I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

People who want multiple message center: we have that capability now. Simply get yourself a Yahoo or Hotmail address or other free email address different from the one with which you are currently regisitered. Create a new user name.Voila, new user name, new profile, new message center. Lather, rinse and repeat as needed.

Nope. That's more of a PITA, and throws things off if you want to post and then peeps have to keep track of you and things are confusing... Okay, also, somewhat squicked by the notion of multiple log-ins for anything but Sang Sacre stuff.

For the record, I'm sub'd to everything except the Atlantic Canada thread, (edit:) and don't unsub, as I don't use Read New, and mostly brought it up as a subtle "Topic! Topic!" thing. And, well, cause I thought it might be a neat feature.

When it gets to a certain hour, I just don't look at the relevant thread. Though I get a decent gauge of what kind of ep it is by how fast the new messages mount up. Or does this have to do with people clicking on Read New instead of just Message Center?

That's exactly it, Connie.

I get the impression that this feature is a "nice-to-have" but there are other v2.0 features that most folks would want more.

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

Could someone explain to me what the feature is exactly? Am I interpreting the need for 4 different message centre profiles for your average west coast poster who watches everything? I really don't see how (as a user) that would make my life any easier. I just went and unchecked two threads from my profile that I will recheck at 9pm Pacific, and I keep clicking Read New just like before.

The more I think about it, the more insanely complex it sounds, and therefore, falls under the category of featurebloat.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

The profile is easy to update. Maybe it would be even easier if the list of threads was separated into NAFDA and non-NAFDA.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Alibelle just posted the following in Natter:

(There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire...) Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife... You're not

Buffy, 'The Harvest'

This little upper right quote is missing a little piece. Who do I tell?

-----

That quote is 254 characters long. Methinks the field in the database has a 255 maximum size? The quote needs to be shortened or removed.

No ... it doesn't have a limit. There are longer quotes in there. I fixed it.

Damn! I was so sure.....

Maybe whoever gave the source to you was using software that had a field size limit? Maybe?

254 is very seductive, isn't it? I think that quote came from John. Want we should blame it on him?
