Just wondering, if you break a thread's rules (e.g. In the Just FIve Words With Love thread, your post has to continue the story above you and can only have five words), can you get a warning?

Not a mod there, but I'd say if you do it systematically/repeatingly, then I'd count as trolling.
Did anything change in the meantime, e.g. javascript settings (IE doesn't have addons, does it?)?
What about the other drop down menus?

Now it is suddenly working again for whatever reason. Must had been some weird glitch or something. Thanks for responding to my concern, though.
EDIT: And it came back immediatly after making this post.
But maybe it has to do with posting? I'm going to look into that.

You aren't alone. 
That definitely sounds like the JavaScript was not already loaded for you.
Do you block that sometimes somehow?

Simply because we don't allow users to post commercial advertising. There is very little distinction between a regular user doing this and the sort of crap we get from spambots.
Did you just say you can't tell regular users and spambots apart easily? I find that a little hard to believe.
edit: Oh, this is great. The drop down boxes (like thread tools and search) aren't working for me. Again. What the heck is the problem with them? They do this roughly half the time and I don't know why.

Well, regular users post regular stuff, while spambots post just for the sake of spamming. If you can't tell the difference ...
Commercial advertising is commercial advertising. Whether it's done by spambots or in members' signatures is irrelevant.
It's irrelevant because it's against the rules for anyone to post commercial advertising. CFC does it so Thunderfall can pay for this site and keep it and its content free for the rest of us.
Those are the same question, and the answer is simple: "Just because it is."

Sorry, I thought you meant your cat comment in an unfriendly way. I like Get Fuzzy too, but that's not where my avatar is from. See the "Cheezburger" link in my sig and you'll see what I mean. I'm the resident forum "Cat Lady" (although I'm NOT crazy - I only have 2 cats!).

What happens for me is that something called 'booklandonline.info' tries to load. While it's connecting, none of the dropdown menus will open. Once it stops trying, or connects, or whatever is happening here, the menus will open as normal.
Try waiting twenty seconds or so after you load the page and see if they will open then. If so, it might be the same problem.
Oh, I thought that was Bucky. :|
I'll try that next time it happens.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. Also, I PMed ainwood about this, but I haven't gotten a response and could really use this at the moment:
I am trying to find the profile option that hides my "Current Activity", but I can't find it. Can you point me in the right direction? I would also like to find the option that makes "online/offline" indicator (
) stay permanently "offline".
