Radio buttons are like the ones that car radios use to have, with the preset stations. They were partly mechanical, so that only one could be pushed in (to select it) at a time.
Next I will explain to you why we "dial" the telephone.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Comes from car radios that used to have these plastic buttons along the bottom that you could program to individual stations. If one was pushed in, none of hte others would work. When you pushed in another button, the one that had been pushed in popped out. It means that only one at a time can be chosen, and you change it by clicking on one of the options.
Edit: Darn your fast fingers, Theo.

I'd be interested in multiple message centers, but not to the point of panicking if we didn't get them. I'd find subscribing/unsubscribing easier if there were 'select all' / 'deselect all' buttons, and could edit my sub list from that point onward.

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

ita! Could there, pretty please, be links to that absolutely fabulously wonderful search engine? Like, maybe in the threads and the message center? Pretty please, fabulous one?

Working on it, Alibelle, working on it.

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
I got a Fatal Error in the Great Write Way. (The fatal error message is very endearing, BTW.) Hit back and Next again and everything was fine. I had a page crash the other browser I had open at the same time, so I suspect it was related, but I figured I'd mention it.
Now that I think of it, in the future I should probably cut-and-paste the error message, huh? Sorry.
