OK, for the MARCIE filter, I had spec'ed out a revised editprofile page, but not the showthread page. At the time, Paul told me he didn't need the latter because the changes were pretty clear from the convo here. However, since it's been awhile, I whipped something up and emailed sample html for both pages over to Rob.

OK. If usability's a concern, I can give it the ol' hairy eyeball over the weekend.
(By the way, OmniGraffle RAWKS for sitemapping.)

(Incidentally, I would be happy if Michele gave it the once over. She's the usability queen.)

Just a curiousity, but why are there three rows of white-fonted asterisks after the "Read New/Message Center" etc. links after the last post? I happened to hit my mouse button while headed for Read New in a thread and spotted them. They're here, too, and I'm just curious.
If they're part of the secret world domination plan, then just forget I asked and don't send the Ninja Robot Zombies to my house.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I think they're used to format the page correctly. I do know they're hidden, normally.

Buffistas: dominating the world through asterisks.
It's for spacing. For the pretty.

They're a secret little design hack -- helps maintain the width of the main column at a persistent size. There's surely a more elegant way to do it, but think of the asterisks as our own site Easter Egg -- a nice surprise hidden away for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle, it's possible for them to work separately, although bits of Rob's work may have to be redone if he finishes first. I'm setting up a test environment for tommyrot this weekend.

The asterisks were my idea. I think it was a Netscape 4.x issue that they helped fix.
