Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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

You also get reset to the end of your post, and a multipost is just a really long post.

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.

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

Yes. But when you post just one post, that's one post above the next post.

When your post gets broken into 30, that's a few pages away from the next post.

I want to make sure everyone's aware that they won't just be reading one of their posts, as we are accustomed, but a potentially large number of posts lie between them and the end of the thread.

What is even happening?

If one of my long posts got split into bunches of posts, I'd want to come back to the beginning of the whole slew, to see all those errors which hide while I'm checking it over, and then leap at me, only after the post has been submitted.

Well, when you put it that way...

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

ita, Those changes are in.

postProcess.php and post.php have been altered. I didn't move tagpairs. Whatever you want to do about that could be applied to the arrays in _quickedit(), as well, I reckon.

When I logged in this evening, I had to actually log in, as if my cookies were gone. I figured it was just me, since we've been running mondo anti-virus checks on my machine. But Deb is also reporting the same problem.

FYI, one of my current favorite sites: [link] has been under internet attack and, ironically, is singing the praises of an old "friend" today:

Staving off yesterday's attack was relatively easy. For $150, I upped my server capacity by adding an additional Pentium 4 with lots of bells and whistles. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve too. I must say the hosting company I am using, HostRocket has been fantastic. I burned through half a dozen web hosting companies before finding them. The others all promised the moon in their ads but the promised service vanished instantly as soon as they got paid. Hostrocket is a big company, with tens of thousands of customers, many of them large companies, and the technical staff is knowledgeable and very oriented towards helping the customers. They have done a wonderful job dealing with this attack. If you need a web hosting company for your business where reliability and customer service are top priorities, I recommend them very highly.

I saw that too, Wolfram. I suspect that he is using a dedicated server with them. Our problems arose because we were using a shared server. We could have switched to a dedicated server with HR, but they were more expensive than iStrada, our current provider, IIRC.

I guess I was amazed by the whole "oriented towards helping the customers" description. Because if I remember correctly, NSM. Unless, apparently, you're a big spender.

I think we went from HostRockit to FanGeek, and only then to iStrada.
