There are a fair number of minor annoyances (most of them have been mentioned on this thread) but that one is a big one for me.
My work around is to first copy and paste into MS Word. Then I run a macro that changes the font to Courier New, changes all spaces to hard spaces, and changes all paragraph marks to line breaks, and then automatically copies the code for me to paste to the "plain" IFCode. Except for the annoying occasional happy face (Mr. Peabody and the "Way Back" machine is in full swing), it works well and with only minor aggravation
I've also not been able to use the color changer fonts.

The color changer fonts is an on-and-off problem. Some people can get it to work. Others (like you and me) can't.

Over the weekend, I saw a huge flood of the same kind of spam we were getting in the old forum software; mostly links to current events like football games or other such crap that was supposed to drum up clicks for someone.
I almost bought some furniture, but sanity prevailed.There are an awful lot of sharp guys on the forum, myself included, who could help.

minor annoyance: the email link for old vs new forum posts: new posts have a direct link to unsubscripbe.
old posts have the generic link to all the items you've ever subscribed ot.
if you wanted to unsubscribe from "The Thread" or anything else that popped up because a spam post attached to an eight year old thread,, you might have to go 50 or more pages deep to find the thread and unsubscribe.old style that still comes:
new style

I have twice right-clicked the link above and choose "Open in New Window" and gotten nothing but my home IE screen (which is set to about:blank). Is something going on with these links preventing them from being opened using the right-click menu?

If anyone's testing this, I just looked and am seeing the same in IE11, but getting expected behaviour in Edge, Chrome, FF, and Safari.

That link seems to take you to what ever page you're currently viewing for me. if i go to Page 3, where my post is, the hyperlink is https://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/1849962/SSC-Forum-Updates?PageIndex=3, whereas on this page it's https://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/1849962/SSC-Forum-Updates?PageIndex=7, even though my post (when I edit it), clearly says it's https://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/1849258/Using-a-DR-Script-with-Encrypted-backups. Went a bit funky 😛
Works if I try it again though https://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/1849258/Using-a-DR-Script-with-Encrypted-backups

Yeah, the spam was pretty heavy this past weekend.

IE11 is definitely what I was using (constrained by corporate software policies).

Is something messing with the profile information?
I deliberately changed my website link to http://www.google.com last week (for testing) and this week it's pointing back to a defunct website. I KNOW I didn't restore that information.
Also, I could have sworn I set my timezone to Eastern, but now I can't find the timezone setting anywhere. Any thoughts on to where to find it? My profile thinks it is past 5 p.m. (I wish it was. It would mean that I was done with the day.)

Found the timezones under Forum Settings. And it is set to EST. But it thinks my time is 3:56 p.m.
And then under My Account -> Edit profile details here, I get this (lower right hand corner):
They're not even reflecting the same time, let alone the correct time. Anyone know what's going on?

Hmm. Just an FYI. After posting this, I hovered the mouse over the first image. Message popped up saying "67% of image size, click to enlarge". So I clicked and got a big translucent black screen with a close button but no image. I don't know if this is due to my IE settings or if anyone else is having this problem. Can someone check, please?
- Brandie Tarvin - Monday, January 16, 2017 9:01 AM
Exactly what I'm getting, for both images. That isn't what used to happen. It used to display the same image but at the same size and called it "enlarged".

Another problem discovered. There is no way that I've made 2687 posts in the last 30 days that the "Top Members (Last 30 days)" sub window on the home page says I did.
It appears that the totals on the "Member scores and Standings page" may have have also been affected..--Jeff Moden
