The Greatest Song Ever - Phase One ***FREE PUPPIES FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS, SEVERE BEATINGS TO NON-PARTICIPANTS!!***
Time

I say this in all seriousness...

I couldn't name a single Dead song other than "Touch of Grey," which I could only name because:

1) I watched nothing but MTV growing up in the 80's

2) I had google at my fingertips (I thought it was "I Will Get By" or "I Will Survive").

In other words, this post was of no help.

Akwat Kbrana needs to empty his cache to see the absence of an eyeball what Frink needs to do to see the eyeball is go through the motions of doing a reply with quote, click on the empty box and copy the image address and post it into the address bar (then you will see it until you empty your cache again).

Ok, I now see the eyeball.  What is causing this?

It helps to empty your cache when posting an image found while surfing to check to see if remote linking is allowed (it's an eyeball, maybe another can be found to complete the pictographic set.

Tried the cache empty and no luck.  However, if I quote the post, I see a placeholder - the image frame is there but the image doesn't load.  In the thread itself I don't even see the frame.

Regardless, if Bingo sees the eyeball, then it's good enough for me.

FULL PARDON!

The Forum Fights Back Against My Train Wreck Thread OP
Time

I'm completely baffled now. I left my preferences set to plain text, and tried to quote a picture someone else posted in a different thread. I can see the original fine, but my quote looks like this:

How about The San Francisco Mime Troupe?



I didn't change the html at all. Also, when I do this same exercise with my preferences set to advanced editor, the quote works fine.

???

EDIT: Here's the exact same quote with the advanced editor turned on.

The Forum Fights Back Against My Train Wreck Thread OP
Time

*sigh*

Ok, so I switched back to plain text editor temporarily to try some editing, because I was having all sorts of spacing issues as I tried to change the link titles. When I did this, I could see the character limit problem, because for each link, the html was repeated many multiple times. Removing all the duplicate html fixed that problem. But I'm sure I messed up a tag somewhere - take a look at how the OP looks now. You can see all the html. Problem is I can't find the mistake, and also I don't actually know what the format is supposed to be because I'm not used to working in HTML.

If I have to, I guess I'll switch back to advanced editor and retype from scratch. But would you mind taking a quick glance and see if you can tell what the problem is now?

Sorry to be such a pain. Thanks.

Who is interested in an OT.com Fantasy Baseball League?
Time

C3PX said:

Hmm, I hate real football, but I have never tried out fantasy football before. Maybe I'll hop in and give it a go! It is kind of like an RPG right, just with a football involved?

Okay, so, my character is a knight named Umaveg, who is training to be a wizard and rides around on a large fierce black steed, named Porkchop. He has limited magical powers because of his wizard training.

Sir. Umaveg runs out onto the football field on his trusty horse, and is ready for action! Who has the ball?

I suppose after all the off-topic posts I've made, I deserved this.  Of course, I said baseball, but I understand how you could confuse the two, since they both are spelled so similarly, what with the word "ball" in both, such as it is.

Added C3PX to the OP anyway.
