Stay safe, stay sane, and use only safe and sane fireworks (In CA, its the law!)

But then I still have to go through, forum by forum, to find all the posts that occurred between update and now

I recently got 'handed' a book and told 'read it'! "Lord of the Fading Lands" by C. L. Wilson, and so far it's absolutely lovely It's a fantasy / romance blend (so far) that I'm absolutely adoring. It's got the 'evil wizard' and the 'good wizard' and the 'maiden fair with magic power' to knock your socks off with (gee, sarcasm much? ). Anyway, I'd highly recommend it... even if it is adding 'yet another obstacle' to me getting around to reading some of the e-fiction work I've been looking at.

Um... no. I'm talking about the 'view posts since your last visit' button, which has apparently mutated into 'view new content' (that shows all content in order of it's latest 'bump', not just new stuff). Edit: OK, now that I've manually gone through and clicked every forum as 'visited' the view new content list shows... nothing, like it should. I just had to tell the forum 'yes, I've seen this stuff before' (or rather, i don't care about the stuff from 10 years ago )

Does anyone know where the 'go to newest unread post' button got to in the 'view new topics' option? I tend to prefer to use that over browsing to individual forums ('cause I'm lazy ) but it's no big deal, I'm just wondering if I've gone blind when using it.

With a 'due date' of October 1st, there's plenty of time... both to write, and to announce

Good grief, all the bad jokes floating around in this thread are getting a little too much! We need some good jokes to top them off! Wait, was that another bad joke?

Well, if we could get 200 more we'd have 2 69! (Just don't look at me; I screwed up and calculated to make my financial aid last through the end of the semester, not the start of the next semester... woops!)

Question: WTF is a dental dam? (The article talks about how to make one, not what it's for)

I'm a bit of a latecomer to this discussion, but I loath the word homophobia. Why? Because it's the wrong word for what most people use it as these days. It's become the 'catch all' word for prejudice directed against homosexuals, rather than simply being afraid of homosexuals / homosexuality (with though strange, is a legitimate fear... much like my deathly, and completely irrational, fear of bees). There are many phobias out there, and a phobia is a psychological, not criminal, issue. Literally, it's 'fear of same', not 'bigotry against same'. And that kind of word mix-up just drives me nuts. Practically speaking, it's become the word used to define prejudice and bigotry against homosexuality. This includes everything from social prejudice (don't get involved with 'those people' to 'go away faggot!) to physical violence (from slamming people up against lockers as you walk by to shooting them in the back of the head execution style).

Excuse me while I go do a little victory dance! (And some research on those names... I don't follow actor / writer names very well, and probably never will)

I doubt they're going to recreate the entire series like that; we may -- may! -- be lucky enough to get some more "New Original Series" movies, or even a "New Original Series" TV series, but that doesn't mean we're going to see them recreating everything else. If nothing else, the time line differences should be great enough after 80 years to pretty much 'prevent' the same crews from coming together again.

Sounds like my kinda guy

Where's the poll option for "I don't have enough experience to make up my mind"?

My opinion? Too cold, even if the civil rights are 'right'
