Glad you joined us, Chris!  I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

(IMG) ... Midnite, how do you like the Easter Bunnies? No evil bunnies here. (IMG)

Hee hee!!  Absolutely love them, Bob!
Oh dear, I guess this is what we get for letting those 2 bunnies get near each other, huh?

Vlad IM'd me when his post didn't show up, so I'm currently moving the hidden posts to another topic.  It's only the one topic that's affected, and I'm sure MB will take a look at it.  While transferring the messages over, I had a feeling I should check this board.

BTW, MB, I love the previous and next buttons!

How about a comparison to "Burn Witch Burn" with Janet Blair?  It only came out on video in the past year or two, and the "behind ever great man is one HELL of a woman!" on the video box is a hoot.

If you haven't read the 50's book that BWB is based on-- "Conjure Wife" by Fritz Leiber-- it's about what ensues when a professor discovers that his wife is a witch and insists that she clean house (and I don't mean dusting and vacuuming).

Much less wonderful is Hammer's "The Witches" with Joan Fontaine, though it certainly has its moments.

joe,

Your message was modified to remove the mention of a serious personal problem that David has described.  I sympathize with him and feel that if he has been negatively targeted in any way that he should pursue appropriate avenues with which to deal with the issue, but I do not feel that posting it on these forums is either productive or appropriate.

DS fandom does seem to have its share of politics.  However, I've never found the majority of fans to be poorly behaved or hateful, and in fact if I've seen these types of behavior at all it was from a small minority of people.  I've met some of the most generous, fun-loving, and friendly people ever through DS venues.

Obviously David has had different experiences and I'm sorry for that and hope that he will eventually find the same level of enjoyment that I've had while attending the last 5 Fests.  While I can't imagine how fan behavior could be regulated, I think his words here are lovely and ring true even beyond fandom:

we can further improve fandom by gently, lovingly urging people to be kinder to each other, to be polite to everyone whose paths they cross and to end the grudgeholding. its time we learned that not being friends does not make us enemies.

A man well remembered for his inimitable portrayals as an attorney, a learned judge, and, of course, as the greatest medical doctor  (this side of Dr. Hoffman) who ever put up a shingle in the village of Collinsport, ME.

And for his inability to operate a simple 20th century device that will prove crucial to the continued existence of Barnabas, as well as the hilarious scene in which he feeds the name "Dave Woodard" to Barnabas though for all intents and purposes he should have no idea who the man is much less that Julia should be reminded about his name.

It's nice that you've notified their support, so that presumably it will be fixed.  However, I don't know that it needed to be disabled.  It apparently worked most of the time, and even when it didn't, it caught most of the items.

I did find that it worked consistently, but it displayed only one post per thread, so what you were seeing was the last message in each thread that had a new post.  So that's why you saw Minja's replies to Bobubas but not his messages in the listing, yet if you were to load each of those threads you would indeed see all the newest messages (with Bob's right above Minja's in the threads).  However, if it was going to mislead readers by its title ("10 most recent posts") then MB disabled it, and YaBB needs to clarify if this is how it's supposed to work.

As for your observations below, maybe it takes a few minutes before messages show up in the listing?

When I was here a while ago, the last post was from Ben - Barn and Ben:  a 1795 Highlight at 11:19 p.m. the 17th.

I came back a few minutes ago and checked the last 10 and the only post listed after that was from Midnite on Luciaphil's board at 12:07a.m. the 18th.

However, I checked the Current Discussion board and found some new items.  There was Bobubas at 12:04 a.m and Minja at 12:19 a.m. in the O.T. Message for Unregistered Membes and again Bobubas and Minja at 11:59 p.m. and 12:08 a.m. in the St. Patrick's Day thread.

Before starting to write this, I checked the top 10 again and found that the 2 Minja items had appeared, but the 2 Bobubas ones were still missing.

One more would make an even 100.  Anybody?

I'm quoting myself... is that weird or what?

Anyway, many thanks to abbey_march! WOO!!!
