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.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

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

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!

Okay, Natters 1 - 5 are sucked, zipped, and up on the Archives page. I probably won't get to the rest today, but does are done if you want to do some experiments.

DX is a funny man.
I fixed it.
