I'll give it a try.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Hi, there's a wonderful new article by Gothic Miss Manners (posted in Press today) about etiquette on boards, and newbies and old-bies, and I thought it might make a good addition or link to the Buffista main FAQ. FYI.

DX and John, how much do I love that you guys are out here thinking of us and trying to fix problems that would never occur to me in advance. Lots, that's how much.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Just saw:
I'll nurse you back to health! I'll wear the nurse outfit!
Buffybot,
in the upper-right corner, with no episode attribution. (It's Intervention.)
[eta: Wasn't that also Buffy, pretending to be the Buffybot, at that point?]

Also (and how many times have we had to change this line?) the filk etiquette guide is out of date:
ANGEL: (Spoken) Hey, what about Mondays?
Should be Wednesdays, now.

John, the regex works too well in Homesite. It's also flagging the stuff inside the anchor tags, so there's way too much clutter on a search (even setting the length to 100 gave me 111 hits), and if I let it go ahead and replace, it'll break every link in the file. I had an idea though. I still have the text versions of the threads that I was using when I was compiling the stats the other day, so I can either try the regex on them, or I can dump them back into Excel, and sort on line length, which gives me what I need.

Kisses and hugs to all the stompies and various people doing work on this. Several posts up there are entirely nonsensical to me, but go y'all!
t edited becuase I decided it was all too much like bureaucracy crap that didnt' so much belong here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
A little detail nit: The text on the bookmarks.php page reads
To delete a bookmark, click on its checkbox and then OK.
But the button says "Delete", not "OK". Also, the code for the button doesn't have an alt attribute.
For the sake of consistency and usability, can we change the text to say "click on its checkbox and then Delete", and add alt="Delete" to that INPUT tag?

Heh. I was trying to clean out my bookmarks today, too.
Some day, far in the future, when there's nothing at all better to do (including lying down in fields of flowers) it would be nice if we could delete the book mark from the page where the post lives. You know, when you click mark and then months later, go to check out your bookmarks and click on the book mark, get to the page, and realize you don't need it bookmarked any more. If we could click on what now reads marked to unmark the post, it would be handy.
Or I could just be more reasonable in my bookmarking in the first place.
