This actually opens a question for me.
On Table Talk (and a couple of other fora that work on the WX model), you have a 30-minute window to edit posts. Here, you can edit indefinitely -- I just went back to the start of this thread to check, and in theory I could edit posts from April 15.

Hm. You could try to remember Suela instead, would that help? But not Connie because then you'll confuse everyone.
I know that it was discussed to have people not just rest on the message center, because the refresh, of course, uses up resources. Could this be part of the problem? I try not to rest there, but sometimes do anyway, and I'm sure everyone else is like me, cuz, well, I sure am.

Only if it's on.
ita, how hard is it to turn off message center refreshing?
