A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What if we moved the Post Message button to the right side?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

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

I missed the discussion for these new functions, even though I've been lurking for a couple weeks. (Which makes them a nice surprise!) So I ask something you've probably already thought of. Would it take Javascript or something to make the "Jump to" function default to today's date? I'd imagine that's the most common use of that button. And if it has not been discussed before and I am proposing feature creep on the first day it's available, I apologize for causing stress.

I am Not In Charge Around Here

Hey, I'm totally not in charge. Things are my fault, not my responsibility.

And I only poked my head here in order to thank everybody who worked on the new features - they're great, and I love it that there's a link on top of the page and the actual boxes at the bottom, and now I really want to have something I need to search, only, well, I guess I'll have to be mature and wait until I actually do, and not start playing with it and exhausting resources. You guys are great, thank you!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hey, I'm totally not in charge. Things are my fault, not my responsibility.

Just poking my head in here to see if Nilly minds me tagging this. It's a phrase of beauty.

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

I made some changes to the code, most of which changes aren't apparent -- the only thing that shows through is a change on the Set Profile screen, where the thread name is prefixed by the folder name (like "Site Administration/Buffistas Building A Better Board").

The upshot is that we can folder (and subfolder) now. At least at a basic level -- I should put in breadcrumbs at the very least. Also link prettifying to translate a link to a folder ("http://buffistas.org/index.php?folder_id=2") to something nicer (like Site Tools & Archives).

Later.

I now have Apocalyse and COMM in my center-of-the-page list of subscribed threads, in addition to having them on the right side. Is this intentional?

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

That's not happening for me. I'm pretty sure it's not intentional.
