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

The entire threadsuck is pink from John H "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Sep 23, 2002 6:41:32 pm EDT on, except for ita's tables. Fun.

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

John needs a spanking, stat.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Um, er: threadsussing is a joke, kinda.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I have to go fairly soon, though I will be back on this later (Thursday at the latest), but for anyone who's intrested, here's my list, made by skimming the (first half) of the thread:

Requests for improvements:

Threadsuck ability Search engine Quick-edit for small fonts A utility that lets you know what percentage of the board's posts were made by you

Just so you know, and can suggest corrections/additions/that I leave it to Nou.

DX mentions a "phase two wish list" in DXMachina "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Sep 18, 2002 1:41:28 pm EDT. Do you know where that was?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

It was back on WX. Though, when I nillyed it, all I found was the discussion on individual style sheets.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I really don't have time right now to look, but when we were first talking about the board ita posted a very nice phase 1 and 2 list, back on WX? Was there perhaps 2 Build Board threads at WX?

I found a feature list, at [link] It may not be the final version.

Up to 1399 on the feature requests. I'm doing my best to catch them all, but they tend to be one-liners in the middle of discussion posts. There have been a couple where subsequent discussion made me scroll back to catch them.

I made my feature list in a Word table that's 60 lines long. "Save as HTML" came out 1200 lines long, even without their class definitions. How can I convert this table to good HTML?

Yikes. Save As HTML is evil. You can send it to me, and I'll run it through Dreamweaver's automatic Word cleanup.
