He was never cold to me. He actually remembers my test results by heart when I call to check in, and he's always been perfectly polite and kind.

🙏 🙏 🙏

Just don't bother trying to book an appointment—his practice is completely full. 😉

A few other people have run into this exact same issue.
I'll let them know you're stuck and ask the admin to take a look and see what's going on.

Sandra Wood45 said:Well, here I am again. 👋

So why didn't you tell me to clear my cookies earlier? 😕

I did, but I thought you meant your browser was set to not save them at all, not that you had just cleared them out manually. 😉

Sandra Wood45 said:I don't even have any cookies left (except for myself 😉 )

I’d actually suggest keeping them enabled 🙂

Reddit uses cookies to remember you; if you've got your settings dialed to block them, the site will just ask you to log in every single time because it won't recognize who you are...

Clear out your cookies, temp files, and all that junk.
If you're on an old-school dial-up connection, just make sure your session isn't timing out while you're idling.

Some questions just seem to loop indefinitely. Honestly, I’m feeling too lazy to address them all over again. 😬 I figured I'd put this tutorial together so I don't have to keep repeating myself. Moving forward, I'll just drop the link if anyone asks again. 🥳

How do I bold text?
Just wrap **the text you want to bold** like this.
What you get: The text you want to bold.

How do I italicize text?
Just drop the text you want me to slant right here.
You get: The text you want to tilt.

How do I underline text?
Just type: the text you want to underline
What you get: The text you want to highlight.

How do I change the font size?
The text you want to shrink
You get: The text you want to shorten.

Option 1 shrinks the text, option 2 keeps it at the standard size, and everything else just scales it up. 🙂

How do I change the font color?
Just type: the text you want to color
You get: The text you want to colorize.

Instead of just saying red, you could use blue, yellow, green, pink, purple, violet, brown, or white. You can also just use HTML hex codes—they look like this: #993399. Each one starts with a hash followed by a six-character combination. At this link. You can find just about any color you want; just pick your favorite and swap out the color name for its hex code. 🙂

How do I quote someone?
You wrote:

the text you're quoting

What you get:

The text you're quoting.

When you quote someone, you'll need to write their name yourselves before the quote. If you just hit the automatic quote button at the end of a post, the forum generates a layout like this:
Nick says:
text you're quoting

It actually looks like this:

Nick said:The text you’re quoting.

Feel free to imitate them if you like, or just credit the person before you quote them.

How do I add an email address?
You can reach me at my email address.
You get: My email address.
Writing an email address this way triggers the user's mail client automatically with the recipient field already filled out. Of course, you could also just write it out normally like any other text.

How do I create a hyperlink with custom display text?
You can write it like this: Website Name
You get: Page title

🙏
Printing hadn't even crossed my mind! 🙏

I haven't found any other way myself. Maybe try bumping it up to 40 posts per page; that might help. 😉

Fine, you write a script that can distinguish between a "smart" search term and a "dumb" one, then present it to Anderson.

Until then, for those who aren't savvy enough to use any other search method besides the Reddit search bar, here you go:

INXS

depeche mode

👋

ruggedmarlin15 said:You can roll your eyes all you want, but I’ve given you plenty of examples where I won’t get any extra results, so your argument about there being "too many results" doesn't hold water. Searching for "INXS" isn't going to yield more hits than searching for "Depeche Mode." Honestly, I think you're missing the point.

The reason you won't get more is because the feature is disabled. It's disabled specifically because otherwise, you *would* get too many results. If this were an American forum... and someone searched for the word with, what would happen? Millions of hits. Even Google skips over words like "with"!

Another thing is, there's no way to predict whether you'll be searching for INXS or just the word "with."

Go ahead and try searching for "Depeche" without "Mode" and see what happens. Problem solved.

ruggedmarlin15 said:Word length has nothing to do with frequency. Especially since the server doesn't scan every single variation of a word.

No?
Of course it does. Words like much, but, or or show up much less often than a word like geography. It's simple—they do. A bunch of conjunctions, adverbs, and prepositions have fewer letters than a word like synonym.

Sure, dogs and math might appear with equal frequency, but the words used most often to build sentences tend to be short.

ruggedmarlin15 said:You've certainly proven your "intelligence."
If only they made you the administrator and god of gods.

Oh, I'll pass, thanks. Being an admin on one forum is plenty; two would be overkill. 😢

ruggedmarlin15 said:So, if I ask about Cuba, INXS, U2, Live Aid, or anything else, I get absolutely nothing instead of helpful answers. I was looking for an actual discussion, not just nonsense. It is what it is.

🙄

Give it another read—that feature is disabled because it would flood the server with too many results. Imagine if someone searched for "Anne" and the site pulled up every single word containing those letters!

You didn't get nonsense; you got a suggestion to use Google. If you can't see the value in that, well, that’s on you.

Greeting,

Desirée 👋 👋

Searching for terms under five letters just isn't an option; you end up with way too many results to actually be useful.
Just head over to Google, type in Reddit + Live 8, and search from there. 😉

Just shoot a DM to one of the mods and ask them to walk you through it.

Taylor Swift said:So, what does "wipe" actually mean here?

Just clear everything out. If we're talking about wiping a subforum, it means deleting all the threads. If it's a user, it means scrubbing all their posts. 😉

This user's inbox is currently full, so they can't receive any private messages until they clear some space. An email notification has been sent to them regarding this. Please try sending your message again a bit later.

Shoot me a PM once you see this 😉

Anytime 🙂
👋

hope that helps 😁

Imgur.com (just click the link to head over there)

• Once the page loads, look for the circled BROWSE button and give it a click. From there, you can hunt down the specific image you want to share on the forum. Once you’ve found it, select the file and hit UPLOAD (marked with an arrow)
  
  
• Just hang tight while the window updates. You'll see a thumbnail of your uploaded image (indicated by the arrow) along with four different snippets of code. Grab the one labeled IMG (circled), copy the whole thing, and paste it directly into your post.
  
  >
• And that's pretty much it! Your image should now be visible in your post 🙂 (my own photo ended up looking tiny like this—it wasn't Imgur's fault, so I'd suggest resizing your images to about 500 or 600 pixels wide before you upload them)
  

Michael Jones23 said:really? then I must be an outsider 😎

I've never had one either, whether on medication or 😉

The balance sheet said:but apparently, that’s just standard for women on the pill. I haven't even started taking them yet.

I have black hair. I hear that’s common among certain demographics. I am not part of that demographic.

I mean, LOL 😁

If you're positive you aren't pregnant, it could be PCOS, a cyst, delayed ovulation pushing back your period, or just a hormonal imbalance.

Either way, it's usually more concerning if your period is late and you *aren't* pregnant than if it's actually due to pregnancy. 😉

Go see a doctor.
