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

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
You spaced up the colon after 'http', so you could post, right?
Will test.

Yup.
It chopped it up and repeated it, so I commented out that code in production.

OK, got the problem. That site uses a pipe ('|') to delimit parms, in contravention of all standards and sense. It will be fixed despite my desire to adhere to the Godly Word of the W3C.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've noticed pipe | being used a lot on sites lately. Is this a new fad?

I just wanted to pop over here and say a hearty thank you to the board developers for making b.org so damned user friendly and easy to read. Black boards and so very eye-strainy.
So thanks.

Big chunk of discussion got chopped out, for me. What the hell is that?
My last post on that topic was:
What would we experience differently?
Someone drops a link to a book purchase into a discussion, let us say. I am reading this discussion as: The Buffistas preference would be that this link would be, more preferably, a pointer to the Buffistas affiliate link to that book purchase. There would be posts related to this preference. That is one difference.
Another difference could be visual. If there is a stack of vendor buttons somewhere around the site, there might be some conflict with the concept of we being fan-supported and fiercely independent.

Wrong thread, bucko.

I meant to say ... your post is in Bureau, Gus. (silly paste function)

I'm not saying any of those things, Gus. (and the place I wasn't saying it was in B'cacy).
There is nothing implicit in the "should we have affiliate programs" that has to change your user experience. However, if I know there's a link on the links page that means that b.org gets a cut every time I shop and B&N? Dude, I'm sure going to use it, instead of just typing bn.com into my browser window.
No skin off my nose, and a couple pennies to our coffers.
