Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Spam.

The thing is, I know it will remember other UserID's, because other Buffistas have used my computer on occasion to log into the board, and I can come back later in the day, open the browser, and be logged in as that person. (Not that I would ever change anyone's tagline or anything.)

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

I'd recommend what DX said. I don't have the code in front of me, so I can't tell you who it's choosing to remember, but who should it?

I just checked, and Remember Me isn't checked for Bob. Which is additionally odd, because I couldn't login as Bob, but when I reused the activation URL, I was able to get into Bob's profile. I sent an admin email to confirm the password.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Bob is such a troublemaker. Vampires.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Connie, I just reset Bob's password.

Thank you! And I just rebooted, and when I came here it knew who I was. I feel so loved.

It\'s not easy being green...

Heh. So I load up Mozilla this morning, and discover the system now remembers me as Phred.

But in my heart, you're still DX.

Not helpful, huh?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Something very odd is happening to the board today. When I go to the home page, everything shows up except for the table cell with the threads in it. I can see the right and left sidebars, and the maroon "Discussion Threads" bar...but no threads!

The Message Center, however, is working fine.

I'm running Win2K and IE6.

[eta: If I highlight within the big white space where the threads should be, I see the two rows of asterisks]
