Who gives a fuck?

There are two kinds of code that can be used on this board, bbc (bulletin board code), which is stuff that is programmed in to our site to work with brackets...

Example:

Code:

And, we can also use HTML, which is the language the web is programmed in. However, because allowing straight HTML in posts presents all kinds of crazy security risks and random formatting errors, we enclose it in a set of bbc html tags like so:

Code:

[html]thatshityoucopiedfromsomesite'sembedthingy[/html]

Savvy?

I do. I do.   and I typed them up just like that, and yet...  I completely failed.    when I hit post they disappeared and I was left with a gay pride code party like you saw.

<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F29504628"/param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F29504628" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"/embed> </object>  <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/captain-1-1/endless-group-attempts-wav">Endless group attempts.wav</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/captain-1-1">captain-1</a></span>

You need this at the front:

Code:

[html]

and this at the back:

Code:

[/html]

And that turns your gay pride code party into this:

Not sure why those would be disappearing if you were typing them. Maybe you were pasting the other code over them without meaning to?

[Bizarro]

Either way, we got your back. And thanks for sharing the track, good sir.

[captqitn]

I know.  weird right?

Here's exactly what I typed. on that last attempt.  ..and yet... nothing but gay.  :/

NBG.

WHAT THE FUDGE IS EVERYONE DOING THIS WEEKEND?!?!?!?!

[captqitn]

I already tipped my hand.    I'm heading down to Baltimore in a couple hours to do the house inspection  (eep!)


Definitely going to work in some Muppet action with the kiddies  (and maybe Hugo too if my popcorn hunger stays keen).

[Bizarro]

What browser are you using, Eric?

Also, if you go back and edit the post to add the tags, do they disappear again?

[captqitn]

I'm using IE8   (no snickering.. no choice at work)

Yep, I just tried modifying and they disappeared again.

No big plans this weekend. Probably go shrimp fishing after work and then sit around reading and watching whatever streaming Netflix flicks I can find.

Sounds nice and mellers.   Whats at the top of the book pile?

I just noticed last night that Being Human (the british one) is streaming on Netflix. I'd watched the first episode a while ago, liked it a lot, and then got distracted by other things. So I watched a couple of episodes last night, Ei watched one too and seemed to like it. It's easy enough to track things down on the torrents, but it really is so much simpler when things stream on Netflix

We're heading out to Eileen's pa's place again this weekend (third weekend in a row—half marathon foolowed by Thanksgiving) as Ei's brother Joe and his fam are coming in for a Christmas visit early this year. So C will get to play with her cousins and I'll get to relax and drink Jack Daniels.
