Can you reorder things when you split off a thread?  I could just split all the posts into a separate thread and reorder them that way.
No, threads display posts in order of date/time. There's nothing to change.

Yeah, I found that out the hard way, once.

Y'know, you could just sweep Nanshork under the rug and cannibalize the posts you used to respond to him...

I wouldn't do that to poor old Nans.  I'll just move the feats to the Feats thread and put a link, and steal that post.

Oh, that reminds me, Nanshork. I foreclosed on your mortgage, swindled your parents out of your inheritance, stole your girlfriend, and ran over your dog with my gas guzzling, mega polluting, tricked out SUV/limo/dirigible. I know you don't have a dog, but I bought you one with your swindled inheritance so I could run over it.

Well, I suppose that works too...

How do you run someone over with a dirigible?

Same way you do with an airplane?

You can probably delete whatever post I made.  It probably isn't important.   :P

I still wish I could minimize board groupings. Even just the ability to rearrange them would be useful. But alas.

Main point: Why are the signature limits so tight? 300 characters is tiny. Just put height / annoyingness restrictions and let it be twenty times as many characters.

This can be particularly annoing if one wants to link things to the signature. Not a problem for me at this moment, but it was before I made some adjustments.

Can we add a [highlight] or [bg] tag?  I'd love to be able to change the background color for text without using a table...

The html for it is:
<span style="background-color:{option}">{param}</span>

Or does this already exist?

The SCP was recovered in 01/01/1994, in the village of Anatevka, in the old Soviet bloc.

Looks like it's working fine, and that I don't have to use [Redacted] anymore! Woohoo!

If you quote the message, you still get the original info though.

Could we put a sub-board somewhere for people to post compilation threads & extended signatures?  At the moment I think they're scattered all over the site...
