I've only just returned, and already I have problems and requests, naughty me, and it's not even that important, but I thought I'll report what I saw, anyway:
On my screen, when I'm at the Buffista Home page, two (recently) closed threads have the word [closed], the number of posts and the line underneath them appearing like it's still a link (blue instead of the usual black letters and underlined), but it's not a link, just looking like one. It happens on "Due South" and on "The Quotable Firefly". I don't know if it means anything or what's causing it, but I thought I'll just post about it (maybe I just missed posting?). Thanks!
Does anyone else see what Nilly (welcome back, sweetie!) saw? The links are normal on my screen.
If you do, please e-mail me the HTML of the page.
Huh. I just clicked on Read New (on the left side bar), and it brought up the Archives page. Couldn't duplicate it when I tried it again, though. Weird.
So is the best practice for the board to unsubscribe from older, yet to be archived threads? Does it help with server loads and the like? For example, I just subscribed to Natter 16 and unsubbed from Natter 15. Was I a good Do-Bee?
I'm not seeing the things Nilly is seeing, but it does sound disturbing like the obnoxious porn stealth-ware that had been snuck on to my uncle's computer back in May. The one where it had replaced certain words that could be seen as suggestive with links to a porn site, including specific locations, like the due South slug.
Obviously Nilly's isn't linking to anything, but I wonder...
Nilly, is the word that looks like a link in the due South slug "mature," or the Hebrew equvalent? Is it one of the other words, is it the whole slug?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but it looks like this:
Due South: Mountie Fetishists Anon! [closed] (4066 messages, 4066 new)
A place to talk about all aspects of Due South. Slash-oriented. Some content may be M for Mature. No Ray wars.
and only the actual name of the thread is linkable, nothing else [Edit: unlike in my example].
However, I think the problem is somewhere on my computer/browser, because there's a post in UnAmerican that contained a link, and the link looks like it's not closed, but only to me (similar to what I described in the paragraph above). So it's probably not a general thing and nothing to be worried about, I think.
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but it looks like this:
Don't worry about it. You've confirmed that your problem is different than the one I expereinced.
That's all I've got, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Sean, it just goes to show that porn isn't always the answer.
Nilly -- Typoboy's post in Unamerican
did
have bad html. There was an open
t A
tag which I just fixed. So I don't think your two problems are related. Maybe.
