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

My bookmarks are frelled, too. In fact, a couple are blank.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've now got three bookmarks that are things I actually marked, and two that are blank. I think I had about 8 posts marked. But, I don't really mind, since I can't remember what they were. The only things I remember marking are the things that are still there.

Thrive to spite them

I lost all but 2 bookmarks in the crash, I know one was the last thing I bookmarked but I have no idea if the other was the second to last thing I bookmarked.

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

There will be bookmarks that don't work, if they link to anything in the archived Natters. The rest -- I don't know. There is the theoretical option of restoring what I had by April 4th, but there might be integrity issues.

PaulJ -- note to remember -- Jon has done all the interface changes. Like ALL. I've not decided on a bit of visible HTML -- so he'll be an integral part of any modification.

Oh. Never thought of that. That's actually kind of a nasty surprise if you've been saving those bookmarks.

Also, I was able to get into the ftp, so the zip files for Natters 6 - 8 are now up.

It is a nasty surprise, but I thought it was more important to make the make the annoyingly corruptible posts table smaller than to wait for me to get time to write the redirect code.

Which will come ... soon.

# one click in-thread to block a user

# one click in-thread to reveal a single post of a blocked user

# a section in the "set profile" page where you can take people off your MARCIE list.

This sounds fabulous, but really? Whatever is easiest to implement will float my boat, y'all. :)

Well for the time being, maybe we can put a quick announcement in Press when a thread is about to be archived so that people can capture any bookmarks thay may have.

Not just the bookmarks, but any extant links in other threads.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

than to wait for me to get time to write the redirect code.

Which will come ... soon.

Maybe we could take some pressure off by moving the redirect code down the priority list. No one's missed Natter 1-6 yet, and if they do, we can easily help people with broken links. "thread_id=43? That's Natter V. Natter." Then they can search it up on the archive.
