I don't have strong feelings, but I do kind of like it out of the way up there.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I thought it was just a small tweak to existing code from the Profile page. My bad.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Whoot! So, DX...will you be updating your archives? Can I help you? Because my connection's mindbogglingly slow, but a) you have been tremendously useful to me with the archives in the past and b) when I go out of town next week, I'm going to have access to a T1 line.
Yup, I guess I'll have to. I need to play with the new toy. Then we need to go back and take a look at the WX threads to see if we can gin up a better way of getting them.

Cool. I'll email you. Plus, when we hit the WX threads, I'm willing to do whatever the manpower sides (checking for losts posts) require, iffen we're able to get to that point achievably.

I have cable access and am currently sitting around all day waiting for the baby to decide it would have more room out than in. Is there anything I can do to help?
eta: You can tell me no. I won't cry. I promise.

Would someone please program a Deena -bot poster, so that when she leaves us to have that new baby (and during the busy-ness that the new baby is sure to bring), we can at least have a cheap and meaningless relationship with her double? t /marzipan in my pie plate
edited to ask a question that actually belongs here
This question belongs partly in Bureaucracy and partly here, but if the parts that belong here can't be done, there's no sense addressing the bureaucratic side of the issue, so here goes:
Is there any way to program the board to limit how long the edit/delete option is available? I remember WXing allowed edits for a half hour. And while I thought that was a bit too strict, I'm wondering about some sort of limit. It doesn't seem right to me that someone could come back days or weeks later and edit.

It doesn't seem right to me that someone could come back days or weeks later and edit.
That was considered a feature when we were discussing design early on. People didn't like the edit limit.

I think having no edit limit, but time-stamping the actual edits, as we do, is the ideal solution. You can't rewrite history without leaving a trace.
