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.

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.

What the hell is that?

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.

Wrong thread, bucko.

What an incredible nimrod am I? More at B'whatsit.
