SPEAKING of the search engine, I would just like to repeat my request that evenutally we're able to search for words of less than 4 letters. And I'm not just saying that so I can search for my own name! There's also ita's name! And acronyms for stuff! THERE ARE A LOT OF VERY IMPORTANT THREE-LETTER WORDS.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
A quote nitpick:
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!
Dawn, 'Crush'
When it's an exchange, I think it would look better if the attribution just had the episode.

like ass - what if someone has a particularly nice ass, but you can't remember who that someone is and need to know - right now?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think you could find JZ by searching "asstastik".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The problem is the comma. If I have this right, right now the database of quotes has a field for speaker and a field for episode, so if there's no speaker listed, it looks like " , Episode" and that's also annoying.
I think it's 6 of one at this stage.

if speaker t null then " ," else ""
or whatever the equivalent in PHP is, right? t /naive

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
DX is right. Getting rid of the comma for those cases is pretty easy.
John H - Dec 05, 2002 1:22:47 pm PST #1881 of 10000
Looks right to me. Only you don't need the else to say "else nothing".
if($speaker){echo', ';}
or even just:
echo($speaker?', ':'';)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
'Twas my reaction as well. Maybe the SecretHiddenAsterisks near the bottom of the page became a part of the post?
Did it get sufficiently explained to y'all? Basically, everything that I tried to put inside whitefont (and everything thereafter) showed up in the final post as *********. I'd missed the closing quote on "white."
