Sadly, though, it's predestined :(

At least I got a coffee mug out of it!

Yes, let it go. It just wasn't strong enough to make it on it's own. :(

Will this VB code/links thingy ever get turned back on? I'm lazy, I like to click the link, not type in the url or cut and paste.


I'm glad you brought this up, Brenda, as I was just thinking about it this morning. I can't for the life of me imagine why turning BBCode off would be necessary for a website upgrade, and even if it was, it shouldn't be necessary for almost a month. There's a paranoid part of me that thinks Torley's announcement was just a flat-out lie, and that there is actually some other purpose (and this feeling wasn't helped at all by the forums completely going offline for me twice yesterday). I don't want to think such things about Torley!

On the bright side, someone in another thread pointed out a workaround for links... wrap them in IMG tags instead of URL. For example, here is the link to Torley's announcement:



ETA: Apparently doesn't work with JIRA links for some reason... perhaps because its HTTPS instead of HTTP? Plus it reverts when you edit your post.:(

Ooh, you sneaky devil. As a reward I'm sending you an incredibly tall hat (see for an explanation).

Why, he's an absolute giant of a man!!

My plan is that TallHat v1.02 will be a Cat in the Hat type hat, and will be issued to all members of the Forum Cartel.

I alluded to this in another post Ava, I saw something similar happen to a forum I used to frequent, right before the plug was pulled. It came back about a month later, redesigned and stripped down and useless.
