Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Looks pretty good.

First glance at the code doesn't look like a bunch will need to be cleaned up for other boards. I mean, other than the fact that everything's referencing giles.php, heh! But anyway, you weren't kidding about your going overboard on the quotes engine, which, obviously is chock full of show specific references.

I'll do some line by line tomorrow, hopefully.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did you enter CSS that had no effect?

This one. I copied it from my profile here, which now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that works, either!

I figured out my problem with the css -- that was straight-up user error. It did edit my stylesheet, just not in the way I thought.

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

Oh, as usual, dear. I completely forgot that's what I called the main library of functions that didn't fall within a class...I mean, I knew what the filename was, obviously--I've been in and out of Giles all weekend (yes, it does need to be phrased that way), I just forgot it was an in joke, audience=1.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Heh. In jokes, audience=1 are the best kinds.

So, ballpark--Liese, Amy, Jesse, Vortex, and Sox--when do you think you'll have bounced around all the functions in the document linked upthread?

And if there's anything maybe a bit weird you do here, please do it twice as weirdly there. That's the sort of bouncing on the bed that we need to test the foundations.

Because books.

Uh, week's end? I have no time during the day.

Do we need to test stuff others have already done? Like, Vortex and Liese were blocking and unblocking each other, so should I do that, too?

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

If we had detailed records, I'd say no. But I don't know if unblocking works from the profile page, for instance, or unblocking a single post works, it's best if you try it all. Everyone will do stuff differently, so it'll be more thorough that way.

But I'm not trying to rush anyone--just trying to schedule my own stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'd say by weekend. I'm through most of it.
