OK, this is weird. I read the two posts above and thought to myself, "Self? When am I going to see that quote?" But then I looked up and there it was in its special little corner of the board.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is indeed weird.
You don't call yourself Jon?

It's the new "It's all about the coat"!

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Strangely, I call Jon "Self" as well.

Now who's the weird one?

And then there's Money by Martin Amis, in which the main character is called "John Self". And one of the other characters is called Martin Amis.

Hmm - has "allow pictures" definitely been added to the todo list (even if low priority)? Because if we allow images in posts, I think there will significant bandwidth and performance issues; this applies even to Stors and images that appear in every post by a user.
Images in the user profile, available only through the profile, would be harmless, I think.
I don't think the code will be especially tough. But when pictures move to a priority, I think someone should do a real cost/benefit calculation before defininitely deciding to allow WX style images - what I think of as visual tag lines.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Images in the user profile, available only through the profile, would be harmless, I think.
This would be my preferred option.

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
[link] With the thread id# where I have the ##.
In that case, I can take it off the list of things people want added.
Just replace it with "Move Search out of beta," as ita suggested. Adding a radio button for "Search thread #__" will probably happen between beta and 1.0, with 2.0 having "Search current thread" or "Search [thread names dropbox]."
"s" to be added to allowed tags, which ought to be a relatively quick fix
All the allowed tag requests seem like quick fixes, but I thought they should be deprioritized to keep the biggies in focus.

I just tried to do a search for the term V!Giles and got hits for every reference to Giles. Should I put quotes around it or can I not search for the "!"?
