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.

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.

Try IE.

Grrr...I do that for threadsucking at home, but they've totally disabled IE at work.

(edit: That "grrr" was for IE , not you, Jon.)

Actually, that was lousy advice. I would never suggest that someone switch to a product of the Evil Empire. As a stompy, I try to fix long hyphenations when I see 'em, and I know that others do so as well. So if you see one, let us know!

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

It's browser dependent, Sue. Try IE.

What if we don't want to use IE? I'm with Sue. It's a colossal pain in the ass when you're trying to catch up.

edit: saw Jon's subsequent post, calming down now.
