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

If there is, I haven't found it.

When I first set up the new Lost thread, I specifically selected "Film and TV Discussions" in the Folders combo box. When I hit update, the system ignored the selection, and put the new thread in the default folder instead. I had to go back and edit the record to get it into the correct folder. That worked fine.

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

Have we created threads directly into that folder before? Was VM created after folders went up? I don't remember a problem then.

I'll look into it, but I can't promise speediness.

I don't think it's a priority. We don't create a lot of foldered threads, and the work around is easy. I just wanted to mention it.

Thanks. That really should work, since it's been in place forever, what with the right hand threads.

You know what should be a feature? ::quietly shoots self in head:: NAFDA. A checkbox, which, if checked, puts the NAFDA text in the header/slug/etc, nicely and conspicously formatted.

Any progress on styling the site, Jon?

Even better, have it show up as a link to the FAQ info as to what NAFDA means.

(I was actually thinking of adding the link manually when I was setting up the thread, but then saw something shiny elsewhere.)

That would rock.

It should go on the list.

I just added the link to Lost 2's slug and description.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hm. Only thing I see is that making it a link makes it blue or link-color-of-choice instead of red.
