My only problem with Brave has been getting randomly logged out (like it killed the cookies or something).  Other than that, been getting the ads OK, and even having to lower the guard on a few sites to make them function correctly.

I don't see anything in the bbcode reference that might implement this, as the forum uses bbcode, not markdown.

I took a quick look at the mods site, and didn't see anything to recommend as far as a modification that might allow that.

Keep in mind that they're trying to sell you something.  There are several horror stories out there about these types of 'publishers' where you pay them a small 'fee' to publish your book.

I think I lost an electron.

Are you sure?

I'm positive!


I'm never going to survive without my proton!

Oh, you're so negative.


neutron walks into a bar, tells the bartender he's worried about the tab. Bartender says "For you, no charge."


A neutrino walks into a bar. Bartender asks "what can I get you?" "Nothing, I'm just passing through."


Someone tried to hit on a neutrino in the bar... but they had no interaction.


when all the ions get organized, do they unionize?


I have nothing against anion union but just for the record I'm a space alien cation.


People often mistakenly accuse me of having no sense of humour.

That's not true.

Though yes, it's pretty lousy. And small.

Subatomic, actually.

I think what you're seeing is the fact that listening from multiple sources can cause a source not to get the message depending on how the first in the chain deals with the message.
