Can we no longer spy on people? ;)

not easily.  :(  ;)  I miss that feature too! 

there is a workaround... if you are on the main page, scroll all the way to the bottom.  You can click on the little icon next to "users online" and that will show you what everybody is doing.  there is a new little menu that you can change so it is just members only.

at this point, the best way to search the site is to use Google.  on the Google page, you can search for something like 4 month EASY routine site:babywhispererforums.com
Hi Jamie & Tom
I don't know what I'd do without the BW forum - so a BIG thanks for keeping it going.

I thought we were fixing this issue of links not showing there titles but the confusing address...

Examples:

http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=164253.0

All of the EAS samples show an address, not the title of the thread... a little confusing!

There was a time when we could do a link URL and then give it a name, like "linky".

You use the URL tags, and the format is - no spaces inside the []:

[url = insert complete link here] This is where you type what you want the link to look like [/ url]

Below is an actual example:

Code: [Select]
[url=http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?board=82.0]
FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions & Related Information - EASY[/url]

Which gives you:
   
FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions & Related Information - EASY


However, once Tom gets the time I'm sure he'll put the plugin back in place that saves having to type it out in that format.  Personally, I thinks it's helpful for people to know how it's done and then there's no need for a plugin :)
