Yes, I too recall blink and marquee working.
Waaaay back in the dark ages of the forum, noob me got into a thread.
Noob me used italics.
I neglected to close my tag.
The thread, from there, devolved into random open tags and thread slashing.
[Marquee and blink if memory serves.]
Well, Cyber came by, and tracked me down as the source of the italics.
I got depth charged.
*LOL, ouch*
He then, after stomping me good, told me how to keep my html clean.
But that thread... almost seventy five posts of “Italics OFF!” and “bold OFF!” among other things.
Somebody else changed the font size in there.
What a mess that was.
And CGEB... with the rainbow script.
*Shudder*
Lol, fun times! Just imagine if javascript worked! I DID find a little ‘script’ that works - just recently, and was surprised. Haven’t made use of it yet, but it’s non threatening....haha
I....”stomped”.....you???
Sir, I protest!
Everyone has a tale of woe... about a week after I got the nerve to sign up (lurked since ‘98) I got sideways with A+Bert when he was *ahem* “under the weather” and he tore me a new one.
