Hey guys. I know nothing about the actual workings of the board, but I have noticed that this quote

We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Gunn, 'There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb'

appears at least once every time I'm on the board. And I'm here fairly often, so I notice it a lot.

Just FYI. or something.

It's been noted, Vortex, and it appears to be something askew with the "random" feature of the random quotes. The current version of the database seems to like the very first entry in the database more than the others when you ask it to be random.

Note to self. Do not run online casino using this version of mySQL...

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

I dunno, the first entry in an on-line craps database would be snake-eyes, so the house would always win. :)

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

We could just make it so it rerolls when it comes up with that entry. Or use

Angelus: Oh, my cure? (finishes tearing it up) No, thanks. Been there, done that, and deja vu just isn't what it used to be.

if we can't cure it by hacking.

I seem to be experiencing a lot of deja vu myself in the Bureaucracy and Firefly threads. Perhaps the <clears throat> MARCIE FILTER would correct this technical problem?

Oh, dear.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Quick question - and I apologize if this came up before since I haven't gone through this thread in its entirety - I know there's a search function on the board, but it took me a long time to figure out how to get there, i.e. you substitute "index" in the home page url with "search", right? I was wondering, being such a lazy ass and all - is there any way we could put a "search" link on the left hand corner of the board, under "board how-to" or something? That way, it's right there for easy use.

The search function is not ready yet, in a technical sense, so it's not being publicised. It might move or change for instance. You'd better put a bookmark if you want to use it regularly.

It's still in beta, which is the reason it's not advertised yet. One of the things we want to do is keep people who aren't logged-in members from searching for posts.

Ooh, I didn't know that. That makes sense. Will bookmark it as suggested in the meantime. Thanks.
