<![CDATA[A Quick Question for Those in the Know]]>Maybe I'm just a bit on the slow side, but is there a way to disable the autocorrects that pop up in posts? I mean, if I want to attach a witty modification of someone's name, can I not just come up with one on my own?

Sorry.....I digress sometimes.

It involved some craftiness of certain internet type knowledge, but I won't divulge this little secret without Stan's consent. I like this board, and I want to stick around.

Test - Asshole

Test - xxxx

Damn, it still masked it.

Ok, let's try it the long way...

Asshole

Nope! Good work Stan!

Ah well, anyways, the "secret" was to use html's special characters. You can use a numerical code to type out letters, numbers, and symbols.

% ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ª « ¬ ® ° ± ² ³ µ ¶ ¼ ½ ¾ ÷

There's a whole list of them at: http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/Special_Characters

I'm not sure I completely understand your question. As others spelled out, we occasionally have a mask for someones name, such as the token coach for the old Baltimore Ravens. And we mask harsh profanity, but as long as you aren't within those three or so words, it should be auto-changing it.

That's the thing I was asking about. I'm not crazy about the "masks" (if that's the term for them), and I was wondering if I could set my post settings to avoid them. Since I don't use harsh profanity (I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I can guess) in my posts, I don't think I'm much of a risk on that count either, but rules is rules.

Is there a reason the site is forcing me to log back in every time I'm at a new location? I read from home and at work, and I have to log back in just about every single time.

This only started last week sometime.

I've heard spatterings of a few others having this problem, and I've experienced it a time or too, but I blamed it on a poor (wirless) connection.
