Yes, people actually do that. Try Message 182. It doesn't actually blink, but only because AdminJar turned of the blinking blink.edit - added: It's the bold face all upper case text about 1/3 the way down.This message has been edited by nwr, 10-22-2005 02:53 PM

I actually think firefox is right to show the blinking.If people to create really horrible web pages, we should allow web surfers to see how really horrible they are. The browser should not be in the business of concealing it.

It might be useful to have a code for usernames. It could be similar to the "msg" code to identify messages. But, instead of generating a link to the message it would generate the name of the author of that message in the form of a link.One benefit is that, as users change their primary names by adding aliases, this code would enable you to always refer to the currently chosen primary name.

Impeach Bush.

This is most likely a categorization of IP addresses with badly broken reverse DNS. That is, due to incompetence somewhere, the rDNS associates the IP address with a name that ends in "in-addr.arpa".

Allow relative links in the [url=] dBcode.If I want to reference a message, but use my own text, I can currently do something like
[url=http://www.///cgi-bin/dm.cgi?action=msg&f=19&t=220&m=204#204]the text I wish to display[/url]However, I would like to be able to use
[url=/cgi-bin/dm.cgi?action=msg&f=19&t=220&m=204#204]the text I wish to display[/url]The reason for this is that some users login to www. while others login to . This can cause problems for users, if the way they login is different from what is in the link. A relative link avoids this.I can use standard HTML tags
the text I wish to display
for relative links, but the dBcode version does not appear to work.
