Shouldn't it also
1) Say "Hope you enjoyed your visit!"
and
2) Say "Y'all come back now, hear?"

I like (not) how they took it upon themselves to do this, which nobody asked for, but STILL can't fix the fact that hovering ones mouse over a thread link makes it change color to the same as the background color, rendering it invisible!George / NJ

I just realized that this feature is interfering with hotlinking even legitimate images from third-party hosting sites.
To wit (and e.g.):

This is the image hosted at the link above, FWIW:
hmmm... upon reflection, I wonder if this had anything to do with this morning's internet imbroglio involving Fastly?

Whatever the case, it's a pain in the Pohanka Hyundai.

I think Vanilla itself is an unwanted feature of the Polk Forum...

Commodore 64 with those newfangled "Sprites"
Rumors of going to a 4.7Mhz DOS system are in the wind. Depends on the availability of a Tandy 1000 on eBay of course.
Keep your fingers crossed !
I'm sure Polk means well but how about we try NOT meaning well and see how that turns out ? 👍

in other "unwanted Vanilla feature" news -- I note, with mounting aggravation, that the emojis are once again superscripted.

Do we know if they worked on code for either Bezos' or Branson's space capsules?
Just... you know... curious.
