I have asterisks at the bottom of all the threads
You always have asterisks at the bottom of the threads. You usually just don't notice them.
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

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

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I would just like to thank all those who have worked so hard to code this board. S'brilliant, really. I am extremely thankful for the elegance of appearance and ease of use.

Compassionately intolerant
Echoing with sincere appreciation for the effort, expertise and sheer artistry that keeps the board so shiny and simple. I can't imagine the behind-the-scenes complexity that goes into it.
There are so many boards/forums out there. Of the roughly 500 I've seen personally, none even comes close to being as gorgeous as this one.
Many awestruck thanks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, guys!

The site won't remember my login. I thought it might be an issue with my work computer, but I'm having the same thing happen now that I'm home.

Did this just start, MG?
Try changing it to not remember you, log out, log back in again and tell it to remember you.
If it doesn't work, that'll help with troubleshooting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
MG, because you were signed into my computer this weekend, there's a chance that that got changed from Yes to No somehow. That happened to someone else who used my computer a while back.

Perkins - bing, bing, bing. I didn't even check that cause I'm a dork.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How hard would it be to change the html title of the message center, to add the number of unread posts at the end?
For example, currenty the title of Bloglines is
Bloglines | My Feeds (12)
telling me at a glance to Firefox tab for that page that I have 12 unread blog posts on Bloglines.
Not a big deal, but it'd be nice to have if this was an easy thing to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At the time the header is generated, the code doesn't know how many posts are unread. In fact, the page never knows--the thread titles (with unread counts) are returned to it as text from another function.
So there'd be more tweaking than might first seem required.
