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.

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 "!"?

I am sooo trying to spoil myself figuring out what you're searching for. Anyway, just search it and then use Ctrl-F on the results.

Not a spoil. It's her fic, a take on Season Four with Vamp!Giles.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Changes made as suggested. The list now reads, in order from highest to lowest:
- CVS repository
- Move search out of beta
- Shorten long URLs
- Option not to show taglines
- Tag closer
- Ability to label bookmarks
- ENUF filter
- Searching user list by e-mail address
- Threadsuck
- Quickedits for tiny text,
- More tags:
- User set style: font, colour, etc (covers for visually impaired, dislike of fonts, size, and several others)
There are more at the lower levels, but that's approximately the top 50% of the list.

That list looks great Am-Chau, except for one thing - Does anyone really think "Option not to show taglines" should be that high? I would put it at least below Threadsuck.
Hmm - has "allow pictures" definitely been added to the todo list (even if low priority)?
I thought there was pretty strong consensus not to have pictures on the thread pages, but to maybe allow a picture on a user's profile page.
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]."
Are you coding this, Noumenon?
