'Safe'
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
There was a desire among some members to specifically not allow searches by poster name.
I did not remember that.
I will throw out my periodic reminder that you are indeed naked once you've posted here, whatever robot.txt files we set or search fields we allow--the post can be tied to your posting name until you delete it. I'd hate for anyone to forget that.
Connie, threadsucking the thread and using your browser's search function is one workaround.
That's what I eventually did, but it took a couple of times for my system to succesfully threadsuck all of Lightbulbs.
I remember the old BBS boards having some sort of back-end zip function to zip up posts for offline mail readers. Too bad there isn't a way to implement that sort of thing with large threadsucks. It's all text and it wouldn't take up much processing power nowadays.
Signed, still wistful for Silly Little Mail Reader.
We can add it to the list--though I'd recommend something a little more proactive than "too bad there isn't a way" when it comes to feature requests. There's probably a way. The question is about the degree of effort.
Right, I was addressing her problem with threadsucking. I should have been more specific.
There's still probably a way to threadsuck to a zipped file. I haven't investigated it so I don't know how hard it is, but why wouldn't there be?
php zip functions: [link] -- although it looks like there are different libraries for php4 and php5, so if you're thinking of an upgrade, you might want to hold off.
Could someone kindly and gently tell me how to delete the cookie in Firefox? I can't *find* the Preferences option. It is possible I have the stupid this morning. But I so would love to stop logging in over and over.
