When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The admin-only "Maintain Links" page is empty of links as well.

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

Not only that, clicking on the "edit" link next to those empty slots on the admin-only "Maintain Links" page doesn't do anything other than return you to the admin-only "Maintain Links" page.

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

Okay, links.php should be fine.

Is the "maintain links" page showing you link categories? And you can edit those?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Can you all think of any reason why in Firefox ona mac, I can't highlight any text (white font, or something to cut and paste.

I get two thin blue lines going down the sides of the entire thead, as though it is one graphuc or something?

Everything seems to be working fine in Exploerer and also, now that I am work, on a PC with Firefox.

Just ignore what I said. I got mixed up. I meant the admins version of the links page, not the maintain links page (which seems to be working fine now). The admin version of the links page seems to be just ducky as well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sophia, every so often Firefox/Mozilla on OS X will just go wonky on me, requiring that I restart Firefox/Mozilla. I've had your specific problem several times.

Is this a recent problem? I was cutting and pasting just fine on OS X last night, but I haven't tried it today yet.

the maintain links page (which seems to be working fine now)

For the record, I haven't changed this at all -- but I did find a lurking foreach in the links.php.

Finding the evil foreaches is hard, since some of the formulations (70%?) work, so it's both searching and eyeballing to track the puppies down.

It is a recent problem. I will try again later, after a restart. I was just having trouble reading the Jack Bauer whitefont in Natter this morning

I'm inclined to cast a wary eye of suspicion on Firefox in general. Since I installed it on my laptop, both that program and AOL OS X have been very freeze-up prone. I've had to do more force quits since Friday than I normally have to do in a month.

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

Sophia, every so often Firefox/Mozilla on OS X will just go wonky on me, requiring that I restart Firefox/Mozilla. I've had your specific problem several times.

Oh, I was wondering if this was just me! Yeah, every now and then all of the text fields will just stop responding. Restarting Firefox fixes it.
