Question: ShireFox
What would you like to see ShireFox do, regardless of how goofy or strange it is?

One thing you might want to do is add a link to this address:
http://shireroth.kuroshiro.net/forum2/s ... d=newposts
Makes it so you only see new posts since your last visit. I use it all the time.

AND THERE'S NO AMPERSAND IN THAT URL.
One of XML's biggest issues is parsing ampersands, because the ampersand is used to denote special characters (a la — ). And, frustratingly, the special character for an ampersand is & , which is SELF-REFERENCING so you end up with & or worse in order for it to parse correctly.
Wish I could figure a workaround.
But that link will go into the "Forum Actions" menu next update.

Actually, if I understand the situation right, you only need one & becuase you don't need it to parse the & as part of the string when you're using it to denote a special character, even if it's itself.
Hopefully I can explain it a bit better. You see, when the XML parser comes to &, it starts reading for special character codes. Now, if you just leave the & it causes an error because there wouldn't be any special code in your string, just the rest of the URL, right?
Well, by using &, you are using the & for the function that caused the error in the first place - denoting a special character. The amp; defines it as the character "&", which resolves the entire problem because you are, in fact, using & as a special character. Once it gets past "&" it continues on - it knows that it just put out the character "&" and doesn't go back to reparse it as a character.
So I don't see what the big problem is.

Right, I totally forgot. I haven't so much as touched the site or my other project or anything else for that matter since classes started. I was expecting to get to it sooner, but now it's dependent on when I have free time (i.e. not doing work).
