It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

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

Okay, that's not it, then.

New data point: It seems to happen more when I switch windows in which I'm logged in or the WiFi I'm on.

My brother was asking me today about PHP and VB. Do we use either of those?

The board runs on php. (Note the ".php" in the page URLs.)

Oh - that seems pretty obvious now that you mention it. Well, now at least I have a bit more cred with my IT bro.

So if you had new messages in a thread in the tv folder, would you be able to see it from the message center? Or would you have to open the tv folder first to see that there are new messages there?

I've been thinking about the script kiddies, since they registered another batch of names. Can we set a condition to the registration algorithm that automatically rejects applications for registration that use a buffistas.org e-mail address? No legitimate new registrant would have one, and it's not like those of us that do have them lack for other addresses should we need to register a new name.

Yup. The message center and read new would work as they do now. If you want to experiment, try subscribing to one of the threads in the closed threads folder at the bottom of the home page. It would work the same way.

Thanks DX, your suggestion has really clarified it for me.
