Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Since I can't REALLY remember my problem with br, I think it is safe to let that one go....

Oh-- I remember. It always drives me batty to have to type the br HTML in lines of a list or a poem, because to a hard return doesn't cut it, and two hard returns make it double spaced. but I don't know that it is very important.

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

That's more a feature (well, a function), than a bug, and a holdover from TT/WX behaviour -- I'd rather not change it, for those reasons. It would start making the logic of quickedits really complicated (when is a return really a hard return?).

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.

Huh. For some reason I thought we already did that, and ascribed the top-of-page behaviour to switching from IE to Firefox. It's the crack-smoking, I guess.

Some browsers already did that, brenda. The effects of the crack smoking may yet manifest, however.

JUST SAY NO.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Obviously I haven't marked a post in a while. Most of the time, for links, I just have them open in a new tab or window. It's the times I forget and then can't find who pointed to the butt bow dress or whatever, that I get confused. No big deal. Glad the marked and edited thing is the same.

The only other things I care about are labeling bookmarks, and I'd like to be able to "jump to" a particular date in a thread. The clarification on preferred charities would be nice. Though, I have my own preferred charities as I'm sure we all do.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

It always drives me batty to have to type the br HTML in lines of a list or a poem,

I type it once and copy it to the clipboard, so I can insert it over and over by hitting Ctrl-V. I suppose giving brain space to that kind of trivial trick is why I never have any poems to post with it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm seeing thread titles shifted most of the way to the right edge of the left-hand column. Screen shot here.

It's the same in IE 5.5, Mozilla 1.7, and Firefox 1.0

Is this new, or have I just never noticed before? Is it deliberate or accidental?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's always been that way, and it's deliberate.

Huh. I guess it really was time to get these new glasses.

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

I just got a quote:

This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's letting left. Best you get used to that. Mal, 'Ariel'

I think the word should be "getting" instead of "letting".
