A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm pretty busy with other projects at the moment, but I'll see what I can do. You can always email me with questions (I just answered (sort of) the one you sent.

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

Cool. Main other thing I'm thinking is missing are breadcrumbs for the folder structure. Where do you think they should go? I was thinking of making a list inline and putting it...maybe opposite the navbar, on the left side? Above or below them?

Also thinking that the navbar and the list of folders on the index/message center pages should be a collapsed list too, for semantic reasons, and for manipulation purposes.

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

I love that JenP's post makes perfect sense to me.

That was supposed to be in Press. Oops. But it's probably not even important enough.

Basically, if you look here: Kristen "The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death" Apr 4, 2009 5:20:16 pm PDT you'll see that the folder name is in the header, and if you go here: DavidS "Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape" Feb 16, 2009 11:52:43 am PST you'll see it shows both levels.

Oh, breadcrumbs... I get it. Now.

I enjoy the breadcrumbs. Saves a step, potentially, if you're navigating the folders. Nice.

Yeah, I didn't know what you meant by breadcrumbs either until I looked at your examples.

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

Oooh, breadcrumbs. Shiny.
