  1. I just saved a draft instead of submitting it.

    How do I find my draft so that I can submit it?

  2. private messages working?

    Are private messages working for anyone? I tried sending one, but it never goes into my "sent messages" folder...it just sits in "outbox". Does this mean it's not sent?

  3. Ad hoc protocol for inviting SDMB Poster over here?

    How are people inviting others to join this board? I don't exactly have a whole lot of "friends" on that other message board, but I'd like to see as many come here as possible. Any ideas? It's mainly via PM, right?

    Can't be Dopers over here. I've seen DoMeBohemians, DoMeBopers, and DoMeBoers.

    To help implementing the thousands of suggestions mentioned in The Wish List, Q.E.D. has been appointed as an admin, due to his PHP programming experience. Hopefully, this will speed up implementation, somewhat.

  10. Could this board cope with a massive influx?

    Suppose everyone active on the SDMB upped and decided to move here over the space of the next three months - could this board cope - in terms of DB size, bandwidth, etc?

  13. So, what's the idea here?
