Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Sorry DX... :( I didn't mean to break the board.
ETA: Does this count as a trip into the guac?
Nah, no guac. It was just kind of a weird thing that had never come up before, because fake tags are supposed to be stripped out by the system. I was just surprised that the system interpreted your fake tag as <I>, ignoring the rest of what was inside the brackets.

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

Actually, I'm suprised that it hasn't come up before -- it's normal for browsers to take only the first "word" in a tag if they can't understand what comes afterwards, and <I> is an allowed tag.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Just now, trying to post in Bureaucracy:
There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.
Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?
Also, the board's been slow all day.

Maybe the Phoenix Board itself is as worn out by Bureaucracy as I?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's forshadowing. Someone in Bureaucracy will die in the season finale.

Hey. New board.
This may have been mentioned before, and I apologize if it has, but I have a suggestion.
Twice since I started posting (which was yesterday) I've been burned by the ignoring single line breaks, though I typically like it. I can do the whole t br thing, of course, but I'd much rather have a quick-edit thing. Something like '1' maybe. This way, if i want to make a list of things I hate, I could type:
1 Fox
1 The guy at Fox that cancelled Wonderfalls
1 The Nielsen rating system
1 The people that watch <i>The Swan</i>And get back:
Fox
The guy at Fox that cancelled Wonderfalls
The Nielsen rating system
The people that watch The Swan

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
If you want to make a list, you can use the * quickedit. That will put a bullet at the start of the line.

I'm thinking, a propos of the convo in Bureaucracy right now, could we maybe find a way to make a page of registered users with links to their profiles?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I second 'Suela's notion, with enough fervor to do the coding, if required.
