Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

and some other stuff. Like, perhaps, searching under 4 letters

and.. reverse chronological sort? and, and.. displaying the source thread?

whaa-a-a-a-aat? sorry, it slipped out.

I meant to say, Yay ita! It's wonderous! :)

Julie, you do know that we're obsessive about segregating the spoilers in their proper threads, right?

Yep. And I *heart* the Buffista Island and all who sail upon her, for it.

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

ita, it was very thoughtful of you to make an option that only searches our subscribed threads. It keeps you from getting spoiled.

Actually, a pretty efficient way of searching for ita would be to search for "Krav"!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you ita. For some reason I didn't think of using that to search for a person.

In future generations, would it be possible to make it so that only logged-in Buffistas could use the search engine? It's kind of fun, if self-conscious-making, to be able to see every message I've ever posted. But it wouldn't be fun if, say, my little sister could do that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Approx. 9:30 ET could not make a connection.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What msbelle said. Only more like 9:45 ET for me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In future generations, would it be possible to make it so that only logged-in Buffistas could use the search engine?

Works well enough for me that it's hidden. I like that part.

There's another little hidden feature I use. Instead of bookmarking the Message Center, and then clicking on the new messages it finds, I bookmarked [link] and it takes me straight to the messages. Duplicates a W/X functionality I liked with no sweat for ita.

Yup. I love that function.
