State of PBH - A poll

Fancy new Webby - Thanks Peter. One never knows what will happen these days.

I see ManLred and GIB are back and no sign of POW WOW. The format has changed and I can't type a plus sign.

Overall things seem to be the same here. Can anyone comment on the direction of PBH going forward? I don't have tons of time right now to dig into the site but I'm wondering in a nutshell what features are gone and what has been added and how the overall tone of the site has prospered. Can we still search only PBH? Can we still post photos and embed them in a post? Thanks in advance for your comments.

I had my doubts about the new PBH at it's introduction, but I am kind of liking it now.

That plus sign comment made me wonder. There should be six of them above. If they don't display something is goofy - is the software reading it as some kind of command?

Tinto (Moderator) says on Jul 4, 2007, 10:04:

You're right! The software removes the plus signs.

Peter (Moderator) says on Jul 4, 2007, 10:19:

Damn software removing our signs! I shall take this software outside and give it a good talking to!

Yeah, perhaps you could tell it " Be nice says the monkey!"

Or maybe Peter is a subversive. First he takes away our plus signs, hoping we won't notice. Then it's a lesser used consanant like "K" or "X." When he starts taking away vowels...we're all doomed.

Peter (Moderator) says on Jul 4, 2007, 10:35:

kat, if you write a plus sign (try it), it doesn't show up. Which leads me to test:
plus:
minus: -
equals; =
underscore _
bigger than: >
smaller than:

Peter (Moderator) says on Jul 4, 2007, 10:35:

Weird. Will have to look into that.

I didn't know, maybe because I've never use them anyway :)

It took a little getting use to the change, but the change is refreshing.
Maybe better things ahead for PBH.

y, un mil gracias.

Peter-I noticed when sucessfully making a Link Hot it then disappears a few posts later and appears like a non hot black link. What is causing this, a link to go cold? Also are going to add a preview/edit function?

Peter (Moderator) says on Jul 5, 2007, 05:10:

What's causing that is me working on the site.. sorry! In other words that was a temporary bug.. links should be always hot now...
