major structural recoding
No big deal, just a thought.
And, am I seeing new quotes turn up or am I just dreaming that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jengod sent me over a hundred new quotes which have been massaged and entered (porn!) for your viewing delight.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
How wonderful and beautiful, new quotes!
I just want to add that on *this* computer, when I dial up and ask IE (5, on Mac OS 9.2) to go to read_new.php, it takes me to a thread; but on the other computer (IE 5.5 I think, on 10.1.4) it takes me to the home page regardless of whether I type in message_center.php or read_new.php or index.php. Both times it recognizes me as Rebecca, but it doesn't take me to the same place.
If that's at all helpful.

OK, am I the very first person to get a fatal error message? If yes, do I get some sort of prize?
(It was while trying to post a message. I wasn't able to recreate it).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Sorry, Fiona, not the first. I've gotten it a couple of times while posting, as have others.

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
I love it ,too. My only quibble with read new is that I wish it would stay in a thread until you've read all the posts in the thread, rather than jumping around each time you click. But then I suppose it wouldn't actually be Read New. :)
I support the current behavior because it lets you slog through one thread with Next, or keep abreast of the flow of Natter with Read New. But I usually read when Natter is not flowing fast.
What is it about the word "one" that made it disappear when it was "between" the <>s?
Which reminds me, I have a suggestion: how about categorised threads on the front page, non-categorised threads in the Message Center?
Seems logical. Categories help newbies get a mental map of the board, and help you if you decide to just go to the show-specific threads today. When you check for new messages, then you want the newest listed first.
And the real thing that brought me to the thread: the t center tags got stripped out of Noumenon "The Quotable Angel: Can I say it? I wanna say it." Sep 22, 2002 8:04:15 am EDT. Is that one of the dangerous tags?

JohnH, if you can get GetWX to work on Phoenix, that would be great. I think on a big new project like this, you never really know if there's a Groundhog Day lurking in the works. Threads with important things in them, like Buffy 1 after Tuesday, it would be nice to threadsuck them just in case. Or maybe there are backups on the server.

We don't need one of those here, Nou. I can pull stuff straight from the DB.

After the first 5 days, I'm still in love. The category thing would be nice, but not essential. I miss spell check, but you'll all just have to live with my typos.

Moving the recs discussion over here -- it would be possible to adapt the link code to do recommendations reasonably easily.
The current link setup is that anyone can add a link, and delete/edit links they've added. Admins can delete/edit all links and create categories.
Is there anything much different that would be needed for fic recs?
