I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Just out of curiousity, how does one unsubscribe from a thread? Because I don't need the spoiler threads there taunting me. Really. I want to be strong. I just...need to take that first step and ask for help.

I've tried checking and unchecking them in my profile, to know noticable difference. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all the fish.

Hit message centre on the sidebar, Alibelle, it should be only the threads you've checked. I think if you hit the one at the top of the page it takes you to the full list.

(edit) Actually, that doesn't seem to make a difference. I only see the threads I've checked no matter which message centre I hit. Sorry, can't help.

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

Right, the message center page is the same no matter which 'message center' link you click on. The message center shows only the threads you've subscribed to.

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

Thread subs are in "Set Profile" -- if the box is checked, you're subscribed.

Suggestion for a future version: a quick edit way to make tiny text?

Not sure if this belongs here or in Bureaucracy, but I wonder if the COMM thread wouldn't be better off in the sidebar, maybe in the Tools & Archives section? Right now it's the only non-discussion thread that doesn't live there.

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

I think it's a Site Tool or Archive. Gimme a sec.

Well, that's through no fault of my own. I'm trying!
