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.

What is even happening?

On the other hand, it would give you the opportunity to pop up a page that says "Get a life" whenever someone attempts to use a b.org address on the form.
Yes! Or, "You have just generated an automatic abuse report to your ISP."

Or both.

I completely understand the objection-in-principle, though.

Sean K says that he's (she's?) used to being able to tab from this textarea, have the "Post message" button highlighted and then press the Enter key to post a message. This tab order apparently differs from browser to browser.

One quick and easy way to force this behavior cross-browser is to use the tabindex attribute. You'd need to set the tabindex="1" in the "content" textarea:

<textarea name="content" rows="10" cols="40" class="formpost" wrap="virtual" tabindex="1"></textarea>

and tabindex="2" in the "Post message" button:

<p><input name="addpost" value="[post]" src="showthread.php_files/btn_post.gif" border="0" height="25" type="image" width="155" tabindex="2"></p>

Incidentally, there are two controls named "addpost": the Post message button and a hidden field. I've tested the above in Windows XP, IE and Firefox and it works.

hey, stompies, I sent an email to dcistas@buffistas.org, and it didn't seem to go to anyone (including me), nor did it bounce back to me. What gives! :)

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

Who's Red Emma 78? Her and meara are listed as admins. Maybe we should also set up a default stompy admin address on each list, but as things stand, Scola might be able to do some back end jiggery, but the rest of us have no powers above mere mortal with regards to the lists.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ita, Red Emma 78 is Lyra Jane.

that's Lyra Jane, who I haven't seen in a while.

Actually, I seem to recall her suggesting that someone else take her place, because she wasn't around the board very much.

I'm an admin, but I don't actually know how to....administrate any of it.

Up with the sun

I check the right-hand threads, anyhow, even if I can't keep up with anything else.

I have no idea why the bouncyness, or lack thereof. Um, how would I do a test?
