I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Cool. Now, if we could just flood the originating IP with messages that all say "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!" it'd be perfect.

Water. Out. My. Nose.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm also reminded of Stark's ("Farscape") little rant which would be equally appropriate:

"my side, your side!" "my side, your side!"

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

Question -- is there a handy list of allowed tags posted anywhere?

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

Jessica, here they are:

  • <a>
  • <b>
  • <i>
  • <u>
  • <ul>
  • <ol>
  • <li>
  • <p>
  • <br>
  • <strike>
  • <table>
  • <tr>
  • <td>
  • <th>
  • <font>

Stylistically, what does everyone think about bolding the thread title if there are new messages?

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure! (680 messages, 2 new)

It would make spotting new posts easier.

Also, ita, have you had a chance to review the tag closing code I submitted? Will it work for you? Is there anything you need me to do?

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

Stylistically, what does everyone think about bolding the thread title if there are new messages?

I subscribe to a few threads that I don't really try to keep up in. I would find it kind of annoying to always have those in bold in my Message Center.

I can't imagine what it'd make the main page look like.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, I think it would make message center look weird, with some threads bold and others not.

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

Stylistically, what does everyone think about bolding the thread title if there are new messages?

That would be terribly annoying.

Heh. I'd probably just constantly be trying to get rid of all the bold to catch up, catch up, catch up!! and make it all look uniform again. So, it would not appeal to me. And might drive me a little batty(er).
