What do you mean by "new improved board"? There's no intentional code reason that you should be booted out.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Well, not too long ago there was a different address or something. Something was different. When I used to log in on the previous one, I'd stay logged in.
I'm not even sure what the change was, but you gave a new link or address and this is where I've been ever since. I don't remember what the issue was...new server maybe?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Are you maybe using buffistas.net, quester?

Yes, Dana, that is the address I'm at. Is it the wrong one?

buffistas.net is the test site. Untrustworthy code. Use buffistas.org.

Ah! I bet that would explain it! Glad I asked. Of course, I should have asked awhile ago. D'ho!
Thanks for the help!

Quester, when you say you were using buffistas.net, you don't mean buffistas.net, right? So what URL were you using?

Hmmm, that doesn't look like the one I was on. I was at a place that was identical to buffistas.org, and all of the posts I made while there are visible here. It was some weird doppleganger board.

One thing I've noticed is that some users are using "font color equals white" tags to post in-line spoilers. If people are using the personal css feature like I am with a black background and gray text, then the spoilers show up in blazing white characters instead of being hidden.
Rather than try to change the humans, this regular expression will replace those font tags with the appropriate span tag.
$string = 'the actor on tonights show is <font color="white">sooper seekrit</font> !!';
$pattern = '/<font color=([\\"\\']*?)white([\\"\\']*?)>(.*?)<\\/font>/is';
$replacement = '<span class="spoiler">$3</span>';
preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
Just a suggestion.

I think some people actually consider the visiblity of spoiler text a feature rather than a bug. But maybe they could just modify the spoiler tag in their style sheet? I am not knowledgeable enough.
And whoa, gray on black? I bet that looks trippy.
