Maybe you could charge per cat post..
My cats would want Actors Equity membership if we went down that road...

Fair's fair, they could then donate their acting fee to pay for the post : )

great plan
Or a Special Capture Challenges - pay to enter the challenge or pay to post?

My cat just cost me $300 at the vet. She's gonna be doing a lot of modelling work to pay for that! :-)

Yow, if she's still recuperating she should be like a sitting-modelling-duck : )

You’d think so, eh! But I have to give her 3 pills a day and she moves pretty fast if she thinks one of those is coming. ;-)
And not biting the hand that feeds her? She didn’t get that memo. Nevertheless, I’m glad she’s well enough to be difficult. :-)

still sounds like the basis for a pretty gritty (kitty) photo essay : )

OK, last fund raising idea - I promise- a recipe book based on the Capture food thread....

Nah, she's too smart for that! S'alright, we have a deal: no pill, no meal. She lets me off with yowls, eye-rolling and the occasional nip.

True - shame they don't make the cat pills itty bitty....

Done :-)

Re search: as a suggestion.
We're using Sphinx search at the standard. Runs as a cron service doing delta updates every 15 minutes or so. Does a full recalc of the entire site sometime in the morning. Reads directly from the SQL server. You can pretty well custom fit it to any data source.
I used a plugin from Percona that I hacked to fit our needs. Mostly because I didn't want multiple instances of sphinx running directly from apache.
Searches are lightning fast and there are a few badly documented features like @author name to search for comments by a particular commentator or poster. Currently on my fix list to upgrade and document.

Nice upgrade.. I will have to borrow a few ideas when we release my current work project and I have a few spare weeks for doing site refurbishment.
Also good to see on the waffling rankings that TS is rated in the rankings along with all of the gamers. But where is kiwiblog? I guess I should have a look over there to find out.

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been wondering if fixing our search – which, in case anybody hadn’t noticed, really does not work well – should be the next upgrade.
