Roger that.
No longer red Jackie, but a cartoon baloon of A exclaimed.
What!? No quux. That's not right!
I didn't realise that we're practically neighbours, zmjezhd. Although I don't need gills on my island.

Not bloody likely.

In this Safari browser she's red all right!
She's red here too, in Firefox.
She's red now, but weren't afore.
I was going to say that no, I'm not red, but after reading all the above, I am now!
I got foo and bar (naughty testuser!
), but what's baz?
Apropos of sweet fa, have you seen Wikipedia's front page today, Jackie?
No, I hadn't, but cool! Thanks.
De nichts, mijn amica. I thought we had Unicode here, but it turned out we don't.
what's baz?The third canonical metasyntactic variable (identifier). More infos:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foohttp://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/M/metasyntactic-variable.htmlI've always been partial to quux, but that's because I come from a LISP background.
Ja, what gives? We want our Unicode ...
"oogle, foogle, boogle; zork, gork, bork."
God bless Lewis Carroll!
"The third canonical metasyntactic variable"
Oh yes--that was right on the tip of my tongue. (Yeah, right.)
'Sfar's I can tell, we're only allowed UBB...if that is at all related to your Unicode question.
Oh yes--is anyone able to get the "graemlins" (odd word!) and colors to work by clicking on them? Or is there something else we're supposed to be doing that I don't know about? 'Cause they sure don't work for me that way.
Oh yes--that was right on the tip of my tongue. (Yeah, right.)
Sorry to be such a pain, Jackie, but you asked what baz was, and as there is an agreed upon term for it, I gave it to you.
Feel not like the Lone Ranger, Jackie. I can't figure out how to make colours nor to make the little funny faces appear, either. Some wise one will know ...
Edit: Experiment.

ditto for the graemlins, it seems.

You weren't; I was just making fun of my own ignorance.
Hey, I think the UBB codes work for me; thanks, Faldage.
Oh, sure, UBB. Like everybody knows that.
UBB = Ubiquitin B (a protein, I think)
UBB = Ultimate Bulletin Board
UBB = Ultra-Broad-Band
UBB = United Bulgarian Bank
UBB = Universal Bulletin Board
UBB = Universidad del Bio-Bio
UBB = Universitatea Babes Bolyai (Romania)
UBB = Unsaturated Vitamin B
UBB = Usage-Based Billing
here's further info about the new boards:
ubb threadsand yeah, I can't get any of the scripts to run, even with pop-ups off...

If the codes do work for you with the colours, they should also enable you to insert the graemlins. If not, type the phrase that appears when you hover the mouse over them, comme ci:

Edit: Well - THAT didn't work, despite what it says in FAQ
hmmm..
nope, looks like images of any kind are turned off. no avatars...
Quote:

this doesn't seem like such a bad thing, for a board with a wordsmithing conceit.
Momma don't want no avatarsmithing 'round here.

They throw some of the finest parties in Romania, so I've heard.
Faldage, old hoss, you were asking on another thread, for Plutarch's pseudonyms
I happened to stumble over a list compiled by of Troy a while ago - here they are:-
grapho
themgmt
wordminstral
plutarch
moss
tang
ROB
omega
diggrifier.
Hope this helps!
[/color:green](PS) I seem to remember that "tang" is "gnat backwards - wasn't this also a name he used for a while?
Thought I would duplicate here what I said over in I&A yesterday, since I got a notice today of yet another PM here:
YOO HOO, whoever you are: I still can't get to my PM's.
eta, your post reminded of something I'd meant to say yesterday and forgot: I'm used to seeing "Error on page" when I have my pop-up stopper on, but all these times I've tried to do things here, it has NOT been on...sigh.
Hi Jackie,
When I looked up my PMs on the new board, I first got a message saying that I had stored too many PMs and should delete some before being able to receive new ones(!) I did delete a number of them (sigh), and the message did not recur. Maybe this will be of some help to you. I don't know if the ones I sent actually went through.
Anu has in fact changed the limit to 10,000. I don't know what to tell you to do if you can't get in, as I can't, but it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to delete any.
ah well. I deleted about 500...
I feel fresh as a daisy.

You deleted 500? Wow, that's more than 5 times the number I have in total.

That goes for me, too, S tuart - I keep intersting posts for up to three or four weeks - if I haven't revisited them in that time, then out they go (the exception is if they contain information like urls or e-mail addies)

Harrumph. I remember a certain young man from the far reaches of the earth warning folks he didn't *like using the private message feature.
Who said I was kvetching about it? I was jes' sayin', wuzall.

Din' nobody say you was kvetching.
The kvetch seemed to have been inferred by the harrumphress.
I think the inference were inferred by the harrumphee
please excuse this post. it is an attempt to stop this thread from continually being unread...
How can 74% of you not choose "bar"? Are these the AWADers that I knew and loved?
stupid s/w won't let me not vote and see the results; you'll just have to include a "none of the above" button, jo. [hi!]
I'm guessing that the answer will show as either 0% or 100%, I likes to keep things simple, none of those grey areas! (hi back!)
