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

Okay, here's something weird. I was browsing the board using Mozilla, and I noticed that every time I clicked 'Next', it was opening the next page in a new browser window. Also, if I clicked on a piece of text to copy it, instead of selecting the text, I got an outline of the HTML table cell that the text resided in, almost as if I was in a WSYSIWYG HTML editor. Very odd. I tried clicking on an external link, and now everything is working properly again, and I can no longer duplicate the behavior.

I hate computers.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Sounds like a weird-ass Mozilla bug.

That's my thought, too. Probably a momentary bad reaction to php.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a question about the search engine -- are the posts returned in any order, or just randomly? I thought they used to be returned chronologically, but I tried it this morning, and they're all mixed up.

Jess, I think they may be sorted first by thread ID, and then chronologically, so that you'll see all your posts in thread #1 first, in order, then thread #2

But I was only searching one thread at a time.

It turns out I'm wrong. It's chronological if you're only searching by poster, but seemingly random if you include keywords.

Which, maybe, is one of the reasons it's still beta?

As previously stated, it's in beta, which is why there is currently no links to it.
