Hi fellow Posters.

I noticed today that most (all?) HTML extensions now seem to have been disabled on this website, intentionally I assume.

We will have to live life in bland monochrome from now on, it seems.

Consequently, this site may be a little less fun.

How sad :(

I'm not sure how disabling such things will prevent or moderate any thoughtless rudeness and spurious posts that crop up on this site; IP address blocking might have gone some way towards that, but I have no idea if this has also been done.

All the best!

JimC,

Just tried some and,alas,you are right. Poor old Les40 no sooner masters making a link and it's stopped. The way things are going it might soon be time to abandon ship methinks.

I can't understand what harm Les's link could do.

I think it is a shame.

It was a "big society" idea....crosswords by the people, for the people....eh not that I am a "Condemnation" lover.

Not a happy Bunny.

pastille,
it's all gone a bit weird like 'Brazil'(the movie).

Lez40's links should still be ok,it's just the ones that used html that have largely gone,tho not all of them.not yet.
that suggests that somebody is removing the links manually and i don't think 'Ash' would take the time to do that himself.
if somebody has been delegated to "sort it out", imposing new rules that we have to guess is quite interesting.
i liked this site as it was,with all the crap,it's a shame that it's had its wings clipped,and presumably lost its balls.

Thanks for the explanation Terry.

I don't know my HTML's from my UNO?

I agree, love this site as it is, with no middling from whoever.

By the way Brazil is my "mans" favourite film.

Trevor - re your post 4: worried about the idea that having your wings clipped leads to the loss of your balls. Slip of the scalpel?
