Still working on it.

I think Coran's Friendship Mod and Garrick's Infatuation forums being part of EET subforums is a mistake.

That's... interesting.  Fixed.

Also, there is a lot of external scripts/graphics etc. imbedded: fonts.googleapis.com, secure.gravatar.com, fonts.gstatic.com, i.imgur.com, content.invisioncic.com, twemoji.maxcdn.com, www.shsforums.net (the last one sounds especially dubious ), are we sure we need all of those and they do not grab info they are not supposed to pass on?

That stuff is all legitimate and enabled deliberately.  They're not tracking cookies.  If you're concerned about what Google does when you request fonts, check out their FAQ.

fonts.googleapis.com    // Google Fonts 
fonts.gstatic.com       // Google Fonts

secure.gravatar.com     // service used to fetch avatars
twemoji.maxcdn.com      // service used to handle emoji

content.invisioncic.com // forum content

The requests you saw to i.imgur.com and www.shsforums.net are probably due to content in specific posts.  I'm not sure what would cause a request to www.shsforums.net, but embedded images from i.imgur.com make perfect sense.

@Mike1072 Thank you for the info.

Do you need any help with the url rewrite stuff? It's quite annoying and degrading search engine results as well.

[Mike1072]

Yes, it's annoying.

It's not something we have direct control over.  We've been pestering support to fix it.

Would it be possible to leave the smiley window open and not have it shut by itself after chosing one smiley? Because sometimes you just have to post more than one in a row and it gets rather tedious this way (especially since opening that extra window and loading all smiley pictures takes a little while, at least for me).

Erhm, I just got a:

Not that I can for sure tell you how I got that... but I will post it here anyway. It was gone a few minutes later, so it's good for now, but anyways.

Hey there, folks! Any possibility of the highlighting code display using Argent77’s WeiDU .baf .tp2 .d highlighting?

(not that important in the grand scheme of things, but if we have all those programming languages already there, so I thought I’d ask)
