Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Check above -- I haven't asked for anything but a cite.

Sorry if I was rude. I just thought everyone would look at it and go "of course that's wrong" -- I honestly never thought anyone would think it was anything other than an error.

OK the transcript says "sir" but the shooting script says:

XANDER
But gee, Mr. White, if Clark and Lois 
get all the big stories I'll never be a 
real reporter.
(off his look)
Jimmy Olsen jokes are pretty much 
gonna be lost on you.

Thrive to spite them

Also, when I click on Buffistas Home instead of Message Center I get the same problem. I see 5 new Messages in Natter and Bitches but they are the same 5 messages I've just read.

It's like the cacheing change and the fact that pages are now being cached are somehow connected...

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

I think that now we're down to browser settings. When I hit 'Message Center', the page refreshes. If I then go into a thread, and then use the back button to get back to the Message Center, it doesn't refresh, which is how God intended it, darn it.

Oh man, and you know what else? Huh? Huh? I can hit the back button from the posting box, and then go forward, and my post IS STILL THERE!!!

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

force a refresh (ctrl+f5, IEistas.)

A keyboard way to do this! I knew you could do it by holding down Ctrl while clicking Refresh, but I'll use this too.

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

Well, it's back to the broke way it was before. There aren't enough settings for session_cache_limiter. But DX is right -- what I did was put it in the hands of the browser. But there has to be another way.

John -- the shooting script is often wrong. That's why I wasn't using it as the final source.

the shooting script is often wrong

Not wrong in cases like this though, surely. Someone from ME wrote it the way I hear it.

Xander's line on the show is essentially the same as in the script, but got misheard in transcription, that's all.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I tried restarting my computer to see if that would help, and when I came back here, it still had me logged in. And it keeps making me log in again when I try to read stuff, and whenever it does it puts me back in Bitches.

In order to get the page to refresh, I'm having to force a refresh (ctrl+f5, IEistas.)

Is that the same thing as hitting the refresh button? Because that hasn't been working for me. I'll try ctrl+f5.

What characterizes a case like this? One where it agrees with you? C'mon man, I'm asking for nothing more than for someone to pull a tape, verify (perhaps send off a note to psyche) and then we'll edit. I think it's perfectly reasonable to have an authority chain that runs memory > script > transcript > tape.

I am absolutely not saying you're wrong or the transcript is right.

There should be a long, clearly distinguishable pause after "Sir," the way I'd say it. The other would be all run together. Let's have Scrappy check her tape for it, she's a professional.
