Oh, but I submitted and then am able to post straight away. Weird.

She's our egg, our millennium egg.

I was thinking about them today whilst eating a normal egg, wondering
whether or not I'd be able to eat one were one offered. They look gross,
of course, which can't help the gag reflex, but the descriptions of how
they taste, whilst also gross, make me wonder how you'd describe how a
normal boiled egg tastes which I think would make them sound pretty
gross too even though they are amazing.

Mod74

Unfertilised chicken ovaries.

I'm keen to try one, if only for the difference in texture. S'pose I could make one myself... I'll get back to you.

Skerret

Cheers mod.

Mod74

The ones that didn't live, if you will.

Skerret

Still not really helping.

Elmlea

What's a favicon?

Skerret

The little icon beside the url in the url field of your browser, also on any open tab with B&B in it. Also in your bookmarks.

Elmlea

Ah, I found it :)

Ok. Starting to have a few issues with the mobile site now.
Rubber banding is happening 9 times out of 10, a refresh of the page sorts it, but it's difficult to get the page to stay put long enough to hit the button.
I've had two occasions now where the page has spazzed out completely and the only way to fix it was to close the web app completely and then re-load.
The two times it happened are:
in the 'How do I' thread where I clicked for older posts. Rubber banding was present in this and may be the main contributing factor.
And in the 'Kids' thread, with Elm's post. Think the re-sizing of his pictures at the same time as rubber banding might have caused it.

This is pretty fantastic. What a top bloke.

Unlikely

So this is where you all hide when I'm in the other forums. As per the IE problems thread, whatever Petey's done seems to have fixed the issues I was having. Might be good it others could post their current experiences in that same thread.

Er.

Skerret

I queried that, privately.

Mod74

Are they not? I always thought they were, but admit chicken biology isn't my specialist subject.

Unlikely

The ovaries are what produce and release the ova. You don't want to squirt out your ovaries by accident.

Well, you might, but you can't, because you don't have any. I hope.

Mod74

Ahh, gotcha.

Did I mean Ovum? Or Ova?

Unlikely

No, you meant ova. Ovum is singular.

Mod74

Unfertilised chicken ova.

Get em down ya Skezza

Not sure if this has been suggested (filter lolblocking random pages) but a nice centralised Userlist would be most fly.

Skerret

YES

That's what I'm trying to build, unfortunately, some people are refusing to add their details because they claim to be free, or somesuch nonsense.

Raiziel

It's looking a bit corporate up top. Given the name of the place we should have one of our talented artists knock up a pub sign to stick up there.

Yossarian

I was thinking maybe giving the background a bit of a Damask-type background with lighter and darker maroon might help give it a bit more of a pub feel.

Brooks

Don't gimmick it up, fellows.

Yossarian

I reckon a slight pattern in the background wouldn't overly-gimmickise it. Although it is nice the way it is.

Sasukekun

Let's not get picky over visual aesthetics eh?

Making sure all posting functions work correctly and that the site works ok for everyone should be tip top priority.

Raiziel

A pub sign will automatically make everyone's forum dreams come true.

Petey

Images are now slightly less annoying in their resizing-ways. Will probably add a nice "lightbox" type thing at a later date.

Work continues on a new editor - as Unlikely says, it seems to resolve the IE issues. It currently isn't WYSIWYG (like this one), so it's very much like the old style of having to format posts with square bracket tags around everything. However, it looks supremely easy to add new buttons / tags - took me all of 10 minutes to add in left/center/right alignment buttons, and there's loads I haven't even looked into yet. Planning on putting that live come the weekend. It may mess up some older posts if you go to edit/quote, which I can only imagine would affect Yoss really - I'll see what I can do to alleviate pain in that respect.

Howdy, Stranger!
