Yes a searchable section dedicated to politicians, by office and party.
Tenpoundbass OK, how about this:
https://patrick.net/post/1377838/2022-11-29-us-congressmen-lists
richwicks OK, something like the existing "pinned" list for threads:
https://patrick.net/pinned?a=Patrick
But for comments instead, right?
It wouldn't say why you pinned a comment, but hopefully you'd remember why.
OK, it's kind of a good time for this, since I was planning to merge the database tables for original threads and comments so that search could be unified. Right now there are separate tables and it's a pain.
After they are unified, then there can be just one kind of search, and one kind of pinning.
I do have a reasonable daily backup system I think. Worst case, one day is lost. Eventually I hope to have all comments immediately mirrored to a different server, but that's time, money, etc.
For the db migration, I plan to take every thread, make the text of it a comment, and have that thread just be a kind of skeleton which just has a bit of metadata and points to the original post content in the comments table.
So everything is going to be a comment. A "thread" will just be a wrapper around the first comment, which is the original post.
The whole site should look and work pretty much the same, except that search and pinning will be just one thing instead of two.
Thanks, but I've got this, no problem.
Looks great again!

I noticed if I make a comment, then click edit, then submit my edited text, I get a "no such comment" error. It does however save my updated comment ok.

make patnet great again!!!
When was it not great?
Left and right arrow keys now cause navigation to previous and next page of threads or comments.
charlie303 True, I don't do anything when someone posts a YouTube link except make it clickable. I don't trust Google, nor their subsidiary YouTube.
If I were to let them embed an html frame on patrick.net, then they would have vastly expanded powers to spy on what users are viewing. I don't think they allow plain video tags with YouTube as the source.
But for Rumble and some other sites I do trust, I transform a link into a video tag, because they allow that and because it doesn't give up much info about patrick.net users.
Please follow me there, though I suspect my new account is already shadow banned because search auto-complete for patrick_dot_net does not work, even if you type "patrick_dot_ne" up to but missing the last "t".

Accounts aren’t just hit with labels that are obvious to insiders. They now found more “secret” labels which are causing shadowbans. My account was hit with all three; “Recent abuse strike,” “Recent misinformation strike”, “Recent suspension strike.”
