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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Huh.
Can't seem to create a new thread, and we needs one.

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I am suddenly unable to log in using Netscape 6.2.3. This just started last night. IE 6.0 SP1 works fine. Tried clearing cache & cookies, like the good tech support geek I am. Next, I'll try reinstalling it, unless anyone has any other ideas.
EDIT: It gives me the wonderful login page, but doesn't actually, um, log me in.
