A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Breadcrumbs

So none of this matters if you're using Message Center, correct?

a) that triangles are accurate in this context

I have seen triangles elsewhere used this exact same way. I know that doesn't make it right, but I still feel that it's the best graphic for the situation. I didn't think any of the other suggestions were any better.

2. that listing them vertically scales well.

Not sure what you mean. They look right to me.

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

So none of this matters if you're using Message Center, correct?

If you use it solely as the means to navigate from thread to thread, no. But when you're in a thread, you're a variable number of clicks from its parent folder, and that's not good.

I didn't think any of the other suggestions were any better.

Even the folders? The purist in me cries out for bullets in just about any other shape. Those folders are begging to be clicked on to expand.

They look right to me.

They do now. But they push the thread list down -- and when one scales up to, say, fifteen folders, I think we're wasting real estate.

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

Just out of curiousity, is there any reason they couldn't be made expandable?

Other than my laziness? Not really.

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

ita, the script kiddies seem to be trying something different. Check the admins mailbox.

Dammit. They found the 'email the admins' page.

I'm going to temporarily disable it, and then doublecheck the code when I get more time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Why are they so interested in us?

Our wings are not tired.

Because we're very pretty.

I swear, the "Mission: Impossible" theme went through my head at that.

What is even happening?

I left Natter loaded with this as the last post: Topic!Cindy "Natter 39 and Holding" Oct 14, 2005 3:06:46 pm PDT

I just came back, and hit the message center link at the bottom of the page, and got the following error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/classes/email.php on line 51
