One quick testpost to make sure this actually works...

Seem to work Magnus... :)

YAY! Henrik posted something!

Well, I was testing out the new feature as Magnus just finished it as we were talking.

Thank you Magnus for your mad scripting skills! I'm sure you've please at least 75% of the ticalc.org community!

I'm one of the 75%! Thanks for listening to the comments posted on that survey about the news system. These features were *REALLY* wanted (as shown by the 50 posts all requesting the same thing :-)

Thank You! MUCH better...

Thank you for adding the option for "All On One Page". I've got a DSL line and there's not much of a wait for pages with hundreds of comments, so I don't mind.

-Fil and his $0.02

Hooray for broadband! ISDN is the poor man's broadband, but it still loads these bulky pages just fine.

What exactly is ISDN? I've heard of it all over the place, but I never knew exactly what it was...

-Fil and his confused $0.02

Integrated Services Digital Network.

Old-school digital lines, initially intended for small business. It just so happens that the Disabato casbah has one too.

It allows you to use a voice phone (with three separate lines!), fax machine, modem, and (in my case) a 128 kilobit ISDN router), all on the same line.

Versatile!

Except with the dedicated lines and all that, ISDN is almost always more expensive than DSL...

The router (at $300) is expensive (duh), but we only pay $30 per month. That's less than DSL goes for in these parts.

That is a good idea. I still like to see every comment at once.

Does anyone know what the most posts for one news item has been? i remember one was around 250, wasn't it?

470 something
one not too long ago may have hit 480 or 490 though

1) Random Numbar Generator (485 posts): /archives/news/articles/3/38/38229.html

2) Newsboard Anarchy Trial (417 posts): /archives/news/articles/1/18/18658.html

Actually, those are now 493 and 418 respectively.


When putting up the stats, don't forget the survey "What is your gender?" with 416 comments (just two behind) and "Would yuo buy another TI calculator?" with 406.

Then there is the "Game ideas" in programming which has totalled 785 comments so far.

yay for all comments on one page!
