Ah, so it is, thanks

It would be nice if the developers got rid of the separate http and https buttons and just have one button.

Also, it would be nice if the link appeared where the cursor was instead of at the very end of the messages; cutting and pasting every time you link is annoying.

I'd like to see Hot Deals split up into 2 forums:
Electronic Hot Deals (PC parts, audio/video, all electronic gadgets)
Other Hot Deals (flower codes, clothing sales, non-electronic deals)

I know most of the time i'm looking for a non-electronic hot deal and it's pretty hard to search thru all the PC part threads to see if there is anything non-electronic on sale.

Thats my opinion!

On SD, when you have a sub to a topic and someone posts in it, it sends you the message as well as who posted when you get the sub email. I find it really convenient, since I don't have to go to the thread just to look at one post.

Would it be possible to do that here?

How about the quick summary either:

a) shows up on all pages
OR
b) shows up on the first and last page of a thread?

I think the One Time Use Coupons forum should be available to members only. too many lurkers are using coupons that members are kind enough to post there.

Could the default boxes for HTTP and HTTPS elements be modified not to include http:// and https:// respectively? I am sick and tired of seeing the endless http://http://www... and https://http://www... links pop up and redirect me to microsoft, google or whoever else latched onto those bad URLs. Really, what purpose those stubs serve? They are only useful if you are typing URLs and nobody does that. It is all copy and paste. Even senior members post bad links.

One would think "preview" button would be enough to let people check their crap (excellent, excellent option, BTW). But it seems like many people don't bother.

Of course, better solution would be for board software to check for that and strip the extra http:// or https://, but that is likely more work.

But I think that they should still keep the buttons and add auto linking in addition because many members still use the linking buttions. If they still keep the linking buttons, just make one button that says link (no need for all three). It is a bit annoying to always get redirected to paypal. Also, when was the last time that someone used the mail linking button? I don't remember ever seeing anyone use it.

I second the spell check suggestion!
Use Iespell (with apologies for the non-Windows folks out there).

Yes, you have. ;-)
