I'd be in favour of a politics thread; I'm presuming flame-free doesn't mean vigorous-disagreement-free, and I think a thread where the conversation was a bit more robust than Natter would actually be quite good. (Although it would probably end up being mostly American politics, but I can live with that.)
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

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.

I've got a question: when I click on message center shouldn't I get a list of only those threads I'm subscribed to?
But no - I got the Atlantic Monday Madness thread - - I'm SOOO not subscribed to that!!!
Is that the way it's supposed to work?

Correct. I just won't stick around in a thread where my beliefs are belittled--I consider that a flame. Disagreed with? Bring it on. *g*

Hey! Do I smell?
You do smell, but I don't think you stink.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
You do smell, but I don't think you stink.
On which note, yesterday was Samuel Johnson's birthday. (Ever the advocate of proper English, and an infrequent bather, he once responded to a woman complaining "Sir, you smell" with "No madam, you smell. I stink.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sumi, Alibelle says she has to log off and log back on again for her subs changes to show up. Does that work for you?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
shouldn't I get a list of only those threads I'm subscribed to?
I get that thread (and a couple of others I'm not subbed to) showing up on the message center, but when I go through on Read New it skips them. Doesn't bother me to have them there, I can see where other centers of activity are.

I hadn't subscribed in the first place. . .
Do I just automatically get all threads in "message center"?
