Sophia, for your longer posts, you could write them using the AppleWorks word processor, spell-check them, and then paste them into the post box. It takes a bit more effort, but then at least you'll have a chance to catch the spelling errors. I'm a terrible typist myself, so I do miss the spellcheck, but I know what a programming nightmare it would be.

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
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?
Can I use Microsoft Foundation Classes? :) I only know some C++. I was just posting some lower expectations because I thought the coders might be thinking, "I would move Search out of beta, but I have to add the chronological sort and the snazzy search by thread function and it's a big job."

I only asked because I'd never heard of that particular progression from Beta to 1.0 to 2.0. I thought maybe you knew something I didn't. ;)
Seriously, the difference between "Search thread #__" and "Search [thread names dropbox]" is very small. I would be against including the former at all. Thread number is very user un-friendly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bingo! I just got CVS working.
Oy, they're lucky they're the only game in town.
Or maybe I should have read the docs first.
Anyhoo. I have to do a little more experimentation, and then we may be good to go.
Jon, I copied the current site code onto the test -- if you didn't grab the code beforehand, I have it.
Now, we have issues here. There's a repository, where the test code is controlled. This is good and necessary. But we need a testing methodology too.
Jon -- you up on CVS?
Who else do we have as volunteer coders?

I know nothing about CVS, except that's where I buy shaving cream and razor blades.

You might want to start reading. [link] is kinda overwhelming. One will need a client to access the server (http://wincvs.org), and here's a howto for the WinCVS client. Karl can give you login info.
I've already imported the files, and now I'm just trying to work through some more details.

I can test drive CVS for you, too, if you want. I'm all about CVS.

Should I be reading "the Cederqvist," then?
wincvs.org isn't resolving for me.

Nope. Not working either. I'll try again later. Maybe a problem with my nameserver.
