Another thing to add to the to-do list; adding a mode for folks with impaired vision. Looks pretty easy to do.

You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

I'm a bit confused about that one.
Don't people with those kind of disabilities use the "use my stylesheet, ignore their stylesheet" option available in most browsers nowadays?
I can have everything bright yellow on black in huge fonts in about thirty seconds by using that option.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
This is just a silly question.
I know I can't search for ita or Kat in the search engine, and maybe they would like to remain shiftily unavailable like that, but I was wondering if maybe be possible to search for people by user *number*? Like, I know I'm 61, John is 97, ita is 2. I don't know how the search-for-user thing *works*, but if it's something that might be easy to do, it's an idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
RL, you can search for all posts by me -- the user name field works differently from the contents field.

Oh!
OK.
Never mind.

Proposal for the FAQ: Which Buffistas have become words in their own right?
Meara and Nilly have become verbs, I think "the Anya" of something is a noun meaning the snarky recap, whether done by Anya or not. Is [Jeff] Meija a word?
I'm sure I've forgotten a lot more.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Meija's a word, too. Meija, Nilly and Meara are both nouns and verbs.
John H - Dec 22, 2002 8:36:09 pm PST #2229 of 10000
Well then I propose that all those get into the FAQ so that new people will be less confused by posts saying "Can someone Nilly me the Anya of LOTR:FOTR?" or whatever.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Some of that is already in the "Famous Citizens" section.
As always, if someone writes it up, and there's consensus, I'll stick it in.

OK, I'd like some feedback for threadsuck functionality. My feeling is that we should target threadsucking for offline reading and archival purposes. To that end, the sucked thread layout should be fairly stripped-down, including stripping out all the board-generated links (any links within posts would of course still be included). Here's a sample sucked thread.
Two questions:
1. General comments on the layout?
2. Assuming we put a "Threadsuck all" and/or a "Threadsuck new" link on these "showthread.php" pages (i.e. the pages that contain posts), should the Threadsuck update the thread as "read" for the user? I've been going back and forth on this.
