If you want to test posts, links or anything like that you should really do it in the ATMB forum (About This Message Board). Hopefully someone will come along to help you 😉 ---

For the record, I can see the two cute pups. The link is working for me. I’m on Windows 98 with IE 6 if it helps. ---

From the FAQ, found near the top of the “ATMB” forum: > [@](#): > > Q: Why can’t I do (some vBulletin action)? > A: We have disabled the following features at our message board. Some were disabled because they were abused in the past; some because we thought the usage might become abused in the future; some to protect the privacy of our members; some due to site speed considerations; and some for other reasons. Below is a list of disabled features: > > post attachments > e-mail to friend > “rating” threads > editing own posts > deleting own posts > close threads > delete threads > post polls > private messaging > site calendar > viewing who’s online, and IP addresses > avatars > **images in post** > HTML > displaying logged in users > show users browsing fora > Ignoring of moderators > Members list > “shouting” in titles (all uppercase titles) Basically, some people are big fat doodyheads and ruined it for the rest of us. That, and the boards, as you may have noticed, are pretty slow to load, and not everyone wants to sacrifice a decent board speed for a 1024x768 picture of someone’s cats dressed as a clown that they have no choice but to load. ---

Ok… the link worked, but only when I clicked on it and dragged it into the address bar. But if I just open it in a new window it doesn’t work. Have any of you guys tried this? Why does that happen? Running IE5.5 on Windows ME here. ---

What about color? PS - Ignore this one, too. Crimson? AHA! You have to close those tags, too. But the Close All Tags doesn’t do it. Hmmmm… Regards, Shodan
