So THIS is where y'all have been hanging out. This thread has more name-recognition than anything else I've seen in a while.

TOB, I scaled down a bit because it is work to keep track of all the active threads.

On the other hand, a more liberal (dare I say) thread policy does seem to have attracted many new faces.

I think Kevin versus Drfelle is a new version of Justme versus Peter P. Of course not exactly, but as a general idea :-)

I think I saw OO somewhere -- now what thread was that again ;-) ;-)

Let me know (p@patrick.net) what would make it easier to keep track of all the active threads. They do pop to the top of the list when there are new comments. But I think I really need to improve the search function. Currently search doesn't even include comments or commenter! Sucks. Someone should do something about that. That someone is me...

Patrick, What you just suggested about better search functionality would be very useful.

OK, hopefully I'll get that done within the next week.

Done. Well, outsourced to Google. But hey, search now actually searches whole pages including author name, comments, comment author name. I tried in wordpress, but it's totally post-centric. Just searches post text and it's gnarly to change it.

Anyway, now you can easily search whole pages. The main drawback being that it may take a few hours for Google to index the latest comments.

That was quick, Patrick. Works well, too. I didn't realize Google was already crawling the threads of patrick.net. For some reason my experience had been that blogs or boards often had crawling blocked.
