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.

Java, a lot of us have had similar problems, but ita has so far been unable to duplicate it so that she can work on a fix. Cindy's advice is good, or else make a habit of copying the text of your post to the clipboard becore hitting the Post button..

I just got this quote:

Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!'
Oz, ''

Fun punctuation.

FYI: I just got the following error (since I know nothing about technical stuff, I don't know if this is important or not!):

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

I've just had a funny thing happen in Natter: SA posted, billytea posted a reply, I wrote a reply and posted it, to see that billytea had deleted his post, so I edit mine accordingly, but now I see no SA post, no billytea post, and not my post either. Where did they go? I think they should have come after post 2495.

The posts you replied to were in Beep Me, not in Natter, and yours and billytea's got deleted for nattering in a no-natter zone.

Am-Chau, that wasn't Natter. But it was natter. That was in Beep Me, and billytea deleted his post, and DX deleted yours.
