Yeah, sadly, getting rid of the error messages for the moment made the urgency feel like it went away. Doh.

Yeah, I just paid for November so it reminded me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So, does the amount we are sending back to FG include payment for November? If it doesn't, it should.

Thanks for all the fish.

This may be a silly question, but I notice that when I go to change my profile it lists all of the threads that we've had (under subscriptions). Does this make a difference in terms of our database? Should it be pruned?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You mean you're still subbed to closed threads? It has come up, and they said it was better to remove those subscriptions.


Elena - Nov 07, 2003 3:26:54 pm PST #6008 of 10000
Thanks for all the fish.

No, I'm not subbed to them, but they are still listed in the list of threads you can be subbed to. If that makes any sense.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No, I'm not subbed to them, but they are still listed in the list of threads you can be subbed to.

Yep, makes sense. The list you're seeing does include a bunch of older threads, but not all of them -- if you look closely, for instance, you should see that the oldest Natter thread there is #10. They disappear from that list as they get archived and removed from the site.

Thanks for all the fish.

Ah, I see. Okay.

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

It is possible to be subbed, practically speaking, to closed threads, because it's not good to yank natter #319 out of your reading list just because you missed a day and we're on natter 372.

Archived threads, though -- those are gone off all lists.

It's better to unsub from closed threads once you're done reading them, because the searching for "read new" will be quicker that way. But it's not something we can automate.

If I only had a brain...

I can't see Natter or Bitches. The other threads show up. Is anybody else having this problem?
