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.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.
'The Message'
Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

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?

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

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Interesting point. I doubt that keeping the old threads around in the main area affects performance, but after a while, the main page will look rather cluttered. I think that once we've gotten a threadsuck utility going, we'll start to archive old Phoenix threads.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
You should also keep yourself subscribed to Natter 1 and 2 so that the search function will search them when you search your subscribed threads.
