I got a 503 error earlier today with a message saying "overload".
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
anothertest.@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.

''Think about it,'' he says. ''Dalton and Waldenbooks aren
t concerned with service. They arent concerned with ideals. Theyre only concerned with economics. Lets cut the price. Look what theyve done to the greatest thing in the world, books-denigrated them to the point where theyre nothing but cans of beans.'' -

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.
!!! warning [Warning]: Nerd alert: The following text isn't suitable for normal humans. Caution advised.
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.

Oh that dip is just when @jon-nyc said he was going to post his 1994 spring break beach photos.

Florida Keys with my girlfriend Monica and her mother, who we brought along to cheer up as she was newly divorced. I rented a convertible.
I was already working, but as Monica was in her 3rd year of law school it was in fact her spring break.

Jon, you have a big head.
Just thought you ought to know.But on the bright side! -- a big head sticking out of the top of a Vette looks just the right size!!
