The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The code allows for it. Say, something for closed threads in each one ...

Huh. I think maybe I should stay out of this discussion since I dislike the whole idea so much.

I think it should say "BUNNIES!"

or you know, FOLDERS.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think it would look better, and more in style with the rest of the board, if there were short explainations as to what the two "folders" represented. Like we do everywhere else.

Or, at the very least make the name "Film and TV Threads" rather than the minimalist "Film and TV" name.

Film and TV Threads
The threads where we talk about all the shows and people and movies we love.

Closed Threads
The threads that are full. Conversations from days gone by.

For instance?

I think, Daniel, that as ita explained here: ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board ++" Aug 19, 2005 3:20:06 pm PDT that for it to get a slug/description means it probably won't happen because it requires other coding.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

This wouldn't hurt.

or you know, FOLDERS

yep

Boy, when ita suggested that there be a TV folder, I knew it would open a can of worms, I just had not the slightest clue it would be this particular can. In hindsight, I feel like I should have seen this coming a mile away.

I like the new folders, and think the organisational stuff works fine, ita. I use message center anyway, so nothing really changes in either how I use the board, or how it looks to me.

How is this a can of worms?

I don't like the idea, but it's clear that I am in the minority. That's the way it goes sometimes. I'll cry and cry and cry use my message center and it won't be an issue, even for me, and I was probably the loudest protester.

The other part, about what to call the folders/subfolders/bojanglers, should be easy to work out.

Go Bojanglers, choose bojanglers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't use message center, so I'm a way big cranky pants about it. But I figure I lose. Too tired to fight it what amounts to one more click.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I don't use message center either, and it looks weird, but I figure I'll get used to it. (Though I liked the subfolders on the bottom better.)

Okay, so maybe a few worms.

Though I liked the subfolders on the bottom better.

Especially the closed threads bojangler. I'd rather that not be above actve threads.
