Sweet.

Do you have the power to decrease or eliminate the post delay?.

edit: restored to original

I'm way more interested in someone who has the ability to get rid of the Leaderboard entirely.

I don't mean this to sound as negative as it does, and certainly don't want to detract from the story... But after reading this, I can't help but wonder if resistance to Ebola is genetic?

If it isn't, after this large outbreak it most certainly will.

There may certainly be something to that, bit I doubt we'll see it yet. Think about Smallpox . . . why were the native American / First Nations peoples so affected by smallpox and the whites, not so much? Because the disease developed after they had already arrived in the Americas and they (native Americans) didn't have the resistance that evolved. I would not be surprised to see the people in the areas where the disease is most prevalent to be the first to have a natural resistance. But this typically takes many, many (hundreds or thousands) of years.

I see what you're saying, but with Ebola's penchant for rapid mutation, I find it hard to believe that people would develop an evolved resistance like groups of people have throughout history.

I can no longer seem to post images from my flickr feed. What's up with that?

I've tried clicking the image icon and pasting the flickr link; I've tried using the bbcode and I've tried just manually inserting image tags and the flickr image location, but have yet to successfully get an image from flickr to show in a thread.

You have to isolate the actual link for the image. It's the part between "

" - it's usually the second "part" of the string. The link ends in".jpg"

Thanks. What an absolute pain in the sit-upon.

It just seems to me like since The Change, almost everything is just a little bit harder to do. And that doesn't seem good.

This isn't the only website. Seems like "green" web developers are making major decisions on web design. The Free Press/ News and a few other web site went from easy navigation now to having to click several times to read articles. Some are trying to make easier for mobile usage. many I just rate to newbies doing the design and I just try to get my news from elsewhere (opposite of their intent).

Sad but true.

If that gets stuck in my head, I'm going to hunt you down.

As a sidebar to this story ... is that there are journalists who have volunteered to travel to the heart of this ... most feared and deadly disease, to report and photograph the story.

It is one thing to volunteer to a war zone, where you can actually see danger. It is another to walk into the center of a potential pandemic and cover the story. Where at any moment you may be infected because you don't know where it's coming from ... and you won't know if you're infected until ... you're infected.

I'm not gonna lie. I would find it kind of funny if you waited until post #9,999

Oh sure, typical man! Finish when you all feel like it and leave the rest of us with our frustrated OCD satisfaction!
