correct button does make a difference. |

Yes but it not always the wrong way, and even if it is , it;s still far quicker than waiting for it to go the right way and not being able to get in in because all the studetns want to go the right way too. Better to get in it with the trolly when it;s going the wrong way an empty. Have you had any experience of getting 14 students out of the lift that say capacity 12, didn't think so. Only happened once but it did amuse me. But that's experience over 'managment cluelessness' |

But pressing the correct button does make a difference. No it doesn't othe rthan the lift passes you by and that isn't a quicker way to get the lift it's the slowest way. But the lift will still keep going in the direction you dont want to go, then head in the direction you do want to go once it has got to the floor it was going to before you press the button. So while you get into the lift earlier, it in fact takes longer to get to floor you want to go to. |

There is no button to press that indicates that the lift is at your floor and if it was at your floor, the door would be open anyway. or by pressing both buttons. It would have got to your floor earlier if you had pressed the button indicating which direction you wanted the lift to go once it had arrived at your floor and let you in. So you press both buttons, well done. That way whatever direction the lift is going in it stops on your floor, then I turf the students out. But it still goes to where it was going after you turf the students out so you have achieve nothing by turfing them out at your floor. Its better to let them get out at the floor they wanted to go to and then have the lift go to your floor and for you to turf the new lot out. Then why do they have 2 buttons ? Because some people want to go up and some to go down and unless the lift is told which way they want to go, it doesnt know whether to stop at that floor or not or whether to stop there later after it changes direction. problem is this IS NOT the case with students using them. Its even better with more people using the lifts at the time you press the button. No it isn't. Fraid so, because thats when the lift need to decide if its better to stop at your floor when it passes your floor or not. Yes and I want it to stop at my floor that's why I pressed the buttons Duh!

And it will still keep going to the lower floor after you do that and will open the door there even tho those who wanted to go to the floor have been kicked out of the lift by you so you could get the trolley in. Exactly and then I can stop further students getting and just going up/down ONE floor. But you wasted your time kicking the students out of the lift when it stopped at your floor. If you had used the correct button, they would have been delivered to the floor they wanted to go to and you would only have to kick out the ones that entered at that floor, later. Then I can select which floor I want to go to, That will be ignored until it has gone to the floor it was going to before you stupidly got it to stop at your floor by pressing both buttons. and have to wait for the lift to return. It will do that anyway. Better and quicker to reserve yuor place in the lift while it's going down. You dont reserve anything. I achieve the aim I set out to achieve. Nope. It's like getting on the bus before yuor normal stop, I had to do that today. Nothing like, because you by yourself doesnt kick people off the bus to get the trolley on it. Those already on the bus will tell you to **** off and that you will have to wait for a later bus with space for you. So I can on before those people that is the point, as it is with the lift. Nope, you dont do that with the lift. Central line was out, so in order to beat the other few hundred or so gettign off and queuing at the nearest bus stop, I walked 'back' 2 stops and got a seat.

There is no button to press that indicates that the lift is at your floor and if it was at your floor, the door would be open anyway. When I came into today the lift was on the ground floor the door was closed..

It would have got to your floor earlier if you had pressed the button indicating which direction you wanted the lift to go once it had arrived at your floor and let you in..

But it still goes to where it was going after you turf the students out so you have achieve nothing by turfing them out at your floor. Yes I have I can now get the trolley into the lift. The trolly was designed to be the maxium size to fit in the lift, it;s not a sack barrow, it's about 2 meters long and 1 metre high and waisst height with two lower sheleves. Its better to let them get out at the floor they wanted to go to . But then more students will get in, lifts go up and down you know, and not all students travel in the same direction at the same time. and then have the lift go to your floor and for you to turf the new lot out. How do I do that the lift has students in it that have selected the floor THEY want to go to, so it will bypass me waiting for the lift. You really have no idea how lifts work do you. I thought they had them in australia maybe not in the putback in tin sheds perhaps that;s where yuo're going wrong, when was the last time you used a lift ? Fraid so, because thats when the lift need to decide if its better to stop at your floor when it passes your floor or not. Yes and I want it to stop at my floor that's why I pressed the buttons Duh! Its stupid to have it stop at your floor. How will I get in it if it doesn't stop at my floor ? and then keep going away from the floor you want to go to, stupid. No it's more stupid to let it go to another floor to get more students, that will select the floor they want to go to. This is really like rocket science to you isn't it. |

It didn't open until I pressed the call lift button, and it doesnlt matter which one I press UP or DOWN the lift doors still opened. But it does make a difference when the lift isnt stopped, stupid. And since this mindless silly **** is the best you can manage, here goes the chain on the rest of your even sillier ****. |

And in most lifts the buttons on the inside are on the right hand side because the majority of people are right handed. It's your head that's ****ed, and I doubt you can really blame a designer for that, it the user where the problem lies.

So what differnce does it make, let see if you can workm it out from a users POV.

It would have got to your floor earlier if you had pressed the button indicating which direction you wanted the lift to go once it had arrived at your floor and let you in. So you press both buttons, well done. That way whatever direction the lift is going in it stops on your floor, then I turf the students out. But it still goes to where it was going after you turf the students out so you have achieve nothing by turfing them out at your floor. Yes I have I can now get the trolley into the lift. The trolly was designed to be the maxium size to fit in the lift, it;s not a sack barrow, it's about 2 meters long and 1 metre high and waisst height with two lower sheleves. Its better to let them get out at the floor they wanted to go to . But then more students will get in, lifts go up and down you know, and not all students travel in the same direction at the same time. and then have the lift go to your floor and for you to turf the new lot out. How do I do that the lift has students in it that have selected the floor THEY want to go to, so it will bypass me waiting for the lift. You really have no idea how lifts work do you. I thought they had them in australia maybe not in the putback in tin sheds perhaps that;s where yuo're going wrong, when was the last time you used a lift ? Fraid so, because that?Ts when the lift need to decide if its better to stop at your floor when it passes your floor or not. Yes and I want it to stop at my floor that's why I pressed the buttons Duh! Its stupid to have it stop at your floor. How will I get in it if it doesn't stop at my floor ? and then keep going away from the floor you want to go to, stupid. No it's more stupid to let it go to another floor to get more students, that will select the floor they want to go to. This is really like rocket science to you isn't it. |

Speed blabbered, again: And how is this related to lighting? It isnt, but changing the subject ****s up the threading with some news readers, not mine. No thread could ever be as ****ed up as you are, you 85-year-old senile pest! -- Richard addressing Rot Speed: "**** you're thick/pathetic excuse for a troll." MID: |
