aurelia, I can't seem to duplicate that land-rush thingy. What browser/OS are you on?
IE 5.2 for Mac. Now you're gonna scold me for not using something better, aren't you?
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
No. no scolding. I'm a little helpless on how to go about debugging for that combo, since I don't have any of it. Maybe one of the apple-oid Buffistas can recommend a different browser. I don't even know if you have to be OSX to use Safari ...

Trust my rage
I use Safari and Mozilla (aka Camino). Both work great for me in general (I notice less problems with Safari, but prefer Camino), but I'm not sure if either would fix your specific problem.

Don't feel helpless. I've actually found that bug to be amusing. I will try Safari if that'll make you feel better.
eta Safari is slow, but it works.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I can duplicate aurelia's issue with 5.2 for Mac OSX, and with 5.1 for OS9.
I also notice it basically sends all Buffistas on an outbound migration ever to the northwest.
First click, Northwest states, from the edge of North and South Dakota on.
Second click, almost everyone is in the state of Washington. Laura may be sitting on Mt. St Helens in Oregon.
Third click moves all Buffistas to the ocean off the Olympic Coast.
Fourth click moves the Buffistas far into the ocean, heading, presumably, for Siberia.
Fifth? Gone.....
Any further clicks have no visible effect, but finding a Fuffista produces a red blinking pin in the left top corner.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
How many quotations are in rotation for the RQG in the upper right hand corner?
I've been noticing a larger-than-usual number of repeats today. Some have popped up ten times.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
There used to be a bug where the first quote in the file would turn up like 40% of the time, but I haven't noticed it since we relaunched the RQG here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm not completely convinced that the quotes are random (yes, I know that technically they are not. eta - nothing in computers is). But the code that produces the quote is using the standard method to produce a random record in MySQL.

(aurelia: Google research shows that the solution to the problem is to use any other Mac browser. The problem you are experiencing has to do with a bug in IE that I cannot fix from here. Luckily, better browsers are available and free.)

Ah, the gentle chiding instead of a scolding. Thank you Gus. I have no such problem with Safari so I'll only use IE if I feel like watching the Buffistas flee across the map.
