Actually, I had an idea during the blackout, while reading the posts at WX (I didn't get in because I didn't want to register for Yet Another Board, and also because I was planning to take a break anyway... and see where I am now): a "Skip" link above each post, close to the "Mark", number, etc. ones. This would make it easier for people to easily skip to the next post, if they see that the current one is written be someone they have... erm, issues with.
Basically, it's a
t A NAME
HTML link, taking you right to the next post. I think it could be a middle ground between the current setup and a full-fledged MARCIE, which some might consider too agressive.
Wait a minute, wasn't there something about now talking about policy until Monday...? Whoops.
I think it might be massively easier, Paul, on headache and on bandwidth, if people could just scroll.
Yes, but that's already an option now, and apparently it's not enough, judging from the petitions for MARCIE.
What I meant wouldn't take bandwidth at all, because they would be relative links: in HTML, the
t A NAME
links just take you to another point in the page that you have already downloaded.
Oh, I get it! Yes. I didn't understand, I thought you had meant loading a new page.
God, this cold medicine is the good shit....
ita! You rocking goddess you!
Question... how much of a drain on resources is threadsuck? More or less than regular page views?
Are there optimal settings we should have so as not to make it go kerblewy again?
Could someone threadsuck then archive, maybe in batches of 1000 posts in an html format, the closed threads?
Has WX been closed again?
Not the main forum, but everything else.
And I'm working on prepping the infrastructure for the removal of mucho posts.
ita,
Heh. maybe I should leave that pic up on WX as the last natter post (for now) on WX.
Daniel, when I hit that link it gave me your WX identity. You might want to go back in and take out the text between the @@ signs so it won't do that anymore.
