Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I have a few isues but the new mobile MB rocks.
I have an issue where there are ads twice as wide as the actual forum which is annoying.
Other than that the new set up is really easy to use.
I mentioned that a few pages back. Ad blocker worked for me; believe Crystal (for safari) is what I used.
Not really new to the board but I was on the 'official forums' mostly. I got a long time out for a rare bad behavior. I will keep myself under wraps. I normally lurk more than post. I guess you could say I had a bad day. (join date: Sep 12, 2006~lol official board was 2007 after revamp.)
Been there - done that. Now I cause trouble over here.Not really new to the board but I was on the 'official forums' mostly. I got a long time out for a rare bad behavior.

ps Being an optimist is troubling here.
That would make you unique.Nice. Thanks for the welcomes. I will make sure I do an exhaustive google search before posting as well. Got to come correct and prepared.
Too many twits around here as it is...So... I've visited other boards & noticed how they have a sweet little twitter feed on one side of the page. Is there any way we could get something like that?
Grinch?Too many twits around here as it is...
Grinch?
Is that you?
I'll never admit it...Grinch?
Is that you?
You're getting your Christmas specials all mushed togetherBah humbug
You're getting your Christmas specials all mushed together
Merry Christmas!!
Finally, I don't know how you guys are going to take this, but if the Browns decide to move on from Johnny like they did Brian and Brandon, I hope he comes here.
Welcome to the board Brownsfan. Sort of. But don't be wishing Manzel on us and you'll be OK.
Here's the deal. The Browns are a consistently below average disappointing team. The Texans are an average consistently disappointing team. But hey, welcome anyway. Foster probably won't be back next year, he's likely done for. But we don't know that for sure yet. Right now we have a great defense, and a Nuckleus of a good offense. If you get that, you can stay and be one of us.
If you do stay, you'll be fine. You're used to disappointment, you'll fit right in.

I assume you must be referring to some prior poster who posted similarly or had a similar interest. I can assure you I am not that person. When I first started posting to a Browns forum in 2012, someone called me "Lumbergh." I googled "Lumbergh" and found that there was a fictional character, "Bill Lumbergh," in the Milton animated shorts who was a micromanager focused on pointless paperwork, and I assumed my accuser was somehow attempting to connect me to that fictional character.
Eventually, however, I learned that Lumbergh had been a poster from Oregon who was a particularly strong advocate for one of the Browns many quarterbacks, Derek Anderson, and who left the forum when Anderson left the team. Basically I was being accused of filling a similar role for Brandon since I had been a fan of Brandon's at Oklahoma State.
Am I close?
Not really. I'm just popping off and really didn't intend to point a finger at anyone in particular. It was just an interesting rhyme.I assume you must be referring to some prior poster who posted similarly or had a similar interest. I can assure you I am not that person.

Certainly not. They really are out to get you.Thanks for the clarification. And sorry if I appeared a bit paranoid.
I am a Browns fan, but I have decided I would like to root for a winner for a chance.

Welcome to the board!
There aren't a lot of Manziel fans around here but there are a few.
There are also some posters here who will take offense at classifying the Texans as "winners", and then there are some others who will blame you if we end up missing out on the playoffs.
Like I said, welcome to the board, Mr. Weeden.
This board is having some serious issues with posting and quoting of posts...
What issues are you seeing? I haven't been experiencing anything unusual.
When you hit to post it hangs and so folks are hitting to post again and then getting double posts.
That's my purely know nothing about it guess.
I thought he was talking about the posts where folks are quoting parts of other posts. But they delete the last bracket of the original quote, throwing off the "quote bubble" & it makes it hard to figure out who said what.
I was talking about this as well as the hanging... but I haven't deleted anything and it still happens from time to time. It seems to happen when for some reason you quote a post and it puts in what that post quoted. I'll try to remember to take a screenshot if it happens again. Doesn't happen often, and I can live with the hanging issue but it is aggravating having to edit the posts to remove the quote of the previous quote you are making
If it's hanging that is normally a busy server issue. This server is very beefy and I now have another server running scripts that used to bog this one down. The Quote thing (if I am understanding it correctly) sounds like an issue of getting used to the software. I am still not clear on that though. I have edited some of my posts that included posts of others and didn't see anything unusual.
The advantage of retaining a quote or unposted comment (unintentional deletion) is offset by unintentional posting. I suspect it could easily be resolved if there were a way to easily intentionally delete those quotes and unposted comments from the reply section. Traditional delete isn't working and the information "deleted" re-appears at unexpected and inconvenient times.This board is having some serious issues with posting and quoting of posts...
But a very good guess or more likely analysis. Good job.When you hit to post it hangs and so folks are hitting to post again and then getting double posts.
That's my purely know nothing about it guess.
The quote function seems to be working correctly now. As far as the hanging issue goes, one thing I've found is that if you go ahead and click through to wherever you're going next, it will post. You don't have to sit and stare at the screen until it posts.I was talking about this as well as the hanging... but I haven't deleted anything and it still happens from time to time.

You are correct sir. I find that when it hangs up after I hit the post button, instead of hitting Post again, I click the reload page button and <Shazaam!> my post is there.When you hit to post it hangs and so folks are hitting to post again and then getting double posts.

On this new board, how do you insert a link and get it to just show 'link' instead of the full url?
This is new...
But you are old.
