This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is COMMA going to stay down there? As it's the most used thread in that box, I think it should be on top.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wished it could be on top too.

Esp. since nothing new gets posted in Meijaville any more (does it? are Dollhouse promos getting posted there now?).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm pretty sure the thread order is automatic by thread creation date. B'craxy used to be higher up in the top sidebar before it rolled over.

I'm pretty sure the thread order is automatic by thread creation date. B'craxy used to be higher up in the top sidebar before it rolled over.

Adding an "ORDER BY thread_id DESC" to that query would pretty much ensure that COMMn will always be at the top because I doubt Nillytown and Mejiaville will ever hit 10k posts and Archives will always be at the bottom because it's just a link to a directory, not a thread.

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

No need for that. I can change the order in the database, and just have. I didn't realise anyone cared.

hooray! thank-you. It's just a silly little thing related to how far I need to scroll down to see if there are new posts. I'm glad it was a simple change.
