I can use
[qs=Admin] quoted stuff [/qs]
to quote text. But apparently I cannot use
[qs=[mbrid=356]] quoted stuff [/qs]

Yet it seems to me that citations are where it is most important to reference a user in a way that is adaptive to users changing their names.

You put in a link to the style sheet.

I read the email. If my mail software loads the style sheet, then it has possibly just informed a spammer that I exist and that I am dumb enough to open spam email.

Thanks for the information that outlook is spam-friendly. That's just one more reason not to use outlook.

May I suggest that you avoid doing things in ways that require spam friendly email software.

What happens when a non-admin clicks on "swap"?

It takes me to the "All Topics" page. Yes, it is clickable.

I don't actually see a point to having that link visible, except perhaps to people with linked accounts.

I agree with "click icon" or similar wording.

And, for the benefit of Apothecus, it works the same way in firefox as in IE8. When I couldn't click on the message, I tried clicking the red minus (the icon) and that worked.

Dr Adequate writes: It should open in a new tab, not a new window.

Yes, I agree with that. Clicking on "peek" does it properly.

To expand on the point raised by Dr Adequate, in my tab settings for firefox I have set the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead". And that works for lots of things, including when I click on the "peek" button. But it does not work with the announcement, which apparently is forcing a new window in spite of my preference.

I see the same thing. No matter which user I select, it picks out only my own posts.

Back when I was an Admin, I would find that if I had a page open to the site, but had not been active at the site for a while (over 30 minutes), then if I first went to the control panel link before reading the forum pages, I would continue to use the old "session began" time.

Now that I am no long an admin, I can get the same effect a different way. If I visit the site on my laptop, that will show a new "session began time". But if I then visit the site from my desktop, I see the old "session began time" from yesterday or whenever.

Presumably it has to do with when old cookies are believed instead of being updated.

As far as I can tell, this is of no consequence at all. But you could try playing the game of "how long can I maintain that old session" if you want to experiment with it.

jar writes: What "Essential Links item in the top menu"?

It seems to be near the top of the "All Forums" page.

I rarely visit that page, so I had to go looking in order to find it.

I swear, there's some sort of "ghost in the machine" helping out.

That's no ghost. That a wild moose running loose

The failing IE is running in compatibility mode.

Turn off compatibility mode, and it will work. I think that is remembered as a per-site setting.

Who'd have thunk it - compatibility mode is incompatible.

There's a little icon that looks like a broken page at the very top the the IE browser window.

If that icon is missing, then check internet options. They could be set for compatibility mode for all sites.
