Buffistas

I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

w.nilly

Somebody was looking for something about "willy nilly", and not about me, right? t /just a bit paranoid, and can't help having the way her name is spelled in English be a part of an existing expression (predating even the Buffista Dictionary)

[Edit: that's the longest t / I've ever had before]

Willamina Nilly? So that's your real name! The secret is out!

Willamina Nilly?

Does that make me a character in the William/Liam/Billy/etc Jossverse? t /natter

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

They're there -- in the new users folder.

What "new users" folder? All I see is "inbox", "sent", "trash", and "handled".

I'm not using the web interface. I'm using the Mozilla e-mail client, but it always worked fine with HR.

What's the URL again?

Got it, Jon. Thanks.

Okay, got Composer straightened out. It apparently wanted me to subscribe to the unseen folders, which I never needed to do with the old site. Weird.

We now have 987 registered users.

I was wondering about searching. I know our old search function was too database intensive (or something - no need to confuse me with facts I can't remember for more than 5 minutes).

Anyhow, I was wondering if an additional "qualifier" (not sure that's the right word, so bear with me) could be added onto the threadsuck function as a search work around. In other words, the threadsuck form could be modified, to add a field that tells it whose posts I want sucked. For example, I might threadsuck the Buffy thread, but only for posts made by Plei, or threadsuck Natter, but only for posts made by Nilly.

Would that be possible? Would it be too database (or Buffista!Techie) intensive?

ita will confirm, but I'm pretty sure that the search function will return here once ita has finished coding it (it was always in "beta" at HR). We did a stress test of the search function here at fangeek before we went live, and the host admin didn't think we overtaxed their resources.

Once it does return, it will do exactly what you are asking for.

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

Actually, it won't be quite so threadsuckable. The beta version, yes, but its main problem is returning all the results on one page. That's very taxing and resource inefficient.
