Cool! The HTML worked. Now if Hec would only show up here so that I could bring him to Ellen's.....
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

See my edit above, ita.

If I only had a brain...
Something is going wrong with the code that parses links. See
Ouise "Natter: 2 Good 2 B 4 Gotten!" Oct 8, 2002 7:51:59 pm EDT
for an example. I think this only happens when the poster enters the <a href=""> manually.
[Testing: Does this mess up? Nope. Maybe this?]

Or maybe it's just me.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I think the problem was that I forgot to close the quotation marks around the URL the first two or three times I tried to get that post right. I didn't notice until I tried the type-everything-out-again method of fixing it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Implemented:
- No more 0 new
- Quote season and episode now in the header for the quotes that have them.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
On the archives, I've threadsucked everything that's in the attic, and I'll try to get most of it up to the archives page this weekend. I'm still bugged by the fact that the threadsucks are missing posts. It's a random thing, probably caused by that banner ad that WX puts at the bottom of random pages, but the upshot is that there are posts missing. I have an idea about how to improve the threadsuck program, but I didn't get a chance to mention it to John before he left on holiday.
As an alternative, I tried accessing the WX forums using the newsreader in Mozilla, and was able to download the Contingency Plan and Projects that way, but each forum is a single file containing all the posts in all the threads. I ran into a snag with that method, too, because it refuses to download NAFDA for me. I freely admit that I am a newbie when it comes to NNTP, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Why did the "0 new" go away? Did people not like it?
