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 "!"?

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

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

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

And Captain Spoilsalot saves the day!

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,
t BR , and links
  • More tags:
t BLOCKQUOTE t TT t SUB t SUP t CENTER
  • 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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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?

Is there a wish for a spellchecker for posts on that list somewhere? I am ne of the Buffistas worst spellers and would really love it!

So many ripostes, so little time.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was thinking that if Sophia is one of our worst spellers, we're in really, really good shape on that score.

See-- I'm horrible! (actually more of a bad typist, but still....)

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

Spellchecker is a pretty complex request, as a heads up.
