The reasons for most recent are lost in the mists of time. I do remember it being discussed, but I'll be damned if I recall justification either way.
You need to learn to read faster, dude.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Harumph. I'm reading plenty fast. We wanted a board kicked up to turbo, an' that's what we got.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fiona, when you register or go to your profile page to change a tagline, it says to avoid spoilery taglines for the sake of UnAmericans.
I don't think that's what Fiona's getting at, actually. If someone's tagline is "Here we are now, entertain us," that's not spoilery, per se, but when it airs, she's thinking, "Hey! That was a tagline..who's was it? Huh..." rather than just thinking about watching the show.
If I read Fiona's post right.

Yeah, I'm getting the "not every 0 count topic at the bottom of the Message Center" thing sometimes. It maybe my browser (Opera) not refreshing completely... I will test this theory out in another browser.

Jesse got it exactly right. Sorry if my post wasn't very clear. I realise that people are asked to avoid spoilery taglines, but they still quote (non-spoilery) lines from the shows, which I can totally understand, 'cos they're usually really good lines. But when I watch the show weeks after you guys, every other good line is an, "oh, that was so-and-so's tag! And that was such-and-such's!" Which tends to rip you right out of the show besides killing much of the Good Line Enjoyment.
Last year I just got around the whole issue by turning off the taglines.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Maybe if, instead of threads saying "67 messages, 0 new" or whatever, it could just say "67 messages" if there aren't any new ones, the way it was at WX (and, I think, TT). That way, to find threads with new posts, you can just quickly read through the thread list for the word "new."

No -- it just means that those posts are unread, but older than read posts in other threads.

anyone know why there a big space between my name and my tagline?
