The new feature, where we can set the number of posts per page? The one I thought I was silly enough to skip its announcement and therefore accidentally discovered only this morning, but only by skimming here discovered that it's actually brand new?

Well, it rocks. Like a thing that rocks. Thank you, ever so much, all those who are involved with bettering this already wonderful place.

[Edit: and not-native-English-listener-me have always heard that line the way John and co do, FWIW.]

The Zeppo DVD subtitles agree with John, and FWIW, my ears do too. Now I must nap, for it is exhausting being noble enough to watch Buffy before work.

Quote updated.

John -- forgot to give you this for your coding:

class Quote {
var $id;
var $char; // character saying the quotation
var $quote; // quotation text
var $season; // quotation season
var $episode; // episode number
var $title; //episode title
}

Thanks, for both of those things.

Hey, in the table you showed me yesterday, the

show_name

thing, is that just a y/n which determines whether the character's names come up, to solve that blank-character-name, tautologous-character-name thing, or am I missing something?

Ah, yes. Show name is part of the join between episode and quotes -- A for Angel and B for Buffy.

tag closage.

the shooting script is often wrong

The transcripts are wrong/different sometimes, too - even from the less cutesy transcribers. For what it's worth, I've watched the episode a bajillion times and it's not sir, it's jokes are and given Nick's delivery, the jokes're contraction is probably the most accurate way in which to transcribe it.

We dropped a post in Natter today. The post immediately following this one:

appears to have been eaten. There was an outage at buffistas.org at about the same time.

Hullo, I have a Q: I just spent a bit of time writing a longish thing about 3 books in Literary and when I went to post it, it vanished at the same time that it told me I'd flipped into guest mode. It's not the first time it's happened, and it's really frustrating. What's happening? Do I have only a certain amount of time in a message block before it self-destructs?

Java cat - I have no technical information for you about this problem, but have had similar problems at other boards.

For the meantime, as a work-around, you might want to consider either composing your posts in a word processing program or on your PC's notepad. If you can't be bothered or forget in the heat of the posting fugue state, try to make it a habit to copy your message before you post it. If something goes wonky in the posting process - you'll still have it. Good luck. That's a really frustrating thing to have happen. It hasn't happened to me here, but it used to happen to me at other boards and made me completely nuts.
