Am I missing somethings or not looking in the right place?

Good catch!

The ReadNew was pulling up messages newer than your last login date and time (mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss am/pm), whereas the Message Forum STATS were counting messages newer than your last loginDATE (mm/dd/yy) (with an implied 12:00 am).

Now it's fixed.

Fang-o: I discovered today that editing a post drops you at a place where you can't 'continue read all.' I had to go back twice to get to the original thread, and then do continue.

FYI.

My screen is warm. Does that mean the firewall is turned up too high?

Oh the hackers outside are frightful
But the firewall is so delightful...


Homer: Yeah, I'm aware of that "feature". I got around it in the old system by opening a new window for the "edit". I suppose I could do something like that again...

I would like to see each message receive a "score" [Arbitrary use of quotation marks, 5pts.] based on arbitrary rules determined by Committee [Arbitrary capitalization of a noun, 5pts.], then applied automatically by the software.

The user with the highest score during "sweeps week" gets to rename the board and/or demand tribute from the other users.

And of course, I'm not wearing any pants. [Use of catch phrase, 10pts]

[Message total: 20pts. User career total: 20pts.]

Ralf: You must have been inspired by the "Body Counting" link, eh?

The winner should be able to amend the scoring system.

Homey: Thus ascending to true Godhood. [Ambiguous capitalization, 2pts.]

Rox: I *loved* that site. [Use of astericks, 2pts] If only I could someday aspire to crack the top ten. Does a Nerf attack constitute a "massacre"? The site did not say.

[-10 points for Ralf, misspelling of "asterisks".]
