I suppose it would be just as "distasteful" to do it that way as the way it's typically done. Oh well, it doesn't matter, I just wanted to see how it would look.

Linking to a specific post:

That way the person you pass the URL to doesn't have to dig down through a long thread to find a specific post.

In use: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/html/msg0914532914443.html?17#GWC PostTitle11

Just an observation but looking at the result, I can tell it refers to reply number 11 of 17 in the target thread(at the time the URL was constructed). A possible snag would be... if a preceding reply gets deleted, does the URL break?

RE: Checking for the presence of adblocker.

Edited the CSS sheet that does the image hover switcher above to include the tweaks I do using the Firefox add-on "Stylish". Only for my tired old welder eyes. I have not checked in IE or Chromium yet but it looks okay to me on my 16x9 monitor, gets rid of a lot of the dead space.

I still don't have the header width matching properly. CSS is new to me and I'm scatter brained right now so... good enough for now. :)

Long image URL, will it break apart at 70 chars too?


 o
Again.

Only difference is this time I edited to include this text. A space appears to be added after the triple-e's and the c in the full size URL and between the c and 1 in the thumb URL.

It does seem that the longest continuous block ends up being 70 chars after the edit, breaking the links.

RE: Checking for the presence of adblocker.

Hehe, it adds another unwanted space every time I edit it. Oh well, beyond me, maybe a variable with a 70 char size is truncating elements? That or Gremlins.

RE: Checking for the presence of adblocker.

When I was perhaps 12-14 years old, a friend and I went back to the head of the holler behind his house to... explore... swing on our grape vines... whatever and as we neared the holler we saw a big black cat jump up the side of a tree and climb on up, but the details are foggy. We quickly canceled our foray and headed back to his house. I suppose we probably told his parents, brother, whatever, I don't remember but I "think" we were believed because there were tails of a black panther, and although I can't say I personally ever remember hearing it, my dad said he had heard it screaming back in the woods before.

Years went by, I moved away to work, never really spoke of it again, at least not to anyone from around there that would know. As the years passed, doubts crept in, did we really see it? Was it really a panther? Was it just OUR joint imaginations? :)

Many years later I moved back "home", took a temporary position, and mentioned it to a guy at work. "Sure, that must have been back in late 60's" he said, and "so-and-so finally shot that thing after it got in his chickens" he said.

It was good to know that it really wasn't just our imaginations.

That was so long ago though that it seems more like a dream, and it wasn't really a panther/cougar, at least not an American one. It was some exotic African(?) panther that someone had and it got loose, at least that's what I think the guy said.

So the little Bobcat in the photo above, sitting on the far bank of the little canal, watching me watch/photograph it, was kinda like a first for me. Sorta like the first truly wild big cat I've ever seen(in the wild that is). This thing even waited patiently after I spotted it while riding bike for me to go home, grab my camera, jump on the scooter and go back to take it's picture. It looked so... tame? Of course I know it's not and I wouldn't want to mess with it. I don't know if it lives nearby or was just passing though.

Whether using the form &#123; or &lcub;, I still can't get a curly bracket past "preview".
