Faith writes: AbE: Now I've lost all the time and date information. It wasn't posting at the top right -- time page loaded etc. -- and now it's not posting anywhere. Google's on a "mobile friendly" kick, and Google claims the EvC webpages are not mobile friendly, which means we get down-rated in searches. I've been making modifications trying to make them mobile friendly, and one of the casualties was the times in the banner: load time, session begin time, and current time. I hope to add them back in at some point. If you know how to get to your control panel then I can tell you how to find out what OS version you're running. If you have an iPhone be sure to upgrade to iOS 13 - it has a dark mode that will be very easy on your eyes.

The advice going round is to wait a few days for iOS 13.1 which will hopefully fix the worst bugs.

Is that why all the commas in the header?

The Do Nothing button isn't doing nothing today - i.e. it's doing something.
The other things I mentioned were all working fine until a couple of days ago. I always use IE.Maturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the acceptance of ‘not knowing. -- Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

Our chat room supplier, AddonChat, went belly up a while back. The URL continued to be valid, but no chat room would appear. Now even the URL no longer works, the cause of the commas. When I find time I'll find another chat room supplier.

Can't seem to find anything labeled "Control Panel." How about "System" or "Device Manager" or "Computer Management" or "Settings?"

Those are all items in the Control Panel. Click on System and it should show the information.

I've just released new behavior for inserting URLs into messages. A bare URL entered like this into the message box:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/11/10/mercury-cross-front-sun-monday-last-time-until/ Used to be rendered like this:
But is now rendered like this using the actual title of the webpage as the link text:
The same is true when using the [url] dBCode in this way:
[url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/11/10/mercury-cross-front-sun-monday-last-time-until/[/url] The other form of the [url] dBCode where the user provides the explicit link text continues to behave as before. This:
[url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/11/10/mercury-cross-front-sun-monday-last-time-until/]Mercury to Pass in Front of the Sun[/url] Would render like this in the displayed message:
There is one downside: Because fetching webpage titles takes more time, this feature will cause messages with URLs to take longer to preview and post. Please post reactions to this change to this thread.

Why did the new formatting work in Message 33?
But not in Message 34? Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Thank you for finding a bug. I've fixed Message 34. The Get Religion link won't title because they've blocked access from EvC Forum.

I have discovered that Amazon and Facebook detect when it is a website accessing them instead of a browser. Amazon returns "Robot Check" and Facebook returns "Update Your Browser | Facebook". I'm investigating whether there are any solutions. They both have APIs, but there would potentially be more APIs than I could keep up with, e.g., Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Yahoo, etc.
Edited by Admin, : Typo.

I like the change. It gives people an idea of what the link is as opposed to a url that is truncated and meaningless. I rarely use url= because of laziness. This way most links will get a description.
I hope you keep it. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
