Ah, thanks pilotdog68. It looks like I’ll have to revert the fix that I tried on Bort’s observation about broken links. Looks like to add links with dashes in them we’ll have to use the insert link button when using the Simple Post Editor.
Yep.
Something is amiss.
Not just pictures.
Some of the emoticons that were working earlier aren’t working either.
Maybe they are out on strike. 
Yes, I realized that I will have to configure each and every emoticon. I just added a few essentials, and I’ll add more as time allows.
I know you're new to BLF and all, so I'll let you in on a little secret:
That charger and those batteries are junk! 
Aww man!
If it’s to your liking, you could also try the BLF dark theme… but I’m not much of a graphic designer and my CSS is rusty, so it may very well be worse than 1990s vibes. 
(for anyone else who might be interested, this is your notification that the theme thingie has its own thread now because I didn’t want to clutter this thread)
Technically he has only been on “BLF” for 2 days so your insight is valid
Making explicitly mobile-friendly sites is kind of a pain. The server needs to check your browser’s User-Agent header (if provided) against a sizable database to determine what kind of client it’s talking to, categorize it into one of a few supported types (like recent desktop, old desktop, recent mobile, old mobile, bot, etc), then render each page completely differently based on the client type. This requires a full set of templates for each type, and code inside the entire rendering chain (and sometimes functional logic too) to behave differently according to the client type. And then if you want to customize the theme, like applying the BLF theme, you have to customize it for every supported client type. And if you later upgrade the site, you may have to re-do those customizations repeatedly. And, of course, the person who does this needs access to one of each client device for testing and development. It’s a lot of time and effort.
If the framework supports it, a custom multi-platform theme might be do-able in a day for an experienced and efficient web designer… but it could also take much longer.
If it’s not already built deeply into the web framework, it’s not even remotely worth the effort.
Anyway, if it happens, I think we would collectively owe sb56637 at least a year worth of beer. As if we don’t already. 
aye carumba. i had no idea, i usually go to desktop mode anyways because they take out features i need at least half the time
As someone else indicated in their post, I believe you have to add text, or a period, or something, maybe a space. I just tried to post a photo only and it didn’t work. No problem. Thanks.
Or, for those who are so inclined, the forum still allows quite a bit of HTML in the simple post editor. It’s very useful, and the syntax is pretty easy, but it can take some getting used to.
So, if it’s giving you trouble, you can write it this way instead:
<a href=“http://some.site.com/foo/bar/baz”>The Foo Bar Baz site</a>
It’ll show up like this:
The Foo Bar Baz site
You can also do this for images. The syntax is similar:
<img src=“http://example.com/example.jpg” />
(also, FWIW, I may have just found a bug… it still auto-links things which look like links, even inside of the <notextile> tags which are supposed to disable that… which suggests that the auto-linking thing may be running in a separate pass)

Of course, whenever you get the time.
Ok reposting…
Sending messages is not working.
I do use that, but it is not the same as my phone saying DING when somebody post in a thread I follow.
How can we see our previous posts in the new system? It used to be under “My Account” before, but now I don’t see it.
We can’t at the moment.
The new system is a work in progress.
Nice, thank you Halo!
Could you give a bit more detail here please?
Added to the TODO list in the first post on this page.
Thanks a lot ToyKeeper. Let’s try this other Textile code markup:
Inline code, surrounded by @@@ chars: <a href="http://some.site.com/foo/bar/baz">The Foo Bar Baz site</a> Followed by normal Textile-rendered text.
Code block, start with “bc… ” and a newline:
<a href="http://some.site.com/foo/bar/baz">The Foo Bar Baz site</a>
<img src="http://example.com/example.jpg">
-dashes- should not cause strike through
_underscores_ should not be underlined
And close the code block with "p. "
Hint: this is the only known way to type @_the_@'s username. :)
