Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Would anyone be willing/able to walk me through the ballot-making/voting set-up procedure? I'd like the F2F ciy vote to function like the VM vote, rather than like the date vote did, but I don't know how to do that.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Although this part seems to be over, I am chiming in to say that I too think the front page read header should say "Folders" instread of "Subfolders", like Perkins, Kat, et als. It makes me think I am missing some sort of bigger folder that doesn't exist.

However, I think this may be a pedantic semantic coder vs. non-coder communication failure.

The VM vote, like every "official" Buffista vote, must currently be "manually" created by me. Well, it doesn't have to be me, but it's got to be someone with access to the site's file who has some basic PHP skills.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ah, I see. Well, then, I'll stick with Mr. Poll, as he treats me fine, and I know how to make him work

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uh, can the subfolders go under the "discussion threads" bar? I am enjoying watching the evolution of the front page, and think the folder icons are adorable.

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

I guess they could -- I'm not sure the folders are foldery enough to make it obvious, so I'm not a fan of it right now.

Jon, did you take out the extra space? Because now the deeper folder headers are messed up. I'll tweak that later.

Our wings are not tired.

The folders are foldery, but itty bitty because I'm in 1280x1024. They might be more foldery if larger. Right now they are only foldery looking to me because I know what they are.

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

I'm in 1280x1024.

Me too, and they are very small. But I love them! Even if they look more like briefcases than folders.
