Thanks. I got both your messages and will check it out.

ita -- I can't speak for all the unactivated accounts, but one or two might be me. I registered my old WXing name "Cindy A." and possibly my old Bronze name "Xanderella" - just so nobody else could use them and confuse me. (You know - like "Huh? I posted that Andrew was a hottie? When did I get drugged" - or summat.)

However, I can't remember if I created those accounts during the testing period, or after go-live. If they are there and are a problem though, feel free to delete them.

I would encourage the eventual development of a separate headers page for old threads (aka the TT attic) to avoid front page clutter. This would allow normal access to those threads, as separate from the archives page, which holds complete threadsucked threads. I see those as two independent functions: one is genuinely archiving -- I'd go get them if I wanted to posess the whole thread, the other is just a housekeeping holder for the dead threads, that allows me to read (in the normal way) the last messages of a thread that I didn't get to before the new one was created.

I just got this quote:

Angel: I can stay in town as long as you want me. Buffy: How's forever? Does forever work for you?
, 'Forever'

Just saw this announcement over in WX:

Warning:

In the near future, World Crossing will require the discussion expiration time to be set to a number between 1 and 120 days. Please change the expiration time now to avoid future problems!

You can exempt specific discussions from expiration by marking them as Permanent. To do so, enter the discussion you wish to mark, and click the EDIT button for the initial post of the discussion. Then mark the checkbox to indicate the discussion should be permanent.

Off to permanentize our stuff.

Have you had any luck with the download script I sent you?

Tom, no I haven't, but I really haven't had much chance to play with it. Last I looked, it was still closing the perl window before I had a chance to see why it was aborting, but I haven't been able to follow up on that.

If she confirms, I can fix it.

C'est moi. That was when I had just barely delurked and I was very scared. (Shy, that is, not ax-murderer scared.) But it was fun! And I got home that night to realize that the cable had gone out 10 minutes into the finale becuase of storms, so I was extra-glad I mustered the courage to go. Thanks meara!

OK, Brenda, I'll ID you ASAP.

I was thinking maybe I'd take names and match up people who forgot to do Secret Santa (like me). Does anyone have any objections?

If not, I'll do an announcement in Press.
