Probably got lost somewhere in the morass of this 1993-ish html code.
I love this site, but seriously -
- no mobile app
- no links to ANY social media sites
- clunky old HTML tags required to do simple things such as bolding/italicizing text. And forget about inserting a picture.

C’mon Jim - It’s 2014.

I think it is superior to any other forum i have posted on. Here there is no "your posting is awaiting moderation," or post 50 times before you can include a link, or small comboxes (you can drag corners to enlarge the ones here) and the posts are far easier to see than many others, and you can easily find what is being replied to, and all your posts (though increasing the number on one page would be helpful) .

And FR does not have extensive forum content rules, and mods are far far less censorious then most one's i have found - unless you post contrary to being a pro-God site.

But here unlike many other forums you have freedom to use html coding, and also can easily post preformatted html (just selected text in Firefox, right click and choose View selection source, and copy and paste).

And if like me, you know little html and have arthritic fingers, use the BBCodeXtra F extension, and write your own custom scripts to paste as whatever or format selected text.

And forget about inserting a picture.

Why is that a problem?

And also unlike many other forums i have been on, here you can also numerous ping others, and see replies to just each post.

And do not need to sign in thru Facebook/Google, etc. and can use an alias.
