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

I'll have a check for that, msbelle, when I go through the deletions and corrections that Lee sent.

Expect doubled post numbers for posts that aren't nearly simultaneous.

Fixy thing.

I've had a stab at all the outstanding changes that received support and no contention that I can with details at hand.

I fear this burst of programmatic power may wane, so if there's anything to lobby/provide more specs for, sooner is better than later.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I know I saw that, and I think I put it on the deletion list.

looks at version of list which is saved on harddrive

Right. Um. High on my personal priorities list would be "ability to label bookmarks"-- does that need more detailed specs, or something else?

And beyond that, to invite discussion of some other things-- what in the 'pesonalise board layout/font/colour' range would actually be useful and practical, for example. And to ask the named individuals who've requested some things to exand/spec out-- eg. Ouise and Sophia Brooks' problem with t br , Allyson's request about putting preferred charities on Buffista links, etc.

Or there are some seemingly 'minor' ones, like "enforce no posting after the thread has reached 10,000 posts", "fix the missing first post issue" which would be worth doing; or the programmatic interface for submitting to Quote Generator, which is probably (and I'm guessing here) more work, but would cut down on other kinds of work, so... would you need more specs for that?

Bookmarks.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Definately labeling bookmarks

Labeled bookmarks would be very nice. The other thing on my personal list is making it so if you mark a post or if you click on a link in a post, when you go back, you go back to the same spot and not the top of the page.

Deena, that's one of the things ita has changed, at least for 'mark'-- the return to page behaviour matches that from the 'edit' function. Doing the same when you click on a link in a post is, I think, not so easy, as it's not a board function in the same way.

Bookmark descriptions have already been advocated for -- I'm wondering which of the rest are still wanted/needed.

The other thing on my personal list is making it so if you mark a post or if you click on a link in a post, when you go back, you go back to the same spot and not the top of the page.

One of those is out of our control (clicking on a link in a post and returning), and the other is already done (well, the page reloads with the marked post at the top).

Allyson's request about putting preferred charities on Buffista links

This may be a non-request -- or a request to add a charity-related link category.

I know. My point is that we might need to ask Allyson which of those it is.

I'm wondering which of the rest are still wanted/needed.

I hesistate to suggest this, but would it be worth sticking the remaining things on the list, or at least the technologically possible ones, into a Mr Poll type thing and asking people to tick boxes for everything they think should be done? That would be a democratic priority producer, and weed out any unneeded requests.
