LJ Support Trick or Treat

Mostly of interest to Support people, but you can play too if you're on my friends list:

Don't know if this counts, but...

Just learned today, thanks to a bit of RT research for this request, that the JS-related problems on update.bml may finally be resolved once and for all. I've been out of town and haven't been keeping up with rt_bugs for over a week, so I didn't see the update for this ticket. Would this still count?

Bonus points:
1. If this isn't relevant to Entries, I don't know what is. XD
2. I have only ICed on the request, though that may not count.
3. Is the/entire/comment/required/to be/
In i/ambic/penta/meter?/ You did/
Not say/it had/to be/the whole/comment. XD (Yes, lame attempt, but hey. XD )

Do-over, if it's allowed ;)

Le-o/ra taught/me how/back-dat/ing came/
To be/a nec/ess-i/ty for/post-ing/
En-tries/out of/se-quence/by date/or-der./
It is/to keep/the us/sers from/flood-ing/
Their friends'/Friends pag/es with/a ser/ies of/
Old posts/that they/im-port/ed from/else-where./

I think this is much better. ;) As you can see from the thread, this was a question I'd been wondering about for ages, and she answered it very thoroughly and eloquently. :D Plus, it's Entries-related (duh, it's about backdating! XD ), and I wrote it up fully in iambic pentameter. ;) Not really going to use this specific info in a request, but hey. ;)

Re: Do-over, if it's allowed ;)

[norinel]

Good! Any requests?

[lady_angelina]

Oooooh, um... Don't really know, to be honest. ^^;; I'll leave that up to you, but if you really can't decide, maybe something having to do with an Infocom game (Zork, Bureaucracy, and Wishbringer immediately come to mind)?

Btw, because of Isa's comment, should I fix that second line to be more technically accurate? ;)

In postevent code the simple string 'guess'
Sets the timezone to one you've said's by you
I think I'll have to put this to the test
I wonder if it works in clients too?

[norinel]

Any requests?

[idonotlikepeas]

Nope! I am entirely in your pointy claw-like appendages.

[norinel]

Well, it's something as a video game sprite circa 1994, and it doesn't like peas:

I can't do iambic pentameter being meter-impaired, alas. But I did learn something new. I actually figured out where it was located and how to change the setting before looking over the screened I approved, but the details that I learned are mainly in the IC:

Basically, I learned that my mangling was unset. Where to go to fix it. And that users can have their @lj addies being mangled (I prefer the term munged, but apparently mangled is the official term) but not have it on for their normal addies. And that the @ is in italics.

I also learned some things from reading the comments to this entry.

[burr86]

Actually, the @lj address is always mangled -- the option applies only to your personal address.

... There, you learned two somethings new. ;)

[leora]

No, I'd already assumed that from my... the @lj can be mangled without the normal one being. Since the @lj was mangled when my mangling was turned off. I just didn't communicate what I'd learned all that well. :)

I'm a bright one. :)

[burr86]

Oops, I misinterpreted! Fine then, you only learned one something new. :P

[norinel]

Well, you beat my "higher up in Support makes this harder" expectation, and with 2/3 of the bonus criteria. Any requests?
