Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It looks like that directory wasn't writable by the apache user. I changed the permissions of the directory. We'll see if that makes a difference.

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

Thanks, Tom. I thought I'd made it writable by everyone, but that might have been just the test setup.

I can't make the font size bigger or smaller in my posts. Is it just me?

Edited to say: Why yes, it was just me. Nothin' to see here.

Our wings are not tired

Jen, I'm seeing the different font sizes and styles in both of those posts.

Duh. It is just me. I had my browser set oddly. Thx. Sorry. Nebbermind.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I just feel the need to share. I'm currently sharing time on a "computer" built by toddlers out of ABC blocks, lego, and tinkertoys, and negotiating the net with a dialup that was hot shit in the Pleistocene era, or possibly even before. I'm practicing my meditation while pages and sites load, and getting a little dusty sitting and waiting.

Every place but this one. b.org loads like oiled silk, and I click from page to page and manage to forget, while I'm on the board, that otherwise I don't seem to be living in the 21st Century this week. To all the folk responsible for the Phoenix, my deepest appreciation and thanks.

Seconds on the kudos. I don't even bother with the rest of the internet other than my Yahoo mail and b.org on my work computer. Mad props to the mad skilz.

(I feel so street. Yo.)

This may be a B-cy question, but I noticed that when you click on some people's html links (Nilly's for example) a new browser page opens up, but if you use the html codes on the page with quick-edits you get a link that takes the clicker away from B.org (and why would anyone ever want to leave?). Can we modify the sample html code for links to open up a new page?

Wolfram, I'm just writing the line <a href="address" target="_blank">name</a> and the addition of target="_blank" instead of <a href="address">name</a> is what makes the link open a new browser page (or, at least, that's what I think does it - I'm actually embarrassingly HTML-ignorant).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Can we modify the sample html code for links to open up a new page?

It's simple enough to right-click and choose the option that opens a new window. I'd rather leave the auto-linky-code as is and give users the choice. Of course, if a poster hand-codes a link, they should be free to include the target attribute if they want.
