I just tried to get into Goodbye and Good Riddence and I got this error message:

502 Connection Failed. This Web page could not be opened. There may be too many people accessing this page or the page may be unavailable. Please try again later.

I went back to try again and it worked. Just thought I'd let you all know.

Daniel suggested I mention this here: The show quotes at the top of the pages, the ones that randomly refresh for each new click - at least for me, they have been coming up about 7:1 Firefly to Buffy.

Is it some weird statistical anomaly, or is it just how the selections in the database are skewed at the moment? Or is the board trying to educate me on how great Firefly is, seeing as I haven't seen it?

Windsparrow, it's that the database has a lot more Firefly quotes than the other shows, because Nilly supplied her entire list of Firefly quotes.

There are 1000 quotes in the system, and 720 of them are from Firefly. I forget who's currently in charge of collecting and formatting quotes for delivery to me -- if there is actually anyone -- but I haven't received any new ones despite the initial shock at the new distribution.

Aha, thanks, Consuela. Thought it might be something like that but I wasn't sure.

And thanks, too, Ita. Is the formatting to be done mostly grunt-work that would be easy to explain to someone with a very basic knowledge of html (i.e. me. eep, I think I just semi-volunteered) or is it something best done by someone who already knows enough about the running of this board to not need instructions?

Cuz I have been known to grunt.

Err....

Oy. Everything is my fault.

ita -- I tried to send you some about a month ago. Actually, I think I sent it to the stompies e-addy.

Does that not get to you? Or did I not format them correctly?

Not everything, Nilly - the sinking of the Titanic was all me.

Given that we're all deathmatched out at the moment, we could maybe figure out a way to take Nilly's list and winnow it down to, say, a top one hundred.

Does that not get to you?

I saw an e-mail from the 19th asking about formatting, which I thought I'd replied to, but no, I didn't see actual quotes.

Going back into the admin mailbox reminds me -- the FAQs probably need deep rehauls (beathen points out we know what happened to Miss Kitty Fantastico). I also remember this being discussed and even performed (though not put up) earlier -- am I making things up?

WS, the format is:

season #, episode # , "charactername", "quotation", "show initial (A, B, F)"

Please, please, please, NO double quotes inside quotations. It makes the baby Jesus cry, and tests my search and replace skillz.
