it's all about presentation, and not about logic

Oh, but it was supposed to be! And, XHTML, and, and, my metaphor of CSS being like Han Solo riding to the rescue of Princess HTML...

No, seriously, all I meant was really that if you want to learn PHP, you should have a grounding in HTML first -- that's the order to learn them in.

Would it be possible (by which I mean convenient, since it's obviously possible) to make Press work like the non-sidebar threads when it's clicked on from the Message Center? Currently, unless there are unread messages in the thread, clicking on it only shows the most recent post, which is almost never the announcement I'm looking for. If the thread title for Press could work like "recent" instead of "last," it would save me an extra click. (And an extra pageview, which saves on bandwidth, right? Good for me, good for the board.)

It's a known issue, Jess. At present all the sidebar threads only show the last post while all the main threads do the "recent" thing. We definitely want the two sections to be consistant. Last time it was brought up, consensus was that all should only show the last post. The logic is that if you're caught up in a thread and click on the title, it's probably because you want to post something in it, not reread posts. So it makes more sense to not have to scroll down a bunch of posts to get to the text box. Plus it saves on bandwidth since there's less text to load.

Huh.

Can't seem to create a new thread, and we needs one.

What happens when you try?

It submits just fine, but it doesn't show up in the list at the end.

So you can repro the bug?

Jon, do you know if, say, someone having the thread maintainy screen open would cause this? Like if Victor still has the half-created thread window up?

I'll have a peek at the code. I did it manually.

Could it have been a bad reaction to the "-" in "X-treme"?

There's a "--" in Unamerican so I think not.
