I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But it CAN allow buffistas to share their love of you!

Money can facilitate you love.

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

Money can facilitate you love.

But that's only legal in a couple of states.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just got this error when refreshing Message Center:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/classes/thread.php on line 281

I refreshed again and it was fine.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Should the post-splitter (for posts longer than 4K) [A] mark the sub-posts as read and take the author to the last post of the entry, or [B] should it leave the author at the first post?

If we use [A], there is some small chance that another poster might make an entry on the thread that could be posted "between" two sections of the long post, so the author of the long post might miss something someone else said.

The [B] scenario may not seem intuitive.

I like [B] better, actually. It doesn't seem counterintuitive because normally you get reset to the beginning of your post, and a multipost is just a really long post.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I think leave the author at the first post. When you go back to a thread in which you were the last poster the last time you read it (I don't know how to say that better) the first post shown is always your post.

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

It depends how you look at it. You also get reset to the end of your post, and a multipost is just a really long post.

What is even happening?

I like B.

Don't we usually get reset to the post above our own most recent posts?

I wanted to say yes to both and wondered how it could be, but then I remembered: Cindy's right about where the thread page begins, and ita's right about where you are on the page.
