dencyguy Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Maybe I'm just a bit on the slow side, but is there a way to disable the autocorrects that pop up in posts? I mean, if I want to attach a witty modification of someone's name, can I not just come up with one on my own? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis The only one I know of is that if you type the name of the former coach of the Baltimore Ravens, it correctly spells it Brian Asshole Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riceloft Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Is there a reason the site is forcing me to log back in every time I'm at a new location? I read from home and at work, and I have to log back in just about every single time. This only started last week sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read from home and at work, and I have to log back in just about every single time. This only started last week sometime. I've heard spatterings of a few others having this problem, and I've experienced it a time or too, but I blamed it on a poor (wirless) connection.

As others spelled out, we occasionally have a mask for someones name, such as the token coach for the old Baltimore Ravens. And we mask harsh profanity, but as long as you aren't within those three or so words, it should be auto-changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencyguy Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not sure I completely understand your question. As others spelled out, we occasionally have a mask for someones name, such as the token coach for the old Baltimore Ravens. And we mask harsh profanity, but as long as you aren't within those three or so words, it should be auto-changing it. That's the thing I was asking about. I'm not crazy about the "masks" (if that's the term for them), and I was wondering if I could set my post settings to avoid them. Since I don't use harsh profanity (I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I can guess) in my posts, I don't think I'm much of a risk on that count either, but rules is rules.

Geech Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 There was a way around it on the old board, and many boards throughout the internet, for that matter. It involved some craftiness of certain internet type knowledge, but I won't divulge this little secret without Stan's consent. I like this board, and I want to stick around. Test - Asshole Test - xxxx Damn, it still masked it. Ok, let's try it the long way... Asshole Nope! Good work Stan! Ah well, anyways, the "secret" was to use html's special characters. You can use a numerical code to type out letters, numbers, and symbols. % ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ ® ° ± ² ³ µ ¶ ¼ ½ ¾ ÷ There's a whole list of them at: http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/Special_Characters -Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
