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.

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."

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

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.

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?

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

It looks okay to me, Megan.

Does it go away if you widen your window a skosh?

What you mean? You look good to me.

It looks fine to me too!

I had that, too, but all it needed was for me to widen the browser window.

My browser window is as big as I can get it. I guess I'll request a bigger monitor, or shorten the tag line.

looks better now. I thought maybe the board didn't like Avril Lavigne.
