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

The subscribe link request is on the list already.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

RL, how would you feel about a modified version of jengod's first proposal -- say, if you weren't automatically unsubbed from the old thread but had to do the housecleaning yourself if you wanted, and you had to click on the Special Magic Link to get subbed to the new one (Note that I have no idea if such a link is even possible) rather than going straight through to it?

I'd love to be able to sub to new threads without having to go through the home page and then my profile, especially since I never even look at the home page but use the message center instead, and I only change my profile every few weeks.

And a much more do-able request wrt new threads -- can we reverse the order of the threads in the profile page so that new threads appear at the top of the page rather than the bottom? Now that the complete thread list is several screens long, it's getting to be more of a pain to get to the right checkbox.

Hmm. I like it that way, since I have to be down there to click the button anyway. I just scoot to the end of the screen, check, click, move on. Otherwise you have to stop midway down the screen, and then again at the bottom.

This makes sense to me.

No -- content is deleted when a post is deleted. Gone, bye bye, forever.

I stand corrected! (guess I oughta take a better look at the code, eh?)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

On Monday we hit 700; now I'm seeing 722. What are we up to now, and does this mean that celeb posts mean an almost exponential increase in registration ("and they told two friends, and they told two friends...")?

722 userids are out there but admin is user #1 and a few folks have multiple IDs for Sang Sacre.

If I only had a brain...

I just put stuff in brackets when I edit it in. Saves typing.

hip deep in pie

Is it possible to force text to wrap when people do those insanely long hyphenated compound words? It's crazy making on a good day, but when I've threadsucked a several hundred posts and they're all bleeding off the screen, I really get cranky (and a little nauseous).

I thought it was just my low screen resolution at home, but it was still happening at school when I was reading a monitor with a much higher resolution.

It's browser dependent, Sue. Try IE.
