it's the classic beginner's mistake with regexes
Well, some of us beginners never got that far.

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

Yes -- it's for table width. It used to be a sentence. Spaces wouldn't have the same effect.
Is anyone else desperately curious about what that sentence was?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'd love to the How-To or HTML bits cover how to turn a long, obnoxious link to one of those tidy, one-word hyperlinks.
Other than that, I am loving this board!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Anne, it's in the FAQ

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Anne, here's the format of the tag

Durrr.....
My bad. I looked through the FAQ, but never saw it. Oh, well.
Thanks for the help.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I am Read New's bitch.
I knew I shoulda registered as "Read New" :)
Firstly, let me also add my oohs and aahs for the board and my congratulations to the folks involved in creating the software that runs it. Beauty!
I trust you'll be marketing it soon, as a viable alternative to the outrageously over-priced WebX :)
Now to add my 2c to the problems previously mentioned.
1) I'm also having problems with the Message Centre. For some reason it is only showing 2 threads, yet I've subscribed to 4. Clicking 'Read New' lets me read all of them but it is odd that they're not all showing up in the MC. I've tried selecting and unselecting and all that jazz but it hasn't made any difference.
2) I'm posting this via Mozilla 1.1 on WinXP and I've noticed the same thing about pages refreshing. If I click the 'back' or 'forward' buttons the page refreshes each time. This does not happen in Opera 6.04. I have no idea why the two are handling the script differently.
================================
Okay, scratch what I said in #1. Message Centre is now working properly for me. It must have something to do with logging out and then back in because it wasn't working when I just clicked 'change settings' and carried on la di da

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The linking thing is in the FAQ, but it's not in the How-to or HTML or quick edit links. It would probably be easier if it were. Those would be the places I would look, and did being a linking novice and all.

I just want to put on record the following behaviour.
I have a bookmark for my Message Centre.
When I start up my browser and click on it, the first time, I'm automatically redirected to the front page.
This is not because I'm logged out, because the front page knows who I am thanks to the "remember me" function.
On any subsequent time I use this bookmark, it works normally.
