Buffistas

Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

What is even happening?

Thank you, Nilly. I even did a google search for Buffista cheesebutt, but it was fruitless (or cheeseless).

Insent to you and Jon B. at your profile addresses.

I expect to be without Internet access during voting, so I'd like to submit an absentee ballot for the VM thread, and my preference is indicated in the email. As I note in the email, if people feel this goes against our principles for voting, then please disregard it. My one vote on this issue is not worth a prolonged discussion.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So the cheesebutt page is not actually linked from the FAQ, right? I looked again and didn't find it. (I now have it bookmarked, but that's not the point).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Looks like we're going to need a name for Natter 38 pretty soon.

Natter .38 Special?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Given that there's an execution going on, I'm game for the .38 special.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cheesebutt is being revised, as are the FAQ, etc, IIRC.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Edit needed in the vote announcement in both Press and Light Bulbs. It currently reads

Voting closes Thursday, April 8, at 6 AM (PST).

Fixed. And it wasn't just "April" that was wrong.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Whoops! I noticed the error right away on the ballot itself, and fixed it, but missed the error in the announcements. Thanks DX!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The How-To page contains this, under the Navigation section:

To check subscriptions in all your threads, you can use the "Message Center" option to check for new messages in your subscribed threads, or you can use the "Read New" link to check for new posts in all your threads.

So we kind of explain it, but it could definitely be clearer. "Message center" and "subscribe" seem to be defined only in terms of each other, which probably isn't the most helpful way to do it.

If that gets clarified, it should definitely mention the awesome Subscribe/Unsubscribe link right in the header of each topic.

So love that link.
