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.

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

It happens when everyone's jumping on posting in the same thread at really close times--like a thread ending or starting, or Hec's games.

Fuck, there are so many things half done. Tag closing in posts needs fixing, I have rewritten the code to use CSS positioning only, but the posting box is wack in IE, and then there was the project to switch the back end out to Postgres.

And that's not even counting the bugs reported above.

Thanks, ita. I'd hoped that's all it was, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't anything weird or dangerous.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Got this posting just now: There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

(Erm...am I supposed to be alerting you guys to this or not? I'm not sure.)

hip deep in pie

I just wanted to mention here that the board has been responding very slowly for me when I post or edit. Reading it has been fine, just posting. It's been happening at work and at home, so it's not just the computer or connection.

I'm using Firefox for Windows XP at home and work. At home I'm on dial-up and at work it's a T1 line.

I'd be happy to help figure out how to make the board more efficient.
