You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
How do I search for how many times I've posted?
You can find that by going here and searching for posts with your user name. (You've made 2866 posts so far.)
Edit: xpost

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thank you, wise ones.

Randomly, my delete or backspace key has stopped working in the posting box. If I resize my browser window, it usually works again. Usually this is accompainied by a flicking of the posting box.

Sounds like a browser issue. Have you tried going to other websites with text boxes and seeing what happens there?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'd really like to know why it's not being very random.
Is it possible that there's no lower limit to the randomization? What I mean by that is that I once set up a random number generator that generated values from 0 to MAX, then forgot and numbered my records from 10 to MAX, with the result that record 10 got selected a lot more than any of the others, because it would show up for values of 1 - 9, as well as 10.
I don't think Mickie looks suspicious. They're user number 390, for one thing.
Yeah, Mickie was one of the very first newbies that signed on when Joss first showed up, although she's only posted twice, and only in TTT.
edit: Whoa, speaking of record numbers...

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

Thing is, I think there's only been two different amounts of quotes. Of course, we can't pinpoint the date of stickiness, but I lean towards maybe a MySQL upgrade that changed an algorithm that's peeing in our ointment.

One approach that would help work around the problem is to keep a list of all the quote numbers, and when serving up a random one, remove it. When the list is empty, refill it from original list. That way, each quote only gets served up once per cycle.
A similar approach might be to create a table of the quote indexes repeated one thousand times and just march through it. That will look random to any single viewer.
Or, you know, live with it as it is.

Would it be possible to, when a post has been bookmarked, where it says MARKED, have a little link right there that would allow you to un-mark it without going to your "view bookmarks" page?

Someone I know is looking for the name of a good webhost. We use HostRocket? We like HostRocket?
