Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

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

I'm with amy on this.

Also, has anyone else had a problem with posts being skipped when you click on a thread. As an example, I'm pretty sure the last post I'd read in this thread was this Laura's post:

Laura "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Feb 16, 2005 7:02:26 am PST

but the next time I opened the thread, I was taken to amych's post here:

amych "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Feb 16, 2005 7:27:06 am PST

skipping Nilly, Lyra, and beathen's posts. It's not the first time this has happened to me. I'm prepared to believe it's just my memory going, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed anything like that.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It bugs me -- MC looks much more cluttered, and having threads duplicated is making me do double-takes all over the place. Unsubbing really isn't an option, because then Read New breaks for the right-hand threads I do want to get on autopilot.

I agree, though it's probably something I could adjust to over time if it's too much of a PITA to fix.

Worse comes to worst, we can just go back to the old code until the bugs are worked out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Absolutely.

good. I unsubscribed then. I get wierded out with more than 3-4 threads in my MC.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm with amych, DX and Jessica.

Is it just me, or is the board a little slow today?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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?

I do, too. It's pretty weird.

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

Can we distinguish between what's a bug (code's not supposed to do that) and what's unwanted (I don't like it when the code does that)?

My reading of this is that it works, but people don't like how, not that it doesn't work. Am I correct, or are there bugs I need to be tracking too?

Not counting your unread posts, DX, since you said it was happening before. And I've tracked down what broke the link I posted last night. Which led me to a bug that's been in the code forever, so now that's fixed, and pointed out another that I need to think on for a while.

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

I found that this happened to me because in my profile I had the admin thread checked so I unsubscribed. But when I click "Read New" it doesn't pull up the admin threads.

You need to subscribe for read new to pull it up.
