Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Kat - it was a general post. I shouldn't have used the "should" word. Of course you can feel anyway you want. And of course there is nothing here people cannot live with or even joyfully adapt to.

It is just that - the software world is different. And people spot things in real world use they don't in testing. And I really wasn't answering you (though I am now) It is just that your post sparked in my brain a new way of looking at *how* software is different. And I felt the need to explain - because I though it was a neat way to look at it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita, I'm sorry but I think I missed some replies during the switchover to Phoenix. Can you reiterate how you want the batch o' quotes file to be formatted for the random Buffyquote generator? If I do comma separated will that be a problem with commas in the quotes? Would semicolon separated work better?

Nilly just sent me a big batch of quotes which I can send right away.

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

Hec, don't know how much detail you have, but the layout that we have now is:

  • character name 50 chars
  • season
  • episode
  • quote

Season and episode are optional, but nice. Commas are okay.

Read New? Oh! I didn't even realize it was there.

<edit> It works. That is so, so cool.

(Will it scan for the sidebar-ed threads, too, like COMM and this thread?)

Yep.

OK then that's one more reason for sidebar threads to appear in Message Centre.

Or maybe for it to be a preference in Profiles or whatever.

I don't understand, John. Don't they appear in the Message Center already?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I'm wondering if all the people who joined us at WX understand the message center, as that was a TT thing we all missed when we exited.

They appear on the right, where they always are, but even if you're subscribed to them, they don't appear in the list of threads in the centre column.

Just for the record, our Message Centre doesn't behave the way TT's did.

TT's showed post (X plus one) of any subscribed threads if it existed, where X is the number of the last post you read.
