And checking to see if the board is on the "do not allow cookies from this site" list didn't help? I was matching you all symptom for symptom until then.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Our wings are not tired.
Apparently the board loves me because all I had to do was reset the remember me once and it works at home and in the office. Firefox 2.x

Not sure if this is a board problem or a problem on my end, but I'm having issues with searching closed threads. The board hangs when I try to search or threadsuck.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What search and what threadsuck have you been trying? The couple tests I run worked, so let me play in your playground.

Question re: search:
Is there a way to search by the name of the poster? I was looking for something that I seem to remember was pithy and apt in a past voting discussion, but when I searched for my name in Lightbulbs I only found where people used my name. How do we search for our own posts?
(Threadsuck tends to give my computer a heart attack with larger threads)

No, the current search only searches the content of the posts, not the poster names or taglines.

By design.

When you say "by design," Liese, what exactly do you mean? I initially coded it that way because it was one step instead of two, not because of any higher reason. I don't know how much weight that phrase carries here.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
what exactly do you mean?
There was a desire among some members to specifically not allow searches by poster name.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It was felt (by me, yes, at the time) that not allowing search by poster name gave one (thin, yes, and altogether surpassable) layer of privacy against the putative mysterious internet stalker. Not anything that anyone with threadsuck and a few seconds couldn't overcome, but still, there it was.
I dunno that I still feel that way these days, but perhaps I have become complacent and lazy and marginally less paranoid. Okay, probably still paranoid, but nonetheless.
The internet is public, I know.
