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.
Basically, it's a 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.
Depending on how tall your browser window is, and where the post falls on the page, it may not do anything for you. For example, in my browser window right now, when I'm scrolled to the bottom, I see the last five posts. If an annoying post was the fifth-to-last post on a page, clicking skip wouldn't take me any further down the page since I'm already at the end.

and smooches to ita.
Natter 8 doesn't appear to be locked anymore.
Hokay. I've manually bumped all non zero under five refreshes to five, and changed the code.
I've laid the groundwork for archiving threads, plus changed the code to automatically display [closed] next to closed threads.
At the moment, if you have a posting box, you can post to a closed thread¹. So if it closes Tuesday,and you've had it open since Monday, you can post Wednesday. Jon, I'm thinking the simplest place to put an error message a la "Whoops too late" is in the space where the posting box would go, if someone tries it.
Could you make that pretty? Both words and appearance?
¹: I'm not sure if that's how Elena's husband got the last post in N8.

Beats me. I just had Charpe check, and there's no posting box. Maybe he really does have a deal with Cthulhu.
