I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

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

Problem with that is that you need to take the user information with you. Which gets all tangled and complex.

As for not saving the records -- I think that should be fine.

As a first stab, we could just move them to another table -- that should help.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ick. That's true. Better this way. And moving them to a new table first will serve as proof of concept. Nothing goes wonky, it's good. Plus, hopefully immediate benefit, anyway.

What needs to be done with search? Anything that can be parceled out? Not that I actually know, like, the code. But I could learn. Though not this week. Not actually helpful, I am.

My suggestions for speccing it out here: ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Mar 2, 2003 4:08:27 pm EST were not commented on, so really, that's the task at hand which doesn't break down usefully.

Maybe Sunday, but I doubt it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, okay. Oh well. I wasn't nagging, really, I promise, see above rant. Anyway, the specs look good. In addition to sorting by date, etc., will it also be possible to limit to ranges?

What do you mean by "limit to ranges"?

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

Huh. I'm getting the icon now. I wasn't getting it the other day and I don't know when it decided to appear, but there it is! Mozilla 1.2.1.

I added to the header which might make it show up in more places. Not in mine, Opera nor IE5.

Yup, it started working for me this morning, too. Cool beans.

DX, when you come through -- have you sucked and zipped?

Not yet, but I'm back home now, so I'll work on it this weekend.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Sorry, I finally did go to sleep. I meant, in addition to sorting by date, etc., would we be able to search just for posts between 3/1/3 and 3/12/3 or the like?

Good point. I'll have to mull the complexity of the implementation.

There is an error in the FAQ. One of the answers to the question "How many Buffistas does it take to change a lightbulb" is wrong. It currently reads:

A. And another to set up the threads, "The Lantern, the Torch, and their Lampshades," "Bulbista Bureaucracy," and "Torchiere!"

but it should be:

A. And another to set up the threads, "The Lantern, the Torch, and their Lampshades," "Bulbista Bureaucracy," and "Torchiere&Halojen4EVAH!"

It's possible the original FAQ page tried to interpret the &Halojen as an entity and failed, so that's why it went missing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I must be feeling a little silly this morning, because Torchiere! is making me laugh like a drain!
