Okay, the fix is now 75% operational. The remaining 25% will come a bit later this afternoon when posting is slower, and I can slide the server time back in line with the rest of the world. (Seems the server is sneaking half an hour into the future again.)

As for what you’ll need to do – posts you did have marked as read will now be showing as unread (due to the way the time is now encoded) – so you’ll just want to re-mark the threads as being read. Once you do that, the system will distinguish posts that were made before you clicked the button, and those that were made after you clicked the button, and display them accordingly. Then, if you choose to go back and read the thread again, after more posts are made, just click the button again, and it will update the cookie’s time, and the newer posts (up to that time) will also be marked as read — ones made later will then be seen as unread.

Pretty cool, no?

As for being sane… I gave up on that years ago. Figured it would save time to just go mad and get it over with! 🙂

Come on, everybody, sing along!!!

Aw, come on, there’s gotta be at least a few other Cookie Monster fans out there. Sesame Street’s been around since the dawn of time (or at least the last 30 years, which is close enough, since I’m only 27). 🙂

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Ron. The fix for it should probably be in place a bit later this afternoon. (As long as I can stay focused on this.)

Okay, I think it’s gonna be a while before anywhere near this level of HTML intelligence will be achieved by the system. I can see that what we’re talking about here isn’t simply yanking out a couple of bold tags or href links every once in a while. So, in order to accomodate this, we’ll be needing to find and integrate an existing HTML reader into the posting mechanism – that’s gonna take a while. And, since this is hardly the only project in the list of projects to complete, I can’t give you a time scale on just how quickly it can be done – or even for sure if it can be done to the level displayed in your post. We’ll be looking at it, but don’t expect a miracle today (or even this week, quite possibly).

And pay no attention to the gibbering coder in the corner, begging for the pain to end – he’ll get over it. 🙂
