This is a brand new item.

Hopefully it will say something that will invite the response
of others.  It sets the tome (oops, I meant "tone" ;-) for a
discussion to follow.

16 responses total.

This is the first response.

Ideally all responses will follow the topic of the item, which
was set by the author.  However, it is not unusual for various
people to respond and pick up on various threads of conversation.

This is the second response.

Even though I changed by name from "Carl T. Miller" to
"Anonymous," my userid (carl) did not change.  This allows
responders to be playful in their responses.

Everything has worked smoothly.  I'll bet that an administrator
could customize the pages.  Perhaps remove the "Unseen," "Hide"
and "Erase" buttons, or include more descriptive alternate text
for the buttons.

Everything has worked smoothly so far, but I am about to throw a monkey wrench into your best-laid plans.

What do you think of that?

I think that your monkey wrench looks more like a grex logo than anything else. Now THIS is a monkey wrench!

GRANDMA PUTT'S SPRING LAWN TONIC

• 1 cup epsom salts
• 1 cup ammonia
• 1 cup Listerine ™ mouthwash
• 1 cup liquid dish soap
• 1 cup beer

Question for Backtalk users: Do you see a "trademark" symbol in the
third list item of the previous response? If so, what platform and
browser are you using? Netscape 4.05 for Linux just shows the raw HTML
entity.

Netscape 4.06 on Win95 shows the HTML entity.

Besides, I'm not sure that's the right code for trademark.  I know 
copyright is © (©) but I'm not sure about trademark.

and copy and ampersand didn't work either, but that's because I forgot to switch to HTML mode.

Let's try again.

© (©)

it worked

I think, ™ only works on IE. But ™ should work on both Netscape and IE.

• ™ prints as ™
• ™ prints as ™

Hmmm Netscape does do &#153; but it only prints it as [tm]. It doesn't superscript it in small caps. Maybe we could do better by doing Listerine<SUP>TM</SUP>, which gives Listerine^TM.

this may not be the right item, but:

is there any way of limiting the size of an image that will show up in
backtalk? If not, are there anyplans t make an FW configurable option
for this?

No and no.

That would actually be somewhat hard to do.  Normally Backtalk never
looks at the images - it just tells your browser to fetch them.  I'd
have to implement an http client inside backtalk (which normally only
does http server stuff) so it could fetch a copy of the image and see
how big it is.  It would probably have to do this not only at the time
the message was posted, but periodically later, because someone could
post a small image and then later substitute a large image.

On the whole, this isn't easy to do.

ohh well, it was a thought
