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.'

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"...let in the Buffistas" is kinda vague. He's going to need details. Email him what you have, and cc the admins.

Backup plan: check with beekaytee first, but if you are confident in the identities, you can send the Zoom link to them yourself.

Our wings are not tired.

If Buffistas can't log in they need to click the forgot password link and they will get an email to reset. If they don't remember what email they used on the board they can message me and I can look it up. I don't see any method to reset a password on the admin side or generate that email.

Coding and Sleeping

Hmmm.... I'm not set up to make code changes on the board real quick at the moment. I can start setting up to do so. I'm a bit strapped for time with the new job, working on a new site for my wife, and doing some work on the house.

I would like to set myself up though. I've wanted to make a few minor changes. I had thought about migrating the site to Spring (my bread and butter) but I think that is just too much work so I'm hoping to just move to a newer version of Ruby on Rails.

Don't suppose there are any other Rails people in the house? Calling myself a Rails person is a bit of a stretch.

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

FYI: I just got the following email from Google; I may not be the only one who got it, as I suspect the original stompies would have all had access to the referenced blog - it did remind me for the first time in forever that at one point we were using the buffistas.info domain to point to a blog where we could post updates in case of board outages etc, back when we had a much bigger problem with that happening.

We no longer have the domain (or at least, it's no longer pointing anywhere), and we've long since defaulted to using the FB group for "is it just me or is the board down" check-ins. I don't think there would be any content there that would be worth rescuing, or any action we need to take other than just letting the blogger account expire. But I did want to let everyone know!

Whoops, wrong thread. Nothing to see here. Move it along.

Our wings are not tired.

ETA: I did a search after typing this message and see that Gud has answered about Thread Suck and also I think Cindy's question about the threads being shown in order of new posts. Great! I know Gud is super busy which is why I say I'd personally pay for the hours needed to add back thread suck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, I know I have asked this several times before and don't want to be a pest, but to be able to Thread Suck used to be one of my favorite tools for this site. I don't know if that's in the queue for the site still? Or if it ever was? I'd be happy to pay for the time of whoever can make that happen. Maybe I am the only person who used it? But a definitive answer about whether it's even on the list would be great. Thank you!

I used the thread suck a lot too. Miss it, but have no clue if it is hard to add back.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Hey there! I’m on my phone, and every time I try to subscribe to the new Goodbye, I get logged out. I still have the issue of whenever I get logged out (timing, etc), I have to “reset” my password, but here, if o just go back a few pages, I’m logged in again. Very weird

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

Vortex, I had that happen when I clicked the link to the new Goodbye from Bureau. I had to navigate to the new thread from Buffistas Home instead.
