Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, me too:

Also, I'm not sure how I feel yet about the moved posting box -- change is hard! -- or the colored thread name. I LOVE having the thread name there, though.

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

Yeah, same here.

Ditto for me.

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

God I love this message. Can I use it in my own software?

Likewise, on the errors.

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

Those errors mean that either the database server went down, or the host dropped the connection to it.

Making note, keeping track, and noticing I'm always working during those errors. Maybe it's my attention that keeps Hostrocket running.

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

For a balanced look at the bottom of the page, either the "Buffistas Home | FAQ | etc" line should be aligned with the posts, or the posting box should move back to the left.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Jon, how about

"To post in Threadname Verylong Wittyclever,
compose your text in the box below, then click "Post Message."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Michele - If you're putting in a hard line-break after the thread title, I think it can look ugly. It's simple, using a table, to make the text have the same width as the posting box. Then, the text will always break in the appropriate place, although the thread title might wrap to the second line. I still think that would look better. What do you think?
