Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not to me. But I'm less focused on that phrase.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I liked it with just "Film and TV." "Discussion Areas Subfolders" looks wrong.

I like the clarity that what's in the subfolders is still a discussion area, and not something else. I realize that calling it a "sub" folder implies that what I'm looking at is the main folder, and clearly that contains discussion areas, but I'll stop typing now.

I'm indifferent to nomenclature. But I like the closed threads nesting within the topical folder.

Thanks ita!

What is even happening?

I'm not seeing

Discussion Areas Subfolders

On the main page (b.org) I'm seeing the "Subfolders" Red bar, with "Film and TV Discussion" (which I think looks much better than just "Film/TV"), and "Closed Threads" under it.

Then I'm seeing another red bar, with "Discussion Threads" in it.

When I click on the "Film and TV Discussion" link, it takes me to www.buffistas.org/index.php?folder_id=5.

There I see a red bar with "Film and TV Discussion Subfolders". Under it, I see links for "Closed Film and TV Threads".

Then there's another red bar, with "Film and TV Discussion". Under it are all the active Film and TV threads.

I like it better.

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

It was extant when you last posted, Cindy, but I didn't want to leave it up just to make a point, so I switched the folder name back to something that left the pages making sense.

To me, the word "Discussion" seems redundant. I mean, discussion is all we do here. What else could it possibly be?

But as I'm a Message Center gal, I should probably not care so much.

A summary of posts made by Tim or Joss. A breakdown of promos. A request for tapes. A personal announcement ...

I'd close the pedant tag, but who'd I be fooling?

Well, then, I like both. I think I prefer how it is, now (that is, with what I copied into the post above).

I don't think it would bug if you put "Areas" back, although I'd use "Area" or "Threads" rather than "Areas". I'm not sure why, though. At any rate, I like having the word "discussion" added.

Fine, fine.

(But all of those are already sectioned off into the yellow sidebar. Center things are all discussions!)
