Good point. It's not like you have a Cray or something.

Like lau mentioned, I would really appreciate being able to edit my posts immediately instead of having to wait. Is there anything that could be done to maintain the same minimum time limit between new posts, but allow immediate editing of a post that was just made?

I don't know if Alex is contemplating moving to phpBB3, but that now has a Friends/Foes system built in, which includes facilities "...like hiding posts of foes".
Actually, I've just had a play with that, and it seems to be rather limited, so far. The only thing that happens with a "foe" is that thread posts get suppressed. Also, you can't set an admin or mod as a foe (which makes some sense, I guess), but I have no idea what it would do if you already had someone set as a foe, and they then became an admin/mod? I'm sure such a setting should not be dependent, that way. It has to be better to allow someone to set anyone as a foe, but for that to just be overridden, when the person is an admin or is a mod of the particular forum on view.
OTOH - what's the problem with GreaseMonkey? There seems to be something similar you can run with IE. Mind you, I suppose it still tied you down to using a particular browser, really, unless you rewrite the script to keep its "foe" list is a common location...
OK. So it does make a lot of sense for the board to provide the facility.

| Yeah, that was my issue. Using multiple computers and having to keep it synced. |

I am mostly bugged by the failure to use links and lynx which gets a 403 error.

I thought we had dealt with the links/lynx problem? I certainly have no problem accessing WP with lynx, provided I give an acceptable "user-agent".
E.g. This works fine:
lynx -useragent=Lynx www.wrongplanet.net
(I just tried it.)
(I wasn't quite masochistic enough to do this reply from lynx.)

I also just installed "links", "links2" and "elinks". Unfortunately, the latter seems to have replaced the basic "links". Ho hum.
Both elinks and links2 worked straight off.
==========
And now that I check... Alex seems to have sorted out the "lynx" problem, anyway, because that doesn't seem to need a "-useragent" switch any more.

k, it didn't when I last time tried it. I'll try from my laptop ASAP.
Edit: using lynx isn't as masochistic as using FF from a PC with 36 MB of RAM.

I just thought that aspie obssesions should be in more organized channels, links can be boxes of maybe some sort of interactive bulletin board with useful info.

Wasn't sure where to post this.
If I'm mistaken, then my bad...but-
time on board posts seems suddenly an hour later.
Yes, I changed my account's default time a month ago (March 9) for USA time change, and it's been correct up 'til now. It's (still) currently set for "GMT-4". It's 3:40 a.m. & this post will read 4:40 a.m. I live in eastern time zone, yet the times on posts say it's an hour later-and I am logged in. I could alter my settings to make it that hour later, with "GMT-3" (and guess I probably will)-but I really thought I had changed it already. Is it just me ?

You should have it set for GMT-5 if you live in eastern standard time. The time was incorrect due to a daylight savings bug until i fixed it yesterday.
