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

Hey! You're right!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh. Somebody's been coding.

Although BBaBB is not quite in it's previous position (which was above lightbulbs). Which doesn't bother me in the least.

Our wings are not tired.

Well Bravo for the fingers that put Bureaucracy back in the one true position.

Yes, whoever coded the board to put B'Craxxy back in its proper place, thank you. I know you all do this for free, because you want to, and none of you have lots of free time to begin with.

Here's a tiny nit to pick. There's an extra space in front of the word "Subfolders" on the home page, making it so that it doesn't line up with the Word "Discussion" in the bar below it.

<td class="section-header" align="left" bgcolor="#990000">&nbsp; Subfolders</td>

vs

<td class="section-header" align="left" bgcolor="#990000">&nbsp;Discussion Threads</td>

Huh. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen anymore (i.e., posts past 10,000):

move out and draw fire

I checked the "To-Do" list and didn't see this, but I could swear it's been mentioned before.

When I put line break tags in a post, and then go back and edit it, there's a close bold tag before every line break tag. If I delete the close bold tags and post the message again, then edit it again, they are back.

Not a P1 by any means, just wondering if you guys were aware of this and knew either what I'm doing wrong (with putting the tags in, let's not get started on my whole life) or what I need to do to have cleaner markup.

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

I think it's a side-effect of the thing that auto-closes open tags.

Swouncing

If we're already nitpicking about tidying up things?

It's not any sort of urgent, but I just thought I'd mention it: on the "Threadsuck" page, the list of threads from which something to be threadsucked can be chosen includes all the threads that ever existed on b.org, starting from the first threads in everything, even Natter and Bitches. So the list is quite long, and the archived threads can't be threadsucked anyway. When attempting to threadsuck one of them, it ends up in a blank page with only the name of the thread, its description and a link back to b.org.

So, something to put at the bottom of the "To Do" list, I guess.

The real reason I poked my head in here is to thank the people who work hard. I always use my "Message Center", so I had no idea something was going on, had it not been for the posts here. And I guess I want to thank you for that, as well (um, for cleaning up one thing without messing anything else around, that is).

Behold the folder icons. Iffn you want them bigger (or any other changes), it'll have to wait until this evening.
