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

Huh -- I just created a new bitches, then went back to edit the description/slug, and now there seems to be persistent numbering weirdness such that the last post is always #N of N-1. Not sure if it's doing any harm, but it's decidedly odd.

edit: better now. Never mind.

Sorry to only pop my head in here in order to complain, but it's a Secret-Santa business, so it's kinda board matters, too, right?

I asked people to mail me their details to my profile address. I never changed that address, ever since the day I first registered to b.org, in my profile page. However, it was brought to my attention that there is no address in my profile address.

So I went to my profile page to check, and indeed, all that was written in the place for the address was just "Nilly" (which, um, is obviously not a mail address).

Fine, I think I just made a mistake and try to put in the box the actual mail address, which was faithfully there for several years. I click the little "OK" at the bottom, the message tells me that my profile is updated - but the mail address field is still empty.

Ironically, when I tried to fill the Bugtracker (from the link above), it did the very same thing, so the problem prevented me from reporting on it very self. At least my bug has a sense of humor.

Thanks, y'all, for making it such a natural and comfortable process, to come and whine (with practical results!) in here.

Weirdly, I can see your email, Nilly. I am using firefox on xp, if that is any help.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can also see Nilly's profile e-mail. IE7 on Vista.

Sophia, I am also using firefox on xp, and I can't see it.

Mostly lurking...

Huh. Weird. I can see it, Nilly. I'm on firefox on xp.

I tried to convince my profile a few more times that I have an address that isn't "Nilly", just because I'm a stubborn little baby who thinks that if something is supposed to work it means that it actually works, and don't confuse me with the fats, please.

Now I can see it. I think the combined powers of Sophia, Dana and vw did the trick, because on my own I got nothing (and at least one other person mentioned the lack of address in my profile, and I never took it off).

[Edit: so I think there's no problem now - unless somebody else can't see it either, and if that's the case, I edited my "Press" post and added my address there anyway - but something was not behaving earlier.]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm having that problem, too, trying to see bonny fides' e-mail in her profile. (I can see my own e-mail adddress in my profile just fine.)

When I click on bonny's user name in a post, it takes me to her profile page, where, instead of an e-mail address, it just has her user name (bonny fides) as a hotlink.

When I click on her hotlinked name, it popped open my mail program, but didn't put an e-mail address in the "to" field.

I used both Safari and Firefox in Mac 10.4.x.

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

Next time that happens, or if it still does, send me the html. Also check and see if you can see other people's profiles.

Could it be some weird-ass firefox plug-in?
