In theory ... I'd like to cap it at 50.

Um. I'd kind of like it to cap at 50 also.

Yes, even though we tested it here, the search function on a fully operational board is still making me a little nervous.

Would it, like Google, give you the number of results?

---

The date stamp is determined by where the server lives. HR is in NY, fangeek is in CA.

Cool. I'd wondered if that were it.

My new tagline is, if I've counted correctly, precisely 255 characters long. And yet I'm informed that it clocks in at 257. And yet yet, it looks fine in practice.

Are those extra two characters something other than the plaintext, thus making their truncation no problem, or am I tampering with forces I can't begin to understand?

---

I confirmed Robert's observation. I tried some other long taglines. The quote marks are getting counted twice. As Robert notes, it doesn't truncate incorrectly, but it is odd.

---

Noted. That should be a reasonably quick fix.

Am-chau, what's the list?

---

It's long, list-like, and filled with listy goodness, ita.

In summary:

• CVS repository
  
• Move search out of beta
  
• ENUF filter (MARCIE)

• an admin only quick edit (!STOMP) that's replaced with the stompy image
  
• design Stompy image
• Rearchitect code to use XML/XSLT
  
• Shorten long URLs
  
• Tag closer
  
• Ability to label bookmarks
  
• On-board poll ability
  
• Option not to show taglines
  
• Quickedits for tiny text,

t BR and links

• More tags:

t BLOCKQUOTE t TT t SUB t SUP t CENTER and t S

• Correct in Lynx, leaving a line blank does not start a new paragraph (post 4073)
  
• problem with quotes in taglines (post 4131)
  
• User set style: font, colour, etc (covers for visually impaired, dislike of fonts, size, and several others)
  
• ‘Subscribe to this thread’ link in thread header
  
• List of threads in ‘set profile’ be the other way around (ie, last first)
  
• Threads arranged by type (NAFDA, spoiler, etc.) see BbaBB 2521 for Nou’s suggestions.
  
• organize the geographic mailing lists and add their own page
  
• Add First Book and heifer.org to Links page as preferred charities
  
• Force Beep Me and Press to the top of Message Center
  
• Reverse chronological sort for Search
  
• Full-screen, large font compose box for impaired vision.
  
• Programmatic interface for submitting to Quote Generator
  
• work-friendly (distinctive logo/graphics only on the front page, not when reading posts)
  
• Pictures, either with every post or just in the profiles
  
• Jump to date in thread
  
• message system, by which private posts can be left for other member, of limited length and retained for limited duration
  
• tagline archival

Some of these seem to be slightly on the 'policy' side of the question, and I'm not entirely sure about the priorities given to some. However, that's roughly the shape of things.

---

an if-clause in the post-displaying code -- if they're an admin, replace "!STOMP" with the stompy image or whatever.

I think this needs to be modified to "an admin only quick edit (!STOMP) that's replaced with the stompy image".

And added needs to be "design stompy image" (I do remember something floating around).

---

I've made those changes, both to the list and the post above, ita.

---

Because I forgot to say it before: thank you to Am-Chau and ita for adding my request to the list (post 4073) and for all your other hard work.
