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

I mean, discussion is all we do here. What else could it possibly be?

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?

What is even happening?

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.

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.

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

Fine, fine.

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We're funny. Long live our pedantry.

If this is contradictory to an earlier opinion of mine, please feel free to choose which one to disregard.

Liese, may I please tag this?

Tag away!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Man, I'm offline for 12 hours and you guys go and redecorate. I'm hugging my message center to my heart and daring anybody to fool with it. Do with the home page as you see fit. I'll just log in with my eyes squinched and hit "message center" real quick.

No fooling with message center! Or how most recently active thread goes to the top! Or the neato sub/un buttons! Scary bojangler stuff. Going and hiding perfectly cromulent threads in "folders" off elsewhere and unseen. Scary...

(subsides, muttering)

Ah, actually, I do have a question.

I usually do keep up in the right-hand threads and have an inkling when a new thread is put up. Usually it's a "second verse, same as the first" sorta thing. But if, for example, a Veronica Mars thread is created, would I have to hit "home" and search through tv-media-whatever esoteric title the folder is given to find and subscribe to such a thread? And it would then come up on my message center, right?

I do occasionally click on "home" just to see what's going on in threads I don't habitually frequent. So this would just be looking through separate folders for anything tasty, rather than reading down the unbroken list of threads on the home page?

I'm sorry if I'm only at kiddiegarten level--I don't code, and the talk gets circular and I get lost.

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

If you miss the Press announcement (and my suggestion is, if you care about these sorts of things, read press, but that doesn't seem to be the habit), it'll always be listed on your profile page allowing you subscribe from there.

Yes, I keep up in everything yellow and right-handed. Ooh--profile page. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Your tag here.

I hit the Message Center link on the left hand side and when the page loaded, on the right side was

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: listgroups() in /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/main_right.php on line 3

I hit the Message Center link again and all is well now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Closed Threads folder is at the very top now? That doesn't seem right.

Unless it's an alphabetical thing, in which case it's still weird, like, "Whee, here are our closed threads, come read them!"

And nevermind.
