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.

This has happened to me too, the missing posts, but I thought it was my memory.

The side-bar threads are no longer in my "Message Center". ita, whatever it was you were doing? It worked. Also, thank you for all the work and attention and corrections (and I nearly typed "workation" to go with the other words).

I have a question. Why are Betsy's posts rendered blinvisible, with temporarily visible links?

It's the new sarcasm filter...

Are you sure you didn't accidently hit "block" on a post of hers that you actually wanted to "mark"?

Hmm. Where do I go to find out?

Urp. Yip. Undone, now. Thanks.

This is funny ironic b/c of a discussion elsewhere. Heh.

Um, am loving the subfolder for closed threads since that means they go away. But I'm a fan of folders/subfolders.

Kisses to ita for that.

Will Great Write Way and the Bureau ones eventually go there?

Thanks, Kat. It was looking like a bit of a junkyard.

I figured, especially since I was tidying without telling anyone, that I'd leave the very recently closed thread (all the ones I tucked away were at the bottom of the date list), and the B'cacy just because they were official-like.

I have no idea what community will is on the issue.

Jon -- will there need to be any changes to the current style sheet to prep it for being overriden by user-selected fonts and font sizes? Changing it from point sizes, or making everything relative to some single starting point?

I think the Bureau threads can go in the folder. We keep them mostly for easy access when we need to look something up, but I don't think they need to be out front.

I agree about keeping GWW out front to give people a chance to catch up. Maybe move newly closed threads after a week?

Maybe move newly closed threads after a week?

That sounds fair. Read new will work the same way, no matter the folder.

Here's the basic logic -- any thread or folder can have a parent, or a NULL parent. Parent #0 doesn't actually exist -- it's the body of the main page. Having no parent means that you don't show up in the middle of the main page (if you're a thread, there's nowhere else to show up if you don't have an explicit parent -- so NULL is no good here). So the Admin and Tools folders have no parents. The Closed folder has parent #0.

They can be nested, if required (TV/Buffyverse, or whatever), but I haven't made navigational breadcrumbs to back yourself up the family tree yet. I'd also like to add a folder description before I can call it done, not to mention a folder maintenance page for adding and renaming.

Oh, and admins will notice a "maintain" link under the thread header on a showthread page that takes them directly to the thread maintenance page for that link -- it currently doesn't return you to whence you started, but it is a few mouse clicks shorter than the previous method.

I'm also thinking maybe a "clone" or a "spawn" to make creating Natter #19342 a little easier by copying over the definition of #19341.
