The difference is that the threadsuck functions are add-ons. They don't affect any existing functions. And if they work, we can go ahread and start archiving old threads. It'll work without the UI.

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

But I think that part of the threadsuck should be part of existing functions -- I'm not just reviewing to see it works, but to see how it fits.

So I need to test my hunch, and I'd rather have all the code before I do it.

True - it could definitely be rewritten that way. But did you see how my code works? The UI just generates a URL - suckedthread.php with some parameters following. I'm saying I could give you the code so that when you type in a specific URL you get the threadsuck you want.

I appreciate the offer, but I work better with the lump of code. Really.

Okeley Dokeley. You do this professionally, not me, so I do not doubt you. Just wanted to make sure you understood what I meant.

t Columbo Just one more question... t /Columbo

Before I try and decipher this CVS thing - Does it provide me with a test PHP environment? Do I have a unique subdomain that I play with? Or am I expected to set up PHP on my PC and test here? Or do I use the old test buffistas.org playground?

Jon, I'm still working that out. CVS does not provide a playground (unless I work out how to load it on buffistas.org). But it does provide a potential mechanism to stop people from stepping on each other's toes.

Ideally, it should be on the web server. I'm still looking into that.

So can I use test in the meantime if I promise not to change any existing code? Just add functions to the classes. I could even create my own class if you prefer.

Adding functions should be okay. Yeah, that's okay.

Groovy. Thanks.
