Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Under Tools there's an option to "Clear Private Data" with a ticky box for cookies.

Art Crawl!!!

The b.org is still randomly logging me out.

It doesn't bother me when I have to log in when I first open the page but the randomly logging me out throughout the day doesn't seem right.

What was the fix for this again?
