Huh. ita, is there anything I can do re: tedious work of adding some sort of a closed tag at the ends of bajillions of lines? If it's something like that, I'd whimper and whine a lot, but since my cat is the only living creature who can hear it, why not chuck it my way?
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have a back-burner kind of feature request -- it would make vote-counting infinitely easier if the responses could be put on the subject line of the email in addition to the body text.
(So, instead of "Buffista Ballot," the subject line could be "Buffista Ballot - Yes." Like that.)
(And I just realized that not every vote has a single answer, which could screw things up, so, hm. Maybe this isn't such a good idea.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
responses could be put on the subject line of the email
If someone reminds me the next time we have a single issue ballot, I'd be happy to do that. It's an easy change.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I think it would be easy enough to do for multi-issue ballots, too. Just seperate them with a semi-colon and a space, or something.

But with multi-ballots, it wouldn't make the counting any easier, because sorting by subject would only group the first vote together.
But for single ballots, it would make sorting and counting a snap.

It would make it so you didn't have to open every email to find out what they voted, is all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was so scared I would miscount that I opened them up, replyed, made a spreadsheet with names and votes, etc. It was very labor intensive, but I make a lot of math mistakes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hit me with whatever you think I need. But I don't mind wading through code. I kinda like it. It'd be pretty clear pretty quickly whether or not I'd be helpful, I think. Anyway, profile addy or point me when you're ready.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Big ups to Fangeek and our coders. I don't know nothin from nothin, but the fact that our provider can tell us what the issue is, and then we have people who can start addressing it? Makes me happy.

Is there any recommendation for those of us who are techspeak challenged as to how to use the board to limit the pressure on the board? I.e. threadsuck more or less, use message center instead of refresh, change number of posts displayed per refresh etc. My programming knowledge is limited to basic BASIC (10 print hi, 20 goto 10, look mom it says hi lots of times...) but I'd love to do my part to lessen the load.
