Oh, and Amchau? I don't think PostgreSQL is unneeded.

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

Oops, sorry. Moved back to its former position, roughly.
User set style sheets have also been moved out of the "may not be needed" section. I like ita's idea of solving the storage and troubleshooting issues by having a small number of set style sheets. I'm wondering how many of the work-friendly, no-taglines, and for-the-visually-impaired versions of the board which have been requested could be accommodated that way.

Jon and DX wanted something more fine tuned that what I originally suggested, so we do need to hash out which side of the continuum is going to be implemented.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Rather than choosing among a set list of style sheets, maybe set up choices as a drop-down list for each element we want to allow control over?

t suggests Buffistas be offered a menu of 'skins' they can apply to the board
eta: Or, what Am-Chau said ... limited options.

Which is, uncoincidentally, my suggestion also.

What is even happening?
I still can't thread suck. I tried to threadsuck Natter 30 from post #5925 to post #7000, and the page acts like it has done the suck, when it's really just sucky. In other words, I get this:
Natter 30: Piss off, Bitches!

There are no posts. The part of the page that should have the posts is blank. It says "done" down in the status bar, and the page is not acting as if it is still loading or anything.

Cindy, I tried to threadsuck what you mentioned (Natter 30, posts 5925-7000) and it worked fine.

Thanks, Nilly. I will open a new browser window, clear the cache and try it again.

No go.
I wonder if something is going on, on my end. I had this same problem a week or two ago, but Tom Scola did something rock star-ish, and then the threadsuck worked. I do have a newish (month or two) firewall product and pop-up blocker, but so far, it hasn't interfered with anything but real pop-ups.

Cindy, I just did a threadsuck of the entire Natter 30 thread, and it worked fine. Also, I'm not seeing any error messages on the server like I did the previous time.
Unless someone else can confirm this, I'll have to assume that the problem is on your computer. Are you running out of memory? Do you have another browser installed that you can try? Are you using a dial-up connection? How long does it take before the "Done" message appears?
