Appreciation Thread for WilliamPitt

Skinner needs to institute a new policy effective immediately.

If someone posts a GBCW thread, they should be banned and their IP address blocked. 

I think there should be a gNads exception for that rule, otherwise it seems the right thing to do.

If it can be back dated, Dorkangelnumbers will be gone four times.

Well, the boss still survives there, and has tussled with some primitives, and I'd like to help here, but can't.

For some reason--and I inquired about the matter some time ago--when a thread on Skins's island is really long, highlighting for copying-and-pasting won't work, or can be done only in chunks, such as what I had to do with Atman's comment, above.  That took five highlightings to do.

I dunno why that is, and I'll ask again.  Why, when a thread's super-long, does highlighting for copying-and-pasting become so difficult, if not impossible?  It didn't used to be.

I can copy/paste several pages at least. Maybe it has something to do with your clipboard.

Too bad Skippy is gone, he was a computer expert. Maybe nadin is lurking and can send you a PM.

I dunno; I've wondered too if the fault's my browser.

Perhaps it's because a thread's s-o-o-o-o-o long that it's still loading while I'm trying to highlight?

But if I wait until the thread's 100% loaded, all done, no matter how long that takes, then it doesn't work unless I "refresh" again.

This happens with long threads only.

I just copied this entire thread and pasted it into a blank Word document with no delay.

Something goofy in your computer. Big wad of bytes clogging a pipe or something.

That could be.  I'm working on trying to figure it out.
