#2 Consider putting this into an FAQ so that newbees and forgetful posters can refer to it.

I'll take this opportunity to ask a couple questions and make a suggestion:

* What's the proper category for Sudan?

* What's the proper category for Turkey?

* I suggest that you add some brief guidelines about Page 1 and Page 2 in the windows where people prepare postings. Or else refer to a FAQ for guidelines.

#5 Mike, Turkey goes in Europe unlees it's deeply involving say a turkish hostage in Iraq.
Sudan would be Sub-Saharan Africa, I'd say, it could be Horn as well. I need a ruling from the judges.

#6 What is page 71 and how do mere mortals read it?

#7 I always put Sudan under Horn of Africa.

When an article's continued, there's a link to Page 71 at the bottom of the bloc on Page 1.

#8 I just loaded the php page, and it looked good.

#9 This commentary is really chatty and insular. For example, what's the WoT? What's Page 71? I know, because I visit the site frequently, although the "Page 71" thing baffled me for a few days. But newcomers will be totally clueless.

#10 Also loaded the php page. Looks good and loaded quickly.

Raptor, if you provide a link to something that is really late-breaking, and for which the cited weblog is the acknowledged master for the story (e.g., the JustOneMinute blog on the Swift Boat Vet video), I'll leave the link and delete the article. If it's anything other than late-breaking, I'll delete the whole thing (Fred?).

Mike: Turkey = Europe.

#11 Ok,the site I tried to link to was a first person account of current operations this soldier is involved in.

You're right gromky.
I've seen this happen before.
Math is hard too.

#22 Fred, as with this thread and mercutio's "pattern" thread, no comments are shown on the main page even though several may be appended. This is the only symptom I've seen today of any malfunction. Loading speeds are reasonable and there's no back-clicking to an empty page in the middle of composing comments.

Again, thank you very much for all of your hard work. It's deeply appreciated. Using information garnered here, I've been able to take some other location's feebs out to the woodshed for a little ~~trauma~~ parking lot therapy.
