I have a feature for release 3.2 of the search engine (which is in beta). Search by date to let you see if anyone mentioned your name today in Natter. I thought of this when we had some posts about scrappy's dental work 500 posts after the initial discussion.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'd like to humbly request that we get features like the search engine and threadsuck out of beta before we embark on a new project.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think Jessica should volunteer to be the collector of the special ME ID numbers for all the eps she has on tape/disk.
Um, don't tape, and have no interest in this project. Sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think the projects intersect, Jon.
Certainly I'm the only one involved in both, and they aren't pulling from the same resource space of me.

I'll volunteer to get the special ME ID numbers, but I may have to fake first season Angel codes until the DVDs come out, since I didn't tape all the shows then.

Most episode guide sites have the codes with the episode numbers.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Certainly not a high priority, but as someone who just bounces on the "Read New" button, would it be possible to add a way to be automatically subscribed to new (non-NAFDA, non-spoiler, non-adult) threads?

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

Either that, or a 'subscribe' button (edit: or link) in the thread.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Either that, or a 'subscribe' button in the thread.
Nah -- that wouldn't work. If you use Read New all the time, you won't ever even see the new thread unless you know a new thread is coming and go look for it in either Home or your profile. For my part, I remembered to go hunting for a new Natter this morning, but I frankly have no idea whether the Farscape thread ever got created or not. If it's there, it has never once crossed my radar.
One thought, although it's harder to code, would be a dialogue you'd get the first time you hit Read New after a thread's been added; something like "A new thread (title) (slug) has been created. Do you want to subscribe to it?"

It's there, BTW.
