I just got a pop up while browsing the forum on my iPhone that started out, “Congratulations, Amazon user!”

Has this happened to anyone else?  

Me! On my phone mainly.
I also see the note “first posts are subject to administrator approval…” for quite a long time ago.

There was an add for Oklahoma State smack dab in the middle of your post about religion, @Joe.

I didn’t realize it was an ad at first. While reading the text before the picture, I was so excited to see how you were going to weave cowboys into your story. The religious beliefs of cowboys…and I was so happy you chose a Uni from my state to illustrate your point. paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

Anyway, ads appearing in the middle of posts is weird.

Sorry! I’ve been messing around with some stuff, and seem to have broken a few things. Ads shouldn’t be appearing within forum posts, and nor should popups. I’m working to get it back to normal. Please bear with me.

Ahhh Girl broke the Lady Madonna thread somehow. 

First her post:

Due to this odd problem, I have to wait 3600 seconds (or 60 minutes) to actually clear a post. 

Did the America/Chicago timezone just have daylight saving, or something?

It fell back from DST. Honestly everyone should get rid of DST. Constant flip flops are no good.

Actually, it hasn’t taken effect yet. It takes effect at 2AM. I live about half an hour away from Chicago and it’s about 1:15AM right now. 

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

This may not be “weird”, but I just noticed a pattern.

If person makes a post that is put into moderation and someone posts after them, the thread title doesn’t appear in red for me to let me know there is a post that needs to be looked at in the thread. That must be how we missed Dark Overlord’s posts recently.

So, if you see a post under moderation for more than a few hours, @ me and/or another mod in the Impossible to Derail thread and tell us which thread has a post under moderation. Thanks in advance for your help.

If a post in moderation @tts a mod, do the mods get a mention?

Well, DO @tt-ed me in one of his posts, and I got the mention notification before the post was cleared, so I presume that means mods get the mention too.

Here’s a weird thing that happens to me: On the main Forum page where you can browse among threads, if you move your mouse pointer over a particular discussion title by somebody, you can see a little box of a preview of the content.  This works for everybody I point my mouse on — except for “Billy Rhythm”.

I use InBrowser for my mobile posting and when I tried to make a post it wouldn’t let me instead showing the twitter bird followed with the word tweet and it wouldn’t let me click anywhere to post which means I had to use my phone’s generic browser in public mode to post this.

If you're reading this, you are looking for something to do.

I was unable to access this site for the last 10 minutes, I got a ‘server IP address could not be found’ error. I was about to set up camp in the backup forum….

Is there a known problem with the markup for lists? If I use un-numbered or numbered lists, the bullet points or numbers don’t show up in posts but the indented formatting remains except for less space between lines. I can roll my own by indenting lines and adding numbers, haven’t tried rolling my own dot point list yet.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Anyone else having issues with the pages loading so slowly, i can count to 20 before each page loads? The text in the bottom corner of the screen saying “waiting for http://www.beatlesbible.com” so there is nothing else going on that I know of.
