Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

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

Done - the original runaway whitefont was hiding the later runaway whitefont that I fixed earlier: hope it's fixed this time, but holler if it's still acting up.

Quick.

Edits.

They're your friend!

Yep, that's taken care of the problem, it looks like.

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

For future reference, escaped whitefont isn't a really technical issue and should go in B'cracy because any admin is theoretically equally able to address it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've always assumed anything a stompy can address belongs in here. When I read the thread descriptions, escaped whitefont seems more like tech support than administrative discussions. Should the B'cracy description be updated to make that more clear?

Stompys aren't tech support. Scola and I are tech support, pretty much. That's why the stompies are listed in the B'cracy header, not this one.

Oh OK. I thought Stompy was the buffista word for Admin.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The tiny slugs on the left column might need to be changed. I can see why "Tech support and site development." versus "Administrative discussions" might be confusng for someone who wasn't around when it was set up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It is, but only ita and Scola have the keys to the kingdom; they deal with anything back-end or that needs actual programming. The rest of us stompies deal with anything that can be handled through the interface, which includes stuff ranging from new threads through editing errant posts and the occasional hand-smacking of a troll.

The only stuff that should be going in this thread is what needs ita or Tom's attention; i.e., major shenanigans. Even minor tech stuff should just get logged in bugtracker, where they'll see it and can deal with it through channels. That is to say, default to Bureau. If it needs to be escalated to here that's not a big deal, but it keeps it cleaner for the tech folks to have someplace to watch that only fires up if there's a, ahem, fire.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Has anyone else had a problem with consistently getting logged out here on the iPhone?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can someone please kill my post 16713 in Natter? I can't edit or delete it. (my <a> tag had a single quote and a double quote surrounding the URL.

eta: Also, it's screwing up the page display.
