Hey, can someone tell me how to threadsuck a world crossing thread.

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

I'm not sure the threadsuck script works anymore. I don't have perl installed on this machine, so I'll have a look when I get to work.

And... It doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure, but I suspect it probably hasn't worked since WX went to paid memberships.

The script never worked 100%. It would occasionally drop posts for no reason that John H. or I could ever figure out, although we suspected it was the random way WX included ads in the threads.

You might want to hunt around on some of the WX community threads. There was someone working on a threadsucker back when WX was having its server issues not long after we left, but I never went back to see how things turned out.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I can't recall if there is a particular way I should mention this, so I'm just going to put it here and then do it again if needs done. I'd like to request a small feature with the bookmarks--obviously they're really handy, but I just went through my list and deleted the ones I no longer use. It was twenty or so of them, and it was a pain to wait for the page to refresh again and again just so I could delete one bookmark at a time. Could we have some kind of tickybox option, where you could select multiple bookmarks and then hit "delete"? I put it before the board dev gods. Thanks.

Wrod to what SA said!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Double wrod - that's a great idea.

::wipes brow:: Whew, glad other people wanted it. It's come in really handy for deleting hundreds of memories on livejournal, and it seems like it would be handy here.

Heads up: duplicate post numbering in Natter, combined with really slow board performance when the rest of the internet is behaving normally.
