Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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

Jon, check the test site to see the impact.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Or recreate the error on the test site.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I wouldn't want to do it again here!

t edit whoops! Hi ita!

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

but I don't understand how that would break the Edit function, as it would have come before the error.

I'm guessing that the edit function is similar to a single post page, in that it reposts the post to be edited, so any ensuing effects would be the same.

edit: To be clear, we could get to the Edit Post page, and edit the text, but the post button didn't work.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yowsa! That's one table-breaker, ain't it?

I'll have to look at it at home, where I've got better html editing/analysis tools. I might not get to it for a couple of days (I'm in the middle of a big fundraising project with my radio station). I'm sure it can wait until then, but if someone else wants to take a crack, feel free.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

There's an unclosed size tag in post 5039 of Firefly.

Ok, nevermind. It's been fixed.

Oh hey, I just though of something about bandwidth -- someone recently posted that they had Message Centre set on one-minute refresh.

If we have a lot of people doing that, the bandwidth will be inflated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was wondering about that -- are there things we could do to reduce our bandwidth usage? I mean, tell me not to click refresh a zillion times a minute, and I'll...try really hard. If it'll help.

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

Well, I think a one-minute refresh on the message center rather than just clicking "read new" when you're in front of the computer is a bit much, bandwidth-wise. I think a minute of clicking refresh madly and then going away is in the end far more conservationist!


Jesse - Nov 11, 2002 5:03:23 pm PST #1399 of 10000
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So maybe we shouldn't let people set their own refresh rate? Just set it at 5 minutes or something for everyone? Or something?

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

Or set the minimum at 5.
