The best way to post those long ugly URLs is by using link text like this
THANKYOU for reminding us all of what Hypertext is for!!!

Whatever works. It’s not like we have some World Wide Consortium working to filter the “Bovine Scatology On Rails” out of our browsers…
Next thing you know, you’ll be making us use such arcane concepts as “grammar”… “vocabulary”… even “spelling” fer gosh shakes!! the nerve of some people!
(PS: That was a back-handed “attaboy” in case my vocabulary, grammar and syntax didn’t convey the proper message!)
Well I see there will be no more argument over whether or not someone edited their posts. I just revisited my post about the Convoy metal switch and noticed that instead of saying “the switch used on” I had typed “the switch sued on”. I hate typos particularly in an OP so I fixed it. Now at the bottom of my OP there is a big finger pointing at me at the bottom of my post… Not sure how I feel about that.

Now I feel I should go back and add a note about why I edited it. I always do that where the situation merits an explanation but changing “sued” to “used” does not qualify in my book. Just wondering what others think of this. I on a regular basis will edit out typos noticed within minutes of my posts. If it changes the message in any way I add the reason but I liked having that at my discretion. Just my two bits.

Yep, “bigsmile” doesn’t appear to work, in the simple editor at least.
I’m also hoping my favorite Ghost will make a return some day.
Santa is also MIA. Though I didn’t see that one used as much. List of our original smileys

That only shows up for the OP. Normal posts won’t show they have been edited.

Signatures are not showing up, is this a new bug or a side effect of work currently underway?
Edit: works here, but notice the problems here:

Thanks for the report. I’m 99% sure it’s a Google issue, we’ll see if it resolves itself soon.

Any chance of getting mouseovers with Simple or Advanced Post Editor any time soon?

I’ve been wondering about mouseovers, I thought I read it was working again. Yet I’ve noticed your sig lacks it’s previous mouseover.

Yeah, I've been without a mouseover for 54 days, not that I'm counting.

Sorry I haven’t had time to add the mouseover function. Until I do, it can be manually achieved with the following code:
<a href="#" ><img src=" URL_IMG-1 " onmouseover="this.src=' URL_IMG-2 '" onmouseout="this.src=' URL_IMG-1 '" /></a>Budget Light Forum ...where Frugal meets with Flashlight!
OK, it was a Google issue that magically fixed itself. Working now.

I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but I have mouseover power again!
