can I be ( the finder of npt lost things )?

I meant ( the finder of not lost things )

.. . .the boss...er... nice man who does the code... will be with you shortly

oh and thanks for volunteering!

oh.. and aximili? you know that GR maneuver thingy? did i see something about being able to move threads?
or copying them to another entry? is it possible to move the old messages over there to this entry? Rather... it would be better to copy them and leave that place intact.

if not... how about some links to those threads? i just dont like the header tho... i mean the entry header is the old one....

what about an archive?

okay... i put a 'we hae moved' message at the end of each thread over there...

Welcome to the team, Josh though we haven't really done any finding stuff yet. We're either destroying doors *looks meaningfully at fluffy* or just sitting here eating cake.

Or I'm trying to do something impossible with Fluffy's coding.

Sorry, only the Powers can move threads I'm afraid. I suppose we could have a go at copying and pasteing but I'm not entirely sure it'll work.


I like the sound of an archive, though. I'll see what I can do.

maybe someone will find this soon

. .. .waits for someone to find it. ... .



an archive... what would that entail?

hey Axi i just had an idea!! i was over at Happy's inviting her to come over an see if anything she lost is here and it occurred to me that she won't get to see our little Rebuilding of the Lost and Found saga... It is, per se, so to speak, might i be so bold to say, inexorably... . . LOST!

so i was just thinking... how about a link to each of the threads over there... in a dropdown list maybe... in the Lost and Found entry here.... good idea? too much work? if it is too much work... i could copy the code from your ps and make it and then you could just paste it in. Or maybe a different format than a dropdown list?

what do you think josh?

I don't know I think it's up the person doing the work

ahhh but you are part of the staff josh and that means when we have great matters of import to decide here you are required to attend meetings AND input your... um.... input.

for instance... the Lost and Found is Now Open F7772474?thread=4381012 thread has a cat to be named... an elephant to be named... and a cat door to be built... not to mention the messssssss in there from disuse over these last cupla years.... aaaaand there is also to be eaten and beverages to be quaffed!


And, being as you are The Finder Of Not Lost Things i believe that the inventory of the L and F office is ...your responsibility? They once were lost but now theyre found (by us) so for all intensive purposes they're not lost any more.

heh heh pretty good rationalizations on my part, eh?

just one thing

and that is... . .. . .. . ?

those don't have anything to do with the drop down list

okay.. yeah youre right. i was just saying if anyone else knew of any good ideas for how to do it...

Not exactly in a position to do much right now, but when I have time, I'll do the best I can, OK?


Geez, you guys can manipulate me

so... youre working?

The opposite: family holiday.

I have to be 'nice' and 'sociable' and apparently that doesn't mean talking to weirdos on the internet I'm usually on at night, (my night ) so I can talk more freely then.

your family doesnt like weirdos!!??
