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.
So, on that list thing. I'm guessing there is nothing for lackaloons like myself to do. If I can be of any help, I am happy to.
Yes, thanks, -ma and glitter to those who make the Phoenix fly. Why don't you let us nontechies know sometime if there's something the likes of us can assist with?
AHH! I had this wonderful long Sang Sacre thing, complete stream of consciousness, I was logged in and everything, but when I hit Post it threw me to the Index page and I was in Guest mode!!! Please, is there a way around that?
Not until a developer can duplicate the problem -- what were the conditions? How long between getting to that page and hitting post? What's your OS/browser? What are your user settings? Remember me? Does anything else log you out like that?
Oh, it probably had to do with the usual time-out protocols, which I believe are timed from the last activity. I did take several minutes on writing the post. What's the default amount of time that has to pass before you're logged out?
Win98 running IE5.5. I don't have "remember me" set because I dislike cookies, but maybe I don't understand "remember me" correctly.

Remember me does use cookies. What don't you like about them? Question -- do your URLs have a PHPSESSID on all of them? Because if they don't, you are using cookies anyway.
Really, if you don't have it set, I think that's going to happen. PHP has a session lifetime of about half an hour, at which point it frees stuff up and moves along.
