I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Ahh, I see. I should have used my Special Stompy Powers to figure that out.

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

Oh, DX -- been meaning to ask.

I want to put the thread deleting code (where I delete the posts from an archived thread) into the thread maintenance page. So when you click "archive" they all go away. This might require adding a "hide" option, just so there's something a little less drastic.

Will this work for you?

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

Yes (to Jon). Phred has no Special Stompy Powers, you see, so he's useful for looking at stuff from that point of view.

ita, it's sort of nice having a little safety window between hiding the thread and deleting it, but if you add a "hide" option, it should be fine. Maybe rename the other to "archive and delete," and add an "Are you sure?" dialog.

Okay -- I'll go that way.

Yep. I've done the same trick on the test boards.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I marked a post and it reset that post to be the top of the page.

So damn cool.

How long has this been implimented?

FYI, JustKim posted in Book Club and didn't get a new post number. Wolfram "The Buffista Book Club: Isn't the Point of Computers to Replace Books?" Dec 28, 2004 10:47:00 am PST

I'm pretty sure it's not a sign of the apocalypse, but I figured y'all might want to know.

What is even happening?

msbelle "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Jan 6, 2005 8:17:52 am PST Maybe it was the result of the work ita was doing when she posted the above. No one had posted in the book club thread since 12/28, until today.

eta...

(In the link above, msbelle had the first post numbered 9194, and ita had the second, so the linky thing links to msbelle's, but the post to which I'm referring is just one post down.)
