Glad you are on the mend, Randy.
Hope to see you full bore soon!!

Now can anyone tell me where my old PMs are??
My inbox is apparently full but someone stole it!
This new forum is making me crazy, and convincing me I am going blind, what with all the fade-outs and hidden stuff!!
Lord help me!!!

Me too, but I've also only posted from my PC so far :thumbsup:



Unfortunately, all pre-existing threads have been altered by the recent changes (see http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/changes-to-punctuation-in-old-posts.1487929/) and those which contained punctuation have been been turned into gobbledegook (or in my case Yorkshire gobbledegook). Re-editing them is a painstaking job, and where they contain a lot of images, or are simply long, they can't be re-edited at all

. The Wizard's Quest threads will certainly have been affected, but here are links to the original posts (the earlier ones will have lost their pics, the later ones should still have them):

Bummer. I'm sorry to hear that Jack. My wife and I loved that series of threads.

If you would be so kind, would you start a thread in tech support so that Spark hears about it. Save one of the unfixed threads and provide a link so he can see for himself. No promises, but maybe he can find a fix.
 
I followed the links with success- good days good days.
A new system always has teething troubles.

Don't bust a gut on it, Jack.
Maybe Spark will install a magical transmogrification sub-routine in the software that will fix everything automatically.
Can't say I've looked at the tech support stuff yet myself, though.

[Or, what Knarfeng said.]

Thanks Frank, it's nice to know that you and your wife enjoyed those threads :)

I posted a thread in Technical a couple of days ago - http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/changes-to-punctuation-in-old-posts.1487929/ - Spark had a try for me, but apart from scrambling the punctuation, the problem is that they can't now be re-edited (not all of them anyway) because the maximum size of posts (both words and photos) has been reduced :(

Very sporty Meako! :D :thumbsup:

(Oops, there's the disadvantage of directly linked pics, they don't re-appear when quoted! :eek: Of course not everyone will regard that as a disadvantage! :D :thumbsup:)
 
RIP Leo Baxendale, who helped me learn to read - and taught me a little bit about girls! ;)

 
I still have my Beano Annual 1973.
Leo also created the Bash Street Kids and Little Plum-the Smellyfoot tribe .Their enemies the Puttyfoot tribe all looked like English rugby league front rowers.:D How non PC can yer get?
 
Their nemeses were the Blob St kids.
They were exact doubles except they came from Blob St.
 
+1 for Mary Ann.
I just saw Tina Louise as a Circassian slave girl to Telly Savales's Ichabod Kahn (ancestral leader of the golden horde and head of shadow governments in six countries; unknown to all except Richard Egan as John Stryker, a sort of combination Nalen-Smith/Derek Flint): Fanfare to a Death Scene, 1964, dullest spy thriller ever filmed, I hope. The karate was pretty comical though. And there was a Mongolian knife in it that looked to me like a Balkan jambiya. Ed Asner, JD(?) Cannon (McCloud's boss), Viveca Lindfors, Burgess Meredith(already looking like a wizened elf)...

Oh, well, we're supposed to be off topic here, right?
 
i dont like change,if its not broke,dont fix it,just saw about randy sure hope every thing is fine with him.im gonna go ask around and check on him,thanks all
