Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

ita, very helpful to convert the post numbers to links. Did you do it with Search and Replace? Looks like the converter changed HTML tags into... HTML tags -- nice bug feature. I sent the "Not Implemented" Word doc to Am-Chau for future editing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Good table. That makes it a lot clearer.

Hee. Post 780 has fallen foul of the great Scourge of Tags. FTR, I was in favour of t sup and t sub being enabled.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Man, I started celebrating it way too early then. Drink up, people, I'm three months ahead of you.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Implemented:

377 - John H - Shorten screen-stretching URLs
WX - ThreadSuck capability

I didn't think either of these was implemented yet. I never heard anything about the former being done. ThreadSuck's been written, but not implemented (unless you're talking about changing the number of posts displayed as a pseudo-suck).

Unimplemented:

511 and 776 are the same thing. 2009 is missing the tag. It should be "Add quickedit code for <br>

You know what confused me on 511, was that Dana asked for description on the "boomkark" feature and I didn't figure it out her meaning until later. Doesn't the thread-stretching work? I thought I saw one wrapping today. Edit: I must've seen one wrapping at a question mark in a URL.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

re. 780:

Support t BLOCKQUOTE tag (echoed by Liese S. Rebecca Lizard wants t TT too, billytea wants t SUP and t SUB, Noumenon wants t CENTER).

I'm not sure if this is what billytea, as I am tired and I don't entirely understand his post; but blockquote & tt have been implemented; but not sup or sub or center yet.

... Might we ever get t s ever if it's possible? I'm so goddamn lazy I sulk every time I have to type t strike full out.

Just to say: table recieved, I'll keep an eye this thread (as I'm doing anyway) for people commenting about changes to be made to it/things to be added/what order they should be in.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

By the way - on larger fonts? That actually was sort of implemented. I've always set things for fairly large fonts. But prior to the style sheet change - settings that worked for everything else were too small in our Buffista board. A setting that made the Buffista board acceptable made everything else too large. Since the changes to the style sheet were made. (I forget exactly what, but some font defaults were removed) the Buffista compose box is the same as everywhere else in my browser. In short, for me, you fixed it just by making the style sheet less rigid.
