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

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".

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey! Is the Subscribe/Unsubscribe thing new? That's SO FUCKING HOT.

I just have to second this (or fourteenth it, or whatever).

Re: the conversation that's going on in Natter.

Perhaps we should enable caching for threadsucked pages.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'va always maintained that we should enable caching for all the pages. However, if we can enable or disable caching for specific pages, how about we enable it for everything except the home page and the message center. I don't know if that's possible, but I think that would be the ideal solution. The complaints we had when we did try caching pages were about the home page and message center not updating.
