    (Ganl, it's the other way round)

    In html posts if you want links to work out, write them as html?

    <a href="http://link.destination">link text click here</a>

    Hi all, I too will miss ebuild and its wealth of knowledge.
    I've just started my journey, and revised all my plans after reading posts on there.
    Stuff I didn't know - insurances yes for the site but for others, I'm a sparks and have my own! Notices to go up for public - Health and Safety etc etc

    Many thanks to tofast4u for his offer of keeping ebuild archive alive.
    I'm sure it meant with the best intentions

    That's another good reason to have autoplay disabled.

    OK, I'm impressed.

    I tried span onclick and button elements earlier and the forum just ate them. So what did you do?

    PS: Ah, something to do with missing out the slashes before the authority section of the URL. Also, https rather than just http. Something to do with the forum software trying naïvely to treat references as relative URL?

    https://edavies.me.uk/blog/

    How's that work, then?

    I think someone's messed with the URL parsing in the past, because vanilla doesn't normally make this much of a hash of things.. The anchor version is a bit of abuse, dropping the slashes seems to stop the parser from mangling it up, and then we rely on Chrome and Firefox being able to go there even though the url is malformed. Interestingly the same technique doesn't work for http so the destination site has to support https.
    IE is more of a pain in the arse, doesn't like the missing slashes so I had to hit it another way..
    That one is a "protocol relative" url, a seldom used feature of the spec whereby if you start a url wih double slashes the browser will keep you in the same protocol when travelling to the nominated host.. Seldom used because I guess few sites are dual http/https with a requirement to keep the user in whatever they chose when sending them away. Most sites these days are either http or force redirect to https. It's another case where it seems to confuse the parser enough to leave it alone as a form action, though not in the case of hrefs alas.. Perhaps styling the button to look like a link would then work, but I was hoping for a simple solution that anyone could use without writing an acre of html.. Fixing the parser would probably be easier

    So does this:

    Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas
    Cos' turkeys just wanna hav fun
    Turkeys are cool, turkeys are wicked
    An every turkey has a Mum.
    Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas,
    Don't eat it, keep it alive,
    It could be yu mate, an not on your plate
    Say, Yo! Turkey I'm on your side.

    I got lots of friends who are turkeys
    An all of dem fear christmas time,
    Dey wanna enjoy it, dey say humans destroyed it
    An humans are out of dere mind,
    Yeah, I got lots of friends who are turkeys
    Dey all hav a right to a life,
    Not to be caged up an genetically made up
    By any farmer an his wife.

    Turkeys just wanna play reggae
    Turkeys just wanna hip-hop
    Can yu imagine a nice young turkey saying,
    'I cannot wait for de chop',
    Turkeys like getting presents, dey wanna watch christmas TV,
    Turkeys hav brains an turkeys feel pain
    In many ways like yu an me.

    I once knew a turkey called........ Turkey
    He said "Benji explain to me please,
    Who put de turkey in christmas
    An what happens to christmas trees?",
    I said "I am not too sure turkey
    But it's nothing to do wid Christ Mass
    Humans get greedy an waste more dan need be
    An business men mek loadsa cash'.

    Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
    Invite dem indoors fe sum greens
    Let dem eat cake an let dem partake
    In a plate of organic grown beans,
    Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
    An spare dem de cut of de knife,
    Join Turkeys United an dey'll be delighted
    An yu will mek new friends 'FOR LIFE'.

    Well then it is about time something was done about the ridiculous posting categories we have on here - one of E Build's huge strengths was that it was well organised. I am sure their file hierarchy isn't copyright protected. I vote for an immediate change to the E built structure (with minimum changes) and just dump all the existing threads on an 'Old' category.

    Ah - that's what the problem is, now I understand why I can never find, "Solar Thermal Installations", "Extreme DIY for Thrifties", "Crawlspace Renovation", or "Ad hoc concrete News"

    (hope this does not get me banned...)

    My vote would be to just ignore the categories and post everything in “General” with, maybe, a few in “Members only”. There's usually so much topic drift anyway that it's difficult to remember where a thread started.

    Ebuilds sub sub sub forum organisation was a nightmare - far too many, made mobile nav horrendous. "Plumbing" would have been fine, no need for "kitchen plumbing", "bathroom plumbing", "WC plumbing", "outside plumbing", "underground plumbing", "appliance plumbing"..

    After all, when building a house, one just calls a plumber. One doesn't call in a separate tradesman to do the kitchen pipes vs the bath pipes..

    Steamy, funny.. Sometimes I think that about the stats posts. I also thought that about s link someone posted in the fag smoke nuisance thread, went off to some site where they were talking about white noise and smoke but I hadn't hit a clue what was going on. I think it was a video game, but couldn't be sure

    Was it something I said!

    I agree, the posting categories on ebuild tended to be over complicated.

    It will be interesting to see if the new site has an archive of the old posts!

    it's interesting to see that eBuild is still getting around 150 visitors each 30 minute period. From what I've seen this figure has remained about the same during the 3 weeks since Dave stopped (ex)members posting.
