A few questions.
I am having some trouble copy/pasting my stories from a word document or notepad to the forum. When previewing before posting all of the paragraphs disappear and it is one big jumbled mess; also I am not able to use any of the dashboard options such as bold or italics. What am I overlooking?

The formating gets messed up when you copy and paste from word. I've yet to find a way around it, but a little tweaking to set paragraphs in order, and it's usually good to go. I've never had an issue with the bold or italic text though...

Perhaps a firewall is keeping you from using those options. I always had those problems at my school.

That's a point. I could never get stuff to work properly at college. I always assumed it was just because college had shit computers.
PS. Shawn, are we the only ones alive on the forum? We seem to be the only ones posting all of a sudden. Creepy.

You should've been here earlier. Funny stuff.

Debates with a healthy dosage of ignorance. Fun fun.

Oh, you mean all that rubbish in the "Sean is gone" thread, yeah I tried to sift through that and got bored. I came in rather at the end, and without foreknowledge, but my argument seemed a damn sight better than Lyonidus's. That said, Hodge can be an arse sometimes.

Yeah. I'm refusing to enter that thread, just because I know what it will be like. I'm sure that belongs in quarantine, in the Debate Forum.

I've been a passive reader on those two threads you guys are talking about, and it is amazing the ignorance and - I don't even know what.

I have absolutely no clue either... I did get a little underhanded with that acting bit, though.

I have no idea... I just hope it never happens again. Tedium is a bad thing.
