Well can I?
I have had this one un answered for some time:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5423318#post5423318
But I know that the piece of music shows up in “Team America”… how can I change the title, so I can get people ‘looking’ for Team America to answer, over those who only watch GSN and Quiznos?
Contact a moderator. They’re the only ones who can edit posts or titles.
Since it was more than a month old, it probably would have been OK to start a new thread with more info in the title.
Don’t, however, start a new one now (unless a mod happens by and tells you to, of course). Just contact a mod (or wait for one to read this) and they’ll make the change.
I’ve modified accordingly.
For future ref, easiest thing to do to get moderator attention is hit the REPORT THIS POST button (the exclamation point in the upper right corner). You can’t report your own post, so you’d just report another post in the thread.
Yes, we know, the message when you REPORT THIS POST seems to imply that it should only be used for life/death emergencies, but ignore that. That’s the way to report anything, whether the need is great or small.
May I humbly re-submit this idea to the powers that be?
Yeah, we got to overhaul all this stuff, no doubt about it.
I’ll see if I can find some time to get started on it at least; I’ve also been sort of holding off waiting to see if we were gonna get any vB updates any time soon. Since an update undoes all the changes, I’ve not wanted to put all these in just to have them vanish.
There’s also been some changes at the Reader in management. They just did a complete overhaul of the paper itself in terms of style, graphics, etc.; among other things, they’re using a lot more color throughout the paper. There’s a lot of new stuff that wasn’t there before and more technical and other problems. In the face of all these changes, it’s the same small staff of tech guys handling everything on all sides over there: The printed paper, the online offerings (not just us, but all the other sites the Reader operates, including personals), and including most of the everyday hardware and software and other physical plant needs for the entire company. I do believe the same tech staff is also responsible for the phone system over there as well. For all I know, Jerry and his small staff also wash dishes for the Thai restaurant in the building too; I can testify that they’re overburdened.
Jerry has had his hands full with many “to-do” items at the Reader and we are way down on the punch list these days. In view of what’s been happening, I’m sure you can understand, or at least I hope you do.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Please bear with us as we work these things through.

Wow, talk about a bummer. Thanks to jdavis and the staff for keeping the meat and potatoes of the board in damn good shape.
