It asked if I knew that...

I came across a question like that at Regions one year... Except I did know what it was asking about, so I said said "yes." I've never been sure if it was correct, though, since we don't get the tests back.

If I do remember correctly, that is the right term, one of many

Erm... Sorry... Is it a site-wide issue, or are the hide tags not working only for me? But I can see it if I quote, so should be fine.

All correct. Your turn!

It's a site-wide thing. The only way to fix it is to go into your User Control Panel, and then go to Board Preferences. At the bottom, there'll be a box. It should say "scioly_old." Change that to "scioly," click Save, and they should work. It also changes the side that the user information is on and the font. The information is alright, but I personally despise the font.
