Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

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

Jon, I was looking at the Buffista Gallery, and I noticed that in the photos of the DC/NoVA Finale Party, there's someone identified as "???" who looks an awful lot like Brenda Mercer. Any way to fix the identification?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It does look like her, doesn't it? ;)

If she confirms, I can fix it.

Uh...is the time change fucking things up?

Bitches ate my post, and now it says it has -13 new messages. We don't have negative new messages do we?

Yeah, Steph and I noticed it too. It's gotta be due to the time change. ita will need to fix it. Let's hope it's an easy one.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Bitches ate my post

Nope. It isn't eating them -- it's putting the "new" time ones in chronological order with the "old" time ones. So they don't appear as the most recent post.

I mean, that's still a problem, but it's not eating posts.

Yes, from that DC party, it WOULD in fact be Brenda Mercer. But I think that when I sent those pics to Jon, I'd only met her the once, and wasn't sure who she was.

I'm very certain who she is now!!! (And sad she doesn't live in DC, sniff)

In my Set Profile page, I am given the option for subscribing to Natters One and Two. Is it planned that at some point these will go dormant?

Depends upon whether you want them in your message center or not. If you've read all the messages, they'll never pop up in read new.

Swouncing

So The Archives are only for non-Phoenix threads (unlike those of WX)?

[Edit: I mean, if I understand it correctly, in WX the archives were needed in order to prevent the finished threads from being deleted, which is not a problem here, right?

Not asking for anything, of course, just wondering how things work]

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

I'll need to finish writing the threadsuck before those threads can be added to the archive.
