All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My iPhone kept me logged in for four hours today! I had to log in earlier but it actually remembered me four hours later!

Edit: and now I just had to log in again. Not a big deal but I was a little excited.

odd thing - when I log in to the site from different computers, it remembers where I was on that computer, not the last thing that the Vortex account read. (I was getting the oddest sense of deja vu until I figured it out)

Thrive to spite them

I have tried to read all the comments here but there were like 200 so I don't know if this has been addressed.

I use Chrome and in both my phone and computer I'm having to put in my user name and password everytime even when I check remember me.

Also in the Message Center are threads supposed to re order based on new posts? I know on the old board new posts would push threads to the top but that isn't happening now so I keep losing track and forgetting to scroll down .

I like the new board for mobile definitely but I'm still getting user to it on the desktop computer. I think the fonts aren't dark enough or something because it doesn't feel like it has weight but I'm getting used to it.

What is even happening?

Also in the Message Center are threads supposed to re order based on new posts? I know on the old board new posts would push threads to the top but that isn't happening now so I keep losing track and forgetting to scroll down .

I would like it if that's a modification we could consider. I feel like some topics (e.g. the Supernatural series finale) probably got a little less traction, because they fall further down the list, and people don't always see there has been activity.

I suppose for people who always use "read new" it doesn't matter. I don't use "read new," because I choose threads based on what I'm in the mood to read, or have time to read.

Cindy is me. I’ve never used Read New.

Yeah, I never use read new and would love dynamic thread sorting if possible, but will totally deal if not.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes I’ve also mentioned the want for the threads with new posts appearing at top.

Also, is thread suck on list for future?

It is so interesting how people read the board. I only use read new, so when a new natter starts, I usually miss it for awhile!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just checking -- are we still hosted on Dreamhost? (Should I still be paying that bill?)

I'm having to reset my password every time I want to log in to the board as my most recently set password throws an error message (wrong email or p/w error). What am I doing wrong?
