Um, er: threadsussing is a joke, kinda.

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.

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
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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yikes. Save As HTML is evil. You can send it to me, and I'll run it through Dreamweaver's automatic Word cleanup.

Tables are still supported, huh? Lucky me. I'm sending a list of feature requests and another of requests I think we've implemented, so people can check it and say, "That's not done yet!" Insent.
