Deb, What happened to the Amazon link?

[foxhopper]

I can still see it on my laptop. I don't know about on the phone ap.

Not sure what you mean, nothing has been changed. First screen shot is from a computer, the second from a phone:

It used to be at the top of the page. Now this is what I have?

What browser are you using? Is it blocking ads or Amazon stuff or something? I see a gap between the Lions Links and the Donate link in your screenshot.

I'm using a chromebook with Ublock Origin, but I have been using it for a long time. I just noticed this when I was going to buy something on Amazon. Ublock must have done an upgrade.

Thanks. I'll figure out a workaround.

Here's the link in the meantime:

I updated our vBulletin software today from version 5.5.2 to 5.6.1. The upgrade had a few hiccups, so it took much longer than I had planned. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hey, everyone. As of the database update I just made, we now have emojis!! You can find them by opening the Advanced Editor (the button with the A) and then looking for the smilie face just before the Quote button. See the highlighted buttons in this screenshot.

I am debating on removing the Smilies we have been using. We'll see.

As we only had one active thread in each of the Movie, Off Topic, and Politics forums, I have archived those forums or threads and moved the three active threads to the Lions forum. I hope this will encourage participation in those discussions. Please prefix off topic and politics thread appropriately (I have created a new Politics prefix).

Note: I spent all morning moving the individual threads from the Off Topic and Movie forums to the Archives. After spending all that time, I realized I could have just moved the forums themselves. Ugh! So the Politics forum is archived in tact while the other two forums just have their threads in the Archive forum.

Not sure what to make of your post, UK!

I received a note from Amazon today. They are auditing our commission account for the first time ever. Sad that they think a site that is currently earning $10-30 a month is worthy of such a review but whatever. I've answered their questions honestly. I suspect they won't be happy with the lack of visual ads and they may cancel our account. We will need to decide where to go from there. Cross your fingers that it won't come to that.
