I’m rather interested by this pollution of rec.sport.unicycling
by posts from the unicyclist.com forums. I followed a link from
my post earlier, and spotted that my smilie :o) had been changed
to an embarrased pictogram, because it didn’t understand my big
nose… : o )

Also… there are loads of square-bracket comments appearing like
font, image, b, etc.etc.

Anyone else have comments?

Cheers,

Stu

Looks like my vbcode to text does not work in all cases. Please feel
free to write some php code for me to use and send it my way. :slight_smile:

I’d have thought the simplest way is for people using the forum to not use any of the different fonts or colours unless there’s a good reason… they’re all very nice and that, but most of the time they’re a little unnecessary…
