Stompy question.
Could someone tell me how many words/characters a single posting box holds before it continues to another?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Kristin, from Gus "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Oct 20, 2004 3:39:27 pm PDT it seems like 4000 characters a post.
It used to be 6000 before Gus' correction, but he wanted to allow editing, so he left 2000 characters "empty" for that option.

Thanks, Nilly!
ETA: Oops...one more question. Is it possible to use two different HTML commands for a section of text? For example, I'd like to post something that is quoted using that little quick edit we have for quoting, but I need to italicize a couple of things within the quote. Can I do that?

Hey. New board.
Yep, Kristin. Just do something like

It was good while it lasted. I guess my lone little post kept it alive a little bit longer.

What's the current status of the DCista mailing list? Is it still the yahoo one, or has it moved over to being one of the b.org ones?

I doubt there's anything that can be done about it, but I'm a little amused at how our code-tidying code can't tell the difference between a t b tag and a t br tag, and when I post poems or song lyrics or things that require a lot of t br tags, it goes around unbolding my line breaks.
Not a problem, obviously. Just an observation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gus has already fixed that in his lab. (See "tidy" conversation above).
I just haven't had a chance to install it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Is the code tidying operating? Because if it is, it's been missing stuff.
