something weird happened to me today in the avatar thread
I made an avatar for WearySky, dragged the files into the reply box and hit reply. then, from that thread, I navigated away from BBS for a while. did not go to my profile, went directly to another webpage. did not pass go, did not collect $200 dollars.
when I came back a while later, MY avatar had been changed to the file I gave WearySky. I opened up my profile and switched it back without any issues. But we both had the same avatar for a while, which is pretty wack.
guess Iāll shout out @zogstrip here, too since Iām inferring he made the avatar upload feature?

Discourse isnāt letting me simultaneously bold and italicize that āMYā i wrote up there like it usually does: 
but maybe itāll do it when I post?
Yeah that bold and italic issue is a new parser bug. We changed parsers recently.
The other thing youāre describing sounds like a local-to-your-machine browser file caching freakout, not a Discourse problem.
well, if people suddenly start flagging me because my avatar is one of the images from my pron folder, youāll know what happenedā¦
when I try to post a pic from the web, the URL doesnāt convert to an image like it used to, but not in every case. I noticed it a few days ago and just thought it was a fluke, but it did it again just now for this imageās url:
Did you try just the URL ending in .jpg like so?
<img src='//cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/boingboing/original/2X/7/7b497f27e13c8e77301a4430e411257161e8ec87.jpg'>
If we canāt tell it is an image, e.g. the URL does not end in typical image extensions, we canāt load it.
much obliged. Iām still learning how to internet.
BTW, we fixed the bold and italic bug. Sorry about that!
Just for reference - I actually saw us both with the same avatar, when it happened (sorry, just saw this thread now :))

One wonders: Is it possible to italicize and then bolden one word within? I canāt seem to pull it off. Though I imagine it doesnāt come up too often.
You can bold and italicize a word within.
You can **bold and *italicize* a word within**.
Hmm. But not the converse? Oh, well. Like I said, it would be an uncommon occurrence. I generally italicize titles of books, movies, and television series (while putting the titles of particular episodes and short stories in quotes), and I was trying to emphasize a particular word in a multi-word title.
well, yeah. but not the way you mean:
*Is it possible to italicize and then* **bolden** *one word within?*
Is it possible to italicize and then bolden one word within?
*Is it possible to italicize and then* ***bolden*** *one word within?*
Is it possible to italicize and then bolden one word within?

It looks like there is currently an issue in the responsive sizing for the Discourse āFrom our forumsā area below single posts such that the width is set to an iphone size when viewed on an ipad, so thereās a strange gray āblankā next to it when compared to the width the post is being displayed as. Hereās a screenshot from my Retina iPad 3 using Safari to view the post:
Okay, the system says I can neither upload nor input an image, so youāll have to look for yourself; or ask @beschizza for the image I send him via email a short time ago.
Hereās one; apologies if itās been mentioned before.
When I click on someoneās avatar to send a Private Message, the Private Message button within the pop-up is unresponsive. I have to go to that personās profile first, where the Private Message button works just fine.
Google Chrome Version 29.0.1547.76 m on Windows 8.
I go to my profiles āpostā page ( http://bbs.boingboing.net/users/fireshadow/activity/posts ) and can only see as far back as September 23rd. I see it using both Firefox and Chrome. Is this intentional?
Sorry about this. Iāve fixed it now
