    I'm considering to replace some "small" plugins we are using (for spoilers, for colors, ...) with this one which seems to be more actively developed than the ones we are currently using.

    https://github.com/MinecraftForgeFrance/nodebb-plugin-extended-markdown#readme

    Let me know if you have any thoughts.

    At first, I was like "Yes, more formatting! Color for text, header blocks, etc..." but honestly there's something nice about our responses not being formatted too much. So I vote yes, but knowing we might collectively ask to disable it later, lolz

        I saw it as well. I think it was because Klaus took it down to install updates and plug-ins. Only lasted about 10 minutes or so.

                  Yeah, well, all I can say is what my Mom would tell me to say:

                  <underline>Sweep under your own porch first. </underline>

                  There, I said it.

                  Sorry for being so direct, abrupt, and for causing heartwrenching guilt for those particular forum members that shamed themselves by talking about weight.

                  Let me tell you something!!, and you can all write this down:
                  WITHOUT WEIGHT, WE WOULD ALL BE NOTHING.

                  Do you want to be nothing??

                  So, there you go. And I am much, much more than nothing. Like, pounds if not tons more.

                  Ax, throw in that link you used to constantly post, the one with that Mormon gal that was a singer. Not to be confused with that Nun you are so hung up on. Don't know why you kept dwelling on her, but you're right, she did look cute and thin in black.

                  Anyway, time for dinner, again.

                        Just pasted a quote from an article and got insetting "highlights."

                        The highlighted part of the pasted text is between apostrophes in the original.

                        Looks like some plug-in is making stuff between apostrophes highlighted if they're part of quoted text, but not in original post.

                          This is's a test'. Test.

                          This is another test.

                          @George-K this behavior occurs independently of quotes. It only occurs with backticks (`) not regular apostrophes (').

                          It's a longstanding part of Markdown. Is it really a problem? Usually, backticks are used very seldomly in normal text.

                                  In some circumstances it's quite useful to have a way to disable automatic formatting etc. (called "quotation" in CS lingo), and that's what the backtick is for.

                                  For instance, let's say you want to explain how to write a word in italics. Using backticks, I can write that _foo_ produces foo. I produced _foo_ by writing `_foo_`. Your next question might be how to produce `_foo_`. You do that by writing `` `_foo_` ``.

                                    Some data about forum usage.

                                    Interesting glitch in mid August. Also interesting that page views by bots have gone down so suddenly. Presumably the result of a software update.

                                        I was already working, but as Monica was in her 3rd year of law school it was in fact her spring break.
