Sorry, I couldn't resist. The topic title represents my least-loved bug—hyperventilating vagueness that probably isn't a bug after all :)

Anyway, this thread is something else--a thread for me to test the bug-feature as I develop it. If this thread goes funky in some way, sorry, that's the point.

Yeah, it's an annoyance to a lot of long-time watchers of Bug Collectors, too. Plenty of not-a-features, or feature requests, or whatever, getting reported as bugs.

Still, I'm eagerly awaiting the bug-feature -- thanks!
(And I've got a bunch to break out of the longstanding bug-tracking thread here once you implement it!)

God, I love the one last night. Author ratings aren't updating. The lowest-rated author is being maligned. Um, yes, we're not currently taking into account the author's own ratings--100 books worth. Yipes!

The "Bug Tracking" box appears on the right. Let me know what you think.

You're up late.

So am I, but I bet I had more fun! (Jazz festival midnight jam session.)

Add (non-working) links to pages showing bugs by category and status.

Looks good. Where is the 41 years coming from? Does that go back to the famous Unix start of the universe date?

Yeah :)

It's an old bug.

You do realize that the next real Y2K occurs when the Unix time rolls.

Oh I know the year, I did Y2K for my company. I left full instructions with the youngest engineer there when I left. (We found serious problems, our output would have ceased. )
