Forum Updates and Realignment

[Inconspicularity]

You should never respond to adbots, because I delete them and then you look crazy.

And then a modmin comes in and explains the confusion.

Can't tell if adbot or just trolling...

Was about to say I was obviously not an adbot!

Or if you are, you might be able to pass a Turing test or two...

Ah I see. x3
Even though I'm a new member, I have visited this forum quite a few times already.
I know there are people out there who probably make multiple accounts and then never use them, so the lengthy registration process is a good idea.
And anything labeled as "serious business" will normally be a place I never visit, and it looks like the one here's going bye-bye xD

Well good luck with the changes. I'll be supporting this 100% :3

My name is Patrick. Im new here to this forum. Im really wanting to learn to become a webmaster. Im not looking to making this a living just a time consuming hobby. I would like to earn a little extra money, but its more important for me to learn the right way first. Please if anybody has any advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for you help

One would think that there are far better places to obtain this information than the MS Paint Adventures forum.

[Inconspicularity]

That is the best thing I've seen all day.

[Drillgorg]

Also this:



For some reason, most spambots fill out their biography as "Man"

[incorrectEnglish]

The name is also usually a dead giveaway, in that it's a name that often doesn't make a lot of sense. Very few real members would have that sort of a name.

[Aryogaton]

...Can we preserve this one?

hide spoiler

In case this post makes no sense in the future, there was a spambot post that matched the above descriptions of what spambots usually do exactly.

[/explainthejoke]

[Drillgorg]

Nah, preserving them is more work than going the "delete as spam" route.

Few users have what would appear to just be a jumbled collection of letters, yes. There are always exceptions to that, though!

Anyway, I look forwards to the time when editing posts and other themes are usable again!

I'm definitely interested in some of the new features here, even if th- Auto-save? Seriously? Cool. -ey won't be fully functional for a while. I'm on my iPad, so I don't have ToolTips, but I can tell that one is for making tables (and not the wooden ones you take pictures on)... .

BUG? But it isn't documented :-S. Weird, since I just assumed that each tag came with its documentation that would get automatically included on that page. Have tables always been here but no-one knew about them?

Nope. Tables appear to be added recently.

That is great! Now I no longer have to dream of posting tables. Instead, I will dream of posting definition lists.

[*Sigh*]

Yes Iso, your legacy of posting things that confuse everyone else will only continue to grow with each passing chart.

[Miff]

Also	tables seem	to have
Colspan
ability	(but not rowspan)

I see this as being useful for signatures too.

[Nimz]

That bbcode list thing (in particular the [noparse] thing) ... it would have been so nice if I had known about that earlier. I've made a few posts where I've intentionally broken a lot of bbcode with [i][/i] so that people could easily copy/paste the bbcode. I might just abuse [noparse] with reckless abandon now that I know about it.

[unbridledExüberance]

Also this:



For some reason, most spambots fill out their biography as "Man"

And apparently, his occupation is "United States".

"So what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, I'm a country."
"What?"
"Yeah, I work as the United States."



Since the update, when attempting to quote a post that contains quotes in it, the quotes in the post you are quoting are not copied. Is this intentional or a bug?

[Drillgorg]

I believe it is a "feature" of the update that they have yet to disable for being annoying.
