No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

They are now. There was a problem with a link in erika's post. It's fixed.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

On the message center refresh, the message is showing MIN_RELOAD_TIME text instead of the actual minimum number.

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

Thanks for the heads up.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Stupid lo-pri question: how hard would it be to put a live link back to the message center at the end of every threadsuck?

Not hard at all. But I'd think the front page a better bet than the message centre, no?

Either way. Just a link back somewhere.

It's a static change, should be no big.

What brought it to mind?

I'm threadsucking daily again, what with being dark during the day, and I'm lazy.

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

You could even include the whole Read New-Message Center-First-Last-Recent toolbar at the bottom.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I designed the threadsucked page with the idea that it could be read offline. As such, it has no links back to the board. I kind of like it that way, aesthetically speaking, but otherwise have no strong objections to adding a link back to the front page.

One note: the link should be an absolute reference, not a relative one.
