nwfront99: Has anyone ever determined for sure what constitutes an "old" post that commenting on would cause a ban?
nwfront99: I've heard Discus criticized a lot. Why does everybody hate it so much? It seems to work well enough and I like it that the posting history of the poster is easily accessible.
cthulhu: If you accidentally do strikethrough with a CAPITAL "s", you can't undo it with a normal "s". Headed for barrel.
But, it was classic, Maet.
Told Milady, you have to see the ONT. She sat at her computer, loaded the comments page, and began scrolling...
BurtTC: Not a question of ignoring, simply choosing not to argue.
Just want to express my appreciation that my testimony of decades of positive experience trying homeopathy has not been directly assaulted by those of you who (presumably not having tried it) are s
Mike Hammer: Hope your clothes are colorfast. The last time I did that the cuffs of my trousers were bleached out. Also, small holes in the fabric that looked like acid burns.
Fail on a close-tag but was saved from it anyway.

I guess the answer was, corgi horde moves on to the old thread from sheer force of habit.

tcn in AK: TUUtu? as in, TUUtu too?
I'm surprised I still have this morning's hashtag, after being elsewhere all day.

Tonestaple - oh, also, if you're one of those who can't use ampersands, then all bets are off, because the substitutes all start with an ampersand. Sorry you're having problems.
Tonestaple: ...I thought Notepad stripped off all of the unacceptable formatting....
Tonestaple, you may be having trouble because you're trying to copy and paste characters the software won't accept?
Not done reading the post yet, but this jumped out at me:
The Gutenberg interface is clunky and primitive and looks like something from 1997.
Ricardo Kill: grump, I try to copy and paste the weird characters you produce and Pixy gives me the cold, dead 500 error.

Dang! Made the Sock Wall of Shame list again.
IllTemperedCur: Duh. Had NoScript running. Nevermind.
Yeah, NoScript. That's what the other fellow noted was the problem. Funny that it interferes with styling.
I was told by another Moron of that problem - when running without javascript, some of the styling gets borked.
IllTemperedCur: That's a good guide to the HQ. I especially like the virtually unreadable red text on reddish-brown background for the comments.
