Well I sure as shit haven’t been visiting trump or Hannity websites, so explain that one. 

Well that's how cookies work. Don't know what else to tell you there, champ.

More like the internet has a perverse sense of humor. Some days it just decides it's "let's fuck with Orange" day

Hey @mugtang, why are we now required to put our email address in to start a topic?  I hope this isn’t going into some marketing database. 
 

Also, when I put my email in, it said it was already in use by another user and asked if I needed to reset my password? 
 

Thet person is obviously me.  Not sure why this is bogging down the process. 
 

Thanks for all you do. 

When you type in www.wcsboard.com and not www.mwcboard.com, it fixes the problem. 😀

It's the AI fucking with us. It looks at words or phrases we use and then assumes we like those things. 

It's instructive to read the reviews on something on Amazon. They have an AI author a blurb summarizing the reviews and will have "mixed" responses in which all the quoted reviews actually like the parameter and there's nothing mixed other than the checked boxes on some things.

@mugtang do we need 3 banner ads on the bottom of the page stacked on top of each other?

I’m working to get that resolved. But no.  It has to be some sort of system glitch.  For the record that’s likely the only ad unit I will have enabled because it pays really well. Maybe one more but that’s it.

@mugtang What's going on with embedding tweets lately?

Not sure.  Let me look into it.

So, any update on this?

I posted a tweet and it embedded just fine. For shits and giggles I tried it again and it wouldn't do it. Fucking weird. 

I tried this tweet:

https://x.com/GaryGrumbach/status/1854224041374020075

And I got this message:

The link could not be embedded because there is no tweet at that URL.

Any chance of getting Bluesky posts to embed?

The next forum update, 4.7.20, is supposed to have it. We're running 4.7.19 right now. I think .20 should also fix the Twitter embed issues we have currently, but I'm not certain.
