And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

How do I post a link?

Your links should be automatically transformed into clickable links. There's a replacement script which identifies them by the fact that they start with http:// -- so, does that not work for you?

It doesn't work with just "www", it has to be http-colon-slash-slash.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ahhhhh, Hil is ever so much cleverer than I.

(And to make the entity not convert to <, I used another entity (&amp;) for the & sign)

I've just remembered the discussion about 255-character-plus taglines and the resulting strippage.

How would it be if I coded up some JavaScript which put a button neart the tagline box on the profile page which said "check tagline length" or similar?

This JavaScript would of course degrade gracefully, i.e. folks with Lynx or with JS turned off would never see it.

Thanks everyone. It should be easier now. I don't want to grumble - I would never have the unselfishness or the patience, even if I had the knowledge, to do the site organisers' work - but wouldn't it be a lot easier if there were links to the search function, as on worldcrossing, and AFAIK on most other discussion sites?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

This would be very cool.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yay! Dai got it!

I'm OK with that, but I've never been anti-javascript. Is there some string-length function in PHP? I've been studying the Phoenix code this past weekend (I wrote a threadsuck!), and it seems like it wouldn't be to difficult to code with PHP, if I knew how to use that function.

I do know how to copy and paste. I've never had any trouble posting links on other discussion sites.

Oh, I deleted once I realized I misread both parts of your question and made you sound dumb. Sorry you read it.
